About this property

Century-old oceanfront home with wraparound porch - walk downtown, dogs OK

Fulfill your fantasies of a summer in Midcoast Maine at this four-bedroom Boothbay Harbor retreat, a century-old home with a wrap-around porch, a dog-friendly living space, and a glorious oceanfront location within walking distance of downtown.

Built at the turn of the century, this classic four-square home sits one mile east of downtown Boothbay Harbor - the perfect place to book a kayaking excursion, a fishing charter, or an unforgettable whale-watching adventure. -Murphy bed is not for guest use. From this beautiful spot, you can explore the ocean coast at Barrett Park half a mile southwest, or dine on fresh lobster at Boothbay Lobster Wharf half a mile further.

The living space is full of warmth and charm, offering a country kitchen (with a dishwasher), free WiFi, and a cable TV for your indoor entertainment. Bring your morning coffee outside to the wrap-around porch, read the newspaper at the picnic table with a view of the ocean cove, and set up badminton games with your loved ones in the grassy yard below. Come dinnertime, you can host family clambakes on the charcoal grill outside and take your dog for long, leisurely walks around the neighborhood at sunset (please note that dogs must be leashed outdoors and that a nightly pet fee applies).

We celebrated my father's 80th birthday at the cottage and really enjoyed the weekend. The deck overlooking the cove and the cove acces was great. The dogs loved retrieving dummies in the water. The cottage is a classic, old school Maine cottage which was fun and reminded me of Maine when I was a kid.

We loved the house--it was homey and clean, and it felt like someone's actual home. So many short term rentals these days are investment properties and feel like they've been outfitted by AI--something that had a vague idea of what a human on vacation might want, but no actual human experience. The kitchen and bathrooms had all the things we needed, the livingroom was cozy and all the furniture was comfortable. Sitting on the warm rocks down by the beach was lovely, and there are SO many great places to walk nearby. We highly recommend the Appalachee Preserves, which are just a short walk away. We ate out at Ports of Italy and the Thistle Inn and both were delicious. We had a great visit and would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here with our 4 kids and loved it. Tons of space, nice yard with tidal water behind it. The house had everything you could ever need, one of the best equipped houses we’ve rented. Would definitely stay here again.

a true maine experience!

We were a family of 8, ranging from 2 y/o to 70 - and this house was absolutely perfect! Enough seating, rooms, and bedding for everyone to be together as well as take some space to themselves. Boothbay Harbor is a wonderful place to visit and we didn't go too far out of town since there was already so much to do there for us. we would definitely stay again!

Boothbay by the Bay

The house was exactly as pictured and described in the listing. The bedrooms were smaller, which is typical in old New England construction, but was made up for with the various common spaces, and outdoor spaces for utilization. The covered porch was amazing since we ended up with rain for most of our trip. All of the appliances were in working order. The house and each bedroom were clean, and tidy. The decor was all themed to the nautical New England vibe we wanted for the weekend.

The location was perfect. Very close to town and the Botanical Gardens. The Driveway is a bit dicey to say the least.

Lovely long weekend in Autumn

The title and description are spot on, this is a vintage home with every amenity we needed for a long weekend exploring Damariscotta and Boothbay Harbor. We only needed 3 bedrooms, so did not use the bunk beds tucked into the first floor alcove, and planned to spend most of our time out & about. It was a perfect location for us.
