Great views from backyard and living room. Others have described the place as rustic, which is fair as regards wood flooring, paneling and rugs. But beds, sofas and chairs are very comfortable. Heating wasn’t working on the second floor, but they sent someone to look at it almost immediately. Although they couldn’t fix it during our stay, they gave us a fair partial refund.

Perfect Boothbay Harbor location.

This cute eclectic home was in the perfect location for us to enjoy Boothbay Harbor. We were able to easily walk every day to the tourist shopping and eating area. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our stay while in Boothbay. The outdoor area had chairs so we were able to enjoy the sunset looking over the harbor each evening. Communication was above average as they made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. I would recommend this home and stag here again.

This home is situated on a quiet street, but within a half-mile walking distance to the shops, restaurants, and puffin cruise piers. The house is comfortable and well-equipped, with several nice extras. The house was very clean when we arrived. The location is perfect, and we enjoyed sitting outside by the cove.

Fantastic coastal cottage feel! Beautiful view of the the bay. Updated bathrooms and kitchen. Perfect location to walk to center of Boothbay harbor shops and restaurants. My only suggestion...replace any bad window shades with working ones..andCheck all ac unit filters.maybe consider updating the upstairs ac units.We had an amazing time.

Quaint and Walkable

We enjoyed the view from this home and the location very much. Easy walkability to town and having Dunston’s right down the street was a fun perk. The communal spaces are small but cozy. The weather was rainy while we were there so we spent a lot of time nestled up reading and enjoying the view. My only complaint was there was no coffee provided—pretty small gripe and easily remedied!

Sweet Cottage

The cottage was perfect! Location on the water and walkable to town was amazing. Loved the view from the living room. Bedrooms were simple and cozy. Furnishings and art was lovely, so many special coastal Maine vintage touches. Very charming place to stay. Would stay again!

Cozy Cottage on the Water

This cozy little cottage was as advertised and was quite comfortable for the four of us. It has very interesting decor with numerous pieces of antique type artifacts that made for amusing conversations in trying to guess what some of them were. It was very clean with comfortable furniture and well appointed with necessary amenities. Excellent view of the water from the large picture window with an added bonus of a small "pavilion" on the water that would be lovely for cocktails or dinner in warmer weather. Location and access to downtown was excellent. The only problem we encountered during our stay was with the heating system. It was about 40 degrees when we arrived in the evening and the inside temperature did not get to 70 degrees until mid-afternoon the following day. Except for this one issue this would be a five star rating. We would rent this unit again if ever returning to Boothbay Harbor.

Escape

We enjoyed the tranquility of the cottage and we appreciated the antiques connecting the cottage to the past/ history of the area. No issues with our stay. Location was good; the drive to daily activities not tremendous. Loved the village, and the people were so friendly. Great escape from every day life.

It's winter in Boothbay, Maine. Not much you can do about that. The issues were wifi internet was non-functioning and the haunted-like house reeked of cigarettes. Other than smelling like an ashtray, it was on brand with nautical themed old sailor paintings and at least a dozen jackolope antler sets. FUN! s/

Meh

When we got there we couldn’t get the keypad to work. We had to use the side lock box to get in and had to use the key to enter each time. The blinds in each room are TERRIBLE and need to be replaced. The kitchen towels look very dirty. Although it was clean, it needs updated. Get rid of all the “decor”. Less is way better. The remote control to the TV had batteries that were dying. It took forever to change channels and was very frustrating at times. The back/side storm door wouldn’t open all the way. It makes it tricky for someone with limited mobility to get in and out of. A nice update would be a firepit in the backyard. Not a lot of money needs to be poured into it, but it definitely needs some love.

Great location. Beautifully equipped/furnished. NO hot water. Confusing/inaccurate instructions for entering key code. Very pleasant but totally unhelpful assistance in addressing hot water issue. However...would stay there again IF these issues were addressed.

Great house in Boothbay Harbor

We were traveling with my niece and her husband and wanted a place for a few days. This was a great little house. Walkable to the shops, although we were too early in the season and a lot of places weren’t open. Very few issues and the ones we had were taken care of. They do need more wine glasses !! I feel like the pillows needed replaced and the narrow hall going upstairs was lined in both sides with pictures and decor and it was very hard when taking luggage up & down!!! The living room furniture was uncomfortable.
