Classic Maine Cottage with ocean views

This renovated classic 1940’s shingled Maine summer cottage is bright and cheerful throughout--like a page from 'House and Gardens' magazine. Furnishings are in the Maine cottage style, and the gourmet kitchen has been updated with all new appliances for the 2019 season. First floor has a single bunk bedroom suitable for children and shower bath, second floor has three bedrooms--two with queen size beds and one with twin beds-- and bathroom with a claw foot tub. Downstairs bathroom completely renovated and expanded in 2019 with all new fixtures, tile, and front loading washer and dryer. Mattresses on all upstairs bedrooms are new within the last year

Enjoy ocean views through a wall of windows looking out across an open field or from the master bedroom. Great outdoor living spaces-- with a large deck that overlooks a completely private lawn--perfect for games--and includes updated furniture and barbecue. Eat-in kitchen is fully equipped with stunning views into the surrounding two acres of woods.

Great place for kids who delight with playing field out-front, 'secret' forts in the woods, and looking for treasures on the rocks and beaches. Steps away from the Juniper Point community house, four clay tennis courts, boat dock and beach. This cottage has heat and a woodburning fireplace, so would be a good choice for the off season (May, June, September, October). New Anderson 400 windows (in 2019 ) help keep the cold out, and the warmth in.

The Osprey cottage is kept bright and fresh through frequent upgrades and repairs. Key upgrades for 2019 include replacing older style windows throughout, new kitchen appliances (refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher) and updating the downstairs bathroom and laundry.

House is ideal for four adults, but will accomodate up to six maximum.

Wonderful!

Just what we needed! We loved relaxing on the deck, kayaking and paddle boarding from the dock. It felt secluded, but was close to town with all the stores and restaurants. It was also close enough for a day trip to Acadia. The Botanical Gardens were great! Great stay!

Perfect location, lovely cottage

Perfect cottage for three adults and a toddler. We enjoyed the quiet location, nicely landscaped and spacious yard, beautiful views down to the water, and the ability to walk to the pier and little beach. Location was perfect for exploring Boothbay Harbor and surrounding towns while feeling like we were staying off the beaten path. Sarah was extremely responsive, sending over some extra dish soap and paper towels one evening when we ran out.We stayed the first week of June and appreciated the first floor heater a couple of cool mornings. The kitchen has everything we needed and it was nice to a breakfast nook and dining room. Linens were high quality and made for a great night's sleep.

Great Place to Relax

First time in Maine. The Cottage was PERFECT for spending time together in the lovely living room -- as well as enough in and outdoor spaces to reflect on our own -- enjoying the nice water and garden views. Everything was clean and well-supplied -- our host was top-notch. It was a good location for shops, hikes and museums. Will return again :)

Charming historic cottage with modern updates.

The neighborhood was wonderful that this cottage was located within. We were greeted and welcomed every time we stepped out the door, primarily homeowners surrounding this little cottage rental located close enough to Boothbay Harbor to enjoy all it had to offer a short walk to the water and boat dock.

Just as I thought it would be.

I was looking forward to being in Maine. It's hot here in South Carolina in August. My husband promised we'd escape this year and we did. Boothbay was fantastic,...good nearby restaurants, friendly neighbors, gorgeous settings and the experience of open windows and doors, drinking in warm sunshine and cool breezes while I finished reading three novels. Sound Idyllic? It was just as we pictured. The cottage felt cozy but scenic day trips took us away from staying put. Botanical gardens, trips to other towns to antique, or an expedition to Monhegan, an island two hours away by ferry, not to mention the short walk to the tennis courts next to us, provided ample time to relax and rejuvenate. Nothing about our stay in Osprey disappointed. I hope to return.

Outstanding stay

The Osprey is the ideal location and has ultimate New England charm. The owner gave us a personal harbor tour in his boat sharing his knowledge and history of the region. He also gave us a walking tour and orientation to the area. This is a top notch 5 star property, very spacious and extremely comfortable. We look forward to our next visit.

Fantastic Maine cottage near water and activities!

We had a wonderful time at the Osprey. Plenty of space for two adults and four children. Bright bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Large living room with garden and water views and porch access. Well-equipped kitchen (all pots, pans, serving dishes, tools that one needs) and modern appliances. All new bathroom downstairs. Owner lives nearby and helped us getting the most out of our time on Juniper point. The village community center (tennis, table tennis, play room, swim beach & swim dock, events etc.) is a great added bonus to your stay on the point (but it is still a very quiet area). Highly recommended!

Absolute Mid-Coast Perfection!!!

