About this property
Renovated Westport Island Retreat: 180° Water Views, Shared Dock & Dog Friendly!
Night Heron: Historic Charm & Stunning Sunrises on Westport Island
Experience the perfect blend of Maine’s storied past and modern comfort at Night Heron. Originally a historic home, this property has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated into a bright and airy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat. We were inspired both by the unique exterior color and our native birds (which you very well may see when you visit) when naming this home! Perched on Westport Island and overlooking Kehail Point, this home offers nearly 180-degree views of the wide waters of Long Cove.
Charming Features
Spectacular Sunrise Views: East-facing and fronting the water, this home is a dream for early risers. Watch the sun crest over Long Cove from almost every room in the house.
Expansive Waterside Deck: A deck spans the entire waterside of the cottage, providing the ultimate venue for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening cocktails with a view.
Modern Amenities, Historic Soul: Enjoy the character of a historic Maine home paired with a brand-new kitchen and modern renovations completed throughout the house.
Boater’s Paradise: With a shared dock and float, plus a mooring ball available for rent, you are just a scenic 4-mile boat ride away from the heart of Boothbay Harbor.
Dog Friendly: No need to leave your best friend behind—Night Heron welcomes your dogs!
NOTE: Looking to get out on the water? Inquire about renting the private mooring ball to keep your boat right at the property!
Minimum Stay: 4-Night Minimum with flexible check-in/out days. Stay for a week or longer to receive a better value on your booking! BEDROOMS: (1) Queen, (1) Double, (1) Queen Pull Out Couch
BATHROOMS: (1) Full bathroom DOGS PERMITTED? Yes, dogs are welcome! LINENS & TOWELS INCLUDED? Yes, linens and towels are provided, and housekeeping is included in your stay.
Explore the Region
Westport Island: Explore the quiet beauty of the island, including the Squam Creek Preserve for peaceful hiking and birdwatching.
Wiscasset (The Prettiest Village in Maine): Just a short drive away, visit the world-famous Red’s Eats, shop for antiques, or explore the historic Castle Tucker.
Boothbay Harbor: Accessible by car or boat (just 4 miles by water!), enjoy the bustling harbor filled with boutiques, art galleries, and premier dining.
