Turn-of-the-Century Classic Maine Cottage with Sweeping Southeasterly Ocean Views

Welcome to Spindrift!

Experience the quintessential Maine coastal getaway at Spindrift, a turn-of-the-century New England-style cottage perched right on the water's edge at the mouth of Little Harbor. With sweeping southeasterly ocean views, the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against nearby ledges sets the tone for a truly relaxing retreat. This charming cottage is the perfect spot to savor sunsets over the Atlantic while feeling completely immersed in the natural beauty of Maine's rugged coastline.

Step onto the side deck or into the spacious sun porch, where outdoor living is brought inside with comfortable seating and a dining table, ideal for morning coffee, casual meals, or an evening cocktail while taking in the panoramic views. Enter through the back to discover a well-equipped laundry room with a large washer and dryer for added convenience.

As you move through the home, you'll find a quaint sitting room with cozy chairs and a TV, perfect for relaxing after a day by the water. The kitchen, though compact, is thoughtfully designed and includes a small table and chairs, making it easy to prepare meals while staying connected with your guests.
​​​​​​​
The heart of the home is the bright and airy living area, boasting 180-degree open ocean views and plenty of space to gather with family or friends. Large windows and thoughtful layouts make it easy to watch the tides, the lobster boats, or the ever-changing light across the water.

Upstairs, the cottage offers four spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Sleep soundly in comfort with a variety of beds to suit your group:
King-size bedroom with stunning ocean views
Queen-size bedroom also offering beautiful water vistas
Full-size bedroom
Two twin beds in a cozy fourth bedroom
Wake up to the sunrise over the Atlantic or enjoy the evening's golden light without even leaving your bed in the front bedrooms.

Spindrift combines timeless Maine charm with modern convenience, including laundry facilities and the owners' water bottle service for your comfort. Relax, recharge, and step back in time while embracing all the pleasures of coastal life.

Please note: This property rents Saturday-Saturday in summer. Fireplace is available for renter(s) use.

Rustic but really nice. Ocean views and outside deck are amazing. Love being able to open the windows for an ocean breeze and listen to the waves. We fully enjoyed the house and our stay.

Outstanding! Traditional Maine camp with stunning views. Roomy and comfortable. We explored the peninsula: hiking, beaches, and restaurants. We walked on the Giant Stairs trail every day. Fabulous!

Classic Maine Oceanfront Cottage

We loved our stay here and hope to return again next summer. Beautiful comfortable sunroom to enjoy meals, reading, and watching the changing surf. Very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Lots of sleeping rooms for guests. Great family retreat. Hiking trails close by.

The grey shingled cottage

The location was spectacular. The house has so much potential but needs a little TLC. Roof leaked in hard rain bathroom wall upstairs at the tub needs replaced and floor in king bedroom needs some leveling. My favorite spot was the enclosed porch. Spent a lot of time there because of the wonderful view.

Authentic Coastal Maine

Older house with a beautiful oceanfront view tucked into an accessible but quiet setting that provided the downtime I needed from this vacation. The house did not provide much privacy, with sound easily traveling through walls, and an interior update would have added to its attractiveness. The view was fantastic but actual access to the water was limited or impossible depending upon one's physical condition due to the steep rocky incline of the bluff. The week provided a relaxed sampling of the way life should be and Bailey Island itself is an easy drive from the Boston area.

We liked: Right on the ocean, the nice sunroom, off street parking, 30-second walk to Driftwood Inn for breakfast. We didn’t like: couldn't take a shower on the first night after a long road trip because no shampoo or shower soap was provided. 98% of all hotels and vacation rentals provide these so it's a standard guest expectation. Could've been addressed by a reminder in the listing for guests to bring their own. Next, I bumped my head badly on the top of the entranceway, which is only 64 inches high in contrast to the standard residential door height of 80 inches. Need a warning sign reminding guests of “Low clearance” when entering, and/or striped safety tape across the head jamb. Next, the electric tea kettle in the kitchen had water in it along with sediment and waterlogged crackers. Another tea kettle looked corroded so I ended up using a saucepan to heat my water. The stovetop had standing water on it. Next, the upstairs bathroom ceiling leaked one night from rain, a known issue. Next, half the flashlights in the event of a power outage didn’t work and the most accessible one had a stained lens as if the batteries had leaked. Next, the listing says the unit has heating but it's a propane unit that mostly just heats the living room. We stayed in October and it was chilly some days. In sum, we experienced multiple issues. A turn-of-the-century cottage is OK but the owner and property management need to address these issues especially safety ones; some are easy fixes.
