Charming Waterfront Cottage

Keepers Cove is located just over the swing bridge on Barters Island. Here, the salty Back River tidal waters meet the Sheepscot River offering lovely views and an abundance of seabird sightings. Seals have also been known to make an appearance. Keepers Cove is very close to nature preserves, walking trails, waterfront vistas, Mill Cove Lobster Pound, Back River Boat Launch, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and is a short drive to the many shops, galleries, and restaurants of Boothbay Harbor.

Keepers Cove is a charming 1,078 sq ft waterfront Boothbay cottage with 2-bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, that has been fully updated inside and out. Inside, you’ll find a roomy well-appointed kitchen with custom cabinets, honed granite counters, and stainless steel appliances.

The cottage is a light-filled, open-concept living space with window AC units, casual furnishings, modern decor, second-floor bedrooms, 2 smart TVs with free Guest Netflix Service, upgraded high-speed wifi, roomy closets, and hickory floors throughout.  

The dining room slider opens up to a sunny deck with a table and 4 chairs, a grill, and a high-top table with 2 chairs. There is a winding path to the private waterfront dock with wooded surroundings. Optimal kayak or small boat launch at high tide.

IMPORTANT:
To ensure peace of mind during your stay, we offer two options for damage protection: a small, one-time non-refundable Accidental Damage Waiver (our most convenient and guest-preferred option) or a fully refundable Security Deposit, returned after your stay if no damage is reported. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll be prompted to complete this step.
Courtesy quiet hours start at 10 p.m. per local ordinance.
Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the property.
