Turn-of-the-Century Classic Maine Cottage with Sweeping Southeasterly Ocean Views

Welcome to Spindrift!

This wonderful Turn-of-the-Century New England-style cottage sits on the water's edge at the mouth of Little Harbor. With sweeping southeasterly views you can listen to the waves clapping against the ledges that are just a stone's throw away from the side deck. Enjoy the spacious sun porch to bring the outdoors in, complete with seating and a dining table. Enter in through the back you will notice a charming laundry room with a large washer and dryer for your convenience. Making your way down the hallway to your right is a quaint little sitting room complete with chairs and a TV. Moving right along to the left you will find a small but very well equipped kitchen complete with table and chairs. As you work your way to the end of the hallway you will see the large, bright and beautiful living area. This room allows you to enjoy 180 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean. Moving to the right of the living area you make your way up the stairs. There you will find four bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Spoil yourself with large bedrooms. One is equipped with a king size bed, one with a queen, one with a full, and the last with two twin beds. The two front bedrooms (king and queen) have outstanding ocean views that you won't even have to get out of bed to see. Come take a step back in time and stay at this quintessential cottage!

Rustic but really nice. Ocean views and outside deck are amazing. Love being able to open the windows for an ocean breeze and listen to the waves. We fully enjoyed the house and our stay.

Outstanding! Traditional Maine camp with stunning views. Roomy and comfortable. We explored the peninsula: hiking, beaches, and restaurants. We walked on the Giant Stairs trail every day. Fabulous!

Great New England cottage for graduation

Classic Maine Oceanfront Cottage

We loved our stay here and hope to return again next summer. Beautiful comfortable sunroom to enjoy meals, reading, and watching the changing surf. Very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Lots of sleeping rooms for guests. Great family retreat. Hiking trails close by.

The grey shingled cottage

The location was spectacular. The house has so much potential but needs a little TLC. Roof leaked in hard rain bathroom wall upstairs at the tub needs replaced and floor in king bedroom needs some leveling. My favorite spot was the enclosed porch. Spent a lot of time there because of the wonderful view.

Authentic Coastal Maine

Older house with a beautiful oceanfront view tucked into an accessible but quiet setting that provided the downtime I needed from this vacation. The house did not provide much privacy, with sound easily traveling through walls, and an interior update would have added to its attractiveness. The view was fantastic but actual access to the water was limited or impossible depending upon one's physical condition due to the steep rocky incline of the bluff. The week provided a relaxed sampling of the way life should be and Bailey Island itself is an easy drive from the Boston area.

We liked: Right on the ocean, the nice sunroom, off street parking, 30-second walk to Driftwood Inn for breakfast. We didn’t like: couldn't take a shower on the first night after a long road trip because no shampoo or shower soap was provided. 98% of all hotels and vacation rentals provide these so it's a standard guest expectation. Could've been addressed by a reminder in the listing for guests to bring their own. Next, I bumped my head badly on the top of the entranceway, which is only 64 inches high in contrast to the standard residential door height of 80 inches. Need a warning sign reminding guests of “Low clearance” when entering, and/or striped safety tape across the head jamb. Next, the electric tea kettle in the kitchen had water in it along with sediment and waterlogged crackers. Another tea kettle looked corroded so I ended up using a saucepan to heat my water. The stovetop had standing water on it. Next, the upstairs bathroom ceiling leaked one night from rain, a known issue. Next, half the flashlights in the event of a power outage didn’t work and the most accessible one had a stained lens as if the batteries had leaked. Next, the listing says the unit has heating but it's a propane unit that mostly just heats the living room. We stayed in October and it was chilly some days. In sum, we experienced multiple issues. A turn-of-the-century cottage is OK but the owner and property management need to address these issues especially safety ones; some are easy fixes.
