About this property

Quintessential Cape Vibes in Boothbay

Enjoy a comfortable and spacious New England home with room for up to seven guests, just minutes from downtown Boothbay Harbor, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, local restaurants, and classic Maine lobster shacks.

With nearly 2,500 square feet, this warm and inviting home offers plenty of room for families or groups to relax, gather, and spread out. The house features three upstairs bedrooms, five beds, 2.5 updated bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, a private deck, and ample parking.

All three bedrooms are located upstairs. The primary bedroom has a queen-size four-poster bed and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, and the third bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a sofa bed with a full size Bob-O-Pedic mattress in the downstairs sunroom, which has a barn door for added privacy. The upstairs includes a second full bathroom, and all bathrooms are stocked with amenities such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

The large eat-in kitchen is well stocked for cooking and gathering, with quality pots, cookware, and everything needed for a classic New England lobster boil. Guests will also find a Keurig, a Cuisinart gold-filter coffee maker, a coffee grinder, and a new electric five-burner stove. Basic kitchen essentials are provided, including spices, oils, trash bags, foil, and plastic wrap.

For comfort during the warmer months, the home has window A/C units downstairs and in each bedroom. Maine summers are usually mild, but the A/C is available for the occasional hot day.

Please note that the home has two sets of stairs to the upstairs bedrooms, including one staircase that leads directly to the primary bedroom. There are also two steps on the first floor: one step up into the kitchen and one step down into the sunken living room. These steps are clearly marked for guest safety.

This is a well-stocked, comfortable home in a wonderful Boothbay location — perfect for enjoying the coast, exploring the harbor, visiting the gardens, and relaxing with family or friends.

Really lovely home. If you're sensitive to road noise (we are) just sleep in the bedroom facing the back yard, it was just as comfy as the master. The kitchen is perfect, the back yard is gorgeous to watch sunsets from.

This was a great home! Easy check-in, great location that was 5 minutes from the harbor driving, 6 minutes to the beautiful botanical gardens. The home was cozy and fit our needs. Our only little suggestion is to trim the bush by the mailbox because it was hard to see oncoming traffic when backing out of the driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Alan Goldberg

Host profile image
We’ve lived in Maine at different points throughout our lives, including permanently for the past 10 years in both Kennebunk and Dresden. My wife and I love homes with character, small towns, and quaint villages — and the Boothbay house checks all of those boxes and more.

As frequent VRBO and Airbnb guests ourselves, we know how much the little things matter when traveling. We’ve tried to furnish and stock the house with the comforts and modern amenities we appreciate when we’re away from home, including fine linens, a well-stocked kitchen, and a sparkling clean space.

I’ve also had a lifelong passion for antiques and classic homes, and I’ve enjoyed buying, furnishing, and caring for many houses over the years. We’ve taken great pride in making the Boothbay house feel comfortable, welcoming, and full of classic New England charm.

We are well traveled and spend the winter months each year in Lagos, Portugal, but we are always happy to return to Maine.

We hope you enjoy the house and the Boothbay area as much as we do. Please feel free to share your travel stories with us — we’re always looking for our next adventure!

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: easy access to Boothbay Harbor and a quieter, more private place to relax at the end of the day.

Boothbay Harbor is one of Maine’s classic coastal destinations, with beautiful ocean views, wonderful restaurants, lighthouses, boat tours, island-hopping, and plenty of fresh lobster. The area also has a world-class botanical garden, art galleries, local shops, antique stores, and charming nautical boutiques to explore.

The house is located in Boothbay, just about five minutes from downtown Boothbay Harbor. Guests can enjoy being close to the harbor, shops, restaurants, and attractions, while also having private parking, a spacious 2,500-square-foot home, and a half-acre property with a large backyard and deck.

What makes this property unique

What makes the Boothbay house special is its combination of space, comfort, character, and quiet. At nearly 2,500 square feet, the home offers plenty of room for families and groups to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together.

The furnishings are a thoughtful mix of antiques and modern pieces, chosen to create a warm, inviting, and comfortable New England home. We take great pride in decorating and furnishing the house so guests can enjoy both classic character and everyday comfort.

The property also offers a large backyard and a spacious deck with Adirondack chairs and a BBQ grill — perfect for morning coffee, outdoor meals, or relaxing after a day exploring Boothbay Harbor.

The house is also family-friendly, with a travel crib, toys, and games available for children.
