About this cottage rental
Welcome to Spindrift!
Experience the quintessential Maine coastal getaway at Spindrift, a turn-of-the-century New England-style cottage perched right on the water's edge at the mouth of Little Harbor. With sweeping southeasterly ocean views, the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against nearby ledges sets the tone for a truly relaxing retreat. This charming cottage is the perfect spot to savor sunsets over the Atlantic while feeling completely immersed in the natural beauty of Maine's rugged coastline.
Step onto the side deck or into the spacious sun porch, where outdoor living is brought inside with comfortable seating and a dining table, ideal for morning coffee, casual meals, or an evening cocktail while taking in the panoramic views. Enter through the back to discover a well-equipped laundry room with a large washer and dryer for added convenience.
As you move through the home, you'll find a quaint sitting room with cozy chairs and a TV, perfect for relaxing after a day by the water. The kitchen, though compact, is thoughtfully designed and includes a small table and chairs, making it easy to prepare meals while staying connected with your guests.
The heart of the home is the bright and airy living area, boasting 180-degree open ocean views and plenty of space to gather with family or friends. Large windows and thoughtful layouts make it easy to watch the tides, the lobster boats, or the ever-changing light across the water.
Upstairs, the cottage offers four spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Sleep soundly in comfort with a variety of beds to suit your group:
King-size bedroom with stunning ocean views
Queen-size bedroom also offering beautiful water vistas
Full-size bedroom
Two twin beds in a cozy fourth bedroom
Wake up to the sunrise over the Atlantic or enjoy the evening's golden light without even leaving your bed in the front bedrooms.
Spindrift combines timeless Maine charm with modern convenience, including laundry facilities and the owners' water bottle service for your comfort. Relax, recharge, and step back in time while embracing all the pleasures of coastal life.
Please note: This property rents Saturday-Saturday in summer. Fireplace is available for renter(s) use.

We had a great time on Bailey's island! This house had beautiful ocean views all around. Was so cozy and quiet - would recommend to anyone planning to go to Bailey's Island! The property was clean and well maintained. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Would not recommend more than 8 people otherwise it would’ve been a bit crowded. The house is walking distance to Fishnet cafe, Coastal Creations and right next to Giants Stairs.Walking distance to Lands End shop and some of the beaches that have sea glass! (Mackerel Cove)

Rustic but really nice. Ocean views and outside deck are amazing. Love being able to open the windows for an ocean breeze and listen to the waves. We fully enjoyed the house and our stay.

We liked: Right on the ocean, the nice sunroom, off street parking, 30-second walk to Driftwood Inn for breakfast. We didn’t like: couldn't take a shower on the first night after a long road trip because no shampoo or shower soap was provided. 98% of all hotels and vacation rentals provide these so it's a standard guest expectation. Could've been addressed by a reminder in the listing for guests to bring their own. Next, I bumped my head badly on the top of the entranceway, which is only 64 inches high in contrast to the standard residential door height of 80 inches. Need a warning sign reminding guests of “Low clearance” when entering, and/or striped safety tape across the head jamb. Next, the electric tea kettle in the kitchen had water in it along with sediment and waterlogged crackers. Another tea kettle looked corroded so I ended up using a saucepan to heat my water. The stovetop had standing water on it. Next, the upstairs bathroom ceiling leaked one night from rain, a known issue. Next, half the flashlights in the event of a power outage didn’t work and the most accessible one had a stained lens as if the batteries had leaked. Next, the listing says the unit has heating but it's a propane unit that mostly just heats the living room. We stayed in October and it was chilly some days. In sum, we experienced multiple issues. A turn-of-the-century cottage is OK but the owner and property management need to address these issues especially safety ones; some are easy fixes.
