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.
