Amazing Views, and Comfortable Spaces in this Well Appointed Island Home
The well-appointed Captain Lawrence E. Johnson House is available for weekly rentals during the summer season and two-night-minimum stays in the off-season. The house is also available year-round for retreats, reunions, and special events.
Operated as Maine Island Getaway, with additional photos, seasonal notes, and property details available at maineislandgetaway.com, this luxury island home on Bailey Island offers beautiful water views from nearly every room, framed by working harbors and the timeless calm of island life. While the house is not directly on the shoreline, it sits in a village-like setting with spacious private decks and yards, along with nearby water access for swimming and boat launching.
The home features four luxury bedrooms with flexible accommodations, each with an en-suite bathroom, a modern professional kitchen, generous dining and comfortable living spaces, and a fully equipped media room. Guests enjoy high-speed fiber-optic internet—fast, reliable, and ideal for remote work or streaming, as well as energy-efficient central heating and air conditioning in all bedrooms.
Furnished with art and antiques that quietly set the tone of a true captain’s home, the house is authentic, functional, and quietly refined—every detail considered, every choice rooted in place.
Enjoy all that Bailey Island and neighboring Orr's Island have to offer: exceptionally fresh lobster, an easy walk to secluded Cedar Beach, hikes to the dramatic Giant’s Stairs, kayak rentals just over the Cribstone Bridge at H2O Outfitters, or fishing and sailing charters with experienced local skippers.
The house is fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped, ready for your enjoyment from the moment you arrive.
