From the moment our car hit the crest of the hill overlooking Mackarel Bay, we knew we'd picked a winner. We'll be back.

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. 😁

We had a great time at the condo. The location was great. It’s possible to just head out for a day of activities within an hour of the condo. It was very clean and organized. Would recommend!

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!
