About this property

Panoramic Oceanfront Views Of Garrison Cove, Wills Gut And Casco Bay

Experience charming, picturesque Bailey Island, a Maine Casco Bay Coastal Island destination for vacationers from all over the world for over 100 years. Because Bailey Island is now connected to the mainland by the world's only existing Cribstone Bridge, it is no longer necessary to take a ferry to visit. Built in 2013 with 5 large king bedrooms, the Flying Lobster Ocean House has incredible panoramic views in all directions. The back of the House faces the west and is located less than 50 feet from Merriconeag Sound; the front of the house faces the east and is located less than 50 feet from Garrison Cove. Every room has incredible long distance oceanfront views. The view from the front of our property was listed in the 60 Year Anniversary Edition of Downeast Magazine as one of the best views in Maine. The House is surrounded by so much water and ocean scenery, you will feel like you are cruising on a ship. See some of the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the large windows and decks on the East, West, and North sides of the House. Garrison Cove is a working lobster harbor with several lobster boats moored and a working lobster dock in front of the House. Walk 200 yards to famous Cook's Lobster Restaurant and Lobster Pound and eat lobsters at the Restaurant or buy precooked lobsters at the Pound or live ones and cook them at the House. You won't taste fresher or better lobsters anywhere. The lobsters you eat are caught in the waters surrounding the House on the same day by the lobster boats moored directly in front of the House. If you have your own boat, we have a deep water mooring you can use located in Garrison Cove in front of our property. House has many amenities including 60 inch TV and Surround Sound System and gas fireplace in living room, WIFI throughout house, and 32 inch TVs in all 5 Bedrooms, 3 of which have private decks. Central air conditioning, screen porch overlooking Sound, and decks on both side of house and huge raised sun deck on edge of Merriconeag Sound. The views around the House, especially Garrison Cove and the Cribstone Bridge, are some of the most photographed scenes on the Maine Coast and extend to Small Point to the East, High Head to the North, Harpswell Neck to the West and Cape Elizabeth to the Southwest. From the House screen porch and oceanfront decks, see seals swimming in the Sound, lobster men and women setting and pulling traps, and Casco Bay Lines ferry boats, kayaks, skiffs, sailboats, tuna, fishing and lobster boats cruising by just a stones throw from the shore of the property. Walk on the beach on the front of the House adjacent to Garrison Cove or the shoreline on the deepwater oceanfront side finding shells, crabs, mussels, snails, sea glass, driftwood and other ocean treasures.

Lobster House/ spider house

The location was beautiful and accurate. However, first of all, the cleaning crew left Starbucks drinks in the fridge. There was exactly 1 towel per person and 1 hand towel per bathroom. And with 9 people in the house the hand towels were constantly soaked. The washer and dryer was dirty and the dryer lint collector was more than full upon arrival. The floors were vacuumed but left your socks black at days end. The vacuum, upon arrival, was plugged with dirt and hair that we had to remove for the vacuum to work. The back door would not shut properly upon arrival and they are now charging us 1000 for a rusted door that was old and non functioning. Everyone would wake in the morning with new bug bites. Upon departure we had to remove the sheets and found spiders in the beds! We also had to clean the house, remove garbage, clean dishes and put away before departure. The house looked better when leaving than arriving. We would not repeat a stay if we were to return to Bailey Island.

A rare gem

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.

Even better than the photos

My jaw dropped when I drove up to the Flying Lobster House on Bailey Island. It is magnificent - literally surrounded by water on all sides. The pictures on Vrbo don't do it justice. We had a wonderful week and I was sad to say goodbye to those incredible ocean views.

Great three days

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….

Perfection

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!

Picturesque Maine

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.
