Little Harbor - Crashing surf, sunrise views from this perfect Maine getaway.

***WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT LITTLE HARBOR'S POST-STORM REPAIR AND RENOVATION IS NOW COMPLETE AND THE COTTAGE IS AVAILABLE FOR BOOKINGS SEPT-OCT!***

Bailey Island waterfront, bold surf, private, and location, location, location! This cozy, yet rustic, oceanfront cottage on Bailey Island oversees what was once called "the most spectacular view in North America". The ocean surrounds you and provides views from every window. The cottage itself overlooks sparkling vistas of open ocean to the east and south, Casco Bay to the West, Little Harbor and Edna St. Vincent Millet`s Ragged Island. Enjoy dining in the dining area or on the deck--both inside and outside you marvel at waves crashing on the rocks below. Whether soaking up sun on the spacious deck, catching that big striped bass from the rocks or swimming in the natural pool below, your time spent at Little Harbor is truly magical and deeply restful. The cottage sleeps four, is close to walking trails and public beaches and is located just 25 minutes from the Maine State Music Theatre at Bowdoin College, art galleries, Maine festivals and the Brunswick Golf Club. Charter fishing, kayak and boat rentals, whale watching and Casco Bay tours are just some of the local activities. But, whether you choose to stay on the deck or explore the area, you will look forward to rolling waves, soothing surf and colorful sunsets. The views are endless and forever color the way you remember "the rockbound coast of Maine". For those who love Maine and for those who want their first taste it does not get any better than this!

Not worth it!
The view is what you pay for and that’s it. And it is an amazing view. But one I won’t see from this cottage ever again. It would be nice if the owners used the rental money they make to update all of the furniture, the couch and chair are both tiny and unbelievably uncomfortable, beds were AWEFUL. I’ve slept in more comfortable beds in cheap hotels. My husband couldn’t even sleep in the beds so he tried the pull out twin bed from the couch. It also was extremely uncomfortable AND broken. We rented in October. Our first day on arrival was cold and rainy. They had a tiny room heater plugged in when we got there. That did pretty much nothing! A woodstove that we could have used to warm up the cottage but no supplies to do so. We purchased that stuff at the closest Walmart the next day so we could at least be warm at this crappy uncomfortable cottage. The bathroom shower stall is horrid. Tiny, old, stained and when you showered you stood in 3-4 inches of water by the time you're done. After complaining we were offered a refund on a portion of the cost. I would never recommend this rental to a single person. We should have gotten a full refund.

Crashing waves. What more good you want?
The place was a perfect little haven. Right on the rocks surrounded by beautiful views on 2 sides. My favorite spot was out on the deck watching the distant lobster boats check their traps.

This is a splendid cottage. For those looking for comfort, privacy, beautiful vistas, and quiet days and nights, please consider Little Harbor. We found all of that here. As we live in the chaos of suburbia, the calm pace of Bailey Island suited us. Thank you Penny and Eric for your grace and hospitality.

Little Harbor
Absolutely fantastic! The cottage has 270 degree views of open ocean. The sunrise is beautiful. You can sit on the deck and watch the lobster boats and sailboats go by. You can also see ships going in and out of Portland. The night sky is something to not be missed. The cottage itself is perfect. We would say it is more for two or three people instead of four. It would be a bit snug with four. Number four person would have to sleep on the pullout couch. If you are into the big bathroom thing, you won't get it with Little Harbor. The bathroom is perfect for what needs to be done and that's it. The shower is low pressure but does the job. The wood stove was perfect for a small fire when it got chilly at night. The cottage was very clean when we arrived. There is plenty to do in the area if you get tired of sitting on the deck and watching the ocean. There is a great little gift shop within walking distance on the same road as the cottage. Get your lobsters at the dock in Mackerel Cove. For food, the Giant Steps Cafe is perfect. Morse's Cribstone restaurant is also very good. Stay away from Cook's. Casco Bay Ferry goes out for little tours of the area. Brunswick is just 20 minutes up the road. You can get groceries and other things you might need at Cook's Corner. If you are in the modd for some good grease, go to Fat Boy for some old-fashioned drive-in service. It is just south of Cook's Corner on the Bath Rd. Turn your lights on for service. Bath also has plenty to offer. We have already rented Little Harbor for next year. If you don't mind a place that is small, a bit rustic, and absolutely perfect, than this is the cottage for you! This would be a perfect honeymoon spot for anyone looking for some peace and quiet to enjoy their new beginnings together. It's great for anyone who just wants to get away from the ratrace of everyday and relax. We would highly recommend Little Harbor to anyone who asked.

The view was amazing, disappointed in the bathroom (rust stains, dirty) and cleanliness of the place
The view is amazing - you see the ocean from the porch / living room / kitchen, never seen a location like it. The VERY unfortunate part is the general cleanliness of the place, it is very old and dusty and needs a very good thorough cleaning. It has a very old carpet and the bathroom is full of rust stains in the shower, sink and toilet. There were ants on the kitchen counter. We wore hotel slippers the whole time, flip flops in the shower, and covered the (derelict) couches with towels and sheets as we were not comfortable in touching them. Thank goodness we brought Clorox with us. If you like clean places - like in a hotel - then this place is not for you. We loved the view, hearing the waves crash on the ocean, but would not come back a second time due to the cleanliness of the home.
