Cute and cozy stay!

This converted horse barn is a charming, cozy place to stay that's close to places to eat, shopping, and the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor. It's was easy to get to, very clean, very comfortable, very quiet! We stayed for 3 nights and would certainly recommend this property for parties of 2, or a couple with 1 kiddo. We really enjoyed our stay and would rebook if in the area again.

Week at the seashore

The barn was super cute - it was hotter and more humid than expected and the barn kept us cool! Location was central to everything - we walked to all our new BBH faves. We loved our stay.

Beautiful, cozy space - great location!!

My mom and I stayed at the Barn for four night in August on a mother/daughter vacation. We loved the place!! It’s super cozy and felt like a real home. The location is great for walking into town. We stayed in one night and cooked local seafood on the grill and told stories over wine in the living room. Ceilings going up the stairs are a little low but once you figure it out, it’s easy to navigate, even for my 75 year old mom!

Quaint cottage

The cottage was clean and cute. The location was convenient to town but not special. Our only misgiving was difficulty with the entry codes and lock box although the support team remained dedicated to troubleshooting and we ultimately prevailed. I would recommend the property for a short stay by a small group.

Great central location. Super close to town.

House was perfect for the 3 of us. Stairs to second floor are narrow and tight for my 6 foot tall hubby. He hit his head a few times. There were a few cobwebs around on the stairs. Sheets, towels and beds were great.

A lovely place to stay for a few days

The Bayside Barn was a good choice for the three of us. It was simple and unpretentious, and was within our budget. We would suggest a few more items in the kitchen, such as a longer knife for cutting food, and a few wine glasses. Otherwise, we had everything we needed.

Great Getaway!

The Barn was everything promised. It was cozy, exceptionally clean, comfortable, and perfect for a few days away. The location was within a few restaurants or a quick ride down-town. If you're a walker, you will love this area. The Barn was very comfortable for me, soloing. It provide privacy and quiet when needed and all the amenities you need for cooking, grilling and the like. I would do this again in a heartbeat and this trip and location of the Barn is definitely on repeat for me!

LOVE!

This stable turned boho-chic home was a perfect size and location. My husband and I walked everywhere besides when we drove a few hours to Acadia National Park. My only complaint is that the check-out instructions were not given to us until about an hour before our check-out time. Other than that everything was fabulous!

Cozy Classic Maine

100%-accurate-to listing, darling, perfectly appointed jewel box. Everything we needed for creating yummy meals, incredibly comfy beds and furniture for naps, reading and movies. Splits/tv remotes were very easy to operate which was a surprise - usually very frustrating. Walking distance to the lovely center of town, also a great base for long, wandering walks thru quaint Boothbay Harbor neighborhoods, minutes from the footbridge into town. Was so happy to arrive, bummed to have to leave.

Charming cottage

Loved this little house. Comfy bed,, well decorated with a simple kitchen that’s very functional and easy to use. It’s a great location to enjoy the Harbor. My issue was with the lack of support from Vacasa when I was unable to unlock the keypad door. It was pouring rain and late and it wasn’t until my 3rd call to customer support when I was given an option to get me in. We pay outrageous additional fees to stay at any VRBO/Vacasa properties and yet customer services seem low priority. I’m moving away from VRBO rentals and going to renting thru smaller vendors. It is more affordable with a local owner or person to help.

Cute and rustic

Very cute lodgings - the house had everything you would need. The washing machine and dryer was on the first floor. It was like staying in a converted small barn with old fashioned sinks and overall layout was clean. However, there were a couple of things to watch out for. We arrived at night and everything was pitch dark and even tho we had 3 GPS’s on us (2 phones and 1 in car) it took walking up Park St. to find the house. This was addressed with the property manager and they said they would resolve this by leaving some lights on. Also, we were 2 seniors (68 & 70). The walk to the house was up a short hill with uneven pavers then another 3 steps to the door. Inside the only bathroom was upstairs so plan your steps accordingly! 😄

Great location and comfortable spot

Great spot in the Booth Bay harbor neighborhood. Short walks to the outstanding local lobster wharf, the walkway to town, and Mama’s for breakfast. Clean and comfortable with an upstairs queen bedroom, a very small single bedroom. Bathroom is also upstairs. Great place for an active couple.

Perfect for 5'6" or less

I thought I left a review already but apparently that was with vacasa's website, fitting since they are the reason I took a star off. Property itself 1) Location was perfect! 2) Downstairs was great and plenty big for 2 3) Really wish it was in the listing how short the ceilings were upstairs...if 5'7" or taller expect to stoop or bang your head a lot Management Company 1) Thought it was clean until my wife thought she dropped something...pulled back downstairs braided rug and mass of dirt and old dental floss stick underneath...company does not clean very well, pretty gross 2) Mini split throwing E7 error code 3 of 4 times trying to use heat. Figured out what the issue was but had no idea how to fix it by looking at outside unit 3) Called management company twice using # in guest guide in house. No answer either time and left a message 2nd time for a Joe or Jordan (??) that we were leaving a day early...no return call (I asked for one due to heat issue and cleaning) and likely not acknowledged since I didn't get a check out email from vacasa until next morning. All in all, house was great and perfect location, but management company brings it down a star.

This was exactly what we hoped for! The place is clean, cozy and so easy to get around from this location. Sure you might hot your head on the stairs, but if your my height (5'5") your good! But seriously we can't wait to book again next time we come up!
