You'll love gathering around the fire pit in comfy Adirondack chairs at the water's edge. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation and evening refreshments and s'mores! Enjoy the serenity of watching working lobster boats, bald eagles, low-flying osprey, and harbor seals on the incredible Sheepscot River.

The private dock is great for kayaking, boating, and casting a line on the Sheepscopt and Back Rivers.

For our off season guest rentals the cottage has central heat on the main floor and high quality Anderson windows so if it's chilly outside it's toasty warm inside. Especially perfect for fall foliage and Thanksgiving holiday getaways.

Easy access on and off the island by bridge. The cottage is not too far down the island so only a few minutes to get off the island and in the perfect location for exploring the mid coast area from Freeport to Boothbay to Camden and beyond.

Great place to stay
My group of retired ladies certainly enjoyed our stay at this charming New England cottage. It was one of the most well-stocked locations we've stayed with ample paper goods supplied, even shampoo in the showers. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable. We found the location central to activities we'd planned. We liked that it was right on the river that had a high and low tide. We'd definitely recommend this house and host.

Great stay on the Coast of Maine
This was a great house for a sizeable group with 6 adults! There was plenty of space to spread out and relax and the water views are incredible. We were even able to watch lobster boats come right close to the dock! There are some neat nature preserves on the island and it was easy to get into town. It's a little bit further to swimming, etc., because the bridge onto the island is currently only one lane, but our family had a wonderful time and would definitely go again!

Great for extended family.
Six adults, two children, and we all had a great time. The house is well equipped and conveniently located for exploring. The kids loved the dock and the fire pit, as did the adults. Thanks for the memories!

Perfect place for relaxation
Perfect location to relax, but also close by to many cities to visit. Enjoyed the fire pit and watching the sunsets over the water. Short drives to Bath, Rockland, Boothbay Harbor so very convenient location to lots of places along the coast.

Beautiful Property; Would Visit Again
We had an excellent stay at this Westport Island location. Quiet street that was very easy to get to. All bedrooms were perfect for the 6 guests and one dog. It was fully stocked with many amenities and the back yard and dock was perfect for hanging out at the house and easy access to the water for kayaking and paddle boarding; there were also many near by walking trails with excellent views. We loved exploring the towns of Wiscasset & Bath. Sam was very friendly and easy to contact with any questions. My only gripe was some of the cleanliness of parts of the house. The First Mates bedroom seemed not to have been cleaned very well. There was a large amount of assuming dog hair on the floor and inside the sheets. There was also an old chewed up dog toy under the bed that our own dog found. There was trash left in the pantry area by the back door and the refrigerator and freezer had a large amount of food left in it from other guests, we did have to move aside and clean both to allow our food for a week to fit. However the bathrooms were in great condition and we felt comfortable using the amenities in the kitchen. All in all the critique I have did not majorly affect our stay and we would definitely visit again. This property made us all truly fall in love with this quaint and peaceful island.
