Solitude abounds at this idyllic Southport OCEANFRONT home-5 mins from the beach

Let it all go! Come here for peace and respite. Welcome to quintessential Maine summer living! Enjoy stunning ocean views and cool summer breezes at this very private and quaint seasonal home! This is a very comfortable, cozy, and classic retreat that is newly painted with new furnishings and is well appointed for your vacation needs. All bedrooms have new mattresses and bedding that will ensure a good night's sleep. Living room has a new large sectional. Linens and bath towels provided. Bring your own beach towels. Sip your morning coffee or have a picnic lunch in Adirondack chairs on the accessible rocky ledge. A covered deck offers shade without losing the sights and sounds of the coastal magic. Two chaise lounge chairs as well as two tables for outdoor eating are additional options for outdoor enjoyment. Four bicycles are available to be shared amongst guests at Cedarbush Stuga and our other vacation rental, Cozy Harbor Stuga. Please bring your own helmets.

Walk or bike to scenic Hendrick's Head Beach, a beautiful sandy beach with a small climbable outcrop called Kitten Island, in 5 minutes where you can swim, build sandcastles and explore tide pools at low tide. The Southport General Store, a local gathering spot with outdoor picnic tables, is also a 5 minute walk and offers not only breakfast pizzas, deli sandwiches and baked goods, but a carefully curated stock of hand-picked wines, beers, and ciders and more. For a leisurely wooded landscape walk, explore Hendrick's Head Preserve with an easy 1/2 mile loop for bird watching and nature photography. Shopping, restaurants, boat tours and more summer activities are a 12 minute scenic drive to Boothbay Harbor across the historic Southport Swing Bridge. A visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, the largest botanical garden in New England, is a must see as you will experience the exquisite beauty of Northern coastal horticulture and the giant trolls!

Lovely ocean views
We had a lovely week in this waterfront home. We enjoyed the views and the kids loved playing on the rocks out back. It was a nice location and short walk to Hendricks beach and the General Store.

Beautiful view and spacious space
The house is overlooking the water so the view is great. Bathrooms and kitchen are well kept but show age. Sink space is small in both bathrooms. There is no dishwasher in the kitchen and tenants are supposed to clean the dishes themselves when they leave. This means the new tenants are at the mercy of the previous tenants. In our case some utensils had to be rewashed because of food stains. I think a dishwasher would help a lot.The house is big and can accommodate 8 people but there isn’t a big outdoor table for dining outside. Overall we had a lovely stay despite the issues mentioned above.

Roomy Southport Cottage
All 4 bedrooms were very nice and 2 of those were very large. Beds and bedding very comfortable. Kitchen is small, we didn’t plan on doing very much cooking so it was all we needed. It was a handy having a washer and dryer! Living room and dining areas worked well for our group of 5. Beautiful water views. Short walk to the beach and the general store and just a 12 min drive in to BoothBay Harbor.

A Special Quiet Place
This is a beautiful, quiet property. Amazing views from many rooms and the deck. The Adirondeck chairs on the water were heavenly. The mattresses and bedding were all high end and very comfortable. The kitchen was really well appointed. The decor was charming with lots of nautical themes. The owners were warm, welcoming and available. The walks to Hendrick's head beach were enjoyed by all.

Home in Southport
This house is ideally located walking distance to Hendricks beach, Southport General Store and the Cozy Harbor restaurant. Such a magic spot and well appointed, comfortable home. It was amazing to wake up every morning and look out on the sea.

Multi-generational getaway
I loved this place! It had almost everything we needed and a lot of it was not called out in the listing. The rooms were large with plenty of space to lounge and dine. The view is gorgeous! I could have spent 2 weeks.
