A perfectly placed cottage overlooking Mackerel Cove! | Cottage in Bailey Island
2 Bedroom Cottage in Mid-Coast and Islands, Bailey Island
Welcome to Elroy Johnson Cottage!
Perched directly above the sparkling waters of Bailey Island's Mackerel Cove, the Elroy Johnson Cottage offers an unparalleled coastal Maine experience. With 180-degree views stretching across the working harbor, this quintessential seaside retreat invites you to start each morning with a hot cup of coffee on the deck as you watch local lobstermen set out toward the open ocean. This is coastal living at its best, peaceful, scenic, and deeply authentic.
Though technically considered a two-bedroom cottage, this charming home comfortably sleeps up to eight guests, making it the ideal destination for families, couples traveling together, or groups eager to enjoy the beauty of Harpswell.
Step inside from the roadside entry and follow the hallway into the bright and welcoming kitchen, the heart of the home. Just beyond, the open dining and living areas offer sweeping views of Mackerel Cove, perfect for gathering, relaxing, or simply watching the tides roll in. Off the living room, you'll find one of the first-floor bedrooms, complete with a queen-size bed and flat-screen TV.
Continue down the hall to discover the spacious primary bedroom, featuring a queen-size bed, soaring cathedral ceilings, and plenty of natural light. The first floor also includes two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and the other with a stand-up shower, ensuring convenience for groups of all sizes.
Head upstairs to the expansive second-floor bedroom, outfitted with a queen-size bed and two twin beds, making it an ideal space for kids, families, or extra guests. This level also includes its own full bathroom with a stand-up shower.
Love being on the water? Bring your boat, kayaks, or paddleboards. You'll have everything you need here. Just beyond the wide back deck, follow the path to your very own private dock complete with its own mooring in the cove. Whether you're planning ocean adventures or simply sitting by the water's edge, this property makes it effortless.
Looking to relax instead? Take a leisurely walk down the hill to the beach at Mackerel Cove, a perfect place to soak up the sun, read by the shoreline, or dip your toes in the cool Atlantic.
No matter how you choose to spend your time, the Elroy Johnson Cottage offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, comfort, and adventure. Come experience a true piece of Bailey Island history and beauty...your unforgettable Maine getaway awaits.
