The best of downtown Boothbay Harbor is a short walk away from Boothbay Cottage, a 3BR/2BA home. Original accents pay homage to the home’s coastal history, while a sparkling kitchen with stainless steel appliances creates modern convenience. In the evenings, make use of the gas grill or relax by the wood-burning firepit in the backyard.

In addition to beloved downtown restaurants, Bayside Cottage also keeps you close to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, riverside fishings spots, and ocean-adventure boat charters. Take a 10-minute stroll into town over the Harbor Footbridge.

A plush sofa set invites you to unwind in the living area. The flat-screen TV with Roku allows you to log in to your preferred streaming services. Complimentary board games provide additional entertainment options. Stainless steel appliances and sleek soapstone countertops bring modern style and upscale utility to the kitchen. When you’re ready to eat, gather around the table for seven in the dining area.

This home sleeps seven guests in three bedrooms. Sleep soundly on a queen-size bed in the primary suite. The en-suite bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom holds a queen-size bed, whereas the third bedroom is furnished with a full-size bed and a twin-size bed. The guest bathroom includes a tub/shower combination. Prepare tasty meals on the patio's gas grill.

Take a reflective stroll through the backyard and enjoy the relaxing coastal breeze. On clear nights, roast marshmallows over the wood-burning firepit. Extra perks include complimentary Wi-Fi and a private washer/dryer.

The process of taking my second payment wasted 30 minutes of my time by the time I tried the process twice online and spoke to two different people. The second person acknowledged the Vacasa online system was not working. She clearly could have cared less about my experience or my time. The first two floors of the house were good. We noticed a very musty smell by the second day. We discovered the basement had standing water and mold on the floor. One of the Vacasa people came over to look at and shared there was in fact a leak, mold and spiders. He taped the leak the best he could but it did not fix the problem. He tried to bring over a dehumidifier, but the owner told him there was one already there. He wanted me to go check (I was not at the house). We also did not have wireless internet the whole time. The same Vacasa person confirmed the wireless did not work. Nobody was able to reset the router, because it was in another un accessible house. The text and communications with the Vacasa team was terrible the whole time. After they seemed to drop any conversation around the dehumidifier, I was basically ghosted. As an example, I asked if it was possible to get a later check out. They did not respond until after I had left the unit.Not withstand the basement and internet was fine. Unfortunately, the Vacasa service was repeatedly terrible. I would like for VRBO to investigate this group. This was the worst VRBO experience I have ever had.

Not what we expected

We walked in and left within 5 minutes. This property is not suitable for 70 year old people due to a very narrow and high pitched staircase to the 2nd floor. The refrigerator door was dirty and dusty enough to be able to write on it. We researched several homes before selecting this due to the nice photos, however they are not representative of the actual property. Grounds were overgrown in front. Vacassa was very good and refunded our rental payment within two weeks.

Somewhat Disappointed

My children and I were excited for our visit to Boothbay Harbor, and this rental would be the perfect spot to stay. Based on the listing and recent reviews, we chose this cottage. Once we arrived, our first impression was it was so cute and perfectly located! After a few minutes, we discovered that the listing had incorrect information about air conditioning. In the listing...in three different spots...under "popular amenities," "essentials," and "amenities" it states air conditioning would be available. It was over 80 degrees upstairs in two bedrooms and extremely uncomfortable, plus downstairs was not much better. I reached out immediately to property management asking for more fans. They said there was nothing in agreement for them to help. I did send email, too, and got a response on our 4th day offering to check out the place. We were leaving the next day, so I didn't respond. Luckily, the temperatures outside dropped during our 2nd night so it got a bit more comfortable inside. I have used VRBO numerous times, and this is the first encounter of false information in a listing. Others should know before they rent. Other than that...the house was clean and perfectly located. We had fun in the area!

Awesome home away from home!!

Can’t say enough great things about this lovely home! So clean, fresh and bright! The downstairs bedroom and bathroom was perfect for my older dad. The location couldn’t have been better. We easily walked all around town and the town is so great! Very quiet and so many places to eat and shop! Will most definitely be back and may even stay in the Barn!!

Lovely October Visit

The location of this property is amazing!! The house was well stocked and had everything we needed! The backyard is adorable. I only deducted a star because (as previously mentioned in reviews) the couch covers could use a cleaning and under the couches/beds. We had to wash a few toys that rolled under there. But not the end of the world. Overall, I would recommend this house and stay here again!

Wedding in Boothbay Harbor

The property was just as we expected it upon arrival. Unfortunately for check-in, the key pad for the lock wasn’t working, however it was immediately corrected. The property was clean, felt “homey”, and was in excellent proximity to the walking bridge to town, a cute breakfast spot, and more! We had all the amenities we needed. I left a pair of shoes there that I would not want to loose, and the owner went above and beyond to partner with the management agency to get them back to me. This spoke volumes about the integrity of the process and this property. I would come back here again for certain.

Disappointing

Location is great but small for 7. Bedrooms are quite small (especially downstairs) but biggest issue was heat—no AC and poorly ventilated. It was hotter in the house than outside . Needs an outdoor table and at least an umbrella to provide some shade.

Adorable home and easy walk to downtown

Loved this property! We had 6 adults and had a great time. Living room- dining room- kitchen all open concept. Great for hanging out, cooking, watching movies. Easy walk to restaurants, footbridge and shops. We had a large SUV that took up the length of the driveway so not sure how to fit two cars. Easy check in and hosts were very responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The house was in a great location, but the house was not equipped for the amount of people istated o

We had a plumbing issue the first day which resulting in not being able to use one of the bathrooms for almost two days of our seven day stay. Turnkey did not even bother to call to see if the problem was resolved. The representative who was sent to the house to handle the situation was rude and condescending. The house ill equipped for the six people staying there, with only minimal supplies (ie. 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, etc.) for the week. There were only 6 towels for the whole house for the week which prompted us to do laundry every day. Items that would be expected in a home in the area, such as a large pot or lobster pot, were no where to be found. Or experience with TurnKey was very negative and we would think twice before using a service which used them again.
