About this property

Charming Plumpoint Cottage On Southport Island

Enjoy the serenity of beautiful Southport Island in a classic Maine cottage with a peek at Decker's Cove. Walk to Robinson's Wharf lobster pound to enjoy dinner on the pier, an ice cream cone or, bring fresh caught fish back to the cottage to cook yourself. Drive two miles to Hendrick's Head sand beach on the island or to downtown Boothbay Harbor. Go 2 miles in another direction and you're at the Maine Botanical Gardens where you can spend the day hiking along the river through some of the Mid Coast's most breathtaking scenery.

Plumpoint Cottage has a fully equipped eat in kitchen, living room with cable TV and free WiFi, two bedrooms, a 3 season room with TV and a cozy game room with a collection of vintage games and puzzles.The cottage is on a quiet side street that is used as a local walking path around the cove.

There is a gas grill in the backyard and a deck on the shed where you can sit and enjoy a peek at the cove.

There is a 3 night minimum in the off season and 7 night minimum during July and August. I can occasionally rent for two or three nights in season when there is a space between longer rents. That is determined on a case by case basis.

Perfect Boothbay Cottage

My husband and our toddler son and I had a great stay. There were toys for our son to play with and the cottage was so spacious. The owners were very responsive and helpful. The location was perfect only being minutes from shopping and restaurants. We would stay again if in the area.

Cute summer cottage

We were so impressed with this cottage, it has so much character and charm. This my perfect for my husband, myself, and my brother in law for the week. Being right on the cove, the temperature stayed comfortable all week. I’ve never had comfier beds than here! Lots of amenities, my husband and I loved playing checkers in the game room.

Couple on 4 day getaway enjoyed the comfort of a good bed and nice shower. We really did not utilized the kitchen much, but it is well stocked with all you need for any type of cooking.We stayed during a 3 day “heat wave” but proximity to water and adequate fan power cooled the cottage down nicely.Close to great amenities in Boothbay and good restaurants on Southport Island.Definitely a great value and would book again

About the host

Hosted by Lesa C. Marino

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 that has fallen in love with the Boothbay Harbor area. When we bought our cottage, it needed a lot of work. Since my husband is a carpenter, we have been able to do most of the work ourselves. We spent many, many weekends remodeling, painting, plumbing, etc, including the year that we had it lifted and a foundation put under it. Our 2 two daughters have been very involved with creating our wonderful getaway, even when all they wanted to do was stay home with their friends. The four of us have put our hearts into our little Maine cottage with the hopes of it staying in our family for generations.

Why they chose this property

The reason we chose this cottage was, I'm pretty sure, by complete luck. We spent many years traveling to Portland and in 2000 we thought, what the heck, let's see if we can own a place in Maine. We drove to Boothbay and toured the area falling in love with it. We drove all over Southport, asking people if anyone they know was interested in selling a cottage. With no leads, we decided to subscribe to the local newspaper. In the very first issue we recieved, there was the listing we had dreamed of. The 4 of us packed up and drove to Maine 3 days later, bid against 4 other families and got our beautiful Cottage. From that day on, it has been our labor of love.
