Redbird Cottage is perched near the top of a hill overlooking Linekin Bay. The well-loved house exudes comfort and the sense of family. It accommodates 6 adults comfortably.
Your favorite place to enjoy the view and our wonderful ocean breeze will be the wrap-around porch. Pick a place to relax in sun or shade and you will be greeted with birdsong from many varieties of feathered friends. The osprey, sea gulls and even eagles soaring overhead will distract you from the good book you mayhave settled down to read.
A morning stroll will take you down the hill to the General Store where many gourmet delights await you. Try a breakfast pizza, then take your coffee back to the town dock to watch the boats come in and out of the busy little harbor. Some guests have been known to take a dip off the dock on a nice day.
Back at home, Redbird's kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and appliances for meal prep. A gas grill sits on the side deck waiting to help you show off your grilling prowess.
There is a large family dining table that seats 8 and looks out on the front porch with the bay view beyond or enjoy the glass top dining table which is ideal for appetizers or meals on the porch.
The living room provides plenty of spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Games are provided for guests of all ages and there is a cable TV, and DVD/VHS player. On a cool evening, pop some corn, flick on the gas fireplace, and choose a movie from the large selection of older classics we have kept for your enjoyment.
There is a small room off the living room with a piano for those who enjoy playing, and a day bed which is perfect for grabbing a nap on a lazy afternoon.
The downstairs bathroom has a stall shower, and a stacked washer/ dryer for your convenience.
There is a full bathroom with tub/shower on the second floor and three bedrooms consisting of 2 ocean-view rooms, one with a double bed, and one with 2 twins. The third bedroom is fitted with a queen bed as well as a day bed (perfect for parents with a young child).
Redbird is a wonderful base for many activities such as hiking and exploring myriad trails and nature preserves, or visiting neighboring towns and beautiful areas on or off the peninsula.
Be sure to experience Ocean Point which is a 10-minute drive from the cottage. Here you can walk or drive a 2.5mile loop, stopping here and there to walk down to the water's edge, sit on the rocks to soak up the views, or stop and chat with local residents out working in their gorgeous flower gardens. Don't miss it! You will want to go back.
East Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are working fishing and lobstering villages and while both are summer communities, the Harbor is livelier by far because of the many restaurants, shops and boating opportunities. Consider a whale watch, an island clambake, a visit to the Botannical Gardens, or an excursion boat ride around the harbor islands or to Monhegan Island to spend the day. The possibilities are endless and, best of all, at the close of your day, you will return to your home-away-from-home, Redbird Cottage.

    The check-in was perfect and seamless. Cherie left notes explaining absolutely everything we might need to know. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable and we felt right at home. The view of Linekin Bay to the ocean is truly spectacular from the wrap-around porches! We had everything we needed there for the perfect Maine vacation and hope to return again next year!

    I often stay at Boothbay in different VRBO homes but none like Cheries! I've never been in a home that had every and anything that you could possibly want. The home was also immaculate. She is very very detailed and will make sure that you know everything about the house and actually loves to meet her guests she's definitely one in a million !!!Cherie literally feels like family and we only met her once.

    We loved our stay at beautiful Redbird Cottage! This was our first time visiting Maine and Cherie made us feel welcome right from the start! Thank you, Cherie, for the gift bag with local goodies and recommendations for places and food, and checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. We did! You provided everything and more! I took full advantage of the breathtaking views from the front porch every morning with coffee and the incredible sunsets every evening. And a bit of rain on the tin roof was a bonus! The home was warm and inviting and Cherie is truly a wonderful and gracious hostess. We look forward to our next visit!

    This cozy cottage with its wonderful wrap around porch and incredible views of the harbor was the perfect place for our vacation. The house was equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable. We cooked many of our meals there and always found what we needed in the well stocked kitchen. Our host was easy to contact and she made sure we had what we needed. Her suggestions for local attractions were very helpful and the location of the house made it easy to visit so many of these interesting places. Great memories were made on our perfect Maine vacation!

    We've stayed at numerous places in Boothbay Harbor, and Redbird Nest is right up there with the best of them. Cherie's home is a cozy retreat nestled on the shoreline hills with wonderful views of Linekin Bay. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics and a few things you wouldn't expect. Cherie is a thoughtful and accommodating who provides everything you will need to relax at home or explore the area. Our stay was just a long weekend, but it wasn't long enough! We will definitely be back! (Check out the East Boothbay General Store. We ordered the lobster roll the haddock chowder -- both were amazing!)
