A beautiful vacation spot for a family group looking out over Boothbay Harbor and neighboring islands. This antique Maine oceanside cottage includes a private dock great for kayaking and boating as well as a fantastic back deck to relax and enjoy the views. The cottage sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms and also includes 1 and a half baths. The cottage was featured in the March 2019 issue of the Maine Magazine!
Noteworthy is the land and dock immediately to the right of the cottage as you look at the water. This dock is the private association dock for the neighborhood, but only a few neighbors actually use it. So, this property not only has access to its dock immediately in front of it, but also the neighboring community dock. Finally, it offers a convenient location to unpack your car upon arrival.
Griffin Cottage is located on a quiet one lane private road only 2 and half miles from downtown Boothbay Harbor, 1 mile from the Southport General Store and 2 miles from the Hendricks Head Beach and Lighthouse. Robinson's Wharf - which has the Restaurant & Tugs Pub, a Gift Shop, and Seafood Market, as well as an ice cream stand, is within a short half mile walk from this property.

We had a very relaxing and restful stay. Our favorite feature was of course the amazing views from the deck and the dock! While we loved the place, some may find it a bit too rustic.

Griffin Cottage was a beautiful spot on the ocean. We loved spending time on the deck and being so close to Boothbay Harbor. The house was charming and comfortable with good-sized bedrooms and amazing views of the water.

As always we loved griffin cottage. It has become a home away from home for two weeks each summer. Unfortunately because of a physical problem with my husband he could only stay one week but our son and wife came some of the time.

Our stay at the Griffin Cottage was more than perfect. I could not have found a better place to stay! From the moment you wake up by the peaceful seagulls, and soft waves hitting against the rocks, and the sound of the squeaking dock to the moment you place your head on the pillow, the experience is surreal. We enjoyed the close proximity to boothbay harbor, where we could rent kayaks, and go aboard the Whale Watch. The property offered a great tidal pool area for kids, and a great place to unpack and pack up the car. In the morning, you can easily walk to the Southport General Store to buy breakfast pizza, and enjoy it by the dock. We LOVE Griffin Cottage.

We loved our week at Griffin Cottage. It is a beautiful spot on Southport Island, with a view over all of Boothbay harbor, and right on the water. The house is charming and for the most part very comfortable and well appointed.
We did find the second bedroom rather uncomfortable-mattress could be improved but the big problem the person who used it said was no place to put a suitcase or clothing. The master bedroom was lovely! The room with twin beds would only have been adequate for children. The TV instructions were inadequate. We had great difficult figuring it out.

Emily greeted us as we arrived at the cottage - a lovely surprise and made for an easy check in and orientation to the cottage. She is "a natural" for her job and a positive representative for the company. The Griffin Cottage focal point for us was the expansive deck with very comfortable furniture; comfortable living room and fairly well equipped kitchen.
