Great house on beautiful property

We spent so much time outside on the porch and on the deck by the water! It is really conveniently located to restaurants, activities, and shops. The house was comfortable and felt immediately like home.

a true maine experience!

We were a family of 8, ranging from 2 y/o to 70 - and this house was absolutely perfect! Enough seating, rooms, and bedding for everyone to be together as well as take some space to themselves. Boothbay Harbor is a wonderful place to visit and we didn't go too far out of town since there was already so much to do there for us. we would definitely stay again!

Lovely long weekend in Autumn

The title and description are spot on, this is a vintage home with every amenity we needed for a long weekend exploring Damariscotta and Boothbay Harbor. We only needed 3 bedrooms, so did not use the bunk beds tucked into the first floor alcove, and planned to spend most of our time out & about. It was a perfect location for us.

Charming old house

Our party of 8 enjoyed our stay. The house is well equipped and stocked to get you started. Conveniently located to town and the Botanical Gardens. Plenty of outside space for kids to run around and play. It has a beautiful view of the cove but is very rocky. This didn't stop us from hunting hermit crabs and catching fish. The house is old but that gives it the Maine charm.

Old Farm House

It's fine as long as you go into it with the understanding that it's an old farm house that has been marginally mantained a not updated. A corner of the property has a water view which is pretty. After hours communication with the management company was slow. We stayed because it was one of the last available properties on a holiday weekend but would not go back.

We celebrated my father's 80th birthday at the cottage and really enjoyed the weekend. The deck overlooking the cove and the cove acces was great. The dogs loved retrieving dummies in the water. The cottage is a classic, old school Maine cottage which was fun and reminded me of Maine when I was a kid.

We loved the house--it was homey and clean, and it felt like someone's actual home. So many short term rentals these days are investment properties and feel like they've been outfitted by AI--something that had a vague idea of what a human on vacation might want, but no actual human experience. The kitchen and bathrooms had all the things we needed, the livingroom was cozy and all the furniture was comfortable. Sitting on the warm rocks down by the beach was lovely, and there are SO many great places to walk nearby. We highly recommend the Appalachee Preserves, which are just a short walk away. We ate out at Ports of Italy and the Thistle Inn and both were delicious. We had a great visit and would definitely stay here again.

Boothbay by the Bay

The house was exactly as pictured and described in the listing. The bedrooms were smaller, which is typical in old New England construction, but was made up for with the various common spaces, and outdoor spaces for utilization. The covered porch was amazing since we ended up with rain for most of our trip. All of the appliances were in working order. The house and each bedroom were clean, and tidy. The decor was all themed to the nautical New England vibe we wanted for the weekend.

Great value for big group

Charming old house with view of water. Equipped with everything we needed and then some. Luckily us rural Hoosiers could still sleep with back door that didn’t lock. Bunk bed room is strictly for sleeping- tiny. We spent majority of time on front “veranda”. Lovely.

As advertised (mostly)

As advertised, except for the "walking distance to downtown." It's over a mile, no sidewalks, very hilly bendy road, difficult for cars and the plethora of work trucks to see you. We had some elderly folks planning to stroll into town, but that was a hard no. Maybe ok if you're young and active, but certainly don't plan on safely walking home at night. Otherwise, a pleasant old place.

Classic Boothbay Cottage

Great location close to town with great view of lobster cove. some of the furniture needs updates the lift chair has a short circuit and gets stuck in up position. the other upholstered chair should be replace or at lest a slip cover quote dirty. Trash is an issue, prior tenants has lobster and barrels were full. a trash bin to hold barrels would be a big plus since animals got into the trash.

Disappointed

We knew the home was older when we booked, which was fine, but it was very cluttered with unnecessary and unusable furniture and other “things”. It was not very clean. There were dust balls everywhere. Although the towels may have been clean they smelled like cigarette smoke and perfume, thankfully there was a washer and dryer and we washed them all. I think the most disappointing and misleading thing was that the water access is treacherous and not really usable. There is no landing at the bottom of the steps seen in the pictures. The steps are steep and crooked and at the bottom (if the tide is out) are jagged rocks and seaweed. We brought kayaks but only used them twice because it was quite difficult and dangerous to launch from the house. This area was not swim-able. I took my kids to a small park down the road to do that. It’s sad because this could be an absolutely beautiful house and property

Wonderful old house close to town

Downtown Boothbay is a perfectly manageable walk, the town swimming hole is even closer, and the house has a stair down to the water, where you can put in a kayak or paddleboard. We were six people (me and wife, in laws, and two teenage kids). We were not cramped, had a great time over three nights. House is not young, but it's in good condition, has a lot of character. No real neighbors to worry about, nice lawn, we saw a family of mink, went kayaking, ate lobster, shopped in boothbay harbor, had a great time.

Just What We Hoped!

We loved this older charmer! The house gave us the feeling of visiting Aunt Anna or our grandparents place. The rooms were comfortable for us and roomy enough for all of us to be together or find our own space. The quiet of early Spring, the nice lawn and the ocean were all what we needed to get together and recoup. Thank you to the staff at Vacassa and the owners of this property. We noted there was likely someone of Finnish heritage I am half Finn and it was fun to share stories about Finland with my friends.

Frustrated

When we arrived, I was taken aback. The pictures on line did not portray the true reality of the house. The pictures were taken with a wide angle lens making the rooms appear larger than they were. The dining room table was our favorite place!!! We basically used the house as a place to sleep which it was adequate. We loved Boothbay Harbor and exploring Maine. I attempted to find out why the fees and expenses regarding the house were NOT given before committing to the property. They were almost as much as what was on the picture as the nightly rate. No where did it say that there would be additional costs. I never received a response to either email. The house was adequate but not portrayed honestly.
