About this property

New Cottage Perfect for a Peaceful and Quiet stay on the Ocean with Beach

Newly Constructed 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 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.
Experience living in a newly constructed near net zero energy efficient home.Friendly Cottage is a excellent example of a home built with many innovative technologies including solar hot water panels, geothermal and photovoltaic power 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!

The house was better than we could have imagined and our hosts provided so much more than we’ve ever received. They had extra blankets and pillows, more than one roll of toilet paper, dish soap, and MORE! The views were breathtaking and the best part was the private beach where we were able to hunt for shells and sea glass.

The pictures are beautiful, but they can not accurately capture how beautiful it is here. The view is beyond breathtaking, and the architectural detail of the cottage is wonderful. The gardens are the perfect frame to the ocean view. From check in to out, we were fully taken care of with great communication & suggestions for dining & exploring in the area. The kitchen is fully equipped & every room is spacious & inviting. From beautiful sunrises to relaxing to ocean waves, everything about our stay was wonderful. Thank you so much to our lovely hosts. We will be back very soon!

Mother daughter getaway

Friendly Cottage was beyond amazing for my week long getaway with my 2 daughters. The location and views can’t be beat and the house was perfectly laid out and equipped with everything we needed. We lucked out with incredible weather so found ourselves on the beach almost every morning and evening. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful stay at Friendly Cottage

We had a wonderful week at Friendly Cottage. We arrived to a spectacular view of the water from the living area, master bedroom, and Adirondack chairs proximate to the water. The home is nothing short of spectacular and was very clean and very well stocked for our visit. Everything was as described. We enjoyed exploring the island and surrounding areas and would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

We had 3 generations staying in the Friendly Cottage and all of us loved it. The grandkids loved climbing down the rocks to the little beach in front of the cottage and walking to nearby Cedar Beach to swim. My husband, son, and grandson really enjoyed playing golf at Highland Green Golf Club in Topsham. My daughter-in-law and I were happy just sitting in the red chairs in front of the cottage watching lobstermen pull up their traps and reading our books. We all enjoyed sailing on the Schooner Alert and eating great meals at Cooks Lobster House on the island, The Dolphin in Harpswell, and The Great Impasta in Brunswick. But our best meal was the one in the cottage when my husband cooked lobsters for us! Much less expensive than getting lobster dinners in any of the restaurants. Everything we needed for our private lobster bake was right there in the cottage. A special highlight for my son was taking his family on a tour of Bowdoin College, his alma mater. It was a great family vacation and one we will always treasure.

Our second stay at Laurie's and Eric's amazing property. The home is beautiful, comfortable and perfectly situated on Maine's rocky coastline. The amenities in the home are exactly what a family needs for a vacation stay and Bailey Island is as quaint and picturesque as any place in Maine could possibly be.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved our stay! The cottage was clean and cozy, the views were amazing, and the owners couldn’t have been nicer. It was a hit with the entire family! I’m not sure which we enjoyed more…the beach behind the house (my kids favorite) or walking to the general store for a yummy breakfast and lunch (my parents favorite). Hope to stay again!

Really enjoyed the trip. The location was great and the sun rises in the morning were amazing. The hosts were very accommodating. My only thoughts about this day is that I think the pictures or a little misleading in the view of the ocean from the rental.

Breathtaking

We absolutely loved our stay at the Friendly Cottage! It's a beautiful, peaceful area and one we will be telling others about. Lots of wonderful local restaurants and a little gift shop at the end of the island. A wonderful secluded beach is just down the road. The main bedroom upstairs has a super cozy bed and amazing sunrises to start your day. Thank you for sharing your place with us. We hope to visit again!

Comfy Cottage by the Sea

Laurie and Eric, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bailey Island and at the Friendly Cottage. Perfect location, comfy house. Immediately felt like home to us. About an hour from Portland, 30 minutes from Freeport, 2 hours to Bangor, but plenty to do and see on the island. Great local restaurants, landmarks, and shops. We could sit in the red chairs on the point everyday and it wouldn’t get old. Hope to return someday.

Perfect Vacation

This cottage lives up to and exceeds the expectations set by the stunning photos. It is beautiful, well appointed, super clean, and comfortable. No detail was left undone; there was even a pair a reading glasses on the shelf just in case a guest forgot theirs. Nothing disappoints! We will certainly plan to return very soon for a longer stay.
