Location: Brooklin, Acadia, Maine, USA (on Flye Point; South of Bangor)

Accommodations:  Cottage, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)

This cottage is on Flye Point with a distant view of Blue Hill Bay, sitting approximately 1700 feet from the water (Herrick Bay).

This 3000 square foot cottage is part new and part old. It has four bedrooms and three baths, a lovely glassed-in porch, and a deck off the master bedroom. The master bathroom features a Jacuzzi tub. The three bedrooms upstairs have a queen-sized, a double and two twin beds.

The living room has heat from a stone fireplace or from a propane heater. A heated 20' by 40' swimming pool and manicured grounds both come with this rental. A walk-out basement allows access to the pool.

Access to ocean frontage is down a well-manicured path and over a wooden bridge.
The "traditional" portion was built around 1900 and came into our family about 1920. We are the Brigham family.

Our Aunt Helen bought it and it was handed down in the family since then. The cottage derives its name from the jib shape of the property with a mast shaped portion stretching to the coast.

We had to take steps to save the cottage in the early nineties. We moved it from failing foundation pylons to a solid foundation that includes a basement, master suite, and a kitchen.

    • What a great place! A little piece of heaven right here on earth. We had a great time and the pool is an added treat - especially for us Floridians who love swimming - Would recommend the Flying Jib to anyone, anytime.

    • Step back in time...."rusticate" at the "Flying Jib", one of the most beautiful spots in Maine. A hidden gem! The Jib has all the amenies of home...but a view that is fantastic. My family has stayed there every summer since 1986.
