Cedar Cove: a tranquil retreat on the water just minutes from Boothbay Harbor

This is a wonderful home in a quiet area of Southport, ME just a few minutes from Boothbay Harbor and just a short drive to Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. It was perfect for our group of three generations: grandparents, parents, and kids (two of each). We appreciated the room darkening shades that make getting good sleep that much easier--being in Maine has a lot to do with being relaxed, too! The kitchen is well fitted out and there is a grill on the deck. Everything you need. The house has two and a half bathrooms and the three bedrooms worked well--kids enjoyed the bunk bed room.Rebecca responds quickly to questions and is a helpful host. Don't hesitate to book this wonderful property!

The home was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We found time to just relax on the back deck with a beverage while enjoying the breeze through the trees as we gazed out onto the lovely little cove. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and all the gadgets you might need, and the pantry was very well supplied. Rebecca was very responsive to all communications. We were also able to take walks to the end of Capitol Island and take in the sea breeze. The home is also conveniently located with a short drive to Boothbay Harbor and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Highly recommend staying here!

Location amazing, house cozy and host easy to communicate with and kind.

Excellent, would recommend!

Excellent!

The home is quite comfortable. Beautiful views of the cove. Minutes from Boothbay Harbor. Quick replies from the host.

Very clean, location was quiet and convenient (easy access to Boothbay, Robinson's, and CMBG), kitchen very nice. Pet friendly too. Manager comm was good. Downstairs queen bunk beds are awkward as they are built-in against the wall so they can really only accommodate 1 person each.

We cannot say enough good things about this property and its owners! Not only is it close to so many great things, but it is a respite in and of itself. The view is gorgeous and the house was immaculate and the most well appointed and stocked home we’ve ever rented. It was also perfect for our little one! You will not regret staying here! Thank you to our kind hosts.

Second year at Cedar Cove for good reasons. Comfortable home - good location - understanding & pleasant owner/host.

My husband and I and our golden retriever had an absolutely glorious two weeks at Cedar Cove and hosted first our daughter, son-in-law, and three young grandkids and later my brother and his partner. The house and deck overlook a stunning and peaceful cove visited by herons, ospreys, gulls, and cormorants and there is water access less than ¼ mile away. The interior is beautifully designed for both communal celebrations and for privacy; the kitchen features new appliances and everything necessary for cooking and entertaining. The location is very private but is also minutes from Boothbay Harbor restaurants and attractions. We took the grandkids on their first schooner adventure and they also loved Hendrick’s Head Beach in Southport. It was a very hard place to leave!

Lovely location right on a quiet cove on Southport Island. House was well equipped and the grounds were shady. The kitchen especially was well equipped with plenty of pans, dishes, and a gas range with 4 eyes plus a griddle. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for relaxing both inside and outside. Highly recommend.

Our family spent 10 days at this property. We made many meals while there in a very well stocked kitchen and were able to store many items in the refrigerator/ freezer. The outdoor porch area had great patio chairs and a wonderful picnic table to sit at. The living room allowed us time and adequate space for a family movie night with popcorn. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The large set back from the road and yard area gave the kids a place to blow bubbles, lick a soccer ball and play together in the nice weather. Rebecca was a very communicative host throughout the process. There was a lot of serenity to this special property. This place in Maine was a special place for us to stay with a quick drive into Boothbay Harbor. We enjoyed our visit!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful Maine retreat. The property was even more stunning in person—peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by natural beauty. Whether we were sipping coffee on the deck, watching the sun set over the water, or exploring the nearby coastal towns, everything about our time here felt relaxing and special.The home had everything we needed and offered the perfect balance of comfort and character. The location was ideal—tucked away enough to feel like a true escape, but still close to great restaurants, local activities and charming small-town attractions.Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene and scenic getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay in Maine! The home is in a fantastic location—perfect for relaxing on the deck and taking in the beautiful view. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy nights in. For anyone needing to work a bit while away, the dedicated office off the upstairs master bedroom is a great setup. Tucked just off the main road, the house offers a peaceful retreat from the busier tourist areas, yet it's only a short drive to Boothbay Harbor. We appreciate homeowners who allow dogs as they are part of our family too and it made for a wonderful vacation.

I really enjoyed staying at this property in Southport, ME with my family. The rear deck is a treat and the views wonderful. This property has every modern convenience.Nestled in a wooded area this property is new with modern kitchen and bathrooms. This may not be the ideal locations for families with small children, the master bedroom is on the 2nd floor and the other 2 bedrooms on the ground/first floor.When we reserved this property, we were not aware it was pet friendly. This may have been our error, I'm not sure!The pre clean before we arrived was lacking. There were pet hairs on the furniture and beds, especially the sofa!! We needed to wash bed covers on arrival and use a lint roller on the sofa. No working vacuum in the unit.The owner was responsive and provided a credit for the cleaning.

A beautiful spot and a convenient location to Boothbay Harbor. We had a lovely weekend staying at this beautiful home to attend a wedding nearby. A fairly private location in a neighborhood setting which was perfect for us with a dog. If we ever come this way again, we would love to stay here again.

We love boothbay and this was a very nice new home to stay, conveniently located close to town and resturants. We visited to relax over the new years and it did nit disappoint. Will surely stay again, summer this time, to enjoy the outdoors and water view. yhe ou

This house does not disappoint. We had a comfortable stay and greatly enjoyed this house. We were close to downtown Boothbay and the Gardens Aglow. This property is waterfront.

We had a fantastic time there with our pup on our honeymoon. The view was remarkable and the communication with the owner was transparent and clear. We loved the house and would definitely consider going back! Perfect location, beautiful memories!

Our trip was 7 days at a beautiful home with high end finishes and appliances, the home is located in Southport near The delightful sea side village of Boothbay Harbor in a waterfront pine grove accented by poplar and maple trees. Fall color was throughout the area. This was our 4th fall visit to the area and ranked as the best. Home was accurately described in the listing. We are looking forward to the opportunity to rent again. Communication with the owner was fast and accurate.

Cedar Cove is a waterfront property on a quiet cove - in part because it is not a navigable waterway. But a nice view from the deck and indoor dining space.The main floor Great Room/dining/well-appointed kitchen were light and airy as was the upstairs primary bedroom. A General Store is less than a 10 minute drive across the island, and the location of this house is convenient enough to get to Boothbay Harbor quickly. Rebecca was very responsive both prior to and during our stay. Have stayed in several other Southport properties; this was the best one for sure!

A very comfortable home which was well suited for our family (6 adults). Quiet setting, privacy, bird activity.
