Description
Expect spectacular sunrises and sunsets from this most charming Maine guest cottage. Perched over the ocean in a picturesque little cove on Capitol Island, Barnacle has water views from every room. A separate outbuilding with one bedroom and its own bath allows for complete privacy, while the main part of this cottage is host to another 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Alongside the deck are steps down to the ocean, and kayaks are available for your use.
This cottage was originally built to house the staff for the Albonegan Inn. Once the Inn became a private home, Barnacle was renovated to serve as a guest cottage. Capitol Island is accessible by a wooden bridge and is three quarters of a mile long, has 2 beaches, a marina, tennis court, and community house complete with ping pong table and rocking chairs on the porch. Bicylces are not allowed to be ridden on the island but there are plenty of other locations in the area to take a scenic ride! It's a fabulous step back in time and a great place to slow down and just breathe. It is a scenic 4 mile drive to downtown Boothbay Harbor, and about 6 miles to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
Please note this cottage does not have laundry facilities or television. Harbor's Choice Laundry is 4.5 miles away, and there is plenty to see and do on the island to keep everyone busy!

Beautiful week! We all got to do the things we love, Chris went fishing and we ate lobsters each day.
I enjoyed the sun rises, the Botanical Garden and did some painting. Renee and Mary-Ann did the gardens, shopping, kayaking and visited the Alpaca Farm. We watched a great fireworks display from the deck!!

Stellar views anytime of day. Clean, fresh air! The association dock was a delight. We also loved the ping pong table at the Island casino. It was remote but close to the action in Boothbay Harbor.

The Barnacle on Capitol Island is perfect for a week away from the bustle of the world. With the lovely breeze .. there were never any bugs ... and the beds were comfortable.

Thank you Barnacle for an amazing week! We enjoyed sitting on the deck reading and hosting my husbands parents for dinner. What a treat to bring our boat and have a slip at the marina.
We visited all our favorite haunts on land and by sea, Southport and Boothbay Harbor are special places for us and staying here made it sweeter.

We brought our mom's here to get to know each other because after three years of dating, they hadn't met each other.
Originally from Maine I wanted to show Michelle the place I love so much. Turns out this trip wasn't just for our moms because Mike proposed. Such a great house! I will always love it.

After the last minute change to our Maine vacation due to covid travel restrictions, Wendy helped us expediate our reservations seamlessly. Little did we know we were about to experience one our most memorable family vacations.

We ate our way through Southport and beyond, lobster rolls at Trevett Country Store, crab rolls, breakfast pizza at Southport Country Store. Ice Cream at Sarah's, cheese-dry meats and cininabuns at the Farmer's Market on Thursday. But nothing topped our seafood buffets at Barnacle each evening, the best view in town. We will be back to do it all again. Thank you for sharing Capitol Island.
