About this property
A Cozy Retreat on Southport Island
This cute-as-a-button waterfront cottage is located on Southport Island across the swing bridge from Boothbay Harbor. `Periwinkle` sparkles with fresh coastal decor and hardwood floors throughout. The first of two bedrooms offers the option of a king-size bed or two extra-long twins. The second bedroom has one twin bed. The living room has a full-size sleeper sofa. There is one AC window unit and fans.

The covered porch and boathouse deck provide perfect places to relax while watching the bridge open for passing boats and listening to live music from Robinson`s Wharf across the cove. Walk there to dine in, or take out lobsters, other Down East offerings, and landlubbers` fare.
Harbor Choice Laundry is 3 miles away. There is limited counter space in the kitchen, but a nook just behind the kitchen offers additional storage. There is not a dishwasher.
Points of interest within approximately 2-4 miles include Dogfish Head Beach and Hendrick`s Head Lighthouse, Boothbay Harbor (dining, shopping, boat tours, golf, YMCA), Maine State Aquarium, and Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
Guests have access to the entire cottage and dock.
We will meet you upon arrival to transfer keys and give a quick tour. We are available 24/7 during your stay.
Hendrick`s Head Beach is about a 2 mile drive on the island and offers a view of Hendrick`s Head Lighthouse. Downtown Boothbay Harbor is also 2 miles in the other direction. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is about 4 miles away.
IMPORTANT:
Instead of placing a security deposit hold on your card, we include a small, non-refundable $25 damage waiver in the reservation total—so your funds remain available throughout your trip. This Waiver covers damages up to $300.
• Quiet hours are 9:00 PM – 9:00 AM. Please respect our neighbors at all times.
• Maximum occupancy is as shown on the listing. Additional guests are subject to $25/person/night and may result in cancellation if excessive.
• A mandatory, non-refundable damage waiver is included in your reservation total in place of a security deposit. Guests remain responsible for damage exceeding coverage or resulting from negligence or rule violations.
• Pets are not allowed at this property. Unauthorized pets may result in additional fees or cancellation. ADA Compliant Service Animals are permitted.
• No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property (indoors or outdoors).
• Open flames (fireplaces, fire pits, etc.) require prior written approval.
