Well-Appointed
Wonderful home with terrific views in a great location! As previous reviewers have noted, the kitchen has everything (and more!) one needs for cooking and entertaining while on vacation. We cooked most nights, including a couple nights of fresh lobster from the cove less than a mile away. Out of the water and I to the pot in less than an hour! Fresh, tasty, delicious! The deck is wonderful and our dog loved sitting out there and watching nature. The beds were comfortable, and there are cabinets full of dvds and puzzles and games. On two rainy days, it wasn’t a problem to stay indoors. It was a pleasure to kick back and relax! The owner, Brett, was very responsive when the WiFi went down one day or when we planned to cook 100 lbs of lobster and asked about an outdoor heating element. He came and set it up right away. Btw, in the cabinet is everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, one needs for preparing and eating lobster. Brett is also a wealth of k owl edge for local anything. Also, don’t forget to visit his storefront - Main Street Design Co - in nearby Bath. Very special and quality home interior goods.

Best gathering spot
This house is simply beautiful. All the fun nautical decor and tasteful furnishings were enjoyed by everyone. Everyone had their own space yet, there were many areas to allow a large group to gather. The long outdoor table was full every night for dinner. Close to the beach and scenic hikes. Perfect for our grandchildren to enjoy each other in the large playroom downstairs. Awesome vacation, thank you!

Maine Getaway
The home was lovely and the location was remote and quiet. There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed such as the leaking ceiling and the bushes that block the visibility of the road when leaving the drive.

Great getaway!
Loved the house! Plenty of bedrooms and multiple living areas for all ages. Our 4 year old grandson loved the toys and games. The kitchen had everything we could ask for and more. The only downside was the location on the main road onto Bailey Island. We were hesitant to go for walks from there (we did see others doing it) but could easily drive to find hiking areas and beaches. Our family really enjoyed the trip!

A-Maine-ziing!
Just as the description states, this house and views are amazing, as our niece stated, it was A-Maine-zing! Our family is from Bath and had always wanted to be back in the area for the 4th of July and this house was the perfect spot for our party of 7 to re-visit old memories and make fantastic new ones. The house is not very old, has all modern amenities, but has the feel of "old Maine" which is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Brett and family for sharing your beautiful home on VRBO.

Great place for family reunion
We were celebrating my parent's 70th wedding anniversary. Each bedroom had its own bathroom with luxurious towels and plenty of privacy. Kitchen was magnificently stocked, including wonderful welcome goodies. I appreciated outdoor grill setup for cooking lobsters and clams without having the smell linger in the house. Views from the upper deck were great. We had so much fun on the main floor together that we never really got to use the video system in the basement. I would definitely rent this property again.

A dream stay on Bailey Island
8 parents/grandparents and 5 children age 7 and below spent a grand 7 days at the Capt. Lawrence Johnson house. Owned by Capt. Johnson’s grandchildren, this iconic house of a historic fixture of Bailey Island lobstering made a perfect harbor for “cousin chaos” with lots of happy children and plenty of space for many moms and dads. Private space, very quiet, close to the Cribstone Bridge and a short drive to all the local sights. It was ideal for a large family that likes to cook. A perfect movie room for kids. Lots of baths for us all. And a porch view of stunning sunsets that made the stay all the more perfect.
