About this cottage rental
Welcome to Nautical Nest!
One of three charming sister cottages on Bailey Island, each offering unforgettable sunsets and the true essence of Maine's coast.
Step into your own little slice of paradise at Nautical Nest, a cozy and beautifully decorated cottage perched perfectly for taking in stunning sunset views over Harpswell Sound and, on clear evenings, all the way to Mount Washington. Part of a beloved trio of sister properties, this cottage stands out for its elegance, warmth, and thoughtful craftsmanship, offering everything you need for a peaceful island escape.
Inside, you'll find a newly updated kitchen that's both stylish and functional. Outfitted with modern appliances, pristine cabinetry, and breathtaking blue quartz countertops, it's the perfect space to prepare fresh seafood or enjoy a relaxed breakfast before starting your day. The entire cottage features cathedral ceilings, giving it an airy, open feel that enhances the natural light and ocean views.
The living and dining area is comfortably designed with coastal charm and convenience in mind. A flat-screen TV and a gas fireplace make this the perfect spot to unwind after a day outdoors, whether you're watching the tide roll in or cozying up on a cool Maine evening. The dining table sits beside large windows that frame some of the island's best sunsets, painting the sky each evening in brilliant oranges and pinks.
The main floor bedroom, tucked just off the living space, features a full-size bed and a private entrance to the home's full bathroom. This stand-up shower bath can also be accessed from the main living area, offering ease and flexibility.
Need room for more guests? The loft area includes a comfortable futon, perfect for friends or family who want to share your peaceful retreat.
Outside, Nautical Nest truly shines. Guests enjoy a shared dock, a pebbly beach ideal for wading or launching kayaks, and quiet sitting areas that invite you to slow down and savor the fresh, salty air. Spread out a blanket on the lawn for a picnic, take an afternoon nap in the hammock, or wander the shoreline collecting sea glass as the sun dips toward the horizon.
With on-site laundry, warm coastal décor, and a location that blends serenity with iconic Maine beauty, Nautical Nest offers everything you need for the perfect island getaway.
Come experience the magic of Bailey Island, where sunsets linger, the ocean breeze restores, and Nautical Nest feels like home the moment you arrive.
Please Note:
This property rents Saturday–Saturday in summer. The calendar will show available check-in/check-out days; the week in between will be grayed out.
The gas fireplace is available for renter use.

We really enjoyed the place! It's very cute and in an awesome location. We loved watching the boaters go out while we ate breakfast. The one night we could see a sunset, it was beautiful!! There were a few downsides, but it wasn't enough to forego a 5-star review. Nothing was worth a call to the management company. They were just little inconveniences. The main door to the bathroom would not shut completely. The dishwasher was not seated properly, so it took some maneuvering to get it to close in order to run. There were not many drawers in which to place our belongings while we stayed. Overall, we would come back many times to stay in this rental. We loved walking the trails and just relaxing in this awesome getaway! Thanks for helping us have a great vacation!!

Beautiful cottage overlooking Mackerel cove on Bailey Island. Complete with gorgeous sunsets and relaxing sounds of waves hitting the shore. Convenient location to visiting nearby Brunswick and Bath downtowns. Many walking trails to choose from as well! Weather was absolutely spectacular which only enhanced our stay!!

We spent a wonderful week at the Nautical Nest on Bailey Island. The cozy cottage was clean, well equipped with everything needed, and the perfect setting for relaxing, hiking and enjoying the magnificent views. Hope to return again in the future!

Overall ,
Fantastic stay. Loved the location, the water proximity, seeing the lobster boats in front of us, the sunset , the calmness , etc…
And the kindness of owner/manager who gave us two lobsters to enjoy!
One thing though - mattress has reached its end of life!
We could be back !
Cheers
