Watch Nesting Ospreys & Seals from Waterfront Home (#42666)

Boothbay Harbor, Maine
 

Description of the Boothbay Harbor vacation home rental

Relax and recharge in this beautiful, spacious and private home rental on the northwest side of
Westport Island. Our property is named Rock Ledge Point, located 45 miles north of Portland, Maine, Westport is uniquely positioned in the
heart of the midcoast. The home overlooks 300' of deep saltwater frontage along the Sheepscott
River with an exposed rock island at low tide allowing for wildlife viewing including a pair of
nesting osprey just above the home, seals, blue heron and cormorants. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee
on the 40' x 9' front deck or inside the great room (40' x 17') from the window seat. Upstairs you
will find 2 bedrooms and a shower bathroom. Both bedrooms have a full picture window view of the
river and tall trees lining the property. Watching the water ripple and the tree branches blow in
the wind is a soothing break from the stress of everyday life. King size beds with new mattresses
are a comfort after a full day of playing in the area. The main floor has a 12' x 12' bedroom off
the kitchen with a queen size bed and private bathroom including a tub and shower.

While there are many great restaurants in the area, you may also enjoy creating delicious meals in
the fully equipped kitchen overlooking the landscaped gardens. Cable television and a high speed
internet connection are available. The den just off the kitchen has a day bed to accommodate extra
guests.

Area Description

The property is on 3 acres of land in a natural setting within easy driving distance of two of
Maine's finest sandy beaches at Popham Beach and Reid State Park. The Island has two nature
preserves with picnic areas but the home itself has exposed ledges which lend themselves to private
picnic areas. Wiscasset is known for antiquing and nearby Bath, voted a Dozen Distinctive
Destination in 2005, provides great downtown shopping and is home to Bath Iron Works and Maine
Maritime Museum. Other nearby destination spots are Boothbay and Pemaquid Point.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Write a review
 Wonderful time, August 18, 2009
By Michelle Loughlin (Boston, MA)
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The osprey never ceased to amaze us. When we read the description little did we realize that yes, the nest is in the front yard - simply amazing. The house is in a centralized location between Bath and Boothbay Harbor which was perfect. David was a wonderful host and was full of knowledge of things to do and see in the area.
Owner Supplied Testimonials
"This was our first time renting a vacation home. What a wonderful experience! Westport is a beautiful island. David was an extraordinary host and we learned so much about the surrounding area and natural wildlife. We will definitely rent this property again."
