  Southport Island is a terrific location on the coast of Maine! This rental is lovely - it was incredibly clean upon our arrival. The house is filled with collections of antiques and lobster memorabilia which made it a fun place. There were a few reasons we did not give an excellent rating: the property appears on the listing to be directly on the water. In fact, it is a walk across a large lawn and down a path to get to the water. Certainly not an issue, but I would list it as a water view. Also, there is another building on the property - about 30 feet from the main house - which has tenants. The home also shares space with a beautiful chapel, so the access road to the house is much busier than we had anticipated. If you are seeking true privacy - this home is not the one to rent. And lastly, the cleaning fee for this home is $200. I can understand why with all the collectibles - but that is the largest amount we have ever paid for cleaning. We did enjoy our stay - and would recommend this property - but felt that future renters would like to know about the issues we mentioned.

  This was a spacious and well appointed property. The reality was even better than the photos and the inside was spotless and well maintained. I would have no problem recommending this property to a friend or relative. We enjoyed exploring Southport and the fact that the property was on the water. I would highly recommend a trip to Monhegan Island. Other than that biking, hiking and kayaking will keep you plenty busy. We would definitely go back.

  My family (3 generations) stayed here August 2010. Although the rental photos are quite good, they still don't do the place justice. We couldn't have asked for a better house and grounds and wouldn't want to see a thing changed. The house's elevation affords it a great view of the water and when not outside you'll enjoy the view within as the home is beautifully decorated. Our stay was comfortable, filled with plenty of r & r, nature, and nearby towns when we wanted to venture off the island. Particularly we enjoyed the walk down to the water past the chapel and to the pier that we shared with other vacationers and Mainers. Wonderful!

  My family stayed here summer 2010 and felt so very fortunate to have had the privledge. The owners hospitality is apparent in every corner of this home. Many places to just sit, relax and read a book while the kids played outside. A vast collection of very interesting books to choose from too. The big hit for the kids was the frog pond, hunting for seaglass on the shore and fresh blueberries for breakfast right from the yard. My kids were active in the Southport Yacht Club and this location is very close by. The heritage rich church right down the road was a wonderfully added experience as well. We highly recommend this property for anyone that wants the convenience that vacationing in a beautifully furnished and fully equipped home can provide.

  My husband and I, our kids, and my parents stayed at this cottage last summer. We loved the location. The owner's were very accomodating and they went out of their way to show us around the property and recommend things to do and places to eat in the area. The pictures they posted on the website did not do the property justice. The house was very clean and homey. We had more than enough room. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wants to be close to the Boothbay area and stay in a beautiful Maine setting. The only thing we didn't take advantage of that we wished we had was kayaking from the campground down the road. We saw others doing that and wished we had but ran out of time.

  Owner response: This is our home and not like a commercial rental plus it is our nature to accomodate guests in our home. We are certainly pleased they enjoyed our home. Ed and Arlene
