We loved this house and the peaceful, friendly community on Bailey Island. We didn't even mind the bad weather!

This is the place to be to unwind and relax! We enjoyed every minute of our stay!!

The pictures of this magical home don’t do it justice. It’s one of the most beautiful vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The views of the sweet little cove are almost 360. It’s well appointed, clean and the owners are communicative and kind.

Beautiful location and home

The house is an awesome place for our first trip to Maine. We didn’t want to go to a big city and this place fit our wants. Our biggest disappointments were not having much lobster boat activity (I guess it wasn’t lobster season?) and no seals! The house has a rocky coast on one side and more beach on the other. We loved sitting at the window and watching boating activity. It was colder when we were there so we didn’t participate in the sailboat that was docked at the restaurant in front of the house. Maybe next time we will come later I. The summer. The 2 local restaurants were very good and it was enjoyable to be able to walk to dinner. Our 3 1/2 yr old loved the “tower” room! There was a glitch at check in but it was handled promptly and we had no further issues. Would highly recommend this property as long as you are wanting to stay on the island mostly. It’s a long way back to town so we took day trips and stayed in at night. We loved staying here!

Great property exactly as advertised. Hosts were very responsive to any questions. House and area were absolutely great

We came from Michigan on a bucket list trip. I have stage 4 cancer and have been traveling all year. This house and location were the most beautiful place we have been to this year. The views from anywhere inside were breathless. We purchased lobster to cook in, the house was well stocked with all the cookware. Beds were comfy, family room was cozy. I have already shared the link to friends. Must stay location!

The house is beautiful in a picturesque setting. There were 7 adults and we were never crowded with enough privacy when we needed it and comfortable gathering areas. We did buy a 12 cup coffee maker ( left it) as the house only had a Keurig . Wonderfully decorated, great linens, well appointed kitchen (except for coffee pot), lots of hot water for showers, walking distance to a tasty restaurant—splendid vacation spot!

Great location, great home, and great views! House was very well-stocked with everything we needed for our 10-person friend group.

great house and great location. for a large home it is very cozy. my third time there and we will return.

This property was more than we ever imagined! The location is to die for and the home was spotless. The beds were so comfortable and there was more than enough space for the 8 of us. The owners were very attentive and graciously answered any questions we had. I can’t wait to go back and experience more of what coastal Maine has to offer. This was a 10 out of 10 trip in my opinion!

We haven’t had a chance to stay at this property yet due to an unexpected medical event, but we are looking forward to our stay next Summer. Jim and Marijo have been great to work with and very understanding. We can’t wait for next Summer!

Four siblings and their spouses gathered here from all over the US. The two bedrooms on the main floor were great for people not wanting to do steps. Two more bedrooms on the second floor with two bathrooms worked out great for spacing. The fifth bedroom on the third floor was worth the climb. The 360 degree view was stunning! The setting is nostalgic and delightful. We enjoyed having two restaurants just down the street, so we could walk to lunch or dinner. The rocky shoreline was so fun to explore. Watching the ships sail by was endlessly entertaining. I would definitely stay here again. Jim was very helpful solving a tv issue.

There were 6 of us (3 couples)...combined and separately, we have travelled all over the country/world. Each of us has stayed in 30+ home rentals over the years...this place was easily in each of our Top 3. The sheer beauty of the location with water views all around gives it a leg up on most places. The house itself is large (5 bedrooms) yet very charming with a lot of little places, inside and outside...to relax, enjoy a book or just gaze at the water. Even the view from most bedrooms is A+ and the beds were very comfy. This rental gets 11 stars out of 10!!!! Also, Bailey Island is a MUST SEE. Be sure to go to the the General Store for a fresh lobster roll (best we had all trip). Also, take the 3 min walk (so convenient) to Cook's Lobster and order the Lobster Saute...oh my! Drive down to Lands End for a beautiful viewing spot and nice gift shop. About an hour drive away is Booth Bay Harbor (cute town) and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens..which we def recommend. Again, we loved everything about this rental and Bailey Island (and Maine!!!). Thanks Jim and Marijo for sharing your absolutely beautiful place. We hope to be back again one day.

The house couldn't be more perfect! All 5 bedrooms have a great view of the waters off Bailey Island... it's a working fishing village, so lots of lobster boats and fishing going on. There is a restaurant within walking distance with fresh, delicious seafood. We traveled up and down coastal Maine so the house was positioned perfectly for us to travel up and down the coast. Waking up to have coffee on the patios/balconies overlooking the water was soul-soothing. I wish we could've stayed longer and would definitely stay here again.

The views are terrific from every room.. The activities surrounding the house like the working lobster and fishing boats make just looking out the windows so much fun and the outside sitting gives you views of porpoises and seals. Theirs are many local trails to hike and close by kayaks to rent. The house is well appointed and our family enjoyed cooking in the kitchen together when we didn’t go out to close by restaurants. We had a wonderful time….

This home was perfect for our 3 family week away. The quick access to beach, restaurants and hikes was amazing. Views from the home were stunning!

The owner was very responsive to issues.

This house has a very open floor plan and a wonderful deck overlooking the water. It was very relaxing.

Beautiful house in a postcard setting. Completely surrounded by water in quaint Bailey Island. The rooms have amazing views. Absolutely love the outdoor deck. This house and location will not disappoint.

Our group had a wonderful time during our stay at the Flying Lobster. The house was lovely and comfortable. It is well situated to either walk around the island or explore further away by car. We also spent plenty of time sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the deck enjoying the ocean breezes. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had during our stay.

We had spectacular time and the house was everything we had hoped it would be. We rode bikes, and ran, and soaked in everything this quant little island has to offer. Close enough to make day trips to some of the more “touristy” destinations, but far enough away to enjoy the solitude we were looking forward to. The house was well equipped to meet all our needs and the owners have clearly worked hard to ensure guests are comfortable during their stay. This was our first trip to Maine and this experience made us definitely want to return.

Seriously, this is the house! I'LL refund your money if you don't love it. We spent hours outside on the chairs just watching boats go by. Can't want to visit again.

The location of the house is incredible! The views and proximity to the ocean were amazing. We spent most mornings with our coffee on the deck over looking the ocean. We were a group of 8 including two teenagers, two 70+, and a ten year old. There is ample room to spread out and unpack. We stayed for 6 nights. Each room has beautiful views and king size beds so everyone was happy. Cooks Restaurant is close enough that even my 80 year old father didn't mind walking to dinner multiple nights. We feel very lucky to have stayed at the Flying Lobster and would happily stay there again! We highly recommend the food at BIGS and Cook's. The family that runs the Schooner Alert sailing tours is super friendly and we can't recommend a sail with them enough. This house will make you fall in love with Maine.

Everything is perfect about the home - the decor, amenities and location. We loved every second we stayed here and can’t wait to book the home again.

The location of this beautiful house can't be beat! Every room has big windows with gorgeous views The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of room for 9 adults and we really enjoyed the deck by the water and walking about this quaint and pretty island. My only suggestion would be to have beach chairs available.

Hoping to return !

Great house -- looks like online photos! Great views -- better than online photos! Nice location -- we were able to visit small towns near Bailey Island, as well as Portland. We recommend!
