A SATURDAY to SATURDAY rental in high season (June-Oct) offering a "Pet Free" Environment for those with allergies, 'An Tigin' means Tiny Cottage in Gaelic, but this one has a big heart within its cozy, cheerful, waterfront interior. Though only 950 sq ft of actual living area, it feels larger as it is bright and airy inside. By using "Instant Booking" you have accepted my agreement policy located in the policy and terms tab, (please read)!. Curl up by the wood stove to watch the tide change from low to high and back again. Bring back lobster & enjoy the view from the deck. Enjoy the feeling of island living all with comfy beds and furniture. Our property is approx. on 1.3 acres, water views on one side and woods on the other, a little of both of what Mother Nature has to offer. Easy access path to the water, no cliffs or dangerous rocks to fall from here. A nice view across to Capitol Island and Squirrel Island beyond. A safe little 'harbor' between Capitol & Southport Islands, perfect to swim or kayak in if you are apprehensive about strong currents. Sit on the rocks or the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee for a peaceful start to the day or a glass of wine to relax the evening away. Our deck is south facing, it is sunny for sun bathing and this is the leeward side of the island, so no strong wind to upset a meal on the deck. Listen to the gulls crying or the lobster boats in the distance, a sound to be truly memorable. NO air conditioning as that is not usually needed on a waterfront property on an island, but why would you use it, enjoy the fresh salty air, my flowers perfume or the fragrance of wood burning in a wood stove instead. Use our kayaks or bring your own & discover the inlets around Southport. Only a short drive to a few beaches for relaxing and swimming, fish off the Southport Swing Bridge. Beautiful flowers in abundance in my gardens and plenty of songbirds in the trees, along with peace, quiet & the ocean, what more can you ask for? Great place for walking, & don't forget the camera for those beautiful landscapes. Slow down, take a deep salt air breath & relax, you are at 'An Tigin'!! Please, I only book Saturday to Saturday unless outside of high season. When you are using "Instant Booking" you are bound by my terms and agreement, so please be advised!!!!! Upon booking, you are required provide a security refund deposit, via personal check. This means that my agreement "supercedes any" information fees, cancellation policies, security deposits that both VRBO states. So, please before booking, click on the agreement policy tab, and read all information, so there is no mistake in making your reservation.
PLEASE READ ON FOR MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION!! Please open all tabs on my listing to see details of mileage to airports, stores, calendar, rates as it is all on my listing. Due to high cost of Short Term Rental Homeowners Insurance, I am sorry to say I am no longer accepting children seven years and younger. So, please let me know their ages. Thank you! Please also be advised that my listing has some incorrect information re: providing a crib. I no longer provide this, but I am not able to correct this on my listing, sorry for the inconvenience. Sorry NO pets, due to family allergies, no exceptions!!! Short Stay rentals in shoulder season: During shoulder periods where 3 or 4 days rentals can be booked, the dates must be consecutive and within a Saturday to Saturday period. If dates booked straddle two weeks a $75 fee will be charged. An example of this is a Friday arrival, departing on Monday, this takes up two separate weeks where a full week booking can be otherwise made, if you book more than seven days and would like more days, you are able to cross over into another week at no extra charge. Our season is so very short here that to 'chop' up full Saturday to Saturday weeks will only lose potential bookings. I hope this poses no inconvenience to future guests, but a financial fact of home/cottage rentals. Thank you! Things to See & Do in Boothbay: What is there not to do in Boothbay Harbor!!! Southport has a swing bridge with a fantastic view, great to fish or daydream from, three lighthouses can be seen from various island locations. Southport also has a small, clean beach close to a lighthouse, fun for swimming, shelling and enjoying the view all without leaving the island. For those of you who have children 7 yrs and older, we have a mini-golf course and a Railway Village (small railroad station) close by. Shops & restaurants galore. Boat trips, both power & sail leave the harbor all day long. Kayak rentals to go out on your own. Charter a fishing boat for the day. A world class Botanical Garden and many Land Trust hiking trails. Antique shops and flea markets too! Take a day trip to Monhegan, a trip worth experiencing, a step back in time!! The entire Boothbay peninsula has so much to offer and such beautiful scenery you have to go no further than that, but if you do want to head out further, it is a great base for sightseeing!
