About this cottage rental

This charming 2BR, 1BA quintessential Maine cottage is perfectly located on a quiet road, close to all Bailey Island has to offer, including local beaches, seaside restaurants, hiking trails and more. You'll love rocking on the covered porch, sipping your morning coffee with the sight and sound of waves crashing along the shores of Little Harbor and exploring the beautiful Harpswell Islands.

Inside you'll find a recently renovated interior with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting and dining area with a gas Rinnai heater and electric fireplace insert for chilly nights, all opening to a covered porch with beautiful easterly views of Casco Bay. On the second floor you'll find a landing with chairs and TV (with a lovely elevated view of the ocean), a double bed, the primary bedroom with queen bed, and a second bedroom with a twin bed. The many windows welcome the natural sunlight and salty breeze to flow through the cottage and a window AC unit will be added upstairs for the 2024 season. Above the shed, you'll find a wonderful bonus room with a daybed, a great playroom or private area to work. Outside there is also a picnic table for outside dining and relaxing.

Spend your mornings on the sweet porch, catch breakfast at the Bailey Island General Store or Fishnet Café, take a scenic walk across the Historic Cribstone Bridge, enjoy lunch at Sundrenched, take off to hike the Cliff Trail, return for dinner at Cook's Lobster & Ale House, and retreat back to the cottage to rest for another day of exploring! Mackerel Cove (0.7mi away) and Cedar Beach (1.6mi away) are just up the road, offering great water access for beachcombing, swimming, and kayaking. You'll also love being just 25-30min away from Cook's Corner and Maine Street, Brunswick, offering a wonderful variety of restaurants and shops, as well as access to RT 1 and I-295 to explore Freeport, Portland, Bath, Boothbay Harbor and more!

Come enjoy all this classic cottage has to offer and make memories for years to come!

The cottage was furnished beautifully - very upbeat and modern. It was very clean, linens had been professionally laundered and sealed in bags. The kitchen was adorable and contained all appliances, utensils, dishes, glassware, and pots and pans to create a great meal. The water does have a sulfur oder, and we didn't realize until checking out - that the owner also supplied a dispenser for hot and cold spring water. Just remember to bring your our water! The staircase is winding and tight, and we don't recommend it for older folks, but for younger people, it's totally fine. We had a great stay, and will happily book the cottage again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at the Burns Cottage. We were in search of a place to stay for a family reunion on Bailey Island and this cottage suited our needs. The kitchen is fully stocked, the living and dining rooms had ample seating for our family and the deck was wonderful for our morning coffee. The upstairs had ample space for our sleeping needs and a small view of the water! I would say the staircase could be a challenge for very young children or people with mobility issues.Overall, the hosts were very accommodating, quick to respond when I had a question and the property was very clean. I would highly recommend a stay at the Burns Cottage!

We stayed in this cottage for a week and loved the easy walk to Lands End and great front porch. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in - loved the electric fireplace on a few chilly nights.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice little place. This one might be good for a family with small children. All beds are located up a tiny, winding stair, may be not appropriate for elders. We were quite comfortable and there is no bad location on Bailey Island. This one didn't have a direct ocean view and there is a property on the same street that the county should investigate for health reasons.

The cottage is lovely, comfortable, fresh and welcoming. Falling asleep to the waves on the rocks is magic. The property is quiet. You come here to step away and relax. It is not a place you come to for a variety of things to do or places to eat. The area is not conducive to walks, running or cycling. The people are very friendly and kind, the beauty of the harbor and the coast are the stars.

The cottage was small and cozy. Bailey Island is gorgeous. The cottage wasn't right on the water, but you could see it and hear it from the porch, and with windows open. I think my only complaint was that having the beds and bathroom on different floors forced us to go up and down the steep spiral stairs (visible in property photos) more than we would like. Management company was very responsive. I would consider staying again for a future short-term visit to Bailey Island.
