Nice location, needs refresh
Great location, on water in Mill Cove - so don’t expect ocean/bay views. But was very easily walkable to downtown area, yet isolated from tourist throngs. Check-in was easy but locking up instructions a bit confusing. Bed was clean and comfortable but bedroom furniture substandard and electrical access for nightstands depended upon unsafe use of cheap extension cords. House smelled musty and several windows on first floor could not be opened to air out. Whole house needs a deep clean and refresh. Floors/kitchen shelves were not clean. Several dishes were put away wet and had a brown residue as a result, making us question the quality of the water (needs whole house filter for the well water). Lawn furniture broken. Contractor showed up and started a chimney repair while we were there with no communication from him or owner. The theme is “rustic” but is borderline run-down. Disappointing.

Escape
We enjoyed the tranquility of the cottage and we appreciated the antiques connecting the cottage to the past/ history of the area. No issues with our stay. Location was good; the drive to daily activities not tremendous. Loved the village, and the people were so friendly. Great escape from every day life.

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

The second week of our Maine vacation was spent at this Sea Street house. The house is very comfortable and convenient to the waterfront and shops in town. Whether sitting in the back yard and looking across the cove or hanging out in the pavilion having a meal of playing games, it was a terrific stay.

This was great for our family of 6. Plenty of space and terrific views. Location is perfect - close to town, right on the water, but also quiet. The house doesn’t have a private dock, but we were able to rent paddle boards and kayaks in town several times and paddle to the bay behind the house during high tide. Highly recommend this place!

Great house in Boothbay Harbor
We were traveling with my niece and her husband and wanted a place for a few days. This was a great little house. Walkable to the shops, although we were too early in the season and a lot of places weren’t open. Very few issues and the ones we had were taken care of. They do need more wine glasses !! I feel like the pillows needed replaced and the narrow hall going upstairs was lined in both sides with pictures and decor and it was very hard when taking luggage up & down!!! The living room furniture was uncomfortable.
