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.

We had a great stay in this fabulous property. It meet all our expectations. The beds were very comfortable for a group of seniors who can be critical at times.
Amazing house and excellent location. We ate a lot of lobster, went "lobstering", ventured out on a Schooner and enjoyed spending time with our family.Thank you.

Had a wonderful, relaxing week at the Flying Lobster House! The house is lovely and clean and comfortable, and the views all around the house are gorgeous.

Perfect Maine spot
We loved our stay at the flying lobster. The location was fantastic. The house is perfectly appointed with incredible views out every single window. It would go back in a heartbeat and hope to.
Great house -- looks like online photos!
Great views -- better than online photos!
Nice location -- we were able to visit small towns near Bailey Island, as well as Portland.
We recommend!
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.
Panoramic views. Walking distance to great lobster. Minutes to breathtaking rocky ocean shorelines and forested hiking trails. It was a lovely respite and hard to leave. You will not be disappointed.
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.
The view out 3 sides is excellent. short walk to alot of things. working dock and resteraunt very close. we bought lobsters from the dock multiple times and ate at the house. everyone loved it.

Beautiful setting
Our family gathered at the Flying Lobster House for a week in August. It is a lovely home with spectacular views. The owners were very responsive to any questions or problems. Very nice space for everyone to get together. Only negative was so much traffic going in and out of Cook’s Lobster House on the weekend.
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.