We spent a perfect 2 weeks in Osprey Cottage. The location on Juniper Point could not have been better (5 minutes from the Yacht Club, just few more to the downtown harbor area, and the grocery store & other conveniences outside of town). My husband eagerly joined the Juniper Point Assoc and played tennis everyday that we were there. We also collected sea glass on the association beach and swam off the dock below the cottage a few times. A great family spot for all ages! The cottage is absolutely charming, immaculate and very well provisioned! The furnishings are all very comfortable & have a bright Maine cottage feel. Plenty of room for us & our 3 children (24,22,17) to spread out. The view out the living room window over gardens and a field, and down to the Townsend Gut is just lovely, and it was very easy to get caught up with the view and not read my book! The owners could not have been nicer, from initial contact back in the spring, to the lead up to our arrival. They were also there our last few days, staying in their primary property, and we had the chance to spend some time with them and to go out on their boat. His knowledge of the area and it's history is not to be beat, and he offered lots of recommendations for us in the area & we took many of them! Kayaking in the harbor, up the Townsend Gut, and to the nearby islands (Mouse, Burnt, & Squirrel) Several outings to Glidden Point Oyster Farms up in the Damariscotta River...best oysters I think we've ever had! Ferry out to Squirrel Island on Friday mornings for a yoga class and hike around the island...a wonderful step back in time to walk around the island and see all the old houses...no cars or golf carts, all on foot or bike...felt very Anne of Green Gables! Hiking at Dodge Point up the Damariscotta River, and various other places in the area that are part of the Boothbay Land Trust. A fishing trip on Charger 2. The Botanical Gardens are a must see! Thurs am Farmer's Market! There are endless places to eat. We had wonderful dinners at Ports of Italy & The Thistle Inn, and the obligatory lobster meals at Robinson's Wharf (right across the Sheepscott River), Lobsterman's Wharf in East Boothbay, and the Trevett General Store (great lobster rolls and fried pickles!). Also amazing sandwiches at the East Boothbay General Store...a great little market not to be missed. We cooked fairly often in the very well outfitted kitchen. We can't wait to go back next summer. Absolute perfection!

Wonderful vacation!

The cottage was equipped with everything you could think of and more! Even the little extras you might forget, hand soap and laundry detergent. The cottage itself was charming, clean, tidy and had plenty of fans for each room to keep everyone comfortable. The neighborhood felt like it was away from it all while just 10 minute drive to restaurants and downtown Boothbay. While we weren’t able to coordinate a time the owner, Bill offered to take all of us on a boat ride to show us around. He was friendly and available while giving us our space. It was an idyllic Maine vacation!

A little piece of heaven.....

A little piece of heaven...My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the Osprey this past summer for three weeks. We fell in love with the house, the point, and the people. The Osprey is perfectly situated a short two minute walk from four beautifully maintained clay tennis courts. The house itself is warm, light and extremely well appointed. The view of the water from the living room and master bedroom are quintessential coastal Maine - gorgeous. We ate most of our meals outside on the charming side porch. Bill and Lisa do a beautiful job of making the Osprey a home and not a “rental.” From, hanging flower baskets to a jaunt on Bill’s beautiful boat, the owners could not be kinder and more accommodating. The house is part of the Juniper Point Association, which anyone can join for a small fee and is well worth doing! The clay tennis courts are excellent and the pros are fabulous. Ice cream socials for kids on Thursdays, movie night on Tuesdays, and periodic adult events were priceless to this family. I attended yoga there on Tuesdays and all four of us joined the tennis clinics, which are offered daily for children and adults. You can certainly choose to keep to yourself and simply enjoy all that the Osprey and Maine has to offer, but the people living on Juniper point are well worth noting. They are warm, friendly, caring, generous, and endlessly entertaining. Despite being temporary guests, our neighbors made us feel at home and part of the community. As a side note, Boothbay Harbor is an adorable town with lots to offer. Tidal Transit has some fabulous kayaking tours. We loved the Maine Botanical Gardens so much so that we became members. My 8-year old son could not get enough of the touch and feel exhibit at the Maine aquarium. I went hiking on local trails several times, and my kids joined sailing schools where they made friends and learned new skills. All of this helps make the Osprey a simply fabulous home!

Perfect location for mid-coast Maine vacation

Perfect location. Water views, with access to a dock and a small beach. Short drive to town, and a little over an hour drive to Portland or Camden for day trips. The house has all the amenities we needed, including WiFi, is well maintained and clean, and plenty of room for large families. Many families in this compound of homes, so a good spot for a family vacation. My wife and I like to bike, so we did some local riding. The Southport loop is scenic with minimal traffic, and the loop up to Barter's Island is nice too. There are many kayak rental companies in the area, and some will drop off the kayaks to you. The house is in a perfect location for kayaks.
