Down home on the bay.
Adorable spot. Classic and cozy seaside cottage with the amazing boat house as an extra bonus. We walked to Robinson’s Wharf every night. Delish! We wanted to stay longer, oh well, next time!

A gem of a cottage
Periwinkle was a cute, clean getaway. Julie was waiting for me when I arrived and gave me lots of tips on where to go, where to eat etc. I had a problem with the TV and Tom stopped in to guide me through it. I loved my stay there!

Wonderful Cabin on Southport Island
This cabin is just right for a couple. There is a large bedroom with a king bed and a small bedroom with a single bed for storing luggage and clothing. The kitchen is well equipped. The view from the deck is so picturesque. It overlooks a small harbor with Robinsons restaurant. The tide varies for 8 to 10 feet and is fun to watch coming in and going out. There is a swing bridge which can be seen from the dock. The cabin is just a couple of miles from downtown Boothbay Harbor, but is in a quiet area. It is just a few miles from the Maine Botanical Garden, which should not be missed. We will stay again!

Little Oasis
This cottage is so peaceful. It is exactly like the pictures. We were able to have coffee out by the water every morning. We walked to Robinsons Wharf restaurant and had dinner on the outside deck. Judy was great! She met us at check-in and gave us a tour of the cottage and outdoor spaces. She also gave us information needed to know where everything is located, from grocery stores to leisurely things. We will definitely be back! Donna

lovely cottage on the harbor in Southport Maine
Such a wonderful place! Wendy the property manager was so nice and communication with her was so easy. Lovely views of the harbor from the house, comfortable beds and furniture. We so enjoyed our coffee on the porch each morning watching the lobster boats go out. You can see the swing bridge from the house and it was interesting watching the boats go through when the bridge slid open. Will definitely be going back. A definitely thing to see is the Maine Botanical Gardens.

23rd Wedding Anniversary!!!
We absolutely loved our stay! The view was spectacular and the cabin provided everything we needed! It was the perfect spot for writing and relaxing! We've visited the Boothbay Harbor area for greater than 10 years, so this visit was especially about getting away- our 1st travel since the pandemic, relaxing, and being inspired. We made contacts in town and look forward to returning in the fall of 2022 for some author events, and hope to stay at Periwinkle while we're there!

We enjoyed our visit to Southport, Maine and our stay at Periwinkle Cottage. Everything was comfortable and functional. The boathouse deck and chairs allowed for relaxing while enjoying a great view. Being just a short walk from Robinson's Wharf was nice, too.

Wonderful stay!
This was a great little place to stay. We had a really nice time. Enjoyed the cottage and surrounding area. The boat house and dock were a nice addition. And topping it all off was the property managers being attentive and responsive to one small issue we had. Thanks for a great stay! We'll be back for sure.

deborah h., Newport RI

Simple and underwhelming -a disappointment
The online description really inflated the property so price was too high for what is provided. No amenities like dishwasher, washing machine, kayaks, BBQ (although the property manager went out and bought a simple charcoal grill many thanks to Tom!). We stayed a week and planned to cook a number of our meals -but no counter space, no where to store purchased food so very challenging to prepare meals.Cheap kitchen utensils.Furniture was rickety and old or or Ikea cheap. Boathouse was a poorly kept up shed. We will not be back.
