Charming Condo with Beautiful Views and Perfect Location!
Highly recommend! We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! It was beautifully styled, with lots of charming touches that made it feel like a cozy home away from home. We were provided with plenty of towels, which was a nice bonus, and the deck and balcony offered stunning views at any time of day—truly a highlight of our stay. The location was ideal: there were multiple great places to eat nearby, offering a variety of dining options, but the area itself was peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxation. There were also plenty of activities to enjoy, but we never felt overwhelmed by crowds or noise. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Their attention to detail and care really stood out. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this condo to any couple looking to experience the serenity and beauty of the area.

Great location and very clean
Great place. Clean as a whistle. Fabulous view. I wish the no smoking policy included the decks since we had to close our window and door when neighbor smoked. Kitchen had everything we needed but the knives need a sharpening. 😁

Lovely, clean, perfect stay on Bailey Island!
This condo was exactly as advertised: beautiful water views, fully appointed, sparkling clean in a gorgeous fishing village. The hosts were super helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. Highlights were hiking Giant’s Stairs, the view at Dolphin Marina, scones at Salt Cod Cafe. We wish we’d done the lobster boat tour! Great day trips to Boothbay Arboretum, Freeport, Brunswick, and Bath. Evenings on the deck were the best way to end the day!

A nice condo right in Mackerel Cove. Wake each morning to the lobster bots heading out. A well appointed condo, great for one or two people. Terrific communication from the management team. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful relaxing stay
The Bailey Island condo was exactly as pictured on line, but areas that weren’t shown were impressive as well. The Condo was absolutely spotless, comfy bed, and had everything needed. Everything was organized and uncluttered so there was plenty of room for our stuff. The view was fantastic. We spent every morning and evening on the deck watching the lobstermen do what they do ☺️. Glens lobster was a short walk down the road, they pulled the lobsters from the water when u buy them. I would give the condo and the area more than 5 stars. Highly recommend this beautiful place!
