About this property

Panoramic Oceanfront Views Of Garrison Cove, Wills Gut And Casco Bay

Experience charming, picturesque Bailey Island, a Maine Casco Bay Coastal Island destination for vacationers from all over the world for over 100 years. Because Bailey Island is now connected to the mainland by the world's only existing Cribstone Bridge, it is no longer necessary to take a ferry to visit. Built in 2013 with 5 large king bedrooms, the Flying Lobster Ocean House has incredible panoramic views in all directions. The back of the House faces the west and is located less than 50 feet from Merriconeag Sound; the front of the house faces the east and is located less than 50 feet from Garrison Cove. Every room has incredible long distance oceanfront views. The view from the front of our property was listed in the 60 Year Anniversary Edition of Downeast Magazine as one of the best views in Maine. The House is surrounded by so much water and ocean scenery, you will feel like you are cruising on a ship. See some of the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the large windows and decks on the East, West, and North sides of the House. Garrison Cove is a working lobster harbor with several lobster boats moored and a working lobster dock in front of the House. Walk 200 yards to famous Cook's Lobster Restaurant and Lobster Pound and eat lobsters at the Restaurant or buy precooked lobsters at the Pound or live ones and cook them at the House. You won't taste fresher or better lobsters anywhere. The lobsters you eat are caught in the waters surrounding the House on the same day by the lobster boats moored directly in front of the House. If you have your own boat, we have a deep water mooring you can use located in Garrison Cove in front of our property. House has many amenities including 60 inch TV and Surround Sound System and gas fireplace in living room, WIFI throughout house, and 32 inch TVs in all 5 Bedrooms, 3 of which have private decks. Central air conditioning, screen porch overlooking Sound, and decks on both side of house and huge raised sun deck on edge of Merriconeag Sound. The views around the House, especially Garrison Cove and the Cribstone Bridge, are some of the most photographed scenes on the Maine Coast and extend to Small Point to the East, High Head to the North, Harpswell Neck to the West and Cape Elizabeth to the Southwest. From the House screen porch and oceanfront decks, see seals swimming in the Sound, lobster men and women setting and pulling traps, and Casco Bay Lines ferry boats, kayaks, skiffs, sailboats, tuna, fishing and lobster boats cruising by just a stones throw from the shore of the property. Walk on the beach on the front of the House adjacent to Garrison Cove or the shoreline on the deepwater oceanfront side finding shells, crabs, mussels, snails, sea glass, driftwood and other ocean treasures.

Even better than the photos

My jaw dropped when I drove up to the Flying Lobster House on Bailey Island. It is magnificent - literally surrounded by water on all sides. The pictures on Vrbo don't do it justice. We had a wonderful week and I was sad to say goodbye to those incredible ocean views.

Great three days

The views are terrific from every room.. The activities surrounding the house like the working lobster and fishing boats make just looking out the windows so much fun and the outside sitting gives you views of porpoises and seals. Theirs are many local trails to hike and close by kayaks to rent. The house is well appointed and our family enjoyed cooking in the kitchen together when we didn’t go out to close by restaurants. We had a wonderful time….

Simply amazing and better than pictured. Everything you need for the trip within a 20 min drive or even within walking distance. We’ve been to Maine many times, and there’s nothing like this place and this island. Sincerely hope to return. Hosts responded to any questions we had within minutes. Thanks so much.

Amazing house! Surrounded by ocean, incredible views from every room!

We loved this place! You could not ask for a better spot! The entire house has panoramic ocean views and you get to see sunrise and sunset. Gorgeous view of cribstone bridge and easy walk two great restaurants, Cook’s and Morse’s. Kitchen is modern and well stocked and open floor plan great for socializing. Outside deck is perfect for sunset happy hours. Nearby hikes at Devil’s back and Giant Steps are beautiful. Would definitely rent this place again!

Bucket List location

We came from Michigan on a bucket list trip. I have stage 4 cancer and have been traveling all year. This house and location were the most beautiful place we have been to this year. The views from anywhere inside were breathless. We purchased lobster to cook in, the house was well stocked with all the cookware. Beds were comfy, family room was cozy. I have already shared the link to friends. Must stay location!

We loved It!

We had spectacular time and the house was everything we had hoped it would be. We rode bikes, and ran, and soaked in everything this quant little island has to offer. Close enough to make day trips to some of the more “touristy” destinations, but far enough away to enjoy the solitude we were looking forward to. The house was well equipped to meet all our needs and the owners have clearly worked hard to ensure guests are comfortable during their stay. This was our first trip to Maine and this experience made us definitely want to return.

Beautiful home perched on the water in Maine!

We loved this home, we had 7 ladies on a girls New England adventure! The house was perfect for us, each room has amazing views, wonderful bedding and beautiful decorated. We were there when it was cold, so we didn't use the Adirondack chairs as much as I would have liked, but just seeing them brought a wave of tranquility over me. The kitchen is fully equipped and we had a wonderful surprise in the refrigerator waiting for us. You will not be disappointed booking this home, it is outstanding!

Great place to stay!

Five couples from high school (decades ago!) get together every 3 years for a reunion. We always book through VRBO and the Flying Lobster House was the best house so far. With 5 great bedrooms we all slept comfortably and the open kitchen/dining/living area provided ample space to catch up with each other. The fireplace is a great touch and added comfort and ambiance . Every room has a fantastic view and the proximity (walking distance) to several restaurants and bars was convenient. We enjoyed the fall colors and easy hikes right there on Bailey and Orr Islands and never has to venture far for anything. I highly recommend the Flying Lobster House!
