Great private and quiet location with a ton of room

This was a great private and quiet location with more room than we certainly needed. I brought my in-laws for the 60th wedding anniversary and it was great for them who had somewhat limited mobility etc. Highly recommend the Boothbay Region and this house and host for sure!

Sunny and Relaxing

The stay was exactly what we needed. Sunny backyard and just sitting back and watching the tides come and go. The Hartwells were great to work with, the house was immaculate, and property was perfect! It was secluded enough to make you feel like you were all by yourself but close enough to amenities. Hope to stay here again in the Future!

Wonderful location

We loved the Hartwell house on Southport! The cove is private and peaceful yet close enough by car or boat to Boothbay Bay Harbor. There was plenty of beds and bathrooms in the house and the yard was enjoyed by all! Having our own private dock was important and the kayacks were provided. Ree was a great host and quick to respond to us. Thank you!

Happy Family Retirement Trip

Our family of two young children, two young adults and two older adults had a fantastic experience in West Southport. The property was extraordinarily. Everything from the playhouse (the grand kids were obsessed with this tiny property!), the historic ground floor and the recently added walk-in shower were perfect! The dock was accessible by a rental boat. It was fascinating watching the tide and the wildlife. It’s hard to summarize what a wonderful time we had at this property! We are planning to return!!

This farmhouse is an ideal location for family get-togethers. The house has endless possibilities to accommodate children and young grandchildren (ages 3-6). The playhouse was a real hit with them where we adults spent much time being entertained. The place is conveniently located to access forest and shoreline hikes, restaurants, groceries, shopping, boat tours out of Boothbay, conservation programs with the Boothbay Region Land Trust, the Botanical Gardens and National Park Monuments. We also took full advantage of the kayaks, cruising around the protected shorelines. The best part of the living accommodations is that this place feels like a home away from home with all the amenities that you need right at your fingertips. Ree (owner) was easy to get in touch with and very responsive to all our concerns.

Great Vacation!

We had a wonderful week at the Hartwell House. The home was large, comfortable, clean and full of character. The owner is extremely responsive, friendly, and generous as demonstrated by amenities that come with house (kayaks, life vests, badminton net, beach umbrella, etc.). Location good for exploring island (especially liked General Store, Cozy Beach, and walking/running/biking loop of Beach/Salt Pond/Dogfish Head Roads) and would have been even better if some nearby places weren't closed during pandemic (e.g., Southport Lobster Pound). Boothbay Harbor is an easy drive as was our day trip to Reid State Park (sandy beach). Kayaking each day in the nearby coves was definitely a highlight of the trip. Thanks so much for a fantastic vacation in a beautiful part of Maine!

Like Coming Home to Maine

This was our third time renting Hartwell House and we always have an incredible time. The house is large and comfortable with a huge living room where the whole family can gather together. Three bathrooms make this place ideal for a family. The lawn down to the water is great for games and evening stargazing. Kayaking was a breeze from the dock. The house had everything we needed and more. I almost hate to rave about Hartwell House because once the secret is out it will be harder to book in the future! Two minor repairs cropped up as will happen in any house and Ree responded very quickly. Such a lovely experience!

Loving the outdoors in Maine

This is a beautiful home which provides easy access to the beautiful Maine coast. The home is spacious and comfortable. It is full of character and well equipped. We were very comfortable, slept well, ate well. We also love the outdoors. Use of kayak's provided great opportunity to see many seals and osprey, a bald eagle fly 20 ft over our heads and we are sure a dolphin (fin and swimming clear but not sure if they are supposed to be in the area). We ended up walking to the General Store for breakfast most mornings (thanks for the breakfast pizza and muffin recommendations). Also had two great day trips to Popham Beach and Camden which were wonderful. We highly recommend this beautiful home for an awesome Maine vacation. Thank you Hartwells for the warm hospitality.

