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.

    Do not trust this person!!!!She’s accusing us of leaving 20 minutes after checkout when we have timestamps of the Uber and damaging her property!!! we are a group of retired law-enforcement, border patrol and business owners…… if we had damaged her property, we would have told her about it as I have done in the past when I damaged a property on accident……She is withholding my deposit unrightfully and will not give me a time when it will be returned…….This owner should be questioning her staff who cleans the house as they blatantly lied about us being there after checkout I’m assuming they would lie about damage also!!!!

    The communication between us and VRBO hosts was nonexistent! We wrote to them about our concerns and NO ONE RESPONDED.

    We rented the house to get our family together for a week, six adults, four pre-teens. The house was comfortable and clean with great views of the water. It was easy to come together for meals and gathering, but large enough for people to have time alone. One note: the house is rated for 10 guests, but the dining table has 8 chairs, so we brought 2 folding chairs from home.

    The location was beautiful and accurate. However, first of all, the cleaning crew left Starbucks drinks in the fridge. There was exactly 1 towel per person and 1 hand towel per bathroom. And with 9 people in the house the hand towels were constantly soaked. The washer and dryer was dirty and the dryer lint collector was more than full upon arrival. The floors were vacuumed but left your socks black at days end. The vacuum, upon arrival, was plugged with dirt and hair that we had to remove for the vacuum to work. The back door would not shut properly upon arrival and they are now charging us 1000 for a rusted door that was old and non functioning. Everyone would wake in the morning with new bug bites. Upon departure we had to remove the sheets and found spiders in the beds! We also had to clean the house, remove garbage, clean dishes and put away before departure. The house looked better when leaving than arriving. We would not repeat a stay if we were to return to Bailey Island.

    This home is truly 'as advertised '. Our three adult children (and their significant others) gathered here for 7 days, to celebrate my wife's birthday. The home is stunning, the views are remarkable, and our hosts were gracious.

    We had a great stay in this fabulous property. It meet all our expectations. The beds were very comfortable for a group of seniors who can be critical at times.

    We were a family of 6 adults traveling from GA, VA, UT & NY to vacation at this lovely home on the water. We loved having the convenience of Cook’s Restaurant and Sundrenched restaurant so close by. We bought our lobsters and fresh seafood from Gurnet Trading Company which was great. Unfortunately we couldn’t really use the screened porch because the furniture was just way too large for the small room. We couldn’t get around the table because of the large chairs with arms. The dining room chairs are very heavy also but not really a deterrent. The location of this house is fantastic …breathtaking views all around. The host was very quick to respond when we had an issue with the pump alarm going off. We loved having the decks and especially the seating area by the water. We never used a TV while we were there because we were just enjoying our time at this lovely house. It’s about a 25 - 30 minute drive to Brunswick so we did most of our grocery shopping on our way to the house. Although the description said toilet paper, paper towels, etc. were provided, we found that we had to shop for more shortly after we arrived. And there was only one garbage bag. These are minor things we just wanted renters to be aware of.
