Great place to stay for local sites

A nice, quiet location that is just a walk away from a pretty town, and not too far of a drive away from many great places to visit along the coastline.

Wonderful accommodations and location!

The Lobster Trap was a great place to stay in BBH. It was spacious , clean, and comfortable. Plus, it's dog friendly. There's a nice spot to sit outside and it's a pleasant walk to downtown. We couldn't have asked for more.

Just what we needed!

We were vacationing with a large family who had lodgings just a mile up the road, and the Lobster Trap was a perfect home-base for our family - clean, quiet, and spacious. Recommend!

Nice location. Quiet neighborhood

The house was nice, and clean. Neighborhood was quiet. No fire pit which was shown in original pictures. Overall it was clean and easily accessible. We appreciated the dog dishes and having washer and dryer was nice.

Nice place close to the town centre

We enjoyed the stay in this beautiful town of Boothbay Harbour very much. Everything was close and reachable by foot. Apartment was clean and everything was there (shampoo, towels, soap etc). One minor disadvantage was, that it wasn't possible to darken the bedrooms properly.

Lobster trap

Location of unit was great. Nice quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to town. Our suggestion for the bath, either put a grab bar by the toilet or put in a higher toilet. Older people really appreciate bar or higher commode. Beds were very comfortable.

Lobster cove stay

The living space was nice and clean. No views of anything from home. Missing a few standard kitchen needs for maine like lobster cooking pot and crackers. This is a 2 story place and someone lives on 2nd floor but very quite person no issues at all. Great location in boothbay within walking distance of most local harbor attractions.

Lobster Trap/Boothbay Harbor, ME

Nice first floor apartment with two big bedrooms. Plenty of living room and kitchen space. Could have used a couple of more frying pans….there was only one. The only issue that we had was the living room smoke/CO2 detector was missing the battery, thus it was not working. We bought some 9 Volt batteries only to discover that it required AA batteries. I was a bit uncountable with this fact. Other than that, our stay was great.

Great location, with minor inconveniences

The location is amazing and is what you are paying for, however some improvements could be made to the property itself. The only AC is located in the second bedroom because the windows in the rest of the property are old and cannot fit a unit. One of the windows in the primary is broken and can't even be opened. The hairdryer is from the 1990s and is broken- there is no switch to turn it on or off. The main light in the bathroom also does not work. The place was otherwise clean, has plenty of space and like mentioned above is in a great location as it is a 10 minute walk to main downtown boothbay harbor.

Excellent in most ways… unique, and attractively furnished.

comfort, cleanliness,location kitchen size and equipment (in the main) excellent, except more sauce pans needed!! A very pleasant and comfortable stay. We loved it and will return….for a longer stay next time we hope. But at my age, who knows? One thing that was great for us is that there was one step up at the front door and everything else is on the same level, so we felt safe and very much at home.

Great Base for Booth Bay Harbor area.

We were absolutely thrilled with the Lobster Trap. Close enough to everything, but not in the middle of it all. No worries about parking which could have been an issue elsewhere. We had our own lobster restaurant only steps away. The Lobster Trap was very clean. We had plenty of room and enjoyed BBH, out and about as well as when we were at our home away from home. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was excellent and exactly as described. The location was perfect, very close to the footbridge and downtown and we could easily walk to everything in the Harbor. But far enough away to enjoy the quiet. It was really nice not having to think about parking. Barrett park is very close too, and was a great place for the family to relax, kids to play, swim, fish and watch the boats and seals in the cove.The house was clean and well stocked, including the kitchen. Plenty of blankets, bath and beach towels, toiletries and supplies. Washer/dryer were great to have with a family. Second bedroom was large and nice for our kids to have their own space. Upstairs neighbors were quiet. We would definitely stay here again.
