PRIVATE OCEANFRONT COMPOUND with spectacular ocean views from nearly every room


JAQUISH LANE
Perched on a stretch of rocky Maine coast, Jaquish Lane is a fully renovated oceanfront compound with stunning views of the sea from nearly every room. The property is well off the main road, and offers total privacy. Jaquish Lane consists of two separate structures (Jaquish House and #14) connected by an open grassy lawn.

JAQUISH HOUSE is a large, luxurious family home with a huge open plan living area with sweeping ocean views. The master suite has breathtaking views from the king sized bed - as well as the jacuzzi soaking tub.

“NUMBER 14” is a gem-like efficiency "honeymoon cottage" for two from the early 1900’s - when there was little else on the island.

Enjoy naps on the porch or walk to nearby beaches, restaurants and shops. Explore tidepools along the water’s edge or take advantage of the world class striper fishing from the rocks . Eat lobster freshly pulled from the sea by local lobstermen. Go sailing to nearby Eagle Island or kayak the miles of peaceful Harpswell coastline. Curl up in front of the fireplace with a book and a glass of wine.

Whatever you choose to do, it all comes back to the view. Crashing waves or perfect calm – the sea is a constant and ever changing presence at both Jaquish House and Number 14. Sit back and watch the ocean change with the weather. Hour by hour. Minute by minute. Always different. Always beautiful.

Jaquish Lane is a place to gather, surrounded by friends and family. A place for sharing meals and stories and remembering how wonderful it feels to truly let yourself slow down.

Both JAQUISH HOUSE and NUMBER 14 were completely renovated in early 2015. The chefs kitchen features all new appliances as well as high efficiency washer and dryer. Bedrooms all have brand new mattresses and are furnished with luxury bedding and linens. JAQUISH HOUSE features one King sized Master suite with en suite bathroom featuring an oceanfront jacuzzi soaking tub. One Queen bedroom with ocean views, one Queen bedroom with 48" television and blu ray player, and one "bunk room" with 4 twin beds. Free wifi - high speed internet throughout. NUMBER 14 has one Queen bed, an ensuite bathroom with clawfoot tub and tiled shower, and a kitchenette with sink, stovetop, microwave and fridge.

NUMBER 14 is available from May 1st to November 1st.

THE OWNER
My name is Carter Smith and I am the owner of THE GILLS GROUP (The Red House, Jaquish Lane and The Gills). I was born on Bailey Island and after traveling the world I know that this little island is special. As both a photographer and filmmaker, I travel quite a bit and I've furnished the houses with things I've collected from around the world (and around Maine). These are not just "rental properties"to me . These are houses I've designed and furnished with love and attention to detail - places where I spend time with family and friends whenever I get the chance. Places that I love sharing.

Amazing view!
Great house, great view, great communication. The house was super comfortable and relaxed for our group of adults, little kids and dog. Kitchen was well equipped but just note there’s no dishwasher. I expected to be able to walk down from the house to a rocky beach but it’s just a large rocky drop off. However we did enjoy the small sandy beach that’s just a 2 minute walk down the road for incredible sunrises and sunsets Would love to return sometime!

JAQUISH LANE
This was our second time staying at the Gills Group houses. This time in Jaquish which is the largest. LOVED this house. We were a group of seven and everyone had their own space. It's also great that it comes with the #14 cottage. The open living space is perfect and has the most incredible ocean views. Really no need to ever leave! The house manager Dave is also great. Very responsive to any and all needs. Makes the overall experience seamless. Cannot wait to come back next year!

Gorgeous Home in an ideal location
I was so impressed with the care taken in the property. It really is a special place. We had six adults and three kids so were left with plenty of space to hang out. The kitchen was really well equipped (less a dishwasher, but we adjusted to that pretty quickly). We had a lot of rain but the common space was large and comfortable and a perfect place to watch a storm roll through.

Amazing vacation spot
The house was amazing as was the setting. We are a family of 6 (all grown kids) and everyone had plenty of room to relax and unwind and be together inside and out! Dave, our property manager was incredibly responsive and lovely. We had such a wonderful time!

Maine Beach
Beautiful house with all the amenities you could ask for. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare great meals of the local seafood. Location and plentiful beautiful views made this stay awesome. Plenty to do and see. This is a beautiful area of the country. Experienced a Nor'easter during our stay too. We lost power but not to worry, our property contact Dave was there in a moment's notice to fire up the generator. He was a gem in taking care of us and making sure everything was perfect. I hope to return next year!

An excellent stay!
The trip got off to a great start when we entered the home, dimly lit and with a fire roaring. It was already dark, so we could not see the ocean, but when we awoke the next morning, we could then see the beautiful ocean views and rocky coast from the expansive primary bedroom windows. The coastline is exactly as it appears in the photos, the tides are pretty large providing a changing landscape throughout the day, the lobster boats come by regularly with sets directly in front of the home, there is constant entertainment. Functionally, the kitchen was fully stocked with all cookware, utensils, basic spices, and paper towels. Everything you need for a great stay!
