Have been going to B.I. for many years, usually rent a house on the water,but due to 401k and other situations only could spend 2 days here. We tried to get into the other places: BAILEY ISLAND MOTEL, THE LOG CABIN. AND THE DRIFTWOOD INN , They were either too expensive or no rooms. I have often walked by this place and wondered about it. The pool always caught my attention, soooo we called and got a room.
Cheryl, the person who ansered phone, was very cheerful and said she has a room for us.
Upon arrival, I was pleased to see some changes were made for the better. The grounds were immaculate and the landscaping was very nice with lots of colorfull flowers.
The room was very large, with a rocking chair and another wooden chair that was very comfortable. A small dining table with 2 folding chairs were infront of the microwave and small fridge.
A nice tv with cable provided some entertainment for our 2 grandchildren.
Outside on a small patio were 2 pine chairs for sitting and watching the island life go by.
You can see some water views but not enough to make it seem like you were on the water. The sunsets were beautiful for this location.
The only item missing was a air conditioner. There was a stand up fan and the cross ventilation did provide a nice breeze.
All and all it was nice.
If u go make sure you go down to GAINT STEPS a nice walk aloong the ocean. There is also a nice beach (CEDAR BEACH) but you will have to walk some distance and parking is scarse. Macarel cove is one of the most scenic spots on the island. At the end of the island is LANDS END , a gift shop that sells great fudge and many other things. We love to sit there and watch the lobster boats also a swimming area and rock climbing.
There is a bldg called library hall which has art sales and bake sales and a flea mkt occasionally.
Giant steps restarant was freat and priced well, cooks lobster house is always good, but getting a little pricey.
