Wonderful!

Our extended family had a wonderful time on Bailey Island. The house had plenty of room for all of us even with two rain days. Brett was a pleasure to deal with and was always timely in getting back to us.

A beautiful family getaway!

What an outstanding host and property. We vacation as a family every year, all over the east coast, and this home rates at the top. The bedrooms each had a bathroom-the kitchen was equipped for a chef-the outdoor areas were so beautiful (including awakening each day to the birds!)-and the home was decorated to make you feel at home. The host has a wonderful home and we’re so welcoming. Thank you!

Fabulous Fall Getaway

My family of 5 loved the opportunity to spend 4 nights in this beautiful home. The setting is gorgeous with views galore. The house had everything we needed to keep our 3 kids happy and comfortable. The island and neighboring area was perfect for outdoor activities. We would love to return again.

Comfortable

Great house very comfortable and well appointed. Very roomy for our entire family. Nice to have en suite bathrooms with all the bedrooms. The host was very good with communication. Located on a busy road and the driveway is on a curve which made it a little challenging entering and exiting the property.

A Great Property for Vacation

Our entire group of seven was delighted with the house and location! We cooked most evenings and loved having dinner every night on the expansive porch with beautiful views. The interior is spacious and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The driveway is a little tricky but definitely manageable with the windows down to hear vehicles approaching when you're pulling out. We would absolutely rent again. Thank you Brett and Family for a lovely week with many happy memories!

Beautiful home!

We very much enjoyed our stay on Bailey Island. Slept with open windows and sea breezes which is very different than living in Florida. Ate as much lobster as we could! House had all the amenities you could ask for. Highly recommend!

July on Bailey Island

My family had a great time in this beautiful house. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with everything you could need as a chef. The setup on the deck was perfect for cooking lobsters and having an outdoor dinner. Each bedroom had its own air conditioning which was wonderful for each guest. The kids were so excited about watching the fireworks on the rooftop deck which did not disappoint!! The house is in walking distance to some local restaurants and strolls on the cribstone bridge. Lovely stay on Bailey Island.

Best gathering spot

This house is simply beautiful. All the fun nautical decor and tasteful furnishings were enjoyed by everyone. Everyone had their own space yet, there were many areas to allow a large group to gather. The long outdoor table was full every night for dinner. Close to the beach and scenic hikes. Perfect for our grandchildren to enjoy each other in the large playroom downstairs. Awesome vacation, thank you!

Great getaway!

Loved the house! Plenty of bedrooms and multiple living areas for all ages. Our 4 year old grandson loved the toys and games. The kitchen had everything we could ask for and more. The only downside was the location on the main road onto Bailey Island. We were hesitant to go for walks from there (we did see others doing it) but could easily drive to find hiking areas and beaches. Our family really enjoyed the trip!

A-Maine-ziing!

Just as the description states, this house and views are amazing, as our niece stated, it was A-Maine-zing! Our family is from Bath and had always wanted to be back in the area for the 4th of July and this house was the perfect spot for our party of 7 to re-visit old memories and make fantastic new ones. The house is not very old, has all modern amenities, but has the feel of "old Maine" which is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Brett and family for sharing your beautiful home on VRBO.

Great place for family reunion

We were celebrating my parent's 70th wedding anniversary. Each bedroom had its own bathroom with luxurious towels and plenty of privacy. Kitchen was magnificently stocked, including wonderful welcome goodies. I appreciated outdoor grill setup for cooking lobsters and clams without having the smell linger in the house. Views from the upper deck were great. We had so much fun on the main floor together that we never really got to use the video system in the basement. I would definitely rent this property again.

A dream stay on Bailey Island

8 parents/grandparents and 5 children age 7 and below spent a grand 7 days at the Capt. Lawrence Johnson house. Owned by Capt. Johnson’s grandchildren, this iconic house of a historic fixture of Bailey Island lobstering made a perfect harbor for “cousin chaos” with lots of happy children and plenty of space for many moms and dads. Private space, very quiet, close to the Cribstone Bridge and a short drive to all the local sights. It was ideal for a large family that likes to cook. A perfect movie room for kids. Lots of baths for us all. And a porch view of stunning sunsets that made the stay all the more perfect.

Great week!

This rental was very spacious and functioned well for our family with young adults through grandparents. The locations challenge is with the proximity and angle on the main road. Traffic goes by quickly and entering and exiting is an issue. The one refrigerator was a challenge for the number we had. A cheap refrigerator for the basement would be a great help. It would be great to clear some of the small trees that have grown up in the front to get the view back a little better. Overall a great rental !!!

Great family gathering spot

This lovely home on Bailey Island served as a wonderful locale for our family gathering. Spacious deck with outdoor dining area, as well as several common areas inside. The upper deck was an added plus with day and evening views across the harbor. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and private. The main floor study/library’s sleep sofa may work for someone of a younger age,but was not comfortable for our guest. Several minor issues need attention, which the owner indicated would be worked on the following week. Both the owner and his personable assistant were very responsive during our stay. Parking and egress were a bit of a challenge, but one we adjusted to, and a backup parking area was available to us if we had needed it. The home has a very interesting family history, which adds to its charm. I could have easily stayed another week just to enjoy the views, the books, and art and historical items on the walls, etc.

Well-Appointed

Wonderful home with terrific views in a great location! As previous reviewers have noted, the kitchen has everything (and more!) one needs for cooking and entertaining while on vacation. We cooked most nights, including a couple nights of fresh lobster from the cove less than a mile away. Out of the water and I to the pot in less than an hour! Fresh, tasty, delicious! The deck is wonderful and our dog loved sitting out there and watching nature. The beds were comfortable, and there are cabinets full of dvds and puzzles and games. On two rainy days, it wasn’t a problem to stay indoors. It was a pleasure to kick back and relax! The owner, Brett, was very responsive when the WiFi went down one day or when we planned to cook 100 lbs of lobster and asked about an outdoor heating element. He came and set it up right away. Btw, in the cabinet is everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, one needs for preparing and eating lobster. Brett is also a wealth of k owl edge for local anything. Also, don’t forget to visit his storefront - Main Street Design Co - in nearby Bath. Very special and quality home interior goods.

Beautiful Atmosphere

What a great location. A little tricky getting out of driveway but we managed. Loved the space. Every bedroom had its own bathroom which was so nice. Very accessible to lots of things. We could walk to a cute restaurant as well as the Salt Cod Cafe which had amazing baked goods. Short distance to hiking spots as well. Looking forward to going back.
