What a wonderful place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay right on the water in Boothbay Harbor. We had a perfect view of the fireworks! The beds were amazing, and everything was well-appointed. Thank you for making our return trip to Boothbay Harbor so enjoyable!

Sitting on the dock by the bay

This rental was everything we wanted in a vacation spot. From the view, private dock, plenty of outdoor seating and the location we couldn’t have been happier. This property is very close to town and plenty close by to go see. Thank you for letting us enjoy this slice of heaven and we’re already talking about coming back to Maine.

Such a Sweet Haven

The views were amazing. The house was great. We didn’t use the studio but what a perfect way for a family or two couples to stay. It was just a brief walk to town. And a short drive for hikes. Couldn’t have stayed anywhere that would have been better

Retreat on Precious coastal Maine

Lovely two house on a wharf rental. Watch the tides come in and out. Short walk or drive to charming town of Boothbay with shops and very good restaurants. Quiet houses and privacy. Great for two couples.

Harborside magic

Wanted to take my teenagers for a quick getaway to Maine—someplace where we could play board games, look at water, and walk to a good coffee shop. We got it all at these wonderful cottages in Boothbay Harbor! What a sweet spot. Even better than the photos. Beds super comfy. Views are gorgeous and peaceful. We recommend bringing earplugs and a noise machine for anyone sleeping in the bunk house at the end of the pier. Our first night was windy and the dock groans loudly in response to wind and waves. Still a five star experience.

Cute cottage on the dock

This place was adorable! It was convenient to Boothbay Harbor yet away from all the tourist traffic. It was very peaceful. We could have spent all of our time sitting on the deck/dock and watching the water - so soothing. We were lucky enough to be there when fireworks were set off in Boothbay Harbor. What a great view sitting in comfortable chairs on the dock. We could see the fireworks and the reflection in the water.

Wonderful double home on the water!!!!

Separate front and back houses were perfect for us. One bedroom per home, front house has the kitchen and area for extra guests. Super clean and well appointed. Having your own private docks was amazing. Perfect relaxation! Boothbay is a wonderful coastal town with a mix of active fishing and shoreline tourism. Will definitely stay here again when I return to the area.

Perfect respite when traveling w/ older parents

The layout of the two separate spaces was perfect for our annual trip w/ my parents to Boothbay Harbor to visit w/ family out on Southport Is. My only ‘heads up’ is for those who prefer early morning showers: we had to tiptoe thru the room my parents were in to use the shower. But that was very deal able for us. Otherwise: we can’t wait to return again next year. The view, location and overall ambiance suited us all very well. Any questions we had were answered promptly.

Lived up to the name!

Sweethaven was most definitely a sweet haven! Location is amazing, just right up the road from downtown Boothbay Harbor. The views from the home and deck are gorgeous! And you would never know the home is right on the road, very private and quiet. Having the two spaces (main + guesthouse) was perfect for our girls trip. The rooms were huge! We’ve also already googled the mattresses in the home because we had the best night sleep of our lives! Sad to leave and will most definitely be back. Thank you Sweethaven!

Sweet Haven Indeed! A+++

My husband and I were celebrating our 39th anniversary and wanted to enjoy coastal relaxation for the weekend. Sweet Haven exceeded every hope we had and more! Charming gardens, bright, immaculately clean and tastefully decorated inside. Thoughtfully outfitted kitchen with quality cooking equipment etc. Comfortable beds. The decks are beyond glorious. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. But we will certainly be back! Thank you for helping us make our anniversary so memorable.

Sweetest stay!

This was my second time staying at Sweet Haven, and it was just as lovely as I remembered! The decor is charming, the beds are super comfortable, and the location can’t be beat — just a short walk to downtown shopping and restaurants, but perfectly tucked away on the water for a peaceful escape. We loved relaxing on the dock and at the house. It was a wonderful stay, and I’m already looking forward to coming back again!

What a treat!

Oh man, if only the weather would've cooperated, I might have never left. Being right on the water and relaxing on the dock in the sun (when it rarely peaked out) was so good for the soul! Also, I know it's random, but the little unassuming shower has AMAZING pressure. A rarity in vacation rentals, I find. Sweet Haven is such a little gem.

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

a 5 rating for the location. Sweethaven was our home base to explore many surrounding places: Bath, Rockland, Pemaquid, Botanical Gardens, etc. Having the separate sleeping studio was perfect, as we were 2 couples. 4 rating because the inside kitchen did not have a table large enough for 4 people to eat together. and there is only 1 shower. Not a big deal, but sometimes inconvenient. We loved sitting on the dock watching the eagles soar. :). We were very comfortable there.
