Sweet Maine cottage—relaxing stay

We loved Johanna’s family cottage! It was very homey and old fashioned, and it obviously belonged to a family who love it! The porch was great for drinking coffee in the morning or wine at night. The kitchen was well equipped. Johanna was very helpful with great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Southport revisited

We’ve always loved the BoothBay area, but haven’t visited since Covid. What a relief to see that the area is still downright lovely. The early fall weather suited us as were escaping Florida perpetual summer heat. The cottage supplied with everything we could want save lobster served each night. The bed was cozy, the water hot, the views outstanding and the steps helped work off our treats. Our hosts answered our moving in day concerns promptly. Hope to return again.

Quaint cottage in Maine; would stay again

This cottage in Southport Maine was perfect for a weekend away from the city with friends. We used it as a basecamp to explore Boothbay Harbor. Pros: Kitchen had everything we needed to make big meals together, gorgeous view of the water from porch, beds were comfy (at least mine was), showers were hot, and the house was clean. Also loved the marine themed decoration and family feel. Tips: Finding the parking and cottage up the hill was confusing so be sure to get directions. Also we couldn't get the wifi to work.

Serene Southport Cottage

What a fabulous time we had at this beautiful cottage! Johanna was very communicative, her directions to find the path were detailed and we had no issue finding our way. We immediately fell in love with this charming cottage as soon as we stepped inside. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with all the cook and serveware we could ever need. The beds have high quality mattresses and we slept very soundly each night. The deck looking out at Capitol island was large with plenty of seating for our friends to visit. The view is absolutely stunning. We cannot wait to return. It was perfect in every way.

Johanna was an excellent host

My family came up for a 3 night stay in Maine. Johanna was a super host. She was attentive, provided great communication and was very hospitable. The cabin is charming and has a great view of the water. The layout is different with all bedrooms on one floor and the bathroom on the main floor. Everything she says in the description is accurate. Our only issue with our stay was the heat. It was very hot during our stay (90+ degrees) - so it took the cabin a bit of time to cool down. We opened all the windows and The fans in the room helped too. Overall, this is a good place.

My family and I enjoyed the comfy cabin. Great view and location. Not for anyone with mobility issues. Path to cabin is not paved; steps to bedrooms upstairs are steep, slippery if you're wearing socks.

Rustic coastal cabin

The house was clean, comfortable, and was everything we needed for our long weekend. The pathway to the cabin could be marked better and needs lighting, which we were made aware of prior to our stay. We enjoyed our time with our grandkids as we were in the island for a wedding.

A Charming Old Cottage in a Beautiful Setting

We loved everything about the well equipped and comfortable cottage. Minutes from Boothbay afforded us a great jumping off spot for the exploration of surrounding areas. The feel and smell of an old cottage brought back rich memories of the past. The sunsets on the point of the island were lovely. We would highly recommend this property.

This is not a waterfront property - it is a water view only.

This cottage is quaint, and cozy. The location is nice, but there is no water access. The pictures are not quite accurate. The stairs leading down to the waterfront lead to a roped off dead end trail. Unfortunately the view from the deck is blocked quite a bit by overgrown trees. If you know this going in, it's a nice place to stay.

Cute, clean, and cozy oceanview cottage

Very cute oceanview cottage with spacious living area and comfy bedrooms. It is a bit of a hike with lots of stairs to get in, but adds to the privacy and quaintness of the place. Wish we could have accessed the water from the property.

Serene in Southport

Joanna has clearly put a lot of time and care into organizing the cottage and making everything comfortable for the guests. There was no water access because the dock was not out so that was disappointing but everything else was wonderful, including our day trip to Monhegan Island. I would recommend this personable quaint cozy and well thought out cottage.

Nice cottage for getaway with Great view of Ocean

The cottage is a nice place to get away and relax. The Deck and livingroom over look two other island and the ocean between them. It is in a hill and does not have a grasses lawn or other outdoor space besides the deck. Lots of great adventure place to see and go. We loved the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Boothbay Habor is great for wandering and looks. Joanne was very easy to work with.

Quaint and cozy

Joanna was an excellent hostess. The directions and check in were timely and accurate. The cottage is cozy and quaint. Joanna provided all the needed amenities for our stay. The one thing we could’ve used was maybe a fan or two just to get some air circulating. The view was fantastic and location was perfect for what we wanted to do. Thank you Joanna!
