Tucked away in a private setting and surrounded by two acres of Maine forest, this charming, two-story vacation rental is the perfect home-away-from-home for your next getaway to Southport Island. Bright, pristine, and newly-built, this four-bedroom home features vaulted ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and more than a few nods to the great state of Maine with its decor and artwork. The open floor plan includes a well-equipped, island kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a large dining table with seating for eight, and a cozy living area with a Netflix-ready flatscreen TV. Outside, enjoy the sights and sounds of the woods from the furnished deck where you can socialize or fire up the grill and dine in the open air. And when it's time to call it a night, you'll find four comfortable bedrooms here including one king suite, two rooms with queen-size beds, and a kids' room with two twin bunks.

I'll take a second look at other Vacasa managed properties

Pictures tell most of the story. Typical vacation home clearly just an income property turned over to a property manager for day to day upkeep. This is the MOST I've ever payed for "host fee" and "service fee".

Stayed Here mid July 2024 for 4 nights

The house was very much as advertised. It was roomy and the photos were very accurate. The house was also quite clean when we arrived. It is a good house. There was one minor hiccup. We had asked for the air conditioning to be set up in the Primary Bedroom and Vacasa contacted us and said they would set it up prior to our arrival. When we got there, the A/C unit was in the primary suite closet but it was not set up. The set up requires it be vented through a window. We were able to get it to work on our own after a little work, but it would have been preferable to have it ready. It may be that the local manager did get it set up prior to our arrival but that after he/she did that, housekeeping removed it from the window when they were finished cleaning to make sure the house was secure. But this was a relatively minor thing and the house had plenty of windows and fans to keep it relatively cool despite the warm temperatures that week.

Great get-away home for a family with friends

The home layout was great, kids had enough room to be in different places and not on top of each other. The property was good for the boys to go exploring/ fishing and being just a short drive from Boothbay the location was perfect. While in the area we also visited Damariscotta and New Harbor and they never disappoint.

We really enjoyed our time at the house and Southport. Walk to “Maine” version of a beach, and very close to the towns shopping/food/activities at the harbor.

Great house, peaceful setting

The house was perfect and had everything we needed, including a lobster pot. The first floor master bedroom is very spacious and the other 3 bedrooms were more than enough to accommodate everyone in our group. The back deck was perfect to sit outside and talk and enjoy the silence. Would definitely rent this house again!

Almost perfect!

The home itself is beautiful and there was plenty of space inside for everyone. Unfortunately the outside space wasn't too usable because of the mosquitoes after the rain, and when it was sunny, it was sweltering on the patio. Of course, we can't control the weather but a bug zapper and some shade on the back porch would have let us enjoy the entire property. The kitchen supplies could use some updates. We had to be creative with cooking and storing food. The television didn't really work well and we really had to jerryrig the technology to watch a movie.

Return trip to Southport

Property needs some love. There were 2 coffee pots and both were broken. We did manage by purchasing a coffee pod at the store to get the Keurig to somewhat work. The bath tub upstairs would not hold water because the drain stopper is broken. Drains were slow to drain throughout the house. Trash was 3/4 full upon arrival and a critter was dumping the cans every night. By the time we left we were stacking trashbags in the cellar. Not sure if the gas grill was for us to use but there was no gas, not even a propane bottle to go fill. The deck was a little more run down than the first time we stayed there. The lot next door was grown up. We found a volleyball/badminton net covered up out there. We did stand it up and mowed the grass with the manual reel mower we found in the basement. One of the living room chairs was missing the seat cushion, limiting seating for 8 people. Just very disappointing the condition of things for the price we paid. We chose this location because of how nice it was a few years back when we stayed and brought our whole family to enjoy it with us this time. Disappointed in the upkeep of the property.

No heat or hot water

The heating system wasn't operating when we arrived. We were given portable heaters by the property manager after 10 P.M. They only raised the inside temperature to the mid-60's. We were without hot water until 4 P.M. until we were relocated. We were not offered adequate compensation for these missing living necessities and we were relocated to a house of lesser value and not compensated for the difference, despite our numerous complaints. Needless to say, we are very unhappy with Vacasa.

Disappointing

We expected this house to be amazing and some aspects are good but it falls down in a number of ways. Location is great, we love Southport Island. The general store (pizzas and delicious baked goods here) and beach are a short walk away. The house was a good size for our family group of five adults and one teen. Furnishings and decor are good quality. However, it is let down in a number of details, including cleanliness, outdoor area and guest information, which we have reported to Vacasa. Overall it did not feel worth the high price paid.

♥♥♥ Love-Love-Love this house!!

From the moment I walked in, I wanted to keep this house! We were in Maine for a wedding and having our own space and room to move around was wonderful! It was close to the wedding location and not far of a drive to other places we needed to be. Would love to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future!! You won't regret booking this property! ♥

Great place. One of the better houses I've stayed in, clean, well maintained, spacious, with a kitchen equipped with everything and more. The house itself is isolated in the heart of a grove but close to everything you want to do in the area. I would love to come back.

This lovely house allowed us to stay near family during the Winter Holidays. And gave us a beautiful secluded space to relax, refresh and enjoy. It was spacious, welcoming and in excellent condition. The grounds are beautiful and the area is easy to walk and the nearby shore is beautiful.
