About this property
Perfect Maine Cottage Directly on the Coast
We are located directly on the coast.. versus on the "bay" or "harbor", and the views from this custom designed cottage are some of the nicest you will find. We are situated just high enough to provide protection from the ocean, but close enough to hear the waves and surf at all times of the day. Being so close to the water, the feeling in the cottage is a lot like being on a large boat. THERE IS NO ROAD and NO POWER LINES between OUR COTTAGE AND THE OPEN OCEAN. You have an unrestricted and very private view of the open Atlantic and surrounding islands and harbors from our deck. This is hard to find, even in Maine. Nobody walking or driving on a road between you and the sea? Priceless! We also allow most breeds of dogs for a modest fee, but PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE BOOKING that your dogs age and breed are allowed. That the minimum age of any child is 10. Maximum guest size is 4 (four). The cottage features two queen sized beds, one on each floor, with access to a bathroom on each floor as well. Boothbay Harbor, with all it's charm, galleries, shopping and restuarants, is less than 10 minutes away. Our cottage is situated on a little known oceanfront drive. our quiet road is one of the best kept secrets around and offers views and ocean walks as nice as you will find, but with far fewer people than some areas. Imagine yourself on our deck with a sliver of moonlight coming across the Atlantic and right to you!

It's a beautiful, restful spot to stay for a vacation. Loved waking up seeing the ocean and sun, four of the seven days we were there!It's so nice to come back to a beautiful vacation home with awsome views after a full day.
Scott the host was amazing with communication. The place was as described and more! We loved it! Will keep an eye out on the calendar for dates kn future as we will be back! Loved that it was dog friendly!
Views were wonderful, property was private and comfortable. Close to grocery stores and other amenities such as restaurants, ice cream, and downtown Boothbay.
I had the most amazing, relaxing stay with my pup. The ocean view is incredible and unbeatable. Being near the water is good for the soul - exactly what I needed. Being November, it was cold, but comfortable. The street was quiet and we loved walking alongside the water. My dog also got a kick out of watching the boats. I would absolutely love to make this an annual trip! Can’t say enough positive things - what a gem!!
Gorgeous ocean views from a deck cantilevered over a rocky coastline below. Comfy furniture and bed plus everything you’d want if you’re inclined to cook. E. Boothbay is the quieter area compared to Boothbay Harbor….the very definition of a relaxing retreat, which is what I needed.
This was such a magical week. The house and view are amazing. Close to everything we needed and easy to get to the area adventures, but also private enough to make it a perfect break from the rest of the world. We are already looking forward to getting back next year. Highly recommend this stay.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed. Gorgeous views from every window and sitting on the deck became our favorite pastime. We hope to return next year!
The cottage was clean and well appointed and the views were gorgeous. Watching the boats and beautiful sunrises was very relaxing. We enjoyed our stay.
We truly loved our stay in the waterfront bungalow. Views were incomparable. Sounds of the water was intoxicating. Our host was super nice. This place and host deserve a 10 out of 10. Five stars is no enough.
The interior of the cottage, its view, and its location are great. I would bring water to drink and some extra towels.

Hi William so glad you enjoyed your stay. As detailed in the information we sent you before arrival we are on a private well not city water. In Maine that can mean (very rarely and as far as I know not this year at all) a very slight sulfur odor. The water is perfectly fine and there's plenty of it, however it is just a suggestion to purchase your own drinking water if you like. As far as towels we instruct our housekeepers to put out just a few to start with. The closets downstairs are full of them if you need more. Thank you for choosing our property you are always welcome back.
This house has a stunningly beautiful view and It is situated on a very quiet scenic road. It is artistically decorated and has all the amenities that you need. The house is lovely, very clean, and comfortable. We look forward to returning!!!
Super comfortable, filled with light, beautifully decorated with lots of care, all amenities, view to die for - sunrise, moonrise, water forever. You'll never want to leave.
Awesome cottage with breathtaking views! There is no other cottage in Boothbay with such an awesome view. We saw a seal and dolphins right from our deck! We will definitely be back!
We had the most incredible stay here, and didn’t want to leave!! You are literally perched above the ocean with the lull of the waves relaxing you and a the most incredible view. It was so fun to drink coffee each morning while watching the lobster boats. The home is comfortable and well appointed with everything you need for a wonderful stay. We will definitely return to stay here again.

Simply AMAZING!!
What a fantastic vacation retreat! The cottage is adorable, perfectly decorated, and very cozy.
I came with a goal of reading a book, but couldn't take my eyes off of the water...the views are absolutely amazing....truly like a postcard! Scott was a pleasure to work with, and we can't wait to return!
It's all about the view, of course, which is spectacular! But the cottage is very charming, comfortable and well equipped. This is our second visit to this particular property, and we definitely plan to return. Absolutely delightful.

About the host

Why they chose this property
The town of Boothbay Harbor is just five minutes away with many fine restaurants and great shopping. Whale watches, harbor cruises and a great botanical garden are availble all summer long. Ocean point with it's wonderful views is just up the road. The best part of our location is that it is a bit of a local secret. We have dramatic views, lots of great walks, great places to kayak, and all off the beaten tourist path, yet with everything you need to make a complete Maine vacation close at hand.
What makes this property unique
One of the best parts of staying at our cottage are the great opportunities for wildlife viewing. Although we can't promise what you will see from our deck, we have observed all of the following in the last year alone; Minke whales, Finn whales, seals, eagles, ospreys, porpise, and every type of sea bird and duck imaginable! Perhaps the very best part of staying at our cottage is what it doesn't have, and that is a road between you and the sea, and lots of people. No roads or powerlines come between you and the ocean, and that means no cars, no people walking past, and no noise. Just you and the wide open Atlantic! ( In 2019 a guest saw a Mola (giant sunfish, 1200 lbs!) anything is possible!
