About this property

Oceanfront Cottage For 2! Quiet, kayaking, and enjoy the natural beauty!

Located on the shores of Linekin Bay is the cottage you have been searching for. It's a romantic cottage built for one or two with breathtaking views of the natural beauty that surrounds it. The views from your cottage include Barrett's Park, Lobster Cove, Linekin Bay and world famous Cabbage Island. Watch the bright red sunrises and see how the sky changes to shades of light pinks and blues as the dawn comes forth. It's a spectacular sight that will remain with you forever. Step out onto your porch and experience the smell of the fresh morning salt air. Relax with your morning coffee made with a Keurig coffee pot so bring your K-cups! The cottage has a microwave, full sized refrigerator, cable T.V., and Wi-Fi. The bathroom has hot and cold water with a shower.

There is a dock for your kayak or use of our kayaks, included in your rental. For larger boats we have a mooring with 7' of water at low tide that can be used, when available. Be sure to visit us during Windjammer Days, an annual event that lasts for a week!

You can walk down the street and have your shore dinner prepared by one of the local restaurants. The town center is a 5 minute walk where there is unlimited shopping and local seafood restaurants, boats are moored and at dockside in the harbor.
From the harbor you can catch a whale watching boat, deep sea fishing boat, take a sail on the Eastwind, or just a nice cruise around the harbor and surrounding islands and watch the seals, puffins and whales in their natural habitat.

This is a Maine vacation at its best and one that will call you back to the unique and beautiful shores of Boothbay Harbor.

Transportation is available from the Portland International Jetport or the Concord Coach bus stop in Wiscasset.
We are located just off the Maine Island Trail between the Sheepscot and Damariscotta Rivers. Paddle right up to our dock for a few nights rest and the exploration of Boothbay Harbor on foot and approximately 5 miles north of Damariscove Island.

No extra overnight guests allowed. This is a non-smoking and non vaping (inside and outside) and no pet property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Nice little cottage looking out over Linekin Bay. We really enjoyed being a little off the beaten path but a short drive or walk into Boothbay Harbor.

A very special spot for a little getaway! Cottage is set up with everything you need and located away from the busy downtown tourist area of Boothbay Harbor. We took advantage of the kayaks and found our morning coffee on the little porch just delightful. Communication and instructions were clear- this property is highly recommended!

This cottage was perfect for us. We are low maintenance when vacationing. Shorts, tee-shirts and out the door. Our stay was very peaceful with a great view and a 10 min. walk took us to Boothbay’s restaurants and shops. The owner and everyone associated with him were kind and helpful.

Lovely Cottage

Small, but cozy, this waterfront cottage had everything we needed. Great location - just a short walk into the town. The only improvements would be for Internet service, which often had no connection for long periods of time, and the steep gravel walkway which made hauling luggage difficult. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful experience and beautiful cove

We spent our honeymoon at Nan and Mac's place. The location could not be more beautiful - a perfect vantage point to observe the sunrise, tides and wildlife in a quiet cove. The cottage is a studio with a small porch overlooking the water - perfect for us. We did a good amount of cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved being walking distance to Boothbay while in a private setting. Would highly recommend!

Not for people with environmental allergies.

We were not able to stay in this cabin due to our allergic sensitivities. Cabin looked as in photos, but it was too musty for us personally. Location was nice. The host worked with us, and the majority of our cost was refunded. While this place would be a nice stay for most, those with environmental sensitivities may want to consider alternative accommodations.

Tiny House Getaway

This cottage is the best of both worlds. Right on the water with complimentary canoe and kayaks along with walkability to beautify Boothbay Harbor. We took a fishing excursion and grilled striper one evening. And enjoyed walking to the nearby lobster co-op for soft shell lobsters and great live music. Cottage is nicely appointed, very clean and also quite small -- thus the "tiny house" reference. The owners are a charming couple who are very friendly and helpful.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 23, 2020
Perhaps a better caption would be "Cozy Cottage Getaway" since it is a "cottage" located directly on the shore. The cottage has everything that a guest would need for a few days, a week or a month's stay and is fully self contained. It is located on a half acre with many places to roam and much outside seating on the porch, on the dock and in front of the cottage and well as a deck that all guests are welcome to use.

Kayak on a beautiful, quiet cove

Nancy and Mac were great hosts, very kind and helpful with information and stories. The studio cottage is comfortable, quiet and private. It was fun watching the lobstermen and tides going in and out. It is a short walk into town with many restaurant choices. We loved kayaking around Linekin Bay. Some area must-sees: Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Ocean Point, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Farnsworth Museum, Mt. Battie, Cap'n Fish boat tour of Boothbay Harbor and nearby islands (we saw seals, porpoises, osprey, bald eagles and lots of other birds).

Wonderful week in BoothBay

My husband and I spent a wonderful week Lobster Cove Cottage. It was small but very well laid out and had fabulous views of the the water/cove. We unpacked our suitcases and put those back in the car and that gave us plenty of room in the cottage. We loved waking up and sitting on the deck with out coffee. We ate most of our meals on the deck too. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked several dinners as well as all of our breakfasts there. The cottage is in easy walking distance to Booth Bay Harbor and we enjoyed going into town in the evening. The owners were incredibly nice and very responsive when the WiFi went out briefly and needed to be rebooted. Overall we loved this cottage and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful spot...fabulous location.