Perfect Getaway

I can’t overstate enough how important it is to have a property owner who is responsive to all questions. Ree made herself immediately available and was instantly responsive to any question or concern we had. We felt completely at home in the property, and the layout of the house allowed for multiple generations to find their own little niches. I grew up further north on the coast of Maine, so this felt like coming home to me. It had the feel of an old farm house, but they updated it to include more modern amenities such as central air. It wasn’t really needed most of the days, but it was nice to have on a few of the scorchers. There were several kayaks available for use, and firewood for the fire pit down by the dock. The kitchen was fully stocked with any kind of cookware imaginable, and and it had the unmistakable feel of an old, Maine country kitchen. This property is the perfect place to go if you want to get away from everything and just relax! Not fancy, but absolutely beautiful.

Maine Paradise

We are just back from the most incredible week in Maine! Ree's house and property is absolutely magical. The house is very well set up for families - with the bedrooms very separate from the kitchen and the living room. We loved that two of the bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs also had a door (to the hallway) separating them from the rest of the house. We were two families so we each had our own areas. We had two 4 year olds and an almost two year old who went completely nuts over the kids house in the backyard - it was a huge draw for us in booking the house and we were right follow that draw! it gave the kids countless hours of entertainment which was a great break for the parents! We all enjoyed picking raspberries on the property and there were enough that we even made a full raspberry crisp. The proximity of the house to the Southport General Store was another amazing perk - we had a pizza night one night and got lunch there for the beach almost every day. It made for easy, charming living. We also enjoyed the kayaks - what an amazing treat to get to explore the Maine coast right from the house. We sincerely hope we can come back to this house for summers to come!! Thank you Ree!

This is a GORGEOUS piece of property and a wonderful, comfortable home that we thoroughly enjoyed. The kitchen and big, roomy living room are delightful gathering places for inside time; and the lawn and patio and dock are equally great outdoor spaces. We didn't really want to leave the property very much. It is wonderful to have kayaks right at the house and all sorts of great places to explore in the kayaks. The house is fully equipped beyond all expectations. When we did leave the property, Southport Island and the surrounding area were just wonderful. Great restaurants on Southport and in Boothbay Harbor and the Botanical Gardens are really great to explore. We had a wonderful day trip to Monhegan Island for some beautiful seaside hiking. Wonderful week! We hated to leave.

Wonderful water access and spacious lawn for games

THis was a wonderful home for a family reunion of 3 generations. We all loved the provided kayaks, also the fact that at low tide, sure-footed people could walk on some rocks down to the water’s edge (unlike some properties which are quite high off the water). The home was spacious and provided many sleeping options. I liked the fact that the kitchen, center of gathering & conversation was at one end of the house while most bedrooms were in middle, or other end, thus early risers could talk over coffee without disturbing sleepers. There is an “authenticity” to the place, in that it’s furnished with keepsakes reflecting several generations-worth of items, some of which reminded me of my own mother’s things (this house is not strictly staged for tourists - it’s filled with treasures from a lifetime of enjoyment). We enjoyed badminton on the lawn, also croquet (we happened to bring our own set along), some inside games, walking to the Southport general store for breakfast pizza (a MUST, even if it doesn’t immediately sound appealing - you’ll enjoy it), walking to Hendrick’s head beach, walking to Cozy Cove. Though roads do not have sidewalks, on this part of the island, drivers are careful & watchful for pedestrians, so we felt walking was a good way to get to these places. The owners recommended Robinsons restaurant, where we went for our last dinner out, eating up on the deck & watching lobsters being delivered by boats. Otherwise, the house’s kitchen was amply equipped to do our own cooking. An outdoor grill is also provided. There is plenty of parking space too. I highly recommend this home.

Summer at the Hartwell

We had an amazing week at the Hartwell house. We look forward to coming back. It is on a beautiful cove setting with large back yard for running and playing. We loved how spacious and comfortable the house was. And the jam was amazing we all bout several jars to bring home. We rented a boat for the week, fishing, kayaking, swimming from the dock. Thank you !! Until next time.

A vacation to remember!

We loved the Hartwell House so much! We celebrated my Mother-in-laws birthday with a small family reunion and this home was the perfect location. Our family felt very comfortable here, and the property was amazing. Being so close to Booth Bay was fun for everyone (ages ranging 10-79). This is the perfect Maine home.

