A great location on the water. Walking distance to two different dog friendly restaurants so you can get your lobster how ever you want. The railing on the porch made a perfect spot for our dog to lay in the sun and watch the world go by.

View of harbor was amazing! Nothing like hearing the rumble of the lobster boats at 4 am as they start their day. Oh so fun to watch. Don't miss the sun rising over the harbor. God's paintbrush on the sky.Lunch on the Wharf and Bell Bouy for seafood. Great vacation

The Boathouse, which has the most spectacular view of the harbor, was undoubtedly a perfect place to spend a week. The sound of lobster boats heading out at dawn was magical! The Boathouse is quirky, but very comfortable, with everything you need to stay a week. Loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the quiet of the neighborhood. Lunch on the Wharf offered some good lunches with a great view. We also enjoyed heading out of Corea for dinner at the Pickled Wrinkle and Bunker’s Seafood. All in all we had a most enjoyable week at the Boathouse…thank you Kathy for sharing this bit of paradise!

The view is great.Corea Harbor is a classic down east lobstering village. The folks are friendly and there are many new dog friends for your pup to meet.The two story layout of the boathouse is a bit challenging for older folks with mobility issues. Sorry to say we have become those “older folks” and will need to find another rental for our annual visit to the Schoodic peninsula.

Thanks for your review and thanks very much for renting for all these years! Part of the charm of the Boathouse is the unique nature of the building but I do understand evolving needs. I'm know you'll find a great spot for your future Corea vacations. All the best!

We've enjoyed stays at the Boathouse for years; it's such a special place - the views can't be beat! We could sit on the back deck our entire stay and be mesmerized by the amazing light, the lobstermen/women heading out and returning, the movement of the boats when they're docked and the wildlife. So incredibly relaxing!

If you like being perched above the water in a picturesque harbor with stellar views on 3 sides, this is for you. Clean, sunny, pretty well appointed and fun to be in. Two restaurants right down the street. Fun to watch the tides and lobstermen coming and going. Host very responsive!

There are reasons we're repeat visitors, spanning close to 15 years. A few: the location is off the beaten path, the Boathouse is utterly charming, the rhythms of a working fishing harbor...almost hypnotic, Kathy is ever helpful and welcoming, the salty air and finally...there's nothing like the tide going in and out to remind one of a constancy that exists beyond the chaos.

Boathouse fun

This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed in the boathouse. And it was just as great as the first time! Accommodations were very good and the scenery out the windows was interesting & varied …..with the lobstermen coming and going each day. Also, the Wharf next door was an excellent eating place on the pier!

Gorgeous location and views

We love Corea and the Boathouse is perched on a wharf right on the harbor. Lobster boats right out front, Lunch on the Wharf right nearby and tons of nature things to do all within easy reach. The house is nicely appointed and convenient to Schoodic Point national park, hiking trails, bird watching and much more. It is a two story house and there are stairs.

Lovely village, great walks. Rental a bit rustic but charming. Great views. There should be a welcoming packet with directions for trash removal, where to leave thermostat settings and who to contact if you get accidentally locked out.

Great place especially if spending days hiking

It was a good place for us since we were spending our days out in nature. Though it was an hour drive to acadia National park we could easily do it. No frills but we wanted to on the water, that was why we wanted it. The property manager was very nice and helpful.

Beautiful harbor view

We loved the boat house. It has everything you need and the location gave us an up close look at a real working lobster fishing village. We met locals who were very anxious to talk about their village and offer suggestions for activities. We enjoyed just sitting on the deck watching the boats in the harbor and walking to the beach by the bay. Katherine, our host was so nice and available to answer any questions. We would definitely visit again.

Longing to go Back...

What a fantastic rental! We thoroughly enjoyed corresponding with Kathy—a considerate, kind, helpful host—even before we arrived at the Boathouse. Once we arrived, we never wanted to leave. The views of the harbor are mesmerizing, and the house is very well outfitted. One of the unexpected pleasures of renting the Boathouse was being in the village of Corea. It was a pleasure chatting with neighbors as we walked our Corgi every morning—we felt like we were part of a community—and we also enjoyed the lobster rolls at Lunch on the Wharf and the Bell Buoy, both walkable. We definitely hope to rent again!

We had a wonderful stay and are so grateful to Kathy for sharing her home with us! The view in this house is unbeatable—right on the harbor in Corea. We significantly preferred the Schoodic Peninsula to being more in Bar Harbor. It is way quieter, but absolutely stunning. The house is close to delicious and more affordable seafood right off the boat, it’s a 5 minute walk from a sweet catch your dinner lobster boat tour, and good driving distance from both Bar Harbor and cool places like Lubec and Eastport further north. Communication with Kathy was easy and kind, checking in was easy, and the house had everything we needed. Thank you again!

Home was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed including linens, bath and kitchen. There was no cable or satellite tv but we brought a streaming stick as instructed and enjoyed movies at night. Wifi was great.We were able to bring our dog which was important and we enjoyed a lot of local hikes and beaches. The entire town was friendly and welcoming and gave us great suggestions where to go and how to get there.Staying right on the wharf and harbor was a really neat experience. We watched the boats come and go out of the harbor, which was peaceful and beautiful and not noisy for being on a working wharf.We walked to and ate at Lunch on the Wharf which was right next to the boathouse. Menu was varied, from burgers to fresh seafood, and was very reasonably priced.Our host was so friendly and helpful with great communications. All in all we loved our stay and will definitely be back!
