Charming Waterfront Cottage with Stunning Views of Townsend Gut - Southport!

Nestled right on the waterfront of Townsend Gut, Water’s Edge offers the perfect spot to relax and watch the boats pass by from your own wrap-around porch. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee or enjoying a sunset by the fire pit, the abundant boating activity of the Gut provides a beautiful backdrop for your stay.

Inside, you’ll find an updated, bright kitchen fully equipped with all the amenities you need. The water-view dining area offers the perfect setting for meals, while the spacious living room, featuring a pull-out sofa bed and a gas fireplace, adds warmth and charm for those cool Maine evenings.

With two bedrooms, each with a pull-out sofa bed, and two bathrooms, Water’s Edge comfortably sleeps up to eight guests—ideal for family gatherings or small groups. The cottage is located in a private, quiet area, offering a peaceful escape, yet it’s just a short distance from downtown Boothbay Harbor. A local favorite, Robinson's Wharf, with its pub, restaurant, and working waterfront wharf, is within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy fresh seafood and local flavors.

For larger groups, consider renting Water’s Edge along with the neighboring cottage, Classic Boathouse, to accommodate everyone while enjoying the beauty of the waterfront together.

A Peaceful and Beautiful Property!

by Don Peterson

We stayed at Water\'s Edge for two weeks and can\'t say enough positives about this property! The cove on which the property sits is very peaceful and beautiful. It was a such a pleasure to sit on the (covered wrap around!) porch overlooking the water and watching the boats go by. Everything you could want in a vacation rental was provided. The house was VERY clean and comfortable. Don\'t miss carry out steamed lobsters from Robinson\'s right around the corner -- sweet and delicious! We loved staying on Southport Island. It\'s far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor, but you can be there in 15 minutes! Just a word to the wise -- the bedrooms are both upstairs. If you have mobility issues, it would be difficult to climb the stairs. On warm nights, being upstairs can be uncomfortable (but there were ceiling fans in both bedrooms and two portable fans) We were really impressed with the thoughtfulness provided throughout the house. We were greeted with all the fixings (including sticks) to make s\'mores on the outdoor gas fireplace. There were plenty of boxes of tissues and liquid soap on all of the sinks. Those kinds of touches are so appreciated! Finally, Erin from Maineland Vacation Rentals was great to work with and very responsive. All in all, a great place to stay!
