“Charming motel in such a beautiful setting. Very peaceful and quiet. Restaurants a short walk from the motel. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the island. The room was large, very clean and had a nice assortment of snacks and coffee.”
”This is an amazing motel that makes you feel at home!! Two great restaurants right nearby the schooner Alert is a great sailing ship with a great staff Captain Betheny and Captain Perry!! They take the time and effort to know each customer and Love their job!! Getting back to the motel is just perfect place to stay”
“We just got back from Maine and we stayed at Bailey Island Motel! It was wonderful!!! Beautiful location and the rooms are so warm and cozy! Also the rooms give you the vibe of home from home feel! The staff is so nice and welcoming! Cant wait to go back again”
"I just sent my friends an e-mail to tell them that I have just found the address of Heaven. We have enjoyed this place so much I want to come back every year."
“I just returned from a 4 night stay that was a real pleasure. It was my first time traveling with an electric wheelchair and I was nervous about whether everything would be manageable. Unit 1 is wheelchair accessible without looking out of place with other units. Brick approach to entrance fits decor and doesn't look like an obvious wheelchair ramp. I loved the color scheme and mid-century vibe. Main room has enough space to maneuver, helped by a pocket door leading to the bathroom. Bathroom has both a standard bathtub/combo at one end as well as a barrier free/roll in shower at the other end of room. Shower seat is provided though I ended up using my own shower chair. Best accessibility feature is the friendly, helpful staff who went out of their way to be hospitable and make my stay work. Would gladly return!”
“My fiance and I stayed at the remodeled Bailey Island Motel during Memorial Day weekend. The island was just beginning to "buzz" so we were able to enjoy the calm and soak in the sights. Mindy and Jeff were excellent hosts and it is clear that they thought about every single aspect of this remodel; from the outdoor furniture to the shower curtains not a spot was missed. The air conditioning was perfect for cooling the day and we left the windows open at night for the ocean breeze. With a remodel, comes a renewed aesthetic making this 90's girl swoon giving "The Jetsons" meets Drive-In Theater vibes. Theres ample grilling space and so many tables for outside eating. The road the motel is on is very walkable and its a short morning coffee walk to the beach and light stroll to the general store. Be sure to check out the on-site shop too, there are lots of treasures you wont find anywhere else. Do Not Pass This Place Up!”
“Motel met or exceeded all our expectations. Rivals many of the major chains. Ideal location close to restaurants and beautiful views of the ocean.”- Roger, USA, Booking.com
“Our friends and family have stayed at this wonderful hotel on Bailey Island in August 2022 and most recently this past weekend in October 2022. Both times, they have had excellent experiences! The hosts are friendly and very responsive addressing any issues or concerns which is very much appreciated. The decor is fabulous and the beds are very comfortable. All the extra touches (such as complimentary water bottles, coffee, refrigerator and microwaves in each room) make a big difference. We always plan to host our family and friends at the Bailey Island Motel!”
“Sister’s weekend getaway. Friendly hosts. Very clean and spacious accommodations. Bottled water in room upon arrival was a nice touch. Beds were super comfortable. Nicely kept property. Shout out for the fresh garden flowers. Can’t wait to stay here again.”
“I booked multiple rooms for friends and family to stay at for my wedding on Bailey Island, and I'm so happy I did. They were by far the most professional, comfortable, and clean accommodations for our guests. Everyone had only positive things to stay about their stay. My only regret is that myself and husband didn't stay there for our wedding night!”
“Our family stayed at the motel for 3 nights; the owner Mindy and her husband made it such a personal experience! So friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very clean and all updated in mid century modern decor. Lots of space for our teen children to run around and play football and soccer. Very close to some good restaurants. Highly recommend the stay!”
“I got married on Bailey Island and worked with Mindy to get room blocks for my guests. Not only was Mindy a delight to work with, but our guests loved staying at The Bailey Island Motel. The motel was just remodeled in 2022 and our guests were happy that all of their rooms had a sitting area and kitchenette with new and updated furniture. The Motel is in an excellent location that is walkable to everything the island has to offer: public beach, multiple restaurants, and scenic overlooks.”
“My boyfriend and I just spent the weekend at this lovely place. Very clean, bed very comfortable. Staff very friendly. Great location. Very quiet at night, would definitely go back. At the end of the road there is a great gift shop two floors. Cook’s Lobster and Ale House is not far, within walking distance. Nice pool and lounge area at this Motel.”
