We very much enjoyed our stay on Bailey Island. We loved sitting on the deck with coffee in the mornings while watching boats pass back and forth. We ate at the local restaurants but also frequented Glen's Lobsters and cooked dinners in the cottage. Thank you Catsy and Tom for your kindness.

First I would like to say this small community is a great place to vacation! Thumbs way up to the Fish Net Cafe! Now the inn, wow we were so impressed at this place from the moment we arrived if was special! The owner meet us out front because we arrived very late I thought that was very kind! The cabin itself on first impressions was so clean and cozy and cute! Everything was in it's place. Check-in was smooth the stay was quiet and serene. The views were fantastic! Small fishing community so there were fishing boats on the water. There were also sail boats which made for a peaceful evening on the deck. If I could make one small suggestion that would be for the owners to put a memory foam mattress pad on the bed because it was I little firm for our taste that way the visitors could remove it if they prefer firm. Other than that the stay was just wonderful! Check out was painless. Overall I stayed was wonderful peaceful restful when we had a great time in the community!

We had a wonderful time at Catsy and Tom’s cottage - so much so that we stayed an extra two nights! The cottage is on the property where they live, and it’s attached to but separate from their home. It felt very private. The deck is very roomy and there is a beautiful sweeping view down the hill to the water. The cottage was impeccably clean, beautifully furnished and decorated with excellent attention to detail. The bed was super comfortable with high quality bedding. It has a ROKU TV which took a little getting used to but it wasn’t difficult. You can tell they really cared about their guests enjoying their stay. They added extra details you don’t always have at other properties such as beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, fresh flowers, and the kitchen was filled with high quality dishes and silverware, coffee, tea, seasonings, napkins, food wrap and storage containers - everything you could think of and more!The cottage was also a good choice for us as my husband has balance issues and uses a walker. We were able to park right in front of the door, everything is on one level and there is an attached safety bar in the bathtub/shower area. This all helped him to have a more enjoyable stay! We highly recommend this charming and beautiful cottage for your Bailey Island adventure!
