West Southport vacation rentals

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in this gorgeous ocean front property. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed. The bed is comfortable, we used the gas grill every night but one. After a full day of exploring, we sat on the red Adirondack chairs and just enjoyed the sound of the waves and the view. Beth and Dan were wonderful hosts. Beth made us a treat and after a long drive that was much appreciated! Can’t say enough. The stay was PEEFECT!

We have visited the Boothbay region over a dozen times, but have never been in the winter time to see the Gardens Aglow at the Maine State Botanical Gardens. The Gardens were amazing, but the cottage made our trip magical. The property is exactly as described, but better. Your views include islands, open ocean, crashing waves, lobster boats, lobstering off your deck, birds and wildlife. The cottage is super cozy, comfortable, warm, bright and cheery. Everything you need is on site. Great communication with owner. We had a small problem with the propane and the issue was resolved by the owner within 2 hours. The location is perfect as you are a few minutes from Ocean Point and a few minutes from downtown. The neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, so walks around the loop were peaceful and enjoyable. As a seasoned veteran of VRBO and Boothbay, this is the most complete and satisfying cottage we have ever stayed in. Can not say enough good things. Highly recommend this cottage!

Marion is a wonderful hostess. Enjoyed the seeing the sights.

A wonderful family vacation spot! First time staying in this spacious, handsome, comfortable, and perfectly equipped home, while renewing our 28-year Maine coast tradition. The home was absolutely as clean as we needed (some visitors may be slightly more picky); the wooded property is more beautiful than we anticipated; access to the dock is flat, clear, and quick. The availability of various water craft is a tremendous feature... and we only used the human-powered ones! We all loved exploring Back River--upstream and down, into the saltmarsh and across to the private picnic isthmus and the neighboring bay, filled with Snowy Egrets. Bedrooms and baths are all generously sized; beds (as well as linents and towles) are comfortable; plentiful windows welcome beautiful light and views; pure Maine! At the end of a warm, dry summer, the mosquitos were lighter (or their bites less long-lasting) than we expected, though multiple daily sprays helped, too. The only drawback to the location is the very hilly 1 mile drive on a dirt/gravel road off of the main road. Easy enough to load up the car for the quick trip to the ever fascinating Reid State Park, the glorious views at Five Islands (and next spring's return of Five Islands Lobster Co.), and Eros Oysters, the new farm on the Robinhood Cove. Access to Bath is easy, and always worth a visit. And at 45 min. away, the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden is perfect for a non-beach day; it's truly of Maine's premier special attractions! Our family looks forward to returning and making this tidal riverfront home a regular part of our family's most cherished tradition. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, your special piece of Maine with us.

My wife and I stayed in the Sheepscott Cottage for a week in Sept. Very clean, quiet, comfortable. Beautiful view of the Back River and Marsh. We had coffee on the back porch every morning and enjoyed the view. We went kayaking on the Back River from the dock, went to Popham Beach and walked the sand bar, Reid State Park Beach, Morse Mountain Seawall Beach. Climbed Higgins Mountain, Went to the Maine Maritime Museum and took a cruise down the Kennebec River, went to Bowdoin College to the museum and art gallery. We ate out at some really good restaurants (Blue being the best). We used the cottage as a base camp to explore the area, but this would also be a great place to just hangout, cookout, and sit around a fire. We highly recommend this cabin. The owners are great, the location is great. It made for the perfect vacation.
