Steamboat Landing Cottage: Water Views

Amazing place to stay!

Our stay at the Steamboat Cottage was wonderful! While we were close enough to bustle of Boothbay and all of its offerings. Our afternoons and evenings in Southport, allowed us to retreat to picturesque sunsets on the deck overlooking the Sheepscot. The general store down the road offers great breakfast and lunch choices, and the host book provides you with the ins and outs of the best places to eat and visit nearby. We were two families with kids. The beach was close enough to ride to, and the school nearby had an amazing playground we frequented. The location was excellent, and our stay was comfortable. On top of that the communication with the owner was clear and friendly. A truly fantastic vacation.

Property beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. A bit of trouble checking in as we were given the wrong key code. Lots of steps to hike up with heavy luggage. Beautiful views all around.

Our family recently stayed at the Steamboat Landing cottage on Southport and loved our stay. It was a very quiet neighborhood and the water views from both levels were so amazing (particularly the master bedroom). The cottage was well stocked and the bedrooms were all good sizes. It was nice having laundry in the unit. We felt the listing was accurate re: amenities and accessibility. We appreciated being close enough to Boothbay Harbor and all it had to offer, but not so close that we had to deal with the traffic and parking. On Southport Island, we loved the General Store for some morning coffees, Hendricks Head beach & lighthouse and the Cape Newagen Alpaca Farm. We made day trips to Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and the Coastal Maine Bontanical Garden - both are must sees when in the area. Gillian, the host, was great about checking in on us periodically to help with whatever was needed. Overall, it was a good value. We would stay here again if in the Boothbay area!

Stairs from parking area to house are incomplete and unsafe. Were forced to walk uphill over slippery rocks as stairs were missing. Stairs in the house were steep and steps too short. Stairs would not pass safety code. Railing was too close to the wall for hands to hold securely. Bath tubs were very difficult to get in and get out of, and there no grab bars, dangerous.
