The 100 year old Red House at the head of Mackerel Cove was built when most of Bailey Island was wild and undeveloped - and once you've spent time here it's clear why this spot was chosen. You FEEL the ocean just steps away wherever you are on the property - and each night the sun sets directly in front of you across the water. No matter what you are doing - cooking dinner with loved ones - reading a book on the porch - spending a lazy day in bed - the sea is always present. The space THE RENOVATION Everything in The Red House has been updated during the Spring 2017 renovation. From plumbing to heating it's all brand new. Luxury beds and bedding in the two upstairs bedrooms. All new appliances in the fully equipped kitchen. But it all started with the bathrooms. Built to accommodate four - the STEAM ROOM looks directly out to the ocean with the same magnificent views as the rest of the house. The upstairs SECRET half-bath is hidden behind a custom built rotating bookcase inspired by my 9 year old niece and her fascination with all things magical and mysterious. The living and dining spaces have been furnished with a mix of local antiques and art. Guest access THE BEACH The private beach just steps from the front door is the perfect place to launch kayaks and explore the coastline, collect seaglass and explore tide pools at low tide - or for the brave - take a dip in in sea!
