Just a short, overnight stay ...

but would highly recommend this property. Everything our group needed - very comfortable and within a quick drive to downtown Boothbay. Rental was off a busy road but was very quiet and peaceful. We only used this as a stopping off point for our travel further north but would consider staying again and for a longer period.

New England get away

We had a wonderful stay. The unit was just as pictured except for a large sectional for additional seating. Very clean and up to date. Location was good easy to get into Boothbay Harbour as well as traveling to near by towns like Damariscotta. It was a nice quiet location to return to in the evening. Bed was very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone considering staying here and would love to stay again.

A delightful house w/great location

The house sits on a quiet, pretty lot, surrounded by the woods. It's 2 miles from a grocery store and drug store, and also very close to town, where there are 1/2 dozen great seafood restaurants. The house is nicely furnished, and comfortable. The lighting is actually great -- you just have to find the switches on the far wall. The heat and cooling worked well.

Shipbuilder’s Retreat is a lovely property with plenty of space to spread out. The space was sparkling clean, well designed, and very comfortable. The property is a duplex (separated by two single car garages adding sound insulation and privacy) nestled in the woods but with very nice landscaping. It is close to shopping, downtown Boothbay, and access to local sites making it very convenient while still being tucked away. All the main entertainment apps are available on the TVs for your personal sign in. I have two recommendations: the main sofa needs to be repaired since the seat seems to have collapsed a bit, and a non-slip mat should be provided for the bathtub as it is very slippery when wet. One may have been there and we missed it, but we were able to purchase one at the Family Dollar down the road. Overall, however, this is a wonderful place that we would visit again and would highly recommend!! Thank you for your hospitality!

Great spot for Boothbay Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was well appointed with all the amenities we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the evening patio and was able to see fireflies in the evenings. The unit was super clean and comfortable. Our communication with the property manager was prompt. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our visit to Boothbay Harbor.

Great find!

This was a great find if you don’t want to stay in the chaos of the harbor. Very quiet and relaxing but a quick drive to the harbor for activities (just go early to find parking). The house is well-equipped - we saved money by buying lobsters and cooking them at the house. Don’t miss the botanical gardens, Farm 23 bakery or sunset on ocean point!

Very nice accommodations, everything we needed in a convenient location, would stay again. We had a great quick one night stay in Boothbay at this VRBO. (Only suggestion is better bath towels. We did not have enough and they were thin embroidered decorative type towels for showering.)
