CLIFF COTTAGE | TOWNSEND GUT | 4 Bed, 2.5 Bath
Cliff Cottage: Historic Charm on Townsend Gut
Welcome to Cliff Cottage, a beautifully remodeled retreat perched above the scenic Townsend Gut on the northern tip of Southport Island. This "cottage chic" home masterfully blends old-world Maine charm — hardwood floors, wooden cabinetry, and expansive windows — with modern luxury. Located on a quiet stretch of the island, Cliff Cottage offers a front-row seat to the parade of wildlife, sailboats, and lobster boats navigating the Gut.
Charming Features
Townsend Gut Waterfront: Set high with dramatic views, the large waterside deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee as the sun rises or dinner under the stars.
Wildlife Watching: Keep your binoculars handy! You'll likely spot seals, seagulls, osprey, and eagles right from the deck or the dock.
Master Suite Sanctuary: The main level features a spacious master king suite with a private en-suite bathroom and a cozy, private sitting room located between the bedroom and the living area.
Modern Open Concept: The main floor flows seamlessly between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, all featuring comfortable, well-coordinated decor and huge windows to pull the view inside.
Private Dock & Float: Why not try fishing off the dock or enjoying cocktails in the chairs at the head of the pier as the sun sets?
Spacious Accommodations: With four bedrooms across two levels, there is plenty of room for up to eight guests to relax in style.
NOTE: To ensure the best experience and safety given the home's layout and waterfront positioning, Cliff Cottage is not recommended for children under 10.
The Details:
Minimum Stay: Weekly, Saturday-Saturday.
BEDROOMS: (2) Kings, (1) Queen, (2) Twins
BATHROOMS: (1) Full with tub/shower combo, (1) Full with jetted tub and separate shower, (1) Half bath
DOGS PERMITTED? No, pets are not allowed at this home.
LINENS & TOWELS INCLUDED? Yes, linens and towels are included in your reservation.
Explore the Region
Local Dining: Walk or take a short drive to Robinson's Wharf for fresh seafood or enjoy an award-winning meal at the Newagen Inn.
Southport Staples: Visit the Southport General Store for local treats, pizza, and wine, or soak up the sun at Hendricks Head Beach.
Downtown Boothbay Harbor: Just minutes away, you'll find eclectic shopping, fine dining, and historic seaside entertainment.
Ideal Day Trips: Use Cliff Cottage as your home base for exploring Route 1—from the historic maritime city of Bath to the picturesque harbors of Rockport, Wiscasset, and Damariscotta.
