a classic cottage with three bedrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. The wrap-around porch was an ideal spot morning, noon and night!

This rustic family cottage right on the ocean is the perfect spot for a simple old-fashioned Maine summer vacation (but with fast Internet). It’s in the best location on Bailey Island: walk to famous Cooks and other seafood restaurants, kayak rental outfitter, general store, post office, small beaches off the beaten track. But it’s also quiet and peaceful. Launch your kayak from the back yard, or just relax in the porch’s comfortable chairs, reading and watching the lobster boats work and the tide come in. I had a few Zoom meetings while watching the water from the porch! I found lots of good books to read in the cottage instead of books I’d brought with me. Lois is wonderful to work with. Neighbors are great. Cottage was meticulously clean and neat when I arrived for a month (my son’s family live nearby in Harpswell with a new baby). Kitchen has everything you’d need for cooking or baking. I miss hearing the waves as I go to sleep. My grown daughter loved spending one night in the twin bedroom and said it was like summer camp. I didn’t want to leave. Thank you Lois.

Spent a week at Washburn cottage - so nice to go to sleep and wake up with the ocean waves. Lois was wonderful to work with!

Washburn cottage is the best location on the island! So relaxing to sit on the porch and look over the water. The cottage is cozy and comfortable.