Wonderful vacation!

My friends, their families, and I all had a wonderful vacation at the Hartwell house! The house is lovely, the owners are very kind, and the location is beautiful, and offers the best of both a small Maine town and the bustle of a larger, neighboring town of Boothbay. One of my favorite aspects of this vacation was the kayaking—the rental provided six kayaks and there were beautiful places to kayak within short distance of the dock.

Family vacation with something for everyone

What a fabulous house. So warm and homey and the setting is FABULOUS. Right on a cove. Inexperienced kyackers can learn on the quiet cove in front of the house and the more experienced can go into the ocean or just go along the shore and see the beautiful homes and scenery. The grandkids love the playhouse and huge lawn to play games. In the evening you can come into a huge family room with a wonderful fireplace. A perfect ending to a perfect day. A real family experience with something to do for everyone.

Wonderful and Charming House to Spend Summer Days

The Hartwell House was everything we could've hoped for- and more! My husband, three children and I stayed here over the summer and it was such a wonderful experience. The owners are so nice and were very easy to communicate with. The house has amazing views of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and we could see them from almost every room in the house. The living room is large and very cozy. We spent many evenings watching family movies and playing games. The kitchen has a lot of counter space so we could cook lobster dinners and many other meals. The bedrooms all have character and the beds were all very comfortable. All three of my children fell in LOVE with the playhouse on the property, which we found out was built by the owners themselves! The playhouse has a set of built-in bunkbeds, a granite countertop, and a mini fridge and freezer. I was served many "meals" from my girls :) The patio is nice and large and includes a table, chairs, and a grill. There is a large lawn that rolls down towards the water- perfect for family kickball! One of my favorite things we got to do while at the house was take multiple kayak rides off of the house's dock. The kayaks are included in the rental, and we got to paddle all around the cove. The house is also a two minute drive to Hendricks Head Beach which we spent a lot of time at. Boothbay Harbor (a ten minute drive from the house) was bustling every time we went in, and they have everything from candy shops to used book stores. In the end, we absolutely loved staying at the Hartwell House- we couldn't have asked for anything better :) The whole family cannot wait for our time up there next year.

Charming and comfortable summer cottage

My family has rented this lovely Maine house for the past four summers. Located on Southport Island, the house has wonderful access to everything Boothbay Harbor has to offer. The house is perched above a quiet cove with gorgeous views of the water from bedrooms, kitchen and the large, comfy den. We enjoyed many afternoons on the pretty patio and watched beautiful sunsets from the lawn. An expansive lawn stretches down to the water and dock, perfect for letting children run and play. Raspberry bushes produce fruit in July, which provides a fun family activity. We actually collected enough raspberries two summers to a make cobblers! If you choose, you can kayak around some of the small islands which is lots of fun. This past summer we saw harbor seals and playful dolphins while kayaking just minutes from the cove! This house provides both life jackets and kayaks without any additional charge (which is a huge plus)! Also, my youngest child fell in love with the adorable playhouse...spending hours playing in it each day. All of the bedrooms are nicely decorated and cared for and have comfortable beds in them. Plenty of blankets are available for chilly nights. The den is a nice large size that can accommodate families playing games and relaxing at night. Plenty of books, games and puzzles are available. The den also has a fireplace, desk, daybed and a nice large plate glass window that looks out to the water. I loved the charming country kitchen with a view down to the water and out to the side yard. We cooked many of our meals in this kitchen and found it to be the right size for a family of six, with everything we needed from lobster pots to coffee maker. Also, there is a nice grill out on the patio that we used to grill fish and steaks. The island has a general store, library and two great waterfront restaurants and there are many more just a 5 - 10 minute drive. Also, you will find a hiking trail on the island down by the low water beach, Hendricks Head Beach. The owners have provided friendly customer service, responding promptly when ever we had questions. There is a caretaker who lives nearby who also promptly came out to the house the few times we needed his assistance. Bottom line: This home has so much character and is so comfortable, that I cannot imagine a better summer rental on the island.
