Amazing Views, and Comfortable Spaces in this Well Appointed Island Home

The well-appointed Captain Lawrence E. Johnson House is available for weekly rentals during the summer season and two-night-minimum stays in the off-season. The house is also available year-round for retreats, reunions, and special events.

Operated as Maine Island Getaway, with additional photos, seasonal notes, and property details available at maineislandgetaway.com, this luxury island home on Bailey Island offers beautiful water views from nearly every room, framed by working harbors and the timeless calm of island life. While the house is not directly on the shoreline, it sits in a village-like setting with spacious private decks and yards, along with nearby water access for swimming and boat launching.

The home features four luxury bedrooms with flexible accommodations, each with an en-suite bathroom, a modern professional kitchen, generous dining and comfortable living spaces, and a fully equipped media room. Guests enjoy high-speed fiber-optic internet—fast, reliable, and ideal for remote work or streaming, as well as energy-efficient central heating and air conditioning in all bedrooms.

Furnished with art and antiques that quietly set the tone of a true captain’s home, the house is authentic, functional, and quietly refined—every detail considered, every choice rooted in place.

Enjoy all that Bailey Island and neighboring Orr's Island have to offer: exceptionally fresh lobster, an easy walk to secluded Cedar Beach, hikes to the dramatic Giant’s Stairs, kayak rentals just over the Cribstone Bridge at H2O Outfitters, or fishing and sailing charters with experienced local skippers.

The house is fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped, ready for your enjoyment from the moment you arrive.

Another amazing vacation on Bailey Island in this perfect house (the driveway is a bit tricky but very doable). We love that there’s so much to do right on the island like fishing, beach combing… and yet you aren’t far from shopping and other attractions. The house is ideal for our large extended family and there is plenty of space for games, puzzles, tv, crochet… Brett, as always, was prompt in communications and a pleasure to deal with. We are already looking forward to next year!

The house and property are better than advertised, since the pictures don't fully do it justice. We're a family of 6 and everyone had an amazing time. The house is beautiful, especially the kitchen and dining area. The bedrooms are all comfy cozy, and it's amazing that they all have their own bathrooms. 10/10 would recommend!

The house was lovely and well suited for our group of 11. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make meals. We loved cooking and eating fresh lobster! My kids enjoyed having a tv in their own room. Bailey Island is an amazing place to explore - especially the Giant Stairs and walking to the water at different times of day. We also day tripped to Acadia, explored Boothbay Harbor, and loved Brunswick.

Wonderful week on Bailey Island

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it to anyone considering coming to Bailey Island. There were ten in our family from age 4 to 72 and everyone loved the house and all the amenities it provided. The wonderful furnishings are warm and comfortable and the house has so much space to spread out yet the living and dining area is large enough everyone could be together when we wanted to. And if you love to cook, you are really going to love the kitchen. We did use it but also went to many of the great restaurants nearby. There is a lot to see in the area but this is also a nice place to simply relax and enjoy the clean Maine air.

Fabulous Fall Getaway

My family of 5 loved the opportunity to spend 4 nights in this beautiful home. The setting is gorgeous with views galore. The house had everything we needed to keep our 3 kids happy and comfortable. The island and neighboring area was perfect for outdoor activities. We would love to return again.

A beautiful family getaway!

What an outstanding host and property. We vacation as a family every year, all over the east coast, and this home rates at the top. The bedrooms each had a bathroom-the kitchen was equipped for a chef-the outdoor areas were so beautiful (including awakening each day to the birds!)-and the home was decorated to make you feel at home. The host has a wonderful home and we’re so welcoming. Thank you!

Great house very comfortable and well appointed. Very roomy for our entire family. Nice to have en suite bathrooms with all the bedrooms. The host was very good with communication.

A Great Property for Vacation

Our entire group of seven was delighted with the house and location! We cooked most evenings and loved having dinner every night on the expansive porch with beautiful views. The interior is spacious and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The driveway is a little tricky but definitely manageable with the windows down to hear vehicles approaching when you're pulling out. We would absolutely rent again. Thank you Brett and Family for a lovely week with many happy memories!

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!

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!
