This home has beautiful views of the water inside and outside. It was very well equipped with everything you need for cooking. The beds were comfortable.there was plenty of sitting room. The home was very clean. We would stay again if ever in this location again. We are in the 65 ,70 age group and there is a lot of steps we managed ok, but if you have mobility issues.i would not recommend staying here.

Steamboat Landing

Great house and beautiful location. One of the few places I’ve stayed that was as good if not better than advertised. The owner was very helpful. Our group of 4 were very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great property in a beautiful location

The property was just as described in the listing, and the views were amazing! My family and I had a great time staying in Southport export, exploring the island and Boothbay Harbor. The house was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided including bath towels, bed linens, beach towels, beach chairs. The host even provided shampoo and conditioner!

Property beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. A bit of trouble checking in as we were given the wrong key code. Lots of steps to hike up with heavy luggage. Beautiful views all around.

Perfect Family Getaway

This was the perfect home for my family and me for a much needed vacation. The home was super cute and well decorated with beautiful costal themes. Let me just say my favorite part of this beautiful home was the amazing views on both floors! The location was also great for walks and the owner shared with us the location if Hendricks beach, which was only a mile walk from the house. There was so much to do from shopping, enjoying great food, walking through a botanical garden and ending the week with a boat tour. Lastly, the owners were amazing with checking in with us via messaging to ensure we had everything we needed. This was a great vacation that did nit disappoint!

The quiet side

Our stay at the Steamboat Cottage was wonderful! While we were close enough to bustle of Boothbay and all of its offerings. Our afternoons and evenings in Southport, allowed us to retreat to picturesque sunsets on the deck overlooking the Sheepscot. The general store down the road offers great breakfast and lunch choices, and the host book provides you with the ins and outs of the best places to eat and visit nearby. We were two families with kids. The beach was close enough to ride to, and the school nearby had an amazing playground we frequented. The location was excellent, and our stay was comfortable. On top of that the communication with the owner was clear and friendly. A truly fantastic vacation.

Great family vacation spot

The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Key items were linens, functional appliances and extra toiletries (Q tips, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, etc). There were helpful signs in the kitchen to be able to put things back where they belong. The cottage is very spacious with a first floor open concept that worked well for our family. There was a guidebook and instructions on parking, trash, and check out that was very clear and neatly organized. It was very family friendly with some toys (including beach toys) and books for kids. We loved the huge deck with beautiful views - perfect for hanging out or enjoying a meal. It's in a great location! Very quiet, peaceful family neighborhood. Within a long walk or a short drive to the Southport General Store and Hendrick’s Head beach. Our communications with the host were friendly. Any items of concern were quickly resolved.

Wonderful water views!

Our family recently stayed at the Steamboat Landing cottage on Southport and loved our stay. It was a very quiet neighborhood and the water views from both levels were so amazing (particularly the master bedroom). The cottage was well stocked and the bedrooms were all good sizes. It was nice having laundry in the unit. We felt the listing was accurate re: amenities and accessibility. We appreciated being close enough to Boothbay Harbor and all it had to offer, but not so close that we had to deal with the traffic and parking. On Southport Island, we loved the General Store for some morning coffees, Hendricks Head beach & lighthouse and the Cape Newagen Alpaca Farm. We made day trips to Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and the Coastal Maine Bontanical Garden - both are must sees when in the area. Gillian, the host, was great about checking in on us periodically to help with whatever was needed. Overall, it was a good value. We would stay here again if in the Boothbay area!

Steamboat Landing ‘s Safety Issues

Stairs from parking area to house are incomplete and unsafe. Were forced to walk uphill over slippery rocks as stairs were missing. Stairs in the house were steep and steps too short. Stairs would not pass safety code. Railing was too close to the wall for hands to hold securely. Bath tubs were very difficult to get in and get out of, and there no grab bars, dangerous.

Thank you for your review. We strive to be accurate in our listing, which is why we have a section (‘Stairs’) describing the uneven ground leading to the cottage & the amount of stairs both inside & outside. Cottages in Maine can be quirky & are certainly not for everyone. The addition of grab bars is an excellent suggestion, we will install those in both bathrooms.