We stayed at this cottage for 5 nights. Nan and Mac were gracious hosts. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for a fun few days away. Linens are not included...There is a fee...or bring your own. We had never incountered that before. The cottage was very comfortable and so quiet. It is a short walk into town so we never drove...so easy we did it several times a day. The deck looks out on the water and is serene and beautiful. The cottage is small but worked for us as we only ate breakfast and a lunch or two. The bed was comfortable. Would definitelly recommend.

Beautiful but NO Dock

The Cottage is VERY small. And the ad was fraudulent about a dock. "There is a dock for your kayak or use of our kayaks, included in your rental." There was NO Dock. Kayaks yes but you had to roll them up a hill and over 800 yards to the park. Not recommended for elderly. Requested clean towels for week two and were told where there was a laundromat. No oven. We bought them a card table so that we would have a table to use.

Hello Greg! As I had messaged to notify you as soon as I could, we had a storm that wrecked our dock, which is completely out of our control. And it is difficult within this small town to get it redone in a quick turn around. Otherwise I do apologize about the linens and will carry that advice into the future!

Adorable Cottage with Spectacular Views & Wonderful Hosts!

We wanted a nice getaway from our busy schedules to spend quality time together and relax. We came across this gem of a place which was small, cute and cozy but had everything we needed. The views from the cottage were amazing. We never even turned on the tv, we just sat on the porch, talked and admired the ever changing views of the Linekin Bay, from sunrises to sunsets. We managed to try out the kayaks, walked down the street to Boothbay Lobster Warf for some music and Lobsters, of course. Took a walk into town by crossing the footbridge which was only a few minutes away and it led to a quaint little town with numerous shops and restaurants. Walked around the bend to the park across the way and went in the water. Went for a short ride and Walked the rocks at the Ocean Point Walk for additional views of the bay. Also, When reading the reviews about Mac & Nan, they are not lying. Mac & Nan are the sweetest and nicest Hosts. We just loved listening and talking with them. They were also very helpful with their knowledge of the area. We hated to leave and were very sad to go, BUT, WE WILL BE BACK!!

Amazingly Sweet Stay with Nan & Mac on Linekin Bay!

Wow! My husband and I stayed for five nights at Nan & Mac's adorable little cottage right on the water in Linekin Bay. They were the sweetest hosts! We really enjoyed meeting them and talking about their experiences on the Bay. They invited us to a Lobster Bake one night and Mac fried us up some freshly caught Mackerel to taste. Truly wonderful people with big hearts. The cottage is perfect with an incredible view of the water and a little kitchen area to make your own meals. We rented a boat during our stay which we were able to keep on their dock. Couldn't be more perfect. The location is prime. A short 10 min walk to town over the hill behind the spectacular Boothbay Our Lady Queen of Peace Church. You get all the benefits of being able to walk to town but are on a pristine quiet inlet of Linekin Bay without all the hustle and bustle of busy Boothbay Harbor. Although the spot itself is remarkable, our favorite part of our time there was meeting Nan & Mac. We really hated to say goodbye at the end of our stay. We plan to come back again next year. Thank you Nan & Mac for sharing your beautiful spot with us and all of those who you host at your incredible place! You are the best! See you again next year!!! Jenn & Chris from Alameda, CA

Mac states that he hopes to cook you striper next season, but first he has to catch them. Thank you for the miniature tripod gift .

This is a cozy little cottage for two with amazing views of the water. It sits across from a nice public park and the ebb and flow of the tide changes the scenery constantly. It is close to everything you need in Boothbay. Also, the bird watching is great: herons, gulls and ducks put on a great show! This property is great for those who are active and need a quiet little enclave for resting and sleeping. It is very tiny, but cute.

The Maine Getaway

The cottage was small but beautifully decorated with the Maine coastline in mind. It was located near Boothbay Harbor and close enough that you could walk across the walkway to the town. Two problems; the TV cable box was placed so that it was hard to change channels. Also, the stairs down the hill to the cottage were challenging to manage.

Fantastic location facing the water and a park on the other side of the cove. Very quiet and peaceful. Cottage is a wonderfully decorated, cleverly designed studio, tiny but functional, above the water and way below the main house .

About the host

Hosted by Vanese Barnes

Host profile image
I am a young renter, my grandparents (the property owners) live on sight so you may see them time to time! I've grown up in central Maine with frequent visits to this property as a kid, it holds a special place close to my heart and I hope to share that experience with you as well!

Why they chose this property

When my grandparents first began this journey they came to love this neighborhood specifically because of the peace and quiet. The birds sing at daylight, ever changing tides come through our cove, lobstermen can be seen hard at work just across the cove, and beautiful sunrises are often seen! A beautiful place to be.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is located on the edge of town in a quiet, peaceful area. Being located in the cove allows for even more peace and quiet, while also being close to town and the hustle and bustle. Access to being on the water and downtown!
