About this house rental
Friendly Cottage on Oceanside, Bailey Island is now available for your seaside vacation, no matter the season. This well-insulated cottage, heated and cooled by solar and geothermal systems, is appealing during the less - crowded brisk Maine springs, the lazy ocean-breezed days of summer, the colorful crisp days of fall, or the quiet peaceful days of winter.
Friendly cottage is on the east side of the island with an unhindered view of Casco Bay and spectacular sunrises, and sits on a secluded beach at the dead end of a quiet neighborhood.
Yet, the cottage is in walking distance of the local general store, post office, a non-denominational church, several local eateries including the famous Cook's Lobster House as well as Mackerel Cove, the hub of the fishing and boating community. Entertaining and socializing has a comfortable flow in this 3 bedroom-2 bathroom home - perfect for family get-togethers, reunions, special events or simply a nest to enjoy the Maine experience. The nearest shopping centers are in Brunswick (13 miles away and a 30 minute drive). Stopping at a grocery store before you come to Bailey Island might be more convenient, although there is a general store with limited supplies.
Friendly Cottage is an excellent example of a home built with many innovative technologies including solar hot water panels and geothermal, just to name a few. If you are considering building an energy efficient home with all or some of these technologies, come for a stay!

Great house, off the beaten path, but so quiet and such a great view with amazing space. The Fish Net Cafe was great as was the Lands End Gift Shop. We love the area and had an amazing stay!! Eric was a terrific host, recommend this beautiful place.

If I could only vacation one place for the rest of my life it would be here. This was our first family vacation with our 2 and 4 year old and it really set the bar high. The drive to explore Portland, Freeport, Brunswick, and Boothbay Harbor were easy and worth the trip, but our favorite days were spent exploring Bailey Island. The Giants Stairs were our favorite! Everyone in the Smith family was amazing and incredibly helpful with suggestions of where to go and what to do. The house and amenities were as described and beyond. There really was everything you could possibly need and it was very family friendly. The towels for the house and the beach were great. The toys and games were all together. The house is beautiful and inviting with unbelievable views. Everyone we encountered going for walks, going out to eat, stopping at the local stores were so kind and friendly. The pride they take in their home and cottage is evident and we hope to be back!

My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this beautiful spot. The best feature was the amazing ocean view from the living room and primary bedroom. Just a short walk from the door and across the lawn takes you to the water's edge and your comfy Adirondack chairs to take it all in. The cottage was clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped if you are looking to make your own meals. There were also plenty of board games and some DVDs. Be aware that the few restaurants in the immediate area are closed Monday/Tuesday, at least at the time we were there (late May). Brunswick and Bath are around 30 minutes drive for more dining options. Our friendly hosts Eric and Laurie were always available if we needed anything, but we didn't since everything was great! Wish we could have stayed longer!
