Location: Bailey Island, Portland & Casco Bay, Maine, USA (near Brunswick and Bath, Portland is about an hour away)
Accommodations: Cottage, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Built in the 19th century by a fisherman, this charming home overlooks one of the most photographed coves in Maine. In the heart of a small town, you can:
* Watch the lobster boats coming and going all day long
* Have cocktails on the deck overlooking Mackerel cove, Lowell cove and Merriconeag Sound while the sunset casts its glow on the water
* Enjoy a chowder supper at the village church down the street
* Shop for local art at the gallery across the street
* Walk down to the dock to pick your own lobsters
* Walk to the ocean and watch the crashing surf
* Pick blueberries, raspberries or rhubarb from your own backyard
* Cut flowers from the gardens frequently painted by local artists
The house is cozy but free-flowing, so you will never get cabin fever, but Brunswick and Bath are nearby should you develop a yen for "city life," and Freeport - with all its discount shops- is only a half hour away.
