Perfect for a family
This charming cottage was perfect for our family of 4- The location was peaceful and convenient, the home was beautiful, and the host was responsive. We were in Southport to visit family- so the location was great for our needs. We didn’t spend much time at the house, but it was welcoming to come home to each evening! We were able to bring our small dog with us which was very helpful.Visit Cozy’s for amazing food right around the corner- and on the water! (Try the sweet n spicy hot dogs!!)The Southport store has delicious breakfast sandwiches, coffee, an incredibly kind crew- and fun gifts as well! We visited the sweet lady with the little antique shop - just a few houses up the road- and found a couple of treasures. A memorable mini vacation to kick off summer. Thank you!

Cute, cozy escape to Southport
My family and I really enjoyed this cute cottage on Southport. The host was extremely accommodating and the property had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. Our questions were addressed promptly prior to our visit and the couple of concerns we raised after checking in were immediately dealt with. We loved the considerations made for welcoming our 3 year old between the extensive kids books and toys / games. Thanks so much for welcoming us with open arms! We would love to come back.

Lovely stay in Southport
We were two couples and the house worked out great for us. Being a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay was nice. The local restaurant was delicious and being able to eat near the water was great. Excellent communication with the host!
