Enjoyable family cacation

Beautiful location, very well-equipped, great water activities, saw seals, lots of nice amenities (loved the espresso machine). Cat and dog thoroughly enjoyed themselves - nice walks, dinners in Wiscasset, lobsters at Five Islands. We all experienced amazing sleep!

Great Get Away Location

Charming rustic cottage situated on the water. The outdoor area was perfect for our needs, featuring a fire pit and ample comfortable seating. The dock was fantastic for swimming, relaxing, and securing our boat. Each day, we explored a different destination by boat, indulging in local dining and taking in the stunning views. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway.

Great family get away

Simply fantastic location and home- had every amenity needed and was able to sleep 6 adults, two children) . We saw incredible wildlife (bald eagles, osprey, porpoises, loons, even a humpback whale made an appearance). Hosts were very responsive. Would definitely return.

Perfect spot for a quiet get-away

This is our second trip to the Boathouse to celebrate our anniversary. The new owners have clearly put a lot of time and love into making it even better than the first. New dock to now access the water. Beautiful new rock patio and firepit to enjoy those Maine mornings and chilly evenings. And of course the rustic but beautifully appointed boat house to unplug and relax. Can’t wait to go back!

Incredible spot!

First off…I don’t even want to type this review as I don’t want anyone else to find this gem. Everything from the first communications with the owner to the day we left went perfectly. Fantastic communication and much appreciated advice on things to do. The house is exactly what we had hoped it would be. The views are amazing and the location is wonderful. The owners built a new dock and float that are top notch. We simply love it. You know it’s a great trip when you simply don’t want to leave. I started researching squatters rights though realized we at some point had to come back to reality…. Needless to say, we highly recommend this property.

Mini adventure

What a terrific escape! My family and I enjoyed this fabulous property for a 5 day / 4 night break from the 'real world.' Even as a native New Englander, I never fully appreciated the rugged beauty of Maine until we were able to live it like locals this summer. Andy was a very gracious host and the property more than lives up to the spectacular photos on the website. A humpback whale made multiple appearances just 100 yards off the end of the dock and we saw porpoises up close while paddling in the kayaks. We fished (without luck) but had fun crabbing, swimming, walking and jogging. The road is so pretty and the patio is the perfect place to hang out with a fire, a book, and the ballgame on the radio. The house is both comfortable and filled with vernacular charm. What a treat! The tourist attractions are predictably fun, especially Booth Bay Harbor. If you go in to town to run errands, Shaws (670 Bath Rd); Garden Island Laundry (681 Bath Rd); and Ames True Value Hardware (447 Bath Rd) are go to stops. Treat yourself to breakfast at Market Place Cafe (681 Bath Rd) while your clothes are in the spin cycle. This is where the locals go and the coffee alone is worth the trip. Every trip should be this good! Thanks Andy!!

Beautiful place

This converted boathouse is so perfect. Has plenty of room and all of the amenities we needed. The view is absolutely stunning. We never even went out to eat, we'd get carryout and bring it back to the house because you couldn't beat the view. The location is very peaceful. We loved everything about this place.

We all had a wonderful time. Something for everyone. The house is completely charming, the view and area spectacular. I noticed they didn’t have a tv, so we brought our own and that worked out fine.

Midcoast Haven!

This being our first time in Maine we wanted a uniquely Maine experience and this converted boathouse on the sea was everything we had hoped for. The tide comes in and out right beneath the house, and if you have rain, the sound of the drops falling on the roof as you sleep is pure heaven. We travel a lot and seldom are we so sure that we want to come back to a place. We found the location perfect for further exploring, but we rarely wanted to leave! While the rental has been recently acquired, the hosts are already pros at communcation. The ambience is really special, the master bed is very comfortable and the furnishings and kitchen are well done. Thanks to the new owners for allowing others to share their wonderful place.

Our home away from home

This is the fifth time we have stayed at the Boathouse in the last seven years. Needless to say we love it there. It's a wonderful stay for a couple on their own (us) or a couple with (older) kids and we have had friends stay for a few nights in the past. The downstairs windows looking out over the river are an ever-changing delight - who needs a TV screen? The kitchen is fully equipped and we love to have the wood stove lit to provide our screen time (and warmth) when the night grows dark. The king bed is very comfortable. The shower is a good size with good water pressure but there are a couple of places that need some deep cleaning. We appreciate the new owners' willingness to honor the booking made before they purchased it and they were very pleasant people and easy to deal with.

Terrible Experience -Host canceled night before on us

This host tried to force us to sign something he typed up himself. He also tried to nickel and dime us by charging us $350 for kayaks and other add ons. I actually thought he was wanting me to sign the Kayak rental I didn’t realize he took it upon himself to create his own seperate agreement. VRBO told me I was not obligated to sign and Andrew the host canceled the reservation at 10pm the night before we were to check in, terrible experience

Peaceful solitude in gorgeous spot

Amazing views. Very peaceful setting. If you want solitude and a tastefully renovated historic dwelling this is the place for you. If you want to be close to Damariscotta or Boothbay just know it’s a pretty good drive. My one recommendation to the owners is consider fixing the stairs to be equal heights — it’s an accident waiting to happen, especially for kids and older people.
