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.

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.
