This is property was perfect for hosting our family. The location is just minutes from downtown. The layout of the house is functional and it was very well equipped - even had place setting for kids. Has AC which was huge in the middle of summer! We enjoyed board games at the dining table and grilling food. Fenced in back yard was a bonus for littles. The host is very easy to get in touch with and responsive - very well managed.
What a quaint cottage with so much character and charm, all within easy walking distance of the footbridge and all the Boothbay Harbor has to offer! We will definitely be back!
