Amazing Views, and Comfortable Spaces in this Well Appointed Island Home

Great house, bathrooms in every bedroom made it perfect for traveling with multiple couples. Well stocked kitchen and baths!

Had a great time! Beautiful place.

The house is amazing except that it is much in need of maintenance and very much in need of a deep cleaning. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean but the kitchen throughout, walls, upholstery, area rugs, laundry room needed deep cleaning. The dryer vent is a fire hazard. Many food items should be thrown away. Some cookware was unusable and should be thrown away. Patio furniture was not usable because of a green mold. The water heater was not working upon our arrival on Saturday. After calling the owner we said we were fine with waiting until Sunday morning for someone to come and service it. They came promptly at 9:15 and stayed until it was fixed around 2:00-3:00. We appreciated their diligence to this matter. The driveway was a bit risky being very steep, on a curve and on a hill. Not great visibility. All in all, we enjoyed the island, restaurants, people and the beautiful scenery. The house itself has really good bones and with better maintenance and cleaning it would be true gem. The house has been filled with many interesting pieces of memorabilia and wonderful old books. The online pictures show it to be very simple but a lot of very interesting pieces have been added. The rooftop is a wonderful spot to enjoy beautiful sunsets.

A fabulous property rental for our large and active family. The owner was responsive to our questions and needs. The running joke of the week of you couldn’t find something you needed was that you just weren’t looking hard enough. The house has absolutely everything.

Another amazing vacation on Bailey Island in this perfect house (the driveway is a bit tricky but very doable). We love that there’s so much to do right on the island like fishing, beach combing… and yet you aren’t far from shopping and other attractions. The house is ideal for our large extended family and there is plenty of space for games, puzzles, tv, crochet… Brett, as always, was prompt in communications and a pleasure to deal with. We are already looking forward to next year!

The house was lovely and well suited for our group of 11. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make meals. We loved cooking and eating fresh lobster! My kids enjoyed having a tv in their own room. Bailey Island is an amazing place to explore - especially the Giant Stairs and walking to the water at different times of day. We also day tripped to Acadia, explored Boothbay Harbor, and loved Brunswick.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it to anyone considering coming to Bailey Island. There were ten in our family from age 4 to 72 and everyone loved the house and all the amenities it provided. The wonderful furnishings are warm and comfortable and the house has so much space to spread out yet the living and dining area is large enough everyone could be together when we wanted to. And if you love to cook, you are really going to love the kitchen. We did use it but also went to many of the great restaurants nearby. There is a lot to see in the area but this is also a nice place to simply relax and enjoy the clean Maine air.

The house and property are better than advertised, since the pictures don't fully do it justice. We're a family of 6 and everyone had an amazing time. The house is beautiful, especially the kitchen and dining area. The bedrooms are all comfy cozy, and it's amazing that they all have their own bathrooms. 10/10 would recommend!

Good location, near a small beach good for little ones, a couple restaurants, and a kayak rental spot just north of the bridge (which has a sidewalk). Helpful and responsive host, Brett. He immediately and pleasantly attended to a couple of house problems noted the first and second day of our stay.The four upstairs bedrooms were air-conditioned, adequately-sized and had en-suite bathrooms. We didn't use the fold out couch on the first floor or twin trundle beds in the garden level game and media room.The kitchen is more than adequately stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc. and pantry staples. Also plenty of paper products for kitchen and bathrooms.The dining area/family room and kitchen are in a nice open plan, great for gathering.There are books galore in most of the rooms.The wrap-around deck is great, with a large picnic-style table, grill, and multiple outdoor seats and benches. (The cushions could use a cleaning, as they were a little green in places).Parking near the house and exiting the driveway are a bit challenging, as mentioned in other reviews.Our visit was over the July 4th week, and the view from the roof deck of fireworks up and down the coast was spectacular. A real memory-maker.

