4 Bedroom House in Brooklin

Comfortable & family-friendly, this 4 bed/3 bath, well-equipped home offers access to the wonders of the ocean tides with the luxury of a heated pool, sunny deck and cozy indoor spaces to relax and recharge.
Originally built in 1900, the Flying Jib was moved to a new foundation and underwent renovations in 1991. It now boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large, comfortable living spaces, and a fully equipped kitchen.
The cottage is equipped with games, books, and puzzles, internet access, televisions that allow for streaming content as well as viewing of dvd's.
The property allows for direct access to Herrick's Bay, to the west and what may be the most beautiful walk and views of Blue Hill and Jericho Bays to the east and south. High tide completely covers the rocky shore, and low tide allows for exploration of the wondrous sea creatures that live beneath. Live sand dollars, sea stars, anemones, a myriad of crabs and sea urchins can be observed along sandbars that become walking paths at very low tides that give access to the off-shore islands.
We only rent by the week between June-September (Saturday to Saturday). We can be somewhat more flexible in the shoulder season.

Summary: The “Flying Jib” was perfect for our family vacation. My 4 daughters and families came from all over the country to stay together in Maine. The house was big enough for 8 adults, two children, and one baby. I have never seen a VRBO kitchen this well stocked with dinner ware, pots and pans, and pretty much any gadget you might need. There was even a stock of spices. We managed to hit Maine during an uncharacteristically hot week. It got up to 85 and 90 which is pretty rare for June and being at the coast. There is no AC but plenty of box fans to keep the air moving and bring in the cooler air in at night. The pool was amazing and we made great use out of it. The pool needed to be vacuumed but was otherwise nice. The ocean was a short walk away and the kids had fun searching tide pools for creatures. There is a lot to do around the area as well. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are 1.5 hrs away giving us lots of options for hikes, shopping, and sight seeing. You can also get a variety of whale watches and fishing tours but beware you need to book these before you go because, as we found out, trying to find one while we were there was not happening. I also really liked Deer Isle. It’s a nice short pretty drive. Stonington is quant little town with some shops and restaurants. We ate at 27 Fathoms while there. I would recommend this property and would love to go back in the future.

Summary: It is important to remember that this is, as stated, a traditional cottage. Otherwise, the exterior of the cottage might seem disappointing upon arrival. It is, however, reasonably updated inside and run by an exceptional host who is responsive, thoughtful and has ensured that the cottage is clean, comfortable and has all expected amenities, and more. Having a private pool in Maine, although a little chilly, was an excellent perk. Moreover, the location was perfect for freely exploring what the coast has to offer, both onsite and an easy day trip to Acadia. We hope to return!

Summary: The location provides a short walk down to the ocean and it’s so much fun to walk out to the islands at low tide. The pool was a plus. The kitchen was well stocked (almost like someone lives there). The kitchen needed a good cleaning as did the sofa which smelled like a wet dog. Steps had dog hair as did some floors. I would call it a bit rustic, which was fine. Don’t miss Pugnuts for ice cream!

Summary: Our family greatly enjoyed our week in this comfortable cabin. It was well-supplied with everything we needed and had plenty of living space, both indoors and out. Lots of beautiful local walks and reasonable drive to Acadia. Dinner at the Brooklin Inn was fantastic!

Summary: We loved the house, spaciousness, and location. The kitchen was wonderfully well supplied, the mattresses were comfortable and in good shape, and the screened porch was a daily delight. The pool furniture was all high quality. Our only suggestion is that the master bedroom deck doors offer more privacy than they do now (curtains or shades). We would happily return.

Summary: We had a great week at the Flying Jib. We traveled with 3 young kids and we had a great week. There is plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, the pool was fantastic, and we walked down to the ocean almost every day. I wish we had brought our bikes or a folding beach cart to walk the kids down to the water, but we managed. We've stayed in multiple locations in Brooklin, Stonington, Brooksville. etc. and we REALLY enjoyed the location of the Flying Jib. It's secluded, quiet but yet still relatively close to a variety of things to do (hikes, restaurants, etc.). We would definitely stay here again.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely cottage which truly captured everything our imaginations had expected from vacationing on the coast of Maine. The cottage was comfortable, clean, and quiet. All of the places we wanted to go were within (at most) an hour’s drive. Kate was a wonderful, responsive hostess, always available to answer questions about the area and provide suggestions of places to go. Wonderful experience!
