Photos and Description of the Southport vacation cottage rental 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, sleeps 4-5

'An Tigin' means Tiny Cottage in Gaelic, but this one has a big heart within its cozy, cheerful interior. Curl up by the woodstove to watch the tide change, bring back lobster & enjoy the view from the deck. Enjoy the feeling of island living all with comfy beds, furniture & new appliances. Sit on the rocks or the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee for a peaceful start to the day. Listen to the foghorns, the gulls crying or the lobster boats, a sound to be truly memorable. Walk across the small wooden bridge to Capitol Island & enjoy an era gone by. Use our kayak & discover the inlets around Southport. Only a short walk to 3 small beaches for the kids, 2 docks from which to fish, calm water to wade in & find shells to take home. Fragrant flowers galore and shrubs, trees, peace, quiet & the ocean, what more can you ask for? Great place for walking, oh & don't forget the camera for those beautiful landscapes. Slow down, take a deep salt air breath & relax you are at 'An Tigin!!!

What is there not to do on the water in Boothbay!! Last week of June brings Windjammer Days, July brings the fireworks over the harbor, June to early Sept brings sunset or dinner cruises. Mid-Sept brings a weekend of big-time sailing races. October brings the foliage. Rent a kayak, small boat, charter a boat to fish or just have a picnic. Head out to an island and sightsee. Shops, galleries and restaurants galore. Lots of trails to go hiking on. World class Botanical Gardens newly opened. YMCA to stay fit after eating all the lobster and clams. Ice cream parlors and mini golf, perhaps a day on the beach, or just rent a video for a quiet day inside while listening to the foghorns. Photographer and artists dream location. The entire Boothbay Region can all be reached within a 20 minute ride, you never need to go off the peninsula to experience any of this!

A Place Time Forgot

Patty and Wes Noank, CT
Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
No review can convey how truly special this cottage is. Brooke has lovingly decorated this cottage with art and beautifully restored furnishings. The cottage is fully supplied for a holiday - and if you like to cook you can cook about anything from boiling lobsters to baking an unforgettable desert. Everything about An Tigin is spotlessly maintained.
The cottage garden,visible from every window in the front of the house, is set off against the changing light of sky and harbor.
Ocean views surround you- in the dining area, the bedroom, the living room and the comfortable deck. The cottage's large yard is on the waterfront and set among other handsome cottages with quiet, but friendly neighbors.
Just beyond the cottage a magical narrow bridge invites you to Capitol Island with its cottages, rocky shore and secluded beach. It was so relaxing to walk around the island in the evening and see the twnkling lights of Boothbay Harbor from the bridge.
If you want to experience the quiet and beauty of the gulls, tides, sunsets and star gazing or the adventure of kayaking and bicycling, An Tigin will provide you with a perfect vacation.

Owner's Response: My heart and soul go into this little cottage, and I hope all who walk through the door feel what I have done to make it this way, it truly is an enchanting cottage and area! Each year I fuss to make "An Tigin" nicer and I will continue to do so to make those memories last for those who come and stay! Thank you and we hope to see you again!

Not just a place but a passion....

SSM&N Lebanon Township, NJ, USA
Review Submitted: January 11, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our stay this past summer delighted us well beyond expectation. There really is not much more to be said-- read the reviews, look at the photographs, review the property description-- all honestly and accurately depict “An Tigin.” The Boothbay Harbor area is wonderful, Capitol Island magical and An Tigin is absolutely charming. If you are moved by something within then do not hesitate to book-- you will not be disappointed. Oh, and while at the cottage make sure you look through the photo album chronicling An Tigin’s transformation. You will discover An Tigin is not just a place, it is a passion and staying there invites you to be a part of it.

Owner's Response: Thank you Stephanie! Yes, once an old car garage built in 1910 transformed to a tiny cottage, this place IS my passion. I fuss constantly there, tweaking, upgrading and making the property and cottage prettier each year. I invite people to come stay and see the transformation and I would hope that each guest is "transformed" into a more relaxed person after staying at "An Tigin". This is not just a rental property, this is also my personal sanctuary to renew my spirit!
Again Stephanie, thank you!

Seattle family love "An Tigin" cottage

Review Submitted: December 18, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
Guestbook comment by an 11 year old. "We loved this cottage! It was fun to walk over the little bridge to Capitol Island. This is the perfect location, with the woodsy type to the right and the beach to the left! We loved how pretty the leaves are and everyone who liked to take photos certainly got to get some good ones! This is a great places to relax during the day or at night after a busy day of running around! Thanks, Brooke"

Thank you Kirsten!

A Perfect Vacation & an Incredible Value

Nathan, Stacey & Carly Bedford NH
Review Submitted: October 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had the pleasure of staying at An Tigin for our first vacation with our young daughter. She was 15mos old at the time and we could not have found a more perfect location. Brooke made sure the cottage had a crib and was 'baby-proofed' prior to our arrival. There were plenty of both indoor and outdoor toys to keep her busy and happy. The location is so naturally beautiful and private that we didn't feel like we were missing anything during her frequent naps. We could sit on the deck and just enjoy the scenery and fresh air. During our outings we had such a variety of things to do within walking distance and/or a short drive to Boothbay. We were never bored. As stated in other reviews the cottage has everything you need. Since eating out had become a bit of a challenge at that stage, we often opted for takeout or prepared meals ourselves which only added to the overall value to us. I really can't express what it meant to have our very first family vacation be such a positive and fun experience for all of us.

Owner's Response: From the youngest of guests like Carly to the eldest, I try to provide what is needed to make a vacation as special as possible. A crib, high chair, plenty of toys, children's books and a wagon is just part of the package here at "An Tigin".
Thank you Stacey, Nathan and your tiniest family member, Carly!

We hope to see you again!
