I hesitate to write a review because I want this place all to myself. It was the most perfect time, ever. We walked to the beach everyday and spent the evenings reading in front of the fire. The kids had do much fun crabbing and jumping from the "island". We cooked/grilled at the house most days, but Boothbay harbor is an easy drive and there is lots of sites to explore. I grew up spending every summer of my childhood in Boothbay. It's so nice seeing my kids enjoy the same thing. The house was everything we could possibly want. Oh...yes, there is internet access, but I told my kids there wasn't any. Thank you so much for an amazing time. we've already requested for next year.

The hosts were very nice. The cottage was a great place to spend a week in the woods. Quiet and relaxing location. Short walk to the dog friendly beach. Highly recommended !!

We loved the property. It is in a great location for a quiet family vacation yet also near to various activities. Our kids are 6&8 and they loved playing in the woods as well as the beach nearby.

Exactly what I was looking for. Relaxing, yet close to boothbay for food, shopping and fun.

First, VRBO had wifi on the list of items available. It is NOT. NOT on the property. 7 minutes one way, 12 minutes another. Hoping next year it's available on the property, or closer by. Otherwise, owners are friendly and helpful. Place was amazing, in that a comfortable cottage, really good kitchen and bathroom, situated in the woods, with a view of the water, and an amazing beach to walk to. Good prices. Overall very good experience, totally enjoyable.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The cabin is up in the trees, so it was cooler than the surrounding area. It has lots of space, and anything you could want for cooking in the kitchen. I didn't realize until I heard from the owner two weeks before my stay that I would need to being my own bed linens and towels. Also, the refrigerator contained only a few condiments. Not a problem, as I usually get my own before I arrive, and prefer not to use other people's items. The walk to the beach really is only 5 minutes, and it's dog friendly! A little on the rocky side, but one can find a place to sit. My son swam to the small islands to explore during lower tides. All in all, it was a nice stay.

Close enough to town, but faraway enough to be peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Perfect for families with kids- the 12 and 10 yr olds with us spent nearly every waking hour beach combing and climbing the rocks at the beach. @peace&quiet4adults!The cottage was easy to keep clean, well equipped and tucked back off the road. The high point for me was seeing all the Osprey nests and hearing the song of a Swainson's thrush each morning and evening. Oh, and the lobsters we ate every single day- fabulous. Fortunately, none of the 3 kids we brought liked seafood--chicken strips are cheaper than lobster. The one cool, rainy day we had was spent at the Southport Island library and Boothbay Harbor. We also really enjoyed the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse.There is a Southport Association that has formed to preserve some island properties and develop them for educational and historical purposes. Bravo!Our hosts were very gracious and if you stay here, be sure to visit Oliver's restaurant.Thanks, Susan, for the restful week that my sister and I were hoping for.
