About this property

Comfortable & family-friendly, this 4 bed/3 bath, well-equipped home offers access to the wonders of the ocean tides with the luxury of a heated pool, sunny deck and cozy indoor spaces to relax and recharge.

Originally built in 1900, the Flying Jib was moved to a new foundation and underwent renovations in 1991. It now boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large, comfortable living spaces, and a fully equipped kitchen.

The cottage is equipped with games, books, and puzzles, internet access, televisions that allow for streaming content as well as viewing of dvd's.

The property allows for direct access to Herrick's Bay, to the west and what may be the most beautiful walk and views of Blue Hill and Jericho Bays to the east and south. High tide completely covers the rocky shore, and low tide allows for exploration of the wondrous sea creatures that live beneath. Live sand dollars, sea stars, anemones, a myriad of crabs and sea urchins can be observed along sandbars that become walking paths at very low tides that give access to the off-shore islands.

We only rent by the week between June-September (Saturday to Saturday). We can be somewhat more flexible in the shoulder season.

Great Stay in Flye Point

We had a great week at the Flying Jib. We traveled with 3 young kids and we had a great week. There is plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, the pool was fantastic, and we walked down to the ocean almost every day. I wish we had brought our bikes or a folding beach cart to walk the kids down to the water, but we managed. We've stayed in multiple locations in Brooklin, Stonington, Brooksville. etc. and we REALLY enjoyed the location of the Flying Jib. It's secluded, quiet but yet still relatively close to a variety of things to do (hikes, restaurants, etc.). We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Accommodations

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely cottage which truly captured everything our imaginations had expected from vacationing on the coast of Maine. The cottage was comfortable, clean, and quiet. All of the places we wanted to go were within (at most) an hour’s drive. Kate was a wonderful, responsive hostess, always available to answer questions about the area and provide suggestions of places to go. Wonderful experience!

Maine….the way life is!

As a Mainer, I feel it’s important to vacation at “home”, too. Every other year we spend at least a week in Maine so that we can support our Maine community. This was our first time staying at here. Here are some of our favorite things: 1. It’s secluded. Away from the hustle and bustle of Maine’s summer vacationland. However, you are a 15-30 minute drive to everything you might need/want while here. 2. The access to the ocean. A 5-7 minute walk and you can explore, swim, rest, walk, read, etc.,,, We found sea urchins, sea glass, and other sea treasures. We didn’t find as many sea stars, but we wonder if it’s because the water felt warmer (not warm at all) than usual for this time of year. We had several exploration days. 3.The house itself is definitely a Maine sea cottage vibe with lots of History. A grill/patio area, a covered porch, living room area, and a pool patio area were some of the places to escape and relax. 4. The pool. We only used it 1x and it was one of the main reasons we chose the house. (Ocean and pool means my teens would be happy.Less fighting! Ha!) but, the weather did not cooperate. 5. The host was awesome with communication and being helpful. She was lovely. She even helped us find some treasure hunting hot spots. We also enjoyed visits to Brooklin Inn for dinner, Blaze, and got lobsters off the pier in Stonington….so fun!!!! I would definitely pack some warmer clothes for evening just in case temps drop. We hope to come back! Thank you!
