About this property
Waterfront cottage situated at the mouth of Mackerel Cove. Amazing sunset views!
Welcome to Sea Scent!
Experience the very best of Maine's coast at Sea Scent, the largest and most spacious of three charming sister cottages perched along the water's edge on beautiful Bailey Island. With its generous layout, fresh updates, and stunning oceanfront setting, Sea Scent offers an unforgettable retreat for couples, families, or anyone looking to soak in the magic of the Atlantic.
This tastefully decorated cottage is designed for comfort and convenience, with all main living spaces located on the first floor. Step inside and you'll be welcomed by an airy open-concept layout featuring tall cathedral ceilings and sunlit spaces that make gathering together a joy. The newly updated kitchen boasts sleek quartz countertops, modern appliances, and all the tools needed for preparing your favorite meals.
The open living and dining area allows everyone to stay connected. Whether you're lounging on the new living room furniture, enjoying a movie on the large Smart TV, or sharing dinner at the six-person dining table. A propane fireplace adds cozy ambiance on cooler evenings, while the steep shiplap staircase leads to a loft area with a queen-size bed, offering additional sleeping space with a charming, elevated view.
The main-floor queen bedroom provides comfort and convenience, complete with a spacious closet for your belongings and direct access to the full bathroom, which features double sinks and a stand-up shower.
Outside, Sea Scent shines as a true oceanfront haven. Guests have access to:
A shared dock, perfect for launching kayaks or simply enjoying the tides
A pebbly beach ideal for rock-skimming and seaside wandering
A shared laundry room, adding ease to your stay
As the largest of the three sister cottages, Sea Scent offers more room to relax, gather, and savor the calming presence of the Atlantic making it an excellent choice for those wanting extra space without sacrificing charm or coastal character.
Come experience this quintessential Maine getaway right at the ocean's edge… you won't regret it!
