Scenic Waterfront - at Head of Cozy Harbor - Southport, Maine Southport, Maine Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 33857

The front yard from the cottage, sloping to Cozy Harbor

 

Location: Southport, Boothbay Harbor Area, Mid-Coast & Islands, Maine, USA (10 minutes from downtown Boothbay Harbor)

Accommodations:  Maine Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)

2009 was another successful and we're now accepting reservations for 2010. The 2010 high-season has already been rented, but May and June is when the Harbor is coming alive and September and October offer foliage, warm days, and crisp nights. Check the 2010 availability. The off-season rates are the same as last year--$795/wk, plus Maine Sales Tax.

We also have wireless Internet at the cottage and it easily reaches to the lounge chairs on the front lawn.

Kent St. John, senior editor of GoNomad, an on-line travel website, has stayed at the cottage and wrote an article about it, "The Perfect Summer Rental," that you can view on the Cozy Harbor Cottage website. Just go to the Cozy Harbor Cottage link listed below for more information on the cottage and a link to that article.

My sons and I run and maintain the cottage and we think we have one of the prettiest and most relaxing spots in the area for the price (maybe at any price!).

From the picture to the left, you can see that it's a beautiful, private spot, with the lawn leading right down to Cozy Harbor. ---------------------------We are the Maine you imagine! Your first hint that life might be slower on Southport Island is if the swing-bridge is open as you make your way to our waterfront cottage. Yachts, fishing boats, sailing ships and pleasure craft keep the bridge tenders pretty busy in summer months and give visitors an opportunity for a true taste of Maine.

But it’s just a short wait for the bridge to close and then only a few minute drive to Cozy Harbor on Southport Island, one of the most charming and unspoiled harbors along the Maine Coast.

Our turn-of-the-century cottage sits at the head of Cozy Harbor providing a panoramic view in a private setting. Through the picture window, young sailors and seasoned fishermen navigate past the cottage. Lobster boats chug by the property on the rising tide. Great blue herons, osprey and the occasional eagle all visit the harbor.

The front lawn slopes gently right to the water and is perfect for morning coffee, a book, or an afternoon nap. There is a small kitchen and bathroom on the first floor along with a larger dining/living room that looks over the harbor. There are two small bedrooms on the second floor, each with a full bed and bureau. The front bedroom looks out over the harbor with the open Atlantic in view.

You might want to explore a little, too. Back out to Beach Road and up the hill to the right, it’s a two minute walk to the Southport General Store, Post Office, school playground, and the Southport Museum (home to one of the three pairs of Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz. Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch, was a frequent visitor to the island).

Out to the left, it’s a two-minute walk to the Boothbay Harbor Trust Nature Walk and the Hendrick’s Head Beach with its famous lighthouse in view. Pass the beach, take the right up the hill, and it’s a picturesque one and a quarter mile “loop” walk that will bring you back to the cottage.

And all of this is just a short drive to Boothbay Harbor with its multitude of summer activities, boat trips, kayak rentals, golf, shopping, and restaurants. (You can sail your kayak and tie it up right out front of the cottage.)
Big new recliner for naps and big front lawn for tiring out the kids!

We’ll make every effort to ensure you have a wonderful Maine visit. No Smoking and no pets, please. Bed linens and towels included in the price. Don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me with any questions. You'll get a quick response. Thanks. John Blois
