girls weekend
The location of this home was fantastic just a quick 5-minute walk down into town! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Parking is tight but we managed. The TV was the only issue could not figure that one out. Could not get anything to work with either remote but it was not a big deal for us as we had other things to do. All in all, it was a good stay, and I would recommend this home to others but maybe not with little ones due to all the antiques which seem to take over a bit of the space.

Beautiful view and great location!
Love the charm of this house! The view out the back is perfect and it is so close to town! Cooking utensils, as well as pots and pans need updating and the sheets were very scratchy. Also, a grill out back would’ve been nice. Otherwise, I would’ve given it five stars.

Sweet spot, best in high season
It was an off season weekend away. Boothbay Harbor was almost completely asleep except a few dog walkers and the popcorn store. It was quiet and picturesque. The house is small and cozy, but with ample room to relax, and a surprising amount of bedroom space and bathrooms! All the necessities you need for a long weekend. Due to the off season, the house needed some TLC. There was ice on the driveway and steps, dusty lights and dishes, the internet password didn't work, and the sink sprayer was broken. Nothing more than inconvenient though, and is stay there again just to take a closer look at the antiques, art, and to enjoy the outdoors, just durng better weather seasons.

Nice house, poor management company running it
Inside of the house was great, and as advertised. Outside of the house was the challenge - side entrance deck was completely covered in ice/snow and was a treacherous hazard, including having one of our guests fall. Understand it is Maine, but the entrance should have been cleared before our arrival. Would have been happy to clean the area if it snowed after our arrival (which it did) but there were no shovels/ice melt.

Cozy cottage with a great view
I stayed at the property with a friend for a girls weekend. The pictures were accurate, though, if anything, it was even cuter than the photos depicted. The kitchen was well stocked; the house was clean; the beds were comfortable; and the view was amazing. It had all the elements for a perfect spot to stay.

Perfect
The property was even better than we anticipated. The location was perfect…on the Bay and within walking distance of the community. The pavilion (that we affectionately refer to as the boathouse) became our favorite place! The local representative was extremely responsive when we had a slight issue. We hope to return!

Highlight property of our trip!
Highlight property of our trip! My wife and I, along with my cousin and his wife, visited boothbay Harbor and Bar Harbor for a few days each. This property is absolutely awesome. The house itself is extremely comfortable but there is a pavilion outside that hovers right on the edge of the water and it is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the company of others staying with us. We had a great time and all agreed that this was one of the better properties we have ever stayed in. It is also very walkable to town which was a huge plus for us
