The Overlook- Enjoy stunning sunsets from this well-appointed Bailey Isl home
Perched on the water's edge, The Overlook offers commanding views of Merriconeag Sound to Casco Bay and its islands. You'll find yourself waiting to watch the sunset every evening, as the sky is painted with stunning hues and the soft light fills every room. The Overlook offers multiple decks with plenty of seating for dining outdoors or simply relaxing by the sea. Beautiful gardens and trees surround the property, offering great privacy, while being within walking distance to all Bailey Island has to offer.
Inside you'll find a well appointed kitchen with everything you'll need to prepare a delicious Maine meal, a beautiful dining room area with two sliding glass doors opening to the deck, and a spacious living room with comfortable furnishings and panoramic ocean view. The first floor also offers a bedroom with a queen bed and ocean views, as well as a full bathroom with a laundry area just outside. On the second floor you'll find two additional ocean view bedrooms with queen beds and a shared full bathroom with a tile shower. Hardwood and tile floors throughout, modern coastal decor, and an abundance of natural light completes this seaside retreat.
Conveniently located in the West Shore neighborhood of Bailey Island, you'll love being just 0.5mi (8-10min walk) from all of the island's great local restaurants including Cook's Lobster & Ale House (serving lunch and dinner), Sundrenched (serving lunch and dinner), and Bailey Island General Store (convenience store).
Spend your days relaxing by the sea, exploring the shore, sailing out of Cook's Lobster on the Schooner Alert (70-foot tall ship), or soaking up the sun at Cedar Beach (1mi away) and come home to experience the gorgeous sunset over the bay.
The Overlook is the perfect vacation destination and will surely have you coming back for years to come.
Sorry, pets are not allowed at The Overlook.

House was very nice for our family of 5. On the water with a great view. Kitchen was well equipped and everything was in good working order. Would definitely stay again.
Sunsets, birds, boats, and the sea, magnificent views. Private, hidden, and comfortable place right on the water was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. It's not too far away from many towns like Bath and Boothbay Harbor too.
Very clean and comfortable home, with beautiful sunset views. Kitchen is exceptionally appointed. Gorgeous landscaping with cedar wax wings, gold finches and song sparrows flitting about. Lots of Adirondack seating for coastal views with your coffee and book.
Such a charming property!
The house was super clean, quiet, and felt very private....and the view was amazing! It was mid-July and no AC was needed because of the lovely breeze. There are fans available at the property if needed, but we didn't need them. We were able to launch our paddle boards right from the property at high tide. The house was well equipped - had everything we needed.....we even used the Thyme in the herb garden.

I was traveling with older relatives who needed an accessible home right on the water. The home was spectacularly well-furnished and the view before us including a veritable lobster farm was stunning, sunrise to sunset.

The house is in a great location on Baileys Island and is decorated so you feel comfortable and right at home. There was a lot of outdoor seating for us to watch the water/sunset. The kitchen has everything you will need. It is also really simple to contact management since they text you and are available for any questions. The only downside is if you stay in the hotter months, there is no AC, but they do have fans throughout. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved everything about the property. Much appreciated the lawn games, indoor games, and having basic spices on hand. Beautiful views, clean and inviting
The house is very well equipped for travelers, the kitchen has everything you could imagine including a milk steamer for coffee! The setting is wonderful right on the water which create a great canvas for nightly sunsets. Cooks, Morse's and the Giant Stairs restaurants are within walking distance, including the Bailey Island Grocery (BIG's) which serves food from their grill. It is a must to experience BIG's for breakfast and their blueberry pancakes, make sure to order just one because they cover an entire plate......
Great overall experience and the owners have certainly put much thought and care into the property.
