About this property

Stunning Renovated Waterfront Home with Private Deepwater Dock; Windows Galore!

On the water with expansive views and a private deepwater dock on the property for your boat. This location cannot be beat. This year round home is located on Southport Island, a short five-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor. It is perched on the edge of Townsend Gut with water views from every room. You could easily spend the entire day watching the boats travel past from the porch while listening to the seagulls sing. Robinson’s Wharf (the island’s most popular restaurant) is a short walk away. The house underwent a full renovation in early 2018 which included all new furniture/ decorations and is ready for visitors! If you need more space a seasonal cottage adjacent to this property is also available for rent on VRBO #1380743.
The main level has an open floor plan with living, dining and kitchen that look out onto Townsend Gut – the views are stunning. Three sliding doors lead to the porch that is perfect for relaxing, watching the world go by and happy hour. This level also contains a large master bedroom with a queen bed and a full wall of windows overlooking Decker’s Cove. The master bathroom has ample closet space, double sinks and walk in shower. The main floor powder room includes a stackable washer/dryer for those lucky enough for longer stays.
The upper level views rival those of downstairs with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a tub shower. Two bedrooms have queen beds and the third bedroom has a pair of twin beds.
The property is stunning with new professional landscaping and ample space for lawn games or lounging under the large trees while watching the tides rise and fall. There is a private deepwater dock right in the yard if you want to bring your boat.
Southport Island is only a 5 minute drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor – just over the Townsend Gut Swing Bridge. Southport Island is close enough to Boothbay but also has its own restaurants and sites. Robinson’s Wharf, Cozy's Dockside and Newagen Inn are highly recommended restaurants on the island. Hendricks Head Beach is located on the west side of the island. Sailing, boating and kayaking are spectacular activities in and around the island. If you want to venture off the island, the Boothbay Harbor Region has extensive nature trails, lake swimming (Knickerbocker Lake), golfing, an aquarium and one of the best Botanical Gardens in the country.



**you can also rent the 1 bedroom cottage on the property if you need more space. VRBO listing #1380743. Contact Kim for more info**

Amazing home full of sunlight, with incredible views! Walk to Robinson’s Wharf for dinner. Close to Boothbay Harbor for shopping and restaurants. The house works well for family gatherings. Beautiful and relaxing, we didn’t want to leave.

The house was perfect for our girls weekend. It was beautiful, clean, with big windows and a great view. We loved spending each late afternoon enjoying a glass of wine on the deck. We were close to everything we wanted to do. The house was wonderful. I would highly recommended it!

This is our second time staying at this Absolutely Perfect!This waterfront home in Southport is pure perfection—spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything you need. The panoramic harbor views, morning seagulls, church bells, and passing boats made every moment magical. We can’t wait to return!

Great House and Great Location

Beautiful views and great house. The outdoor area is awesome and has an awesome view of the marina in the backyard along with a private dock. My boys fished and fished there but never caught anything, must have been the time of year. Less than 5 minute drive into boothbay as well plus a restaurant right next door. Loved staying here!

Absolutely FABULOUS house and location! We LOVED our stay. The house is beautiful with large windows throughout the main floor that have gorgeous views of the water. We rented a boat and kept it at the dock off the house - that was fun! We had a great time exploring the area by boat. The hosts do a great job of making guests comfortable - the check-in and check-out process is clear and easy. Plenty of bathroom towels and toilet paper are provided. We loved the BBQ on the deck. Lots of great restaurants are nearby. It's just an all around great house, and great location :)

Stunning views

We enjoyed a family vacation in this beautiful property. The deck overlooking the bay was perfect and we spent the morning having coffee there and adult beverages in the evening. The location is perfect to get into Boothbay, just a short drive, and there is a restaurant that we walked to right next door. Kim was a very good contact and responded quickly and was very helpful. Highly recommend.

We rented both the house and the cottage for our group of nine adults. The house was fabulous! My family thought I was a genius for finding it. Check-in was a breeze. The house was very clean. We cooked most of our meals at the house. The kitchen was well equipped to do so and we had every kind of seafood possible in Maine. The weather was quite warm so we made use of the bedroom air conditioners some nights. My cousin was able to sail over from Georgetown several times and dock at the house. Fabulous!We hope to rent this property again next year.

Perfect for 8 adults. Highly recommend getting steamed or live lobsters from Atlantic Edge and bringing them back to the house. Had a great time putting together puzzles, playing games, visiting, and shopping.

The house was beautiful. The location was perfect as a homebase. The house is next to a restaurant and you can watch the boating activity and boats coming in and going out. Southport General Store is just a few miles away. Boothbay is 10 minutes and has everything you could need and the quintessential Maine town. I traveled with my husband and adult daughter. Could have comfortably fit a couple more people. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Views stunning!! We rented a boat for two days and the dock was perfect. A couple things to note may not be able to have an outdoor fire if it's dry due to no burn laws. Also, the house does not have AC on the 1st floor only AC units in the upstairs bedrooms. It was in the 70s while we were there but the house does warm up quick since it does not have curtains in the main area. The sliding deck doors and windows offer a very nice cross breeze. Host Kim was nice and responsive. Any concerns were addressed quickly. I would recommend and stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with us. The Schlachters and Zalesaks.

Nice getaway place

The house is great for a family getaway, but it wasn’t perfect for us as four couples, since one bedroom had two twin beds and the beds and pillows were quite soft. Despite that, we had a wonderful stay and wouldn't let those minor issues overshadow our experience.

Perfect Getaway

We loved everything about this house and it was just perfect for all of us. We had a range of ages from a toddler to grandparents and everyone had a great time. Kim is extremely detail oriented as she made sure we had child friendly items in the house including a highchair. She responded back to any questions I had in a timely manner. Check in and check out process was really seamless. We would love to stay here again!

Boothbay waterview

Great location, beautiful view, very clean and a treat to have breakfast and happy hours out on the deck overlooking the waterfront. It was spacious and loved the openness surrounded by window views, just a little tight with bedrooms/bathrooms for 6 adults ... probably better with no more than 4 adults and kids. Great spot and an easy drive to attractions - would definitely recommend!

About the host

A few friends, who specialize in small Colorado and Maine real estate ownership got together to purchase this unique waterfront home and cottage in one of our favorite Maine locations. I volunteered to manage the rentals.

Why they chose this property

We love being next door to Robinson's Wharf, a renowned and family friendly restaurant with an active lobster business.
