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, upgraded high-speed wifi, roomy closets, and hickory floors throughout. In the living room is a full-bed sleeper sofa. 

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.
Courtesy quiet hours start at 10 p.m. per local ordinance.
Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the property.

What a gem!
This cottage is as cute as can be. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen, as we cooked local seafood each night. The decor is just adorable- we especially enjoyed the tidal clock on the stairs going up to the bedrooms! Our favorite part was waking up early and going down on the dock with a cup of local coffee to watch the fog, or the tides come and go. Bonus: we bought fresh eggs a few doors down, and garlic from a neighbor around the bend. Star gazing is wonderful, right out your bedroom window! We didn’t want to leave. 10 out of 10!

Wonderful week!
We had a fabulous time at Keeper’s Cove! The location was close to all Boothbay has to offer, but far enough to feel quiet and relaxing. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything you need. it was a wonderful week!

Beautiful house for exploring Boothbay region
This is a beautiful house for exploring the Boothbay Regio. Very close to the Maine Coastal Botanical Garden and beautiful hiking trails like Owens Mouth. The house has everything for the perfect lobster dinner, to bring home a steamed lobster or to steam your own.

Keeper's Cove is a gem
We loved our stay at Keeper's Cover in Boothbay. The house was beautifully done and extremely clean. Judy was fabulous to work with in reaching out to us to let us know we could check in early and to ensure that we were enjoying our stay. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and the beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed spending our mornings drinking coffee on the wonderful deck looking out at the water and relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a lovely house in a great area.
