It’s time for a East Boothbay getaway! This rental is secluded, surrounded by trees, and great for a lovely, romantic trip away from home. It's also perfect for nature lovers!

Just 60 miles from Portland and 50 miles from Lewiston, you’ll be able to get to your destination in no time! With plenty of restaurants, day trip options, and more nearby, you'll have a lot to do.

The interior of this home is large and roomy, and has gorgeous high ceilings with exposed beams, and lovely wood floors. Hang out upstairs and warm your hands by the fireplace, enjoying the scent of cookies baking in the oven in the adjacent kitchen.

There's a dining area near the kitchen for formal meals! If you want to head outside to eat, there’s a large deck that runs the length of the home on the second floor, connected to both the living room and the master bedroom. There's a gas grill on the deck for barbecues.

This three-bedroom home sleeps up to five guests. There is one master bedroom on the second floor with a king bed. Another two bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with a twin bed) are both downstairs. Make sure to take note of the two lovely full bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs.

You’ll also find a laundry room downstairs with your very own washer/dryer as well as a family room with a futon and cable TV. Stay connected with the free WiFi throughout the home.

Step out the sliding glass doors and check out the crushed-rock patio. From the patio, you can make your way down the wood-lined pathway to the dock and beach area.

Boothbay Harbor is only four miles away and Ocean Point is three miles away. There are many great seafood restaurants nearby, so don’t miss out on a stellar culinary experience. Have you ever tried sailing or whale watching? Book an excursion in town for a day of adventure!

If you want a great place to stay in Southern Maine, this fantastic beachfront rental could just be the home of your dreams!

Relaxing stay
Great home with charme. Great location, nice views. All you need was there, a dishwasher was missed in the beginning, but wasn‘t really a problem . We all enjoyed our stay very much.

Old home with nice views
This house has great views, a nice dock and was in a good location in Boothbay. The basement was musty; it cleared out a bit by the end of our stay, but with an older home that’s rented I would think the owners would provide a permanent fix. The basement also needed more than one dehumidifier - it was humid and moist for our full stay, so the upstairs was the only enjoyable area.

Our family had an awesome time. The house was in a great location. Lots to do. We loved the open floor plan layout, deck and the dock. My negatives are - when we first entered, it smelt musty - it helped by opening windows. The basement (where 2 bedrooms are) dehumidifier ran constantly. The house was overall clean but dated. A few areas could use deep cleaning. All in all it was worth it and we would stay there again.

Great location - awful house!!!
This house has a great location and lovely views on the water, but should not be allowed to be on the rental market in its current condition. It is filthy and dirty full of mildew that will hit you as soon as you enter. We asked to be moved but the nearest option was 2 1/2 hours away which was not acceptable. The house needs a deep cleaning!!! The furniture and flooring were stained, there were dirty cups in the cabinets, cobwebs everywhere and you couldn’t escape the mildew. There were two dehumidifiers in the basement, one piped into a drain and one not. A Vacasa representative was there as we arrived and didn’t empty, so we did. Within 12 hours, the 5 gallon tank was full again. Until this home is brought up to speed, I would suggest not waist your money renting this house. The house could be very nice if cleaned and deferred maintenance was preformed.

Cosy, but car dependant
The house was nicely equipped, beds were comfortable, view of bay nice. Not pedestrian or bike friendly, however, and the photos don't show how far down it is to the water.

Beautiful older house and great location!
Overall, everything was lovely- beautiful water front property, well stocked (games, puzzles, books, kitchenware) and lovely artwork too! There are some quirks about an older waterfront home- a bit musty and damp indoors.

Great views!
The property was perfect - and the views from the porch and dock were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. We went to Coastal Botanical Gardens to see the trolls, walked along the end of Ocean Point Road and admired the views, had a delicious lobster roll at the Lobsterman's Wharf and pizza from Boothbay Harbor House of Pizza. Not great response from the property manager (Vacasa) but other than that, we would recommend this spot.

Smells of trash
Cleaners didn't remove trash from previous renters and trash storage area is built into the house by the kitchen. We had to deal with a horrible trash smell for most of the week. Also, we booked on VRBO but all correspondence came from Vacasa. I don't remember every paying such huge fees and would think they could at least clean, t as ke out the trash and make sure the toilet bowl kids were attached. Yes, when we showed up one of the kids want attached.

Very private and peaceful
This is a great location in a private setting. You can fish off the dock or be "in town" in a matter of minutes. This is our second time staying in this house and it won't be our last!

Quiet Maine Getaway
The private dock was awesome! Lay down there and look up at the stars, it’s amazing. You get the best of both worlds here, being in the woods and waterfront. Yes the walk down to the dock is slightly physically challenging, but it’s worth it! Everything was in working order and we had everything we needed. My brother said he would come back here with friends. It’s a short drive to the town of Boothbay Harbor for all your shopping and restaurants-although there are some just down the street also. Also just down the road is Ocean Point which is great views, looking for sea glass and enjoying the sunset. Take a walk to the Damariscotta River from the nature preserve trail. It really was a great location. Is the house a little outdated? Yeah, but the dishwasher works and so does everything else! Other reviewers mentioned the mustiness but it wasn’t an issue for us. I didn’t mind emptying the dehumidifier either. If you want a 5 star resort feel then go elsewhere and pay the big bucks. This place was cozy and affordable. I have no complaints!

Amazing stay
Such a beautiful, clean home. We where so excited when we walked through the doors and sad to leave. There was so much privacy and the surrounding town is adorable. Thank you providing such an amazing home to relax and have a great stay! I hope to find myself back here in the future.

Nice House
The house was well located to do all things in the Boothbay area. The lower bedrooms had a musty smell but clean and there was a dehumidifier. The bathrooms had some mold in the showers. There was plenty of towels and wash cloths. We tend to be very busy all day and eat out a couple of times while we travel but we also like to cook in a few nights. The kitchen had everything you need in terms of tools and dishes. My only comment is there was a coffee machine but no coffee pot. We are not a fan of the single serve coffee so this was an issue for us. The very best thing about the house was the view. You cannot be unhappy when you wake up to the beautiful water.

Mostly great
Well provisioned, ample space, quiet, great view of the bay. Lower level is damp this time of year despite running the dehumidifiers. Really nice place that could have used a little more attention this time ahead of our arrival.

Classic summer family house
Enjoyed our stay! Staying here felt like being at a relative’s summer house, stocked with every amenity you could possibly need - a kitchen with multiple sets of dishes, pots, pans, a closet full of spices, books, puzzles and games, extra pillows and bedding, plenty of seating area, pull-out couches, etc. The most attractive part of the house is the flow of the upstairs living room and kitchen, with floor to ceiling glass doors to look out over backyard and Linekin Bay. Try not to arrive here for the first time at night, since a quirky feature is that there are lots of steps in places that you don’t expect. When you open the front door you’re presented with 2 steps leading to the kitchen, 2 to the living room and the staircase leading to the lower level. There’s also a step up to the bathroom, which you will inevitably trip over at some point.

Ideal original Maine vacation home with picturesque view.
Great view through the glass ocean facing wall. This house was built in 1990 and has been maintained if not upgraded much (The Bosch dishwasher is an exception). Everything worked well enough. Internet was a little tricky sometimes and some windows are in need of a little love. East Boothbay is a charming coastal village. 5 minute drive from all essentials (Hannafords). The kids enjoyed it. We would rent here again for sure.
