Quiet location with nice view of the bay. Property was very clean, excellent beds, well equipped kitchen. Very well maintained, although we had a minor problem that we sent a text message about,and the response was virtually immediate, like 10 minutes we got a reply and worked a resolution. Definitely in our top tier of rental ptoperty experience.
Ship sailed up bay in front of rental in evening. Fired "cannon salute to sunset" in front of house. First time was a surprise.

Great spot

Lovely cottage on a hill with excellent balcony/deck big enough for hanging out and eating. Good walking area, orr’s and Bailey islands are very special, as Maine as it gets. Lots of seasonal restaurants, etc (not so much on Mondays), close enough to Brunswick if you really need stuff that just can’t wait. The cottage was well equipped and comfy.

West Shore house

We enjoyed our time very much and loved the views from the different decks. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We liked the open floor plan on the main floor. The small bathroom in the second bedroom was a plus.

Perfect, once we found it!

Hard to find; No address number displayed on the house. The steep hill in front makes walking and parking difficult. Inside, it was very comfortable, perfect space for 2 couples.

Bailey Island

The house was great. Location excellent. Only thing was the beds in one bedroom did not have sheets on the two beds, we had to search around to find sheets and make them up ourselves, the master bathroom wasn’t very clean, tooth brush holder had old dried paste from previous use and one drawer had powder spilled in it.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2024
We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Strange about the sheets as when it was checked after the cleaning we have photos of the beds made so I'll have to see if the owner went in or something. I will let the cleaners know about the toothpaste cup. Unfortunately, they do not do inside the drawers each time.

Great place. More stairs than would have like because 3 of us has had knee replacement. Loved the view. Beds were comfortable. Tv had very few channels to watch. House was very clean.

Great get away!

What a perfect property! Lots of deck space overlooking the water with tons of room inside. Washer and dryer a major plus and full kitchen was nice! Walking distance to small store and cafe that both served great food too. Easy drive into Portland or North to Booth Bay. Owners were very responsive and great at communication. There were only two of us but you could easily have 6 with plenty of room to spare. Highly recommend!
