Cozy Waterfront Cottage with Dock

Step into the charm of coastal Maine at The Lilly Pad, a lovingly restored 1940s cottage nestled on the tranquil shores of Decker’s Cove in Southport. This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom waterfront retreat offers breathtaking views of Boothbay Harbor and the Wharf from its private dock and pier, providing the perfect escape for up to 4 guests with a queen bed and sofa bed.

This cottage holds a special history, originally serving as a working waterfront for a local lobsterman and later becoming a beloved family retreat after it was purchased by Beverly and Cecil Lilly in the 1970s. Named "The Lilly Pad" by Beverly due to her fondness for frogs, the cottage has been a cherished gathering spot for generations. Inside, you'll find unique touches that tell the family's story, including a bluefish painting by Daniel, the eldest grandson and current owner of the home, who helped his grandfather create it at just 3 years old. These personal touches add a heartfelt warmth to this seaside home.

Relax in the sunroom, savor the sea breeze from your private pier, or take a short drive to explore nearby attractions. Visit Hendricks Head Beach for a peaceful walk or swim (10 minutes away), or spend a day at the renowned Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (just 15 minutes away). For dining, shopping, and waterfront adventures, Boothbay Harbor is only a 10-minute drive from the cottage.

Whether you’re traveling as a couple or with family, The Lilly Pad offers a serene escape with the convenience of Little Nick and Periwinkle nearby, perfect for groups seeking their own space while staying close together.

Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll be prompted to complete this step.

Great stay at the Lilly Pad

Gem of a cottage with wonderful views of Townsend Gut and Deckers Cove. Morning coffee on the porch great way to start the day. Clean and comfortable cottage. Close to great restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
