Spacious Cottage Perfect for a Peaceful and Quiet stay on the Ocean with Beach

Friendly Cottage on Oceanside, Bailey Island is now available for your seaside holiday, no matter the season. This well-insulated cottage, heated and cooled by solar and geothermal systems, is appealing during the less - crowded brisk Maine springs, the lazy ocean-breezed days of summer, the colourful crisp days of fall, or the quiet peaceful days of winter.
Friendly cottage is on the east side of the island with an unhindered view of Casco Bay and spectacular sunrises, and sits on a secluded beach at the dead end of a quiet area.
Yet, the cottage is in walking distance of the local general store, post office, a non-denominational church, several local eateries including the famous Cook's Lobster House as well as Mackerel Cove, the hub of the fishing and boating community. Entertaining and socialising has a comfortable flow in this 3 bedroom-2 bathroom home - perfect for family get-togethers, reunions, special events or simply a nest to enjoy the Maine experience. The nearest shopping centers are in Brunswick (13 miles away and a 30 minute drive). Stopping at a supermarket before you come to Bailey Island might be more convenient, although there is a general store with limited supplies.
Friendly Cottage is an excellent example of a home built with many innovative technologies including solar hot water panels and geothermal, just to name a few. If you are considering building an energy efficient home with all or some of these technologies, come for a stay!

Beautiful home with great views of the ocean from inside and out. The house was comfortable and very clean. Outside spaces were beautiful, loved the Adirondack chairs where the lawn met the ocean, well landscaped with lots of flowers, and the table and chairs next to the grill also had a great view. Loved exploring the small beaches you could walk to right from the house.

The description and pictures of this property did not do it justice! The views from the primary bedroom and living room were stunning. All of the furniture was extremely comfortable and every room was not only spotless, but beautifully decorated. Bailey island is small but has everything you could possibly want. We spent our afternoons exploring the area which included many cute little coastal towns all within an hours drive. These communities do a fantastic job supporting local artists - so you get a very unique and friendly experience everywhere you go. 10/10 would return!!

This was our second year renting this cottage and we already have reserved it for 2 weeks next year. It has everything we needed for our stay, including everything needed to cook lobsters! (A lot cheaper to make your own than ordering at a restaurant). My favorite activity was sitting on the red chairs overlooking the ocean and reading a book. There were lots of other things to do that were more active, but I really liked relaxing while watching the lobster boats go by. I also loved the comfortable temperatures and listening to the ocean at night.My husband and I did venture off the island a few times to play golf and took a ride up to Rockland. We also enjoyed eating out at local restaurants, particularly the Dolphin and Cooks. Most of the time we ate breakfast in the cottage ( thank you, Eric, for the brand new coffee pot). We did go out to the Fishnet Cafe a couple of mornings ( great breakfast) and I would gladly have eaten a lemon scone from the Salt Cod Cafe right over the bridge every morning!Already missing the island and looking forward to next year’s stay.
