Redbird Cottage. Charming respite w/ large wrap-around porch and ocean views

Redbird Cottage is perched near the top of a hill overlooking Linekin Bay. The well-loved house exudes comfort and the sense of family. It accommodates 6 adults comfortably.
Your favorite place to enjoy the view and our wonderful ocean breeze will be the wrap-around porch. Pick a place to relax in sun or shade and you will be greeted with birdsong from many varieties of feathered friends. The osprey, sea gulls and even eagles soaring overhead will distract you from the good book you may have settled down to read.
A morning stroll will take you down the hill to the General Store where many gourmet delights await you. Try a breakfast pizza, then take your coffee back to the town dock to watch the boats come in and out of the busy little harbor. Some guests have been known to take a dip off the dock on a nice day.
Back at "home", Redbird's kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and appliances for meal prep. A gas grill sits on the side deck waiting to help you show off your grilling prowess.
There is a large family dining table that seats 8 and looks out on the front porch with the bay view beyond or enjoy the glass top dining table which is ideal for appetizers or meals on the porch.
The living room provides plenty of spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Games are provided for guests of all ages and there is a cable TV, and DVD/VHS player. On a cool evening, pop some corn, flick on the gas fireplace, and choose a movie from the large selection of older " classics" we have kept for your enjoyment.
There is a small room off the living room with a piano for those who enjoy playing, and a day bed which is perfect for grabbing a nap on a lazy afternoon.
The downstairs bathroom has a stall shower, and a stacked washer/ dryer for your convenience.
There is a full bathroom with tub/shower on the second floor and three bedrooms consisting of 2 ocean-view rooms, one with a double bed, and one with 2 twins. The third bedroom is fitted with a queen bed as well as a day bed (perfect for parents with a young child).
Redbird is a wonderful base for many activities such as hiking and exploring myriad trails and nature preserves, or visiting neighboring towns and beautiful areas on or off the peninsula.
Be sure to experience Ocean Point which is a 10-minute drive from the cottage. Here you can walk or drive a 2.5mile loop, stopping here and there to walk down to the water's edge, sit on the rocks to soak up the views, or stop and chat with local residents out working in their gorgeous flower gardens. Don't miss it! You will want to go back.
East Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are working fishing and lobstering villages and while both are summer communities, the "Harbor" is livelier by far because of the many restaurants, shops and boating opportunities. Consider a whale watch, an island clambake, a visit to the Botannical Gardens, or an excursion boat ride around the harbor islands or to Monhegan Island to spend the day. The possibilities are endless and, best of all, at the close of your day, you will return to your home-away-from-home, Redbird Cottage.

One of my favorite places in Maine is the Ocean Pt/Boothbay area! This house was very clean and extremely well stocked. I stayed for a week with 3 other friends, and there was plenty of room for us all. The owner was so pleasant and easily accessible if needed!

As three 70- something women, we were looking for a cottage that would be comfortable and well located. Redbirds' Nest surpassed all of our expectations. It was cozy but spacious, within a good distance of where we wanted to visit and had every amenity you could ask for. Comfort and charm were everywhere and we could not have asked for more. Thank you!

Wonderful week!
We had a wonderful week in Boothbay and loved Cherie's fabulous property! Everything was so welcoming and comfortable, and our son especially loved all the games and toys. The location was great, close enough to town to enjoy it all but far enough away for lots of peace and quiet. The house had everything you could need and we can't wait to come back!

Beautiful House and incredible view!
The house was absolutely beautiful! The view of the bay was incredible, we woke up every morning and had coffee on the wrap around porch overlooking the bay. We were within 10 minutes of everything too!! Cherie was great, she was available to answer any question we had, and she met us there to give us a tour! We loved our welcome bag as well! We will definitely be back!

Very nice property. Clean and comfortable. Although we like to sleep cooler, I liked the presence of heated blankets on the beds. The location and view were outstanding. Lindsey was most accommodating. I highly recommend.

House is in a great location. The view of the harbor is awesome. We spent lots of time hanging out on the porch having some quality family time. House is well stocked and very comfortable. Would recommend this property for anyone looking for some true peace and quiet.

Our 2 year wait cause of COVID.
Lobster festival was still cancelled but we wanted to go after waiting two years of excitement. We ate lobsters everyday. Prices really went through the roof but very delicious and couldn’t have asked for better weather. Lindsey was very easy and nice to work with. Long trip from New Jersey but worth it.

Slice of heaven in Maine
Great time in this very loved house. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The wraparound porch has a gorgeous view. East Boothbay is a find and I’ll be back. Pictures cannot do justice to the view. The kitchen is extraordinarily well equipped. My sisters and I adored our week relaxing in such beauty. Location perfect in residential neighborhood without tourists crawling everywhere
