The property was very nice. Conveniently located and easy to access. Unfortunately, however, the AC units did not have enough capacity to cool the apartment, and when we had to sleep with the windows closed due to rain, the temperature was higher than we would have liked. Lastly, when we stripped the sheets as instructed, it revealed that the mattress pads and pillows were pretty dirty and didn't leave the best impression.

Boothbay Harbor get-away

This two bedroom, two bath 3rd floor apartment in the center of town is perfect! We walked to restaurants, shopping, and the waterfront-it’s all right there! One parking spot is about 1 1/2 blocks away but a quick walk and safe. The blue and white decor is just right for a harbor village. The apartment is equipped with everything you could possibly need, and everything was very good quality. I hope this apartment is available next time I visit Boothbay Harbor because I want to stay here again!

Great location but very inconvenient logistics.

Fun location with great town & harbor views. But - Very inconvenient remote parking with no parking to unload/load luggage. Very steep 3 flights of narrow stairs. The AC is actually large noisy unsightly swamp coolers in each room. Cheap uncomfortable furniture & beds. And, they ask the renter to do most of the tasks of the maid crew, while still charging you for it.

Parking & bedroom size spoiled our stay

The smaller bedroom has a bed frame that does not allow passage on either side without constantly seriously bruising one’s legs. The provided parking is too far away for anyone using their car regularly or or loading and unloading. This should have been disclosed in the listing.

Big fans of Boothbay

This was our 5th visit to Boothbay as a family and our 2nd stay at this property. We absolutely love the central location, the house has everything you need, clean, and a/c units if needed. Oh and washer and dryer which is essesntial when traveling with kiddos in my opinion. I did notice some other mentioned the stairs to get up to the condo which didn’t bother us at all BUT could deter someone if stairs are a problem. We will be back!!! Thanks for hosting us!

Admirals Quarters

Great apartment on the main street in Boothbay Harbor. Close walk to excursions, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and shopping. Very Clean with everything you need. Parking included only a short distance away. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars on the Communication with Property Manager was because when I booked this via VRBO site the property's communication switched to Vascasa (different time zone from me and was given a general answer via email that was not helpful) and I was unable to talk to the local owner/manager of the property when I had a specific question. In my opinion VRBO should have been upfront with this before we booked. I realize this had nothing to do with the local owner/manager. I would definitely recommend this property, location, and owner as well as stay here again.

Lovely renovated property in the center of town

A lovely spot. Big kitchen and relatively large bathrooms for a rental; comfortable beds; central location (& not noisy). Nice water views from the kitchen. The only potential downsides to be aware of are the parking (2 blocks up the hill), the 3rd floor walkup, and the lack of a balcony. If you’re ok with that, it’s a terrific property!

Overall great

Overall a great experience, it’s spacious and has everything you need. A lot to unpack and a lot of stairs to walk up if you’re staying awhile with a family and littles, but we were prepared for that and wasn’t so bad since we stayed a few nights. A little disappointed with one of of the bathrooms, the lights did not work and the tub didn’t drain unless you physically held the drain up. There is a note from the owner of the property to call her if Vacasa doesn’t get back to you, but unfortunately we were a bit too busy to get in touch with her. The space is only listed with one full bathroom, but I inquired about there being 2 before booking and was not told that one did not function properly. Would also recommend turning the AC on if it’s a hot time of year when you arrive and going for a stroll to let the space cool down, it was almost 90 degrees in the space when we arrived since the unit is on the 3rd floor and it was very hot this week. It was really nice that one of the rooms is slightly separated from the rest of the space, when you enter there is a small vestibule with the entrance into the one room and an entrance into the living room, worked well for us as my mother stayed with us. Other than the few things mentioned about we had a great time, right in the heart of town. Was a great stay!

Hidden gem tucked above a charming bayside town!

This apartment was perfect. Once you climbed the stairs, you found yourself in a sunny spacious space with many windows snd beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well appointed as well. It is directly in the middle of bustling Booth Bay, making it steps away from everything and get surprisingly quiet when you shut the door.

