East Boothbay Waterfront-Spectacular Views!

Having lived and vacationed in Maine my entire life I am well aware of the need to pick a vacation rental that can provide a great time even if the weather is less than cooperative. This is particularly important when there is a larger group of people and especially so when children are involved. In our case, although we were extremely fortunate to have a majority of sunny, beautiful days on our recent week at Sea Girt, I have to say, had that not been the case, we still would have enjoyed ourselves immensely. The pictures shown on the website accurately depict the rental which sits directly on the shoreline at the water's edge. The furnishings are an eclectic mix of old New England and rustic by some standards but plenty comfy and cozy for our needs. The beautiful long porch on the front offers stunning views of the bay and it is easy to sit there for hours relaxing, reading and watching the lobstermen pull their traps. I think what we, as a group of 6 adults with 2 children enjoyed the most was that there were so many areas inside and outside of the house to either join with others or be alone with everyone able to enjoy a wonderful water view. Sitting on the outside deck watching the ocean it was easy to be mesmerized by the water and the wonderful assortment of birds and wildlife around. Also of note is the privacy and quiet of the rental and we frequently remarked how wonderful it was to feel that the space was our own. The youngsters in our group had a wonderful time down on the dock fishing and successfully landed a squid and several small fish which only fed their obsession to fish more. The nearby East Boothbay General Store kept us supplied with the most wonderful breakfast and lunch items and it was not much further to go into town to a larger store for additional supplies. The whole area of East Boothbay down to Ocean Point was so absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed eating out at several of the restaurants as well as seeing the stunning sights. Of course a trip into Boothbay Harbor is just minutes away and it is amazing to be in that hustle and bustle and then in such a short time return to the quiet, solitude and beauty of Sea Girt. Trips to the botanical gardens and the nearby walking trails were also fun with again, so many sights to see. Sea Girt gets my two thumbs up, five stars or however you want to call terrific! We can't wait to go back again!

Amazing.. two bald eagles sat in the tree tops only 30 yards away !! Situated directly on Linekin Bay off the road and nestled among the trees. Very quiet and very relaxing. We sat on the porch for hours gazing out over the bay. The view extending to the open ocean beyond. There are amazing walks in all directions and booth bay harbor is only 10 minutes away with quaint shopping and great restaurants. The house is cozy and with all the amenities. There were 5 of us enjoying this 4 bedroom home. Glassed in porch, outdoor porch, lots of indoor space & manicured gardens. Simply the best. Would highly recommend !!

We loved our stay at Sea Girt! When we walked in to the cottage, we immediately felt the warmth of the home and we relaxed. Our favorite spot was at the picnic table looking out over the water. We played many games at that table and watched the fireworks from Booth Bay on the 4th of July. we had front row seats! Once back home, we had to rent the movie "Carousel" and watch for the cottage in the movie!

We look forward to staying there again soon and for longer than one week!

I just want you to know that we all fell in love with "Sea Girt" the minute that we walked through the door. It is all that we had hoped for and more. Thank you for sharing it with us.
