Great location

We loved being able to walk to the downtown area. We also loved that we were close enough to walk over the footbridge. Mama D’S which is part of the property is a great place for breakfast.

Boothbay Harbor

This place needs a lot of help. It wasn't cleaned properly. The living room rug was dirty and not vacuumed. Things were breaking and generally just very old. I like quaint and classic, but this was just not that. Most of all the basement door was unlocked and someone could easily get in. I had to prop up a broken chair underneath the door knob to feel safe. It appears the lock was broken from the outside. The refrigerator was very noisy. The place has potential but you need to pay attention to details. The location is great.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very cozy and cute small apartment with antique touches. Location is central and easy walking to restaurants and activities. Bedroom is upstairs via steep and shallow stairs. Not a problem for us but a consideration for anyone with mobility issues. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Love this place!

What a wonderful place to stay in Boothbay Harbor! The location is perfect. Everything is within walking distance, yet it is very quiet and comfotable. Plenty of room for my wife and me and the antique nautical treasures throughout the apartment helped set the tone and mood for our stay. Will definitely return.
