Completely renovated cottage within walking distance to beaches, restaurants and the most beautiful coastal vistas you could ask for. This cottage was originally a carriage house/garage for the Main house constructed by civil war artist Xanthus Smith so it comes with history yet it has been completely redone for todays more modern lifestyle. The view from the master bedroom deck towards the famous Cribstone bridge is breathtaking. You can take a walk to Cedar Beach, Garrison Cove beach or for a bit longer walk you can head to Mackerel Cove. So many options and such amazing coastal vistas to enjoy. There are boating charters available close by should you choose to head out into Casco Bay. You can also take a quick walk across the Cribstone Bridge and rent a kayak for the day. If you choose to run into town ( Brunswick) there are great options of things going on in town and on the Bowdoin campus. If you choose to travel you can head up the coast to Bath, Boothbay or all the way up to Acadia - or you can also head down toward Freeport for some outlet shopping or head down to Portland for all they have to offer there. Please note we area a Saturday to Saturday booking schedule due to cleaning schedules. If bringing an electric vehicle please add the electric fee in your reservation.

Beautiful cottage on Bailey. Joanie is a great host and we had everything we needed for a relaxing week. One thing to note; this is probably one of the few cottages with central AC which was a godsend with the unusual heatwave we had.
This little cottage is just fabulous! High quality furnishings, finishes and fixtures. Very comfy beds, wonderful location. Hosts were so nice, great communication. Highly recommended!!
The cottage was perfect for me and my wife. The electric grill outside was used every single day. Having a cloths washer and dryer made it real nice to have clean cloths to unpack when we returned home. The location was perfect for exploring trails nearby too. We can’t wait to return to this perfect cottage.
Accommodations great for four people. Two bathrooms worked out great. Mattresses very comfortable. Location near dining, the water, sailing, lobster boat tours, and general store. House has AC. There is an outdoor picnic-type table. Only view from deck off main bedroom on second floor.
It is a cute place that was very enjoyable. It was clean and well supplied kitchen.
First time I have stayed in a VRBO that I needed to supply my own toilet paper. I thought that was very unusual.
It is right off the highway and could be noisey during weekdays during business hours..
Cute, clean and comfortable. Owners are quickly responsive and easy to reach. Cottage is newly updated with air conditioning ( no screens on windows, so air conditioning was important). Very comfortable beds and well stocked with linens, towels, paper goods and kitchen supplies.
The cottage is lovely with two well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Very nice bedding and everything you need in the kitchen to cook up a lobster feed or make any other great meal. Incredible views from the second floor. Joanie is a terrific host. I can’t say enough about my wonderful week. The location is perfect for setting off on adventures and exploring the Casco Bay Area!
Our family of four had a wonderful time! The cottage was incredibly clean, with a nice layout. A nice touch is that Joanie provides bottled water (in one of those big 5 gallon jug bubbler things). We would definitely be back!
