About this house rental
Hartwell House has origins in the 1770s and expanded in the 1800s and 1970s. It is in a protected cove off Ebenecook Bay with deep water accesss for all water activities. Located on the fully contained community of Southport Island and accessible via a bridge. Hartwell House is within 15 minutes of its more famous, and oft times more 'busy' neighbor, Boothbay Harbor. In addition to a private dock, the house offers:
. An immense living/family room with fireplace
. A charming country eat-in kitchen with fireplace
. Cable and high speed internet
. A well planted patio on a sweeping front lawn that edges the cove
. Many edible offerings from the blueberries, raspberries, rhubarb, apples and grapes that grow on the property (While edibility depends on when you are there, the beauty of the growth is constant)

The farmhouse was a wonderful place for multiple families with kids. The kids enjoyed the playhouse and all the toys included in the main house. The kitchen was well stocked and the house is in close proximity to everything you need. The owner was communicative and responsive.

This farmhouse is an ideal location for family get-togethers. The house has endless possibilities to accommodate children and young grandchildren (ages 3-6). The playhouse was a real hit with them where we adults spent much time being entertained. The place is conveniently located to access forest and shoreline hikes, restaurants, groceries, shopping, boat tours out of Boothbay, conservation programs with the Boothbay Region Land Trust, the Botanical Gardens and National Park Monuments. We also took full advantage of the kayaks, cruising around the protected shorelines. The best part of the living accommodations is that this place feels like a home away from home with all the amenities that you need right at your fingertips. Ree (owner) was easy to get in touch with and very responsive to all our concerns.

This home was absolutely perfect for our family and we had the best time enjoying the house, yard, and private dock that accommodated our boat. Definitely a MUST STAY property! Thanks to our gracious and communicative host!

We loved the Hartwell house on Southport! The cove is private and peaceful yet close enough by car or boat to Boothbay Bay Harbor.
There was plenty of beds and bathrooms in the house and the yard was enjoyed by all! Having our own private dock was important and the kayacks were provided.
Ree was a great host and quick to respond to us. Thank you!
