Charming seaside house on beautiful Bailey Island!

My family (me, my wife, and two children aged 17 and 14) stayed at this charming seaside house between Christmas and New Year's and had a wonderful time. We have always loved visiting Bailey's Island but have never stayed over night. The island is a perfect getaway during the Holidays for some r&r with your loved ones. The house had all of the modern comforts while providing our family ample room during our stay. The host was gracious and a very good communicator. We hope to stay at this property next year!

Thanksgiving Holiday

This house was beautiful! Every room, Including bedrooms, had a view of the water or harbor. Kitchen and family room were spacious and sunny. We enjoyed the other sitting room as well with pool table and bar. Entire house was clean and very welcoming! Our family enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and we would definitely recommend to others. Booking and communicating with Matt was exceptionally easy. He answered any and all questions and was Watching the lobster boats come in and out was fantastic!

Beautiful home excellent for hosting

Very clean and well maintained home. Made for entertaining, we came to Brunswick for Bowdoin family weekend, due to the sad events in Lewiston, all Friday events were canceled, things were made better by being able to have our son and several other families over for a lobster boil while we sheltered in place.

Bailey Island getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay. The home has plenty of room for people to spread out over two floors. The location is spectacular with amazing Maine coastal views from every window. Cook’s Lobster House is a two minute drive from the property. Overall a very memorable experience and we would love to come back again.

Why they chose this property

Mackerel Cove is famous for being the most photographed waterfront in Maine. The harbor is a working waterfront with lobster boats that set out to sea every day and return in the evening with their catch. Bailey Island is accessible by bridge, but has a true laid back island vibe that visitors feel the moment they set foot. Come and relax with your family and you will want to return for years to come!
