The property and its history
The setting
Coastal Breezes sits on Bailey Island, in Harpswell, at the end of the road where Route 24 runs out of land. The island is a couple of miles of ledge, spruce and working lobster harbor, reached by crossing the Cribstone Bridge.
Origins
Describe when the house was built, who built it, and how the land was used before. A short account of the original owners gives guests a sense of the place.
Restoration
Outline the work done over the years: what was preserved, what was updated, and the materials and details you chose to keep.
The house today
Space for up to eight guests, a kitchen suited to long breakfasts, and rooms arranged so everyone has somewhere to settle in after a day on the island.
Guests

Around Bailey Island
Restaurant and shop hours change with the season, so check before you go.
Cribstone Bridge
Granite slabs laid without mortar so the tide flows through, linking Orr’s and Bailey Islands since 1928. A National Register landmark, and the best photo stop on the island.
Orr’s and Bailey IslandsGiant’s Stairs Trail
A short shoreline path to a staircase-like rift in the rock. Wear shoes with grip; the ledges are slick when wet and surf can be dangerous.
Bailey IslandMackerel Cove and Johnson Field
A working lobster harbor with a picnic field at its head, and an easy place to launch a kayak.
Bailey IslandLand’s End
The fishermen’s memorial statue, originally made for the 1939 World’s Fair, and a gift shop known for its fudge.
Bailey IslandLobster and seafood
Cook’s Lobster & Ale House on Garrison Cove, Morse’s Cribstone Grill, and Giant’s Stairs Grill. Check seasonal hours before you go.
