About this cottage rental

Bring the kids with you to this family-friendly cottage located on beautiful Bailey Island. Enjoy easterly views while you picnic on the upstairs deck with comfortable outdoor furniture.

Inside the cottage, you will find two bedrooms on the entry-level as well as a full bathroom with a stand-up shower. One of the bedrooms has a queen size bed and the other has two twins size beds. As you make your way upstairs you will find the main living area with beautiful ocean views. The kitchen is small but very functional with an eat-in dining area.

Walk out from the living room to the deck which provides you with outdoor dining while taking in the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean air.

Cute spot!
Cute spot!
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!

Overall a pleasant experience
Overall a pleasant experience
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

Quaint beach cottage
Quaint beach cottage
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!

Rustic is an understatement
Rustic is an understatement
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.

Perfect house, perfect location, perfect weather!
Perfect house, perfect location, perfect weather!
Our week at The Blue Heron Cottage was perfect! The weather was divine in June! We escapes 99 degree days in Savannah, GA to enjoy low temps in the mid-fifties and highs in the mid- sixties. The cottage is wonderfully dog-friendly (though Cedar Beach is NOT). The proprietor of B.I.G.S. gave us some tips for where our pup would be most welcome. BTW, the pancakes at B.I.G.S. are spectacular (ask for blueberries)! The food and service at Morse's (an easy walk from the cottage is terrific and the services great, too. We took several easy day trips to Georgetown/Five Islands, Wiscasset (Red's Eats is a MUST) to Boothbay/Boothbay Harbor (Bet's Fish Fry was a culinary high point, even for my wife who likes her fish broiled) and Rockland (The Farnsworth Museum has a terrific Wyeth exhibition)> But most days we hunkered down on Bailey island, walking, some light hiking and lounging in the cottage. Bailey Island was perfect for us! The Blue Heron Cottage reminded us of an old beach house on the SC coast where we'd stayed regularly across 30 plus years. While it was perfect for the two of us, two couples might find it too intimate; having said that, there's nothing I would have changed about our experience. Clean, well appointed (the bed was great!) and perfectly located, we'll be back! Thanks to HomeAaway and Your Island Connection!
