Property Description
DOGS PERMITTED? Sorry, dogs are not permitted at this property.
One of On the Water in Maine's "Top 10" properties, this classic 1907 cottage is the perfect blend of traditional Maine charm and modern amenities, with an updated kitchen, two remodeled bathrooms, modern appliances, new furnishings, and its own private dock. Enjoy magnificent views of Boothbay Harbor, the local islands, and all the boating activity from the porch, or head out on the water right from your dock. It's the perfect Maine experience!
This cottage offers something for the whole family, and you may never want to leave! But if you do, the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, just over a mile away, offers sailing and tennis lessons for non-members, including adult sailing classes (visit the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club website for details). There are also whale watching tours, the Maine State Aquarium, and the beautiful Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to explore. The closest restaurant, Robinson's Wharf on nearby Southport Island, has a pub, seafood market, and ice cream takeout just 1.2 miles away (about a 20-minute walk).
JUNIPER POINT VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY: For an additional fee, guests can purchase a weekly membership to the Juniper Point Village Improvement Society, available to those staying on Juniper Point and McKown Point. Membership includes two boating docks, a beach with a swimming float, walking paths, four clay tennis courts (lessons available), and community events at the Community House, like lobster bakes, family field day, potlucks, and ice cream socials. It's a wonderful way to meet the community and enjoy the amenities around your rental!
BOATS INCLUDED? None; however, kayaks and paddleboards can be rented from Maine Kayak on the Boothbay Harbor waterfront, and power and sail boats from West Harbor Recreation.
