About this property

Panoramic Oceanfront Views Of Garrison Cove, Wills Gut And Casco Bay

Experience charming, picturesque Bailey Island, a Maine Casco Bay Coastal Island destination for vacationers from all over the world for over 100 years. Because Bailey Island is now connected to the mainland by the world's only existing Cribstone Bridge, it is no longer necessary to take a ferry to visit. Built in 2013 with 5 large king bedrooms, the Flying Lobster Ocean House has incredible panoramic views in all directions. The back of the House faces the west and is located less than 50 feet from Merriconeag Sound; the front of the house faces the east and is located less than 50 feet from Garrison Cove. Every room has incredible long distance oceanfront views. The view from the front of our property was listed in the 60 Year Anniversary Edition of Downeast Magazine as one of the best views in Maine. The House is surrounded by so much water and ocean scenery, you will feel like you are cruising on a ship. See some of the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the large windows and decks on the East, West, and North sides of the House. Garrison Cove is a working lobster harbor with several lobster boats moored and a working lobster dock in front of the House. Walk 200 yards to famous Cook's Lobster Restaurant and Lobster Pound and eat lobsters at the Restaurant or buy precooked lobsters at the Pound or live ones and cook them at the House. You won't taste fresher or better lobsters anywhere. The lobsters you eat are caught in the waters surrounding the House on the same day by the lobster boats moored directly in front of the House. If you have your own boat, we have a deep water mooring you can use located in Garrison Cove in front of our property. House has many amenities including 60 inch TV and Surround Sound System and gas fireplace in living room, WIFI throughout house, and 32 inch TVs in all 5 Bedrooms, 3 of which have private decks. Central air conditioning, screen porch overlooking Sound, and decks on both side of house and huge raised sun deck on edge of Merriconeag Sound. The views around the House, especially Garrison Cove and the Cribstone Bridge, are some of the most photographed scenes on the Maine Coast and extend to Small Point to the East, High Head to the North, Harpswell Neck to the West and Cape Elizabeth to the Southwest. From the House screen porch and oceanfront decks, see seals swimming in the Sound, lobster men and women setting and pulling traps, and Casco Bay Lines ferry boats, kayaks, skiffs, sailboats, tuna, fishing and lobster boats cruising by just a stones throw from the shore of the property. Walk on the beach on the front of the House adjacent to Garrison Cove or the shoreline on the deepwater oceanfront side finding shells, crabs, mussels, snails, sea glass, driftwood and other ocean treasures.

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Harpswell home! The property was incredibly clean and well fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable week away. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, play games, and relax. The peaceful coastal charm and stunning views made our vacation truly memorable. We would love to come back again and highly recommend this rental to any family looking for a classic Maine getaway!"

Sunrise. Sunset. A visual delight in every direction. On a peninsula, a stone’s throw from a lobster restaurant, lies this wonderful home. Sofas with views. Sofas to have conversations. Tables with views. Lots of living space to enjoy experiencing the Maine coast without leaving home. There are bits of downsides — the bathrooms are only three in number and all across the hall, the “glassware” is cloudy plastic ware, and we encountered a couple of upkeep issues. The upsides way outweigh the downsides. Experiencing the coast of Maine could not be better. Sunrise, sunset, and beautiful views in every direction. Set on a peninsula just a stone’s throw from a lobster restaurant, this wonderful home is an ideal place to experience the Maine coast. There are sofas positioned for enjoying the views, comfortable spaces for conversation, tables overlooking the water, and plenty of room to relax without ever leaving the house.There are a few minor drawbacks: the three bathrooms are all located across the hall from the bedrooms, the “glassware” consists of cloudy plastic cups, and we encountered a couple of maintenance issues.Still, the many positives far outweigh these small inconveniences. It would be difficult to find a better place from which to enjoy the beauty of coastal Maine.

Stunning home in Bailey Harbor

This home is truly 'as advertised '. Our three adult children (and their significant others) gathered here for 7 days, to celebrate my wife's birthday. The home is stunning, the views are remarkable, and our hosts were gracious.

We rented the house to get our family together for a week, six adults, four pre-teens. The house was comfortable and clean with great views of the water. It was easy to come together for meals and gathering, but large enough for people to have time alone. One note: the house is rated for 10 guests, but the dining table has 8 chairs, so we brought 2 folding chairs from home.

Thanks Al for the great 5 star review. That is what we strive for. It was a pleasure to have you and your family as our guests. Glad you all enjoyed the views, the House and appreciated the effort my wife and daughter put into decorating the house. Also glad your adorable granddaughter chose the tower bedroom which is our granddaughter's favorite also. I hope you got your fill of lobster. Hopefully you and your family will stay with us again and you will bring some of those KC ribs you bragged about. Jim & Marijo
