About this property

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

Cedar Cove was completed in 2023 and designed for tranquility: find yourself surrounded by woods and water, in a beautiful section of Southport Island, not far from beaches or marinas. Wood floors and siding allows the home to blend in, in its location, and you'll find all the necessary modern amenities (new washer, dryer, stove, fridge, work space and smart TVs) inside.

The home is just minutes from multiple restaurants on Southport, and is just 10 minutes from Boothbay Harbor, a lively town with great restaurants, shops, activities, live music and much more.

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.

A beautiful home with a gorgeous water view

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.

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.

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 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.
A nice night for a fire!

Absolutely perfect!

Such a cute, new cabin-in-the-woods like feel but right on a salt water bay. The view of the water is so serene, and the home is very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen has everything you might need to make dinner. Our family loved Southport Island! We went for walks and a enjoyed just driving around and admiring the costal towns around. Definitely would stay again!

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful new home with a water view, the deck was a perfect place to sit and have morning coffee or evening drinks. Well equipped kitchen for when we wanted to stay in and cook but close enough to restaurants and bars for when we wanted to go out. Great parks with walking trails were 20-30 minutes away. Our hosts were very responsive. Thank you. Great place to stay.

Breathtaking!

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!

Awesome, tranquil cove water front location

Beautiful cove front property nestled amongst pine trees. We breathed in wonderfully clean air while enjoying our dailey morning coffee on the waterfront deck. The location was perfect for enjoying the serenity of the area while being a short 1 to 4 mile drive to great restaurants for lobster rolls and other local seafood. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Hosts were very kind and responsive. We will definitely come back!

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!

Relaxing vacation spot

We loved our Southport vacation. Cedar Cove is updated and very clean inside. It has a beautiful view of the water from the deck but no direct access to the water from the property, though there is water access about 5-10 minute walk down the road. The beds are comfortable and there was plenty of space for our group of 4 adults, 3 teens and a dog. The kitchen Hassan everything we needed. It’s a quick drive to Boothbay harbor and there’s a very cute mini market on the island less than 5 minutes drive away.

Heaven in Southport

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.

Peaceful Escape

What a wonderful week we just spent in this newly built retreat. The view was incredible—we soaked up every minute that we could on the lovely porch. The house has a great feel—uncluttered, yet with a personable and comfortable touch. The setting is so peaceful, and the neighborhood is so picturesque. Our daily strolls down the island road were a highlight of our time. The location is fantastic—plenty of privacy and quiet, but a short drive from all that Boothbay Harbor has to offer. We highly recommend booking a stay—we’re already dreaming of our next Maine getaway!

Windjammer Festival

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!

Beautiful new home. Quiet area a short drive from Boothbay Harbor.

Beautiful new property with plenty of room with 3 bedrooms and 21/2 baths. The view of the water is very peaceful. We were disappointed that the cove is not navigable. The cove is damned with a sluice gate so does not connect with the water beyond the cove. We had our paddle board with us so had to walk it a ways to put in the water.