Spacious floorplan that includes en suite bathrooms for each bedroom was perfect for our group of seven. Bailey Island is unquestionably a lovely location and I highly recommend it. My only critique is that the kitchen, which is large and great for people who like to cook, could use a thorough detailing. The dishwasher didn't work properly and the soap cover was broken. The oven runs cooler than the thermostat. Some of the older supplies could be tossed. Finally, the rooftop patio was not accessible during our stay due to previous storm damage. I think it would have been a wonderful feature, but it did not impair our family time together. All that said, the house was charming, comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. One last thing. The hot water heater had a small problem while we were there. Brett was very responsive and solved the problem without delay. Our communication with him was excellent. Just trying to give a comprehensive and honest review. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful house for sisters and husbands, children and grandchildren to stay all together. Plenty of space for 11. Spent long hours on the wonderful wraparound deck. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms

Our stay was disappointing. We arrived in the middle of the night, and went straight to bed- the check-in was very easy. When we woke up in the morning there was no hot water. While our host did respond quickly and said he’d be over within the hour, it took him almost four hours to actually come over and fix the issue with the water heater. He was not apologetic and seemed annoyed.Later in the week the water stopped altogether- suddenly when we turned on the sinks there was no water at all. Luckily it resolved within a half an hour.When contacted he stated I need to make sure to flip up all toilet handles or ‘you’ll drain the well.’ We were careful to do this and it was not the issue. The house was dirty. There are many positive reviews so our experience was unexpected and disappointing. He mentioned we were the first renters of the season- he clearly did not clean or prepare anything. The faucet on the sink in the kitchen was very loose and hard to do dishes as it was bent forward and moved around every time we used it.Most of the utensils and pots/pans were sticky and needed to be washed before using. The sheets smelled and needed to be washed.The trash area was overflowing with garbage. The pictures make the home look it is on the water/ it is not. They are outdated and there are trees blocking the view now. It is on a busy main road.The rooftop deck was empty without a bar or seating as advertised. The roof leaked and got my clothes wetDo not recommend.

Great house very comfortable and well appointed. Very roomy for our entire family. Nice to have en suite bathrooms with all the bedrooms. The host was very good with communication. Located on a busy road and the driveway is on a curve which made it a little challenging entering and exiting the property.

This lovely home on Bailey Island served as a wonderful locale for our family gathering. Spacious deck with outdoor dining area, as well as several common areas inside. The upper deck was an added plus with day and evening views across the harbor. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and private. The main floor study/library’s sleep sofa may work for someone of a younger age,but was not comfortable for our guest. Several minor issues need attention, which the owner indicated would be worked on the following week. Both the owner and his personable assistant were very responsive during our stay. Parking and egress were a bit of a challenge, but one we adjusted to, and a backup parking area was available to us if we had needed it. The home has a very interesting family history, which adds to its charm. I could have easily stayed another week just to enjoy the views, the books, and art and historical items on the walls, etc.

Our extended family had a wonderful time on Bailey Island. The house had plenty of room for all of us even with two rain days. Brett was a pleasure to deal with and was always timely in getting back to us.

Our entire group of seven was delighted with the house and location! We cooked most evenings and loved having dinner every night on the expansive porch with beautiful views. The interior is spacious and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The driveway is a little tricky but definitely manageable with the windows down to hear vehicles approaching when you're pulling out. We would absolutely rent again. Thank you Brett and Family for a lovely week with many happy memories!

What an outstanding host and property. We vacation as a family every year, all over the east coast, and this home rates at the top. The bedrooms each had a bathroom-the kitchen was equipped for a chef-the outdoor areas were so beautiful (including awakening each day to the birds!)-and the home was decorated to make you feel at home. The host has a wonderful home and we’re so welcoming. Thank you!

My family had a great time in this beautiful house. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with everything you could need as a chef. The setup on the deck was perfect for cooking lobsters and having an outdoor dinner. Each bedroom had its own air conditioning which was wonderful for each guest. The kids were so excited about watching the fireworks on the rooftop deck which did not disappoint!! The house is in walking distance to some local restaurants and strolls on the cribstone bridge. Lovely stay on Bailey Island.