Great location, clean, and the perfect spot for our visit to Maine. The apartment had plenty of room to spread out and was well stocked. Parking was an easy walk down the road. We loved having the windows open and enjoying the ocean breeze and the sounds of the harbor.

Perfect home-away-from-home

The pictures in the listing really do show what you are going to get when you arrive. There was plenty of space for all of us (2 adults / 2 school age kids) to be able to spread out and not be on top of each other. We enjoyed all the windows allowing us to view the area while we had our breakfast in the morning. All the beds were comfortable and the pull-out couch had one of the better mattresses on it that we have ever encountered. The location is right by all the shops, the foot bridge, and restaurants. Lots of great "sea-type" touches in the rooms without being overly done. Little extras were found in the closet: beach towels and a cooler for drinks/snacks so had it been warmer we would have used for the beach. The guestbook on the lobster trap table and little chalk board in the kitchen for leaving notes were enjoyable to read. The kitchen had all the cooking items and utensils we needed to make our meals which was key during this covid time. This home was perfect for us during a long weekend break. If we could have stayed longer, we would have! ------- Helpful hints for visitors to this home: If you have not stayed someplace like this and are used to only hotels, please remember that you are in the town in an apartment. You will hear street noise, conversations of shoppers, and the like so if you are used to living in a location that is very quiet, you may want to bring earplugs to help with sleeping. Not a problem for us at all, we've stayed in apartments on busy little streets in the past. There were others in the apartment below us and we never heard them. All the windows were great for us, but if you are used to having a hotel room with darkening drapes, you will want to bring along sleep masks to help keep the light from bothering you. This was not a problem for us, plus we loved all the natural light and being able to gaze at the people shopping. Again, remember this is an apartment and not a hotel - there are stairs you will need to climb to get into the home. Parking is about a block away and is off-street. There is 2hr parking by the apartment, so if you can find a space to unpack, great but if it's a busy time, parking will be hard to find in front of the door.

Beautiful apartment

We enjoyed our stay, the apartment was beautiful and clean. We did this last minute and were happy to be able to find a place for 2 nights. The view out of the windows was just wonderful. I would go back again, but beware of all of the steps. My husband has bad knees and we weren't prepared for that. Also the owner service charges were a little steep to go along with the nightly rate. But I knew that when I booked. You will enjoy the location and convenience!

Great location can not make up for failing the most important basics.

Apartment appeared to be clean and tidy upon arrival at 6PM two hours after check in time on Sunday. At bedtime we realized bed linens in both bedrooms and sofa bed had not been changed (sand in sheets). Also trash and recycle in unit entry way had not been emptied. When we notified TurnKey in the AM of day 2 they apologized and said they would make adjustments to avoid this for future guests. We received a voice mail asking us to take pictures of sand in bed and which sheet on sleeper was not changed fitted or top sheet? Even in non COVID times this is just WRONG! We had to request linens be changed. Dealing with Turn-Key management company was like communicating with SIRI. At no time have has any effort been made to make adjustments to what we were charged. I inquired how to reach out to the owner directly and the SIRI-like response was "Thank you for informing us. If you need anything else, please let us know." Totally frustrating! My biggest concern is the owner of this property may not even be aware of the poor customer experience and poor hospitality guests staying in this property are receiving when there is an issue. This is the first time we have stayed in a VRBO property and have not had communication pre and post stay from the property owner. This is the first negative review I have ever written but I feel it is extremely important for future guests to be aware.

Nestled in the heart of Boothbay. Literally steps away from shops, cafes, boat excursions, etc. Breathtaking 360 degree views of harbor and town. Super comfy memory foam mattresses.

Fantastic stay in Boothbay!

The property was very clean, tastefully decorated and could not beat the location. Right in the heart of all the shopping and best restaurants in Boothbay. The parking could be better, up a hill, two blocks away, in back of an autoparts store. Made unloading bags at start of trip difficult. But overall, terrific property, would gladly stay here again in the future.
