Little Harbor - Crashing surf, sunrise views from this perfect Maine getaway.
Little Harbor – A True Maine Escape
Nestled on the pristine shores of Bailey Island, this cozy yet rustic oceanfront cottage offers the ultimate Maine experience. Surrounded by bold surf and spectacular views from every window, the cottage overlooks what was once called "the most spectacular view in North America."
To the east and south, you’ll find sweeping open ocean vistas of Casco Bay, while to the west, the charm of Little Harbor unfolds and Ragged Island is just beyond the horizon. Whether you're dining inside, sunbathing on the spacious deck, or simply relaxing as the waves crash on the rocks below, the serene surroundings promise a deeply restful retreat.
The cottage comfortably sleeps four, with close proximity to scenic walking trails and public beaches. It’s just 25 minutes from the Maine State Music Theatre at Bowdoin College, local art galleries, and the Mere Creek Golf Club. For adventure seekers, there are charter fishing trips, kayak rentals, whale watching, and Casco Bay tours nearby.
Whether you choose to unwind on the deck or explore the beauty of the area, you’ll be captivated by the rolling waves, soothing surf, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. For those who love Maine, or those experiencing it for the first time, this cottage offers a truly unforgettable escape.
Come experience the magic of the "rockbound coast of Maine" – it doesn’t get any better than this.
