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.

Wonderful views all around
We were a family of 6 adults traveling from GA, VA, UT & NY to vacation at this lovely home on the water. We loved having the convenience of Cook’s Restaurant and Sundrenched restaurant so close by. We bought our lobsters and fresh seafood from Gurnet Trading Company which was great. Unfortunately we couldn’t really use the screened porch because the furniture was just way too large for the small room. We couldn’t get around the table because of the large chairs with arms. The dining room chairs are very heavy also but not really a deterrent. The location of this house is fantastic …breathtaking views all around. The host was very quick to respond when we had an issue with the pump alarm going off. We loved having the decks and especially the seating area by the water. We never used a TV while we were there because we were just enjoying our time at this lovely house. It’s about a 25 - 30 minute drive to Brunswick so we did most of our grocery shopping on our way to the house. Although the description said toilet paper, paper towels, etc. were provided, we found that we had to shop for more shortly after we arrived. And there was only one garbage bag. These are minor things we just wanted renters to be aware of.

Even better than the photos
My jaw dropped when I drove up to the Flying Lobster House on Bailey Island. It is magnificent - literally surrounded by water on all sides. The pictures on Vrbo don't do it justice. We had a wonderful week and I was sad to say goodbye to those incredible ocean views.

Simply amazing and better than pictured. Everything you need for the trip within a 20 min drive or even within walking distance. We’ve been to Maine many times, and there’s nothing like this place and this island. Sincerely hope to return. Hosts responded to any questions we had within minutes. Thanks so much.

A rare gem
The pictures of this magical home don’t do it justice. It’s one of the most beautiful vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The views of the sweet little cove are almost 360. It’s well appointed, clean and the owners are communicative and kind.

First trip to Maine
The house is an awesome place for our first trip to Maine. We didn’t want to go to a big city and this place fit our wants. Our biggest disappointments were not having much lobster boat activity (I guess it wasn’t lobster season?) and no seals! The house has a rocky coast on one side and more beach on the other. We loved sitting at the window and watching boating activity. It was colder when we were there so we didn’t participate in the sailboat that was docked at the restaurant in front of the house. Maybe next time we will come later I. The summer. The 2 local restaurants were very good and it was enjoyable to be able to walk to dinner. Our 3 1/2 yr old loved the “tower” room! There was a glitch at check in but it was handled promptly and we had no further issues. Would highly recommend this property as long as you are wanting to stay on the island mostly. It’s a long way back to town so we took day trips and stayed in at night. We loved staying here!

Bucket List location
We came from Michigan on a bucket list trip. I have stage 4 cancer and have been traveling all year. This house and location were the most beautiful place we have been to this year. The views from anywhere inside were breathless. We purchased lobster to cook in, the house was well stocked with all the cookware. Beds were comfy, family room was cozy. I have already shared the link to friends. Must stay location!

The house is beautiful in a picturesque setting. There were 7 adults and we were never crowded with enough privacy when we needed it and comfortable gathering areas. We did buy a 12 cup coffee maker ( left it) as the house only had a Keurig . Wonderfully decorated, great linens, well appointed kitchen (except for coffee pot), lots of hot water for showers, walking distance to a tasty restaurant—splendid vacation spot!

This property was more than we ever imagined! The location is to die for and the home was spotless. The beds were so comfortable and there was more than enough space for the 8 of us. The owners were very attentive and graciously answered any questions we had. I can’t wait to go back and experience more of what coastal Maine has to offer. This was a 10 out of 10 trip in my opinion!

Magical house in a magical setting
Four siblings and their spouses gathered here from all over the US. The two bedrooms on the main floor were great for people not wanting to do steps. Two more bedrooms on the second floor with two bathrooms worked out great for spacing. The fifth bedroom on the third floor was worth the climb. The 360 degree view was stunning! The setting is nostalgic and delightful. We enjoyed having two restaurants just down the street, so we could walk to lunch or dinner. The rocky shoreline was so fun to explore. Watching the ships sail by was endlessly entertaining. I would definitely stay here again. Jim was very helpful solving a tv issue.
