My wife and I had a great week staying in Maurice and Valerie's condo. Very clean, and check-in was a breeze. Kilene was their local contact, and very easy to contact and supremely helpful. The view of the marina was great, and it was fun watching the boat and yacht activity and the bird life, such as the osprey fishing from the top of a boat mast. Excellent smart TVs with Spectrum cable service in the LR and master bedroom, including some premium movie channels. Great water pressure! Fully functional kitchen. Comfortable furnishings, though we would have preferred a king-size bed in the big master bedroom (as we have at home) and a mattress upgrade, as the older innerspring mattress was a bit stiff for us and generated some sound and motion, so we tended to wake each other several times at night. There's also no AC, and it was quite hot and humid when we arrived, but the ceiling fans and open windows cooled it off quickly overnight. This is a very safe place to stay. The one problem we had was when I locked the door to walk into town and succeeded in losing the key I took with me. The stowed emergency key that was clearly explained in the instructions saved the day, and I learned my lesson (no need to lock the door!) Even though I'm a Maine native, I had never been to Boothbay Harbor before. It was wonderful to finally experience the beautiful and immaculately maintained Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, just a 10-minute drive away. And we did the short walk to Commercial Street and Townsend Ave. several times for dining and shopping. Highly recommend the Thistle Inn for dinner, outstanding menu and service; and had a nice lunch under the awning with a view of the harbor at Brady's, including the best French fries I think I've ever eaten. This rental is the perfect alternative to an inn or hotel for independent travelers. Hope to visit again soon!
