Classic Maine Cottage with astonishing views located within walking distance to Cedar Beach!

We loved the blue heron cottage, and Bailey's Island is a very special place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was clean a comfortable and we loved the deck. Ideal location on Bailey Island.

The house was exactly what we were looking for, clean, comfortable and not fancy. It had everything we needed, including extra beach chairs and toys. My daughter loved sleeping in the drawer bed in the living room. The big bed downstairs was creaky and I was honestly a little afraid my husband and I might break it (we're on the large side) but it held up. We would stay here again without hesitation.

the inside was a camp not a cottage. bugs in the bed and in the bathroom sink. Also crawling around. Plastic table cloth in kitchen was filthy. we used kitchen only a couple times. i bought a couple plastic table cloths for the next people. Also bought a new spatula to. you need to leave more towels in the beginning. couple towels don't do it. also plunger was so old it flipped over on the first try. need to trim those bushes. can only sit outside for s few minutes because to many mosquitos. the worst part is when you use the toilet, anyone in the house can hear what you are doing. When you flush you can hear it outside. This is not a good place for a summer rental.

The property and location were beautiful! The deck was the best space to relax and enjoy the views. The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked. Love the history of the old house. The property manager was very attentive to our needs. Easy walk to Mackerel Cove and beach down the street. Will definitely stay again !

Very rustic cabin with gorgeous views.

We had a wonderful week at Blue Heron. At first we thought the bedrooms being downstairs would be awkward, but it made sense since we hung out mostly upstairs where we had a nice view of the ocean. The cottage has everything we needed to cook meals including a lobster pot and crackers. It was a quick 1/2 mile walk to Cedar Beach which was not crowded at all. Beautiful beach! There were even beach toys at the cottage which was great since my son thought he was too old for beach toys when we were packing but once we went to the beach he wanted all kinds of things. The cottage is also walking distance to a little grocery store that has basic items and sells breakfast food and sandwiches. It was a great week!

Blue heron notes Overall cottage was clean and enjoyable. The deck was simply amazing. Beach umbrella one extension arm is broken and unsafe to use Someone had attempted a repair with tape. One usable skillet in kitchen, would be nice for a larger skillet instead of just one small skillet. Would also mention to renters that the tap water is not drinkable, please bring your own drinking / cooking water. Alot of the pans have rust in them One of the pan handles is broken unsafe to use, I left it out with a note Our love for Bailey island continues to grow year after year. We look forward to our next stay next year, something that sits on the water and allows our dog to also enjoy the ocean

This small, two story, no frills cottage is one street from the ocean, has a nice view of the water from the back deck (perfect for breakfast), and has a very short walk to the coastline where you can find lots of treasures. The kitchen was equipped with every possible pot and utensil and the beds were comfy. Though there were just two of us, the two bedrooms on the first level would provide plenty of room for a small family. There was always a pleasant breeze drifting through the cottage. An added bonus was the short walk to Cedar Beach (sandy) which is accessible to only those who own nearby homes or their renters/guests. There is no parking permitted on Cedar Beach Rd, so the beach goers are only those who can walk. It was lovely, with plenty of shells, and at low tide you could wade all the way out to Cedar Island where you could explore the tidal pools. There are beach monitors who confirm your identity...they are very pleasant. We totally enjoyed our stay!

The house was super hot during the day and super cold during the night. I arrived and had to put my own fan together. After that nats covered my bed. The next night the nats were less but there were ants and spiders. The bedsrooms downstairs are next to the water system which makes a loud processing noise at 2 or 3 in the morning.
