Beautiful view
Gorgeous house with outstanding views. Rooms are very small compared to pictures. Home is fully stocked, beds are Uber comfortable. Not for older folks or people with disabilities. Lots of stairs and trail to get to house on rocky ledge. No central air or heat, no fire pit. We were very comfortable and fully enjoyed Boothbay. Lots of delicious seafood and great shopping, museums and art galleries. Would highly recommend.

Breathtaking view
The house is built in a perfect place. The photos of the view do not do it justice. We spent the majority of our time out on the deck enjoying the weather and the view. There is so much wildlife that you can view from the house, including seals and bald eagles. The house itself is well furnished and stocked. I travel frequently and book through VRBO the majority of the time and this house was better stocked and equipped than any house I have stayed in. It is also close to restaurants and the downtown area for daily excursions.
I want to add that although the house lacks the modern amenities that most houses have including a HVAC, insulation, and updated bathrooms, staying in this house was wonderful! The weather was perfect so the rooms were cool to sleep in and the normal modern amenities were barely noticed in the "prairie house," as we termed it! :)
You will not regret this house or the view and we highly recommend it. We hope to be back soon!

Unique and charming cottage
The perfect quintessential Maine cottage in a breaktaking location. The house offers a lot of privacy and it was perfect for our two families with two babies. Access to a private beach in the neighborhood. From the deck you can watch the boats pass back and forth on the water. Peaceful, comfortable, relaxing. We are grateful for such a memorable stay!

Quintessential Maine Cottage
This Maine cottage was all that we hoped for. The view was incredible through the large picture windows and on the deck. The cottage was around 100 years old and was not insulated but this added to the character of the place. There were apple floor heaters to stay warm and cozy. It was convenient to many very fun activities and delightful restaurants. I certainly hope to return.

Classic cottage by the sea
Truly unique home in a very beautiful setting. Location was great. Listing did not say that the two bedrooms were actually accessed outside, over a few rocks and down some stairs. Was fine for our family, but worth noting for many others.

Perfect Maine Cottage
If you want a true Maine coastline setting this is the place. The views are amazing and we just sat on the deck and in the house looking out at the harbor. So much to see from boats to wildlife. Very close to Boothbay Harbor town that has great restaurants and things to do. Southport was also right down the road, which was also a great place. The neighbors were great and gave us tips on what to do. Overall, an amazing place to stay!

Amazing Maine
This house is what I think about when I think of Maine. It’s old, but well kept and all necessary modern comforts. The view is what this place is all about. Literally situated on a rocky shoreside with sea, bay and forest views, I don’t think one could have a better view. And the sunroom at the front of the house is perfect to take it all in rain or shine, while the huge deck is perfect for sunny days and clear dark nights. Watch lobsterman pull pots right from the house. Just amazing. And all the kitchen equipment to have a lobster feast!
It’s also a quick 5 minute drive to BoothBay.
