It’s time for a East Boothbay getaway! This rental is secluded, surrounded by trees, and great for a lovely, romantic trip away from home. It's also perfect for nature lovers!

Just 60 miles from Portland and 50 miles from Lewiston, you’ll be able to get to your destination in no time! With plenty of restaurants, day trip options, and more nearby, you'll have a lot to do.

The interior of this home is large and roomy, and has gorgeous high ceilings with exposed beams, and lovely wood floors. Hang out upstairs and warm your hands by the fireplace, enjoying the scent of cookies baking in the oven in the adjacent kitchen.

There's a dining area near the kitchen for formal meals! If you want to head outside to eat, there’s a large deck that runs the length of the home on the second floor, connected to both the living room and the master bedroom. There's a gas grill on the deck for barbecues.

Step out the sliding glass doors and check out the crushed-rock patio. From the patio, you can make your way down the wood-lined pathway to the dock and beach area.

Boothbay Harbor is only four miles away and Ocean Point is three miles away. There are many great seafood restaurants nearby, so don’t miss out on a stellar culinary experience. Have you ever tried sailing or whale watching? Book an excursion in town for a day of adventure!

Great location - awful house!!!
This house has a great location and lovely views on the water, but should not be allowed to be on the rental market in its current condition. It is filthy and dirty full of mildew that will hit you as soon as you enter. We asked to be moved but the nearest option was 2 1/2 hours away which was not acceptable. The house needs a deep cleaning!!! The furniture and flooring were stained, there were dirty cups in the cabinets, cobwebs everywhere and you couldn’t escape the mildew. There were two dehumidifiers in the basement, one piped into a drain and one not. A Vacasa representative was there as we arrived and didn’t empty, so we did. Within 12 hours, the 5 gallon tank was full again. Until this home is brought up to speed, I would suggest not waist your money renting this house. The house could be very nice if cleaned and deferred maintenance was preformed.

Great views!
The property was perfect - and the views from the porch and dock were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. We went to Coastal Botanical Gardens to see the trolls, walked along the end of Ocean Point Road and admired the views, had a delicious lobster roll at the Lobsterman's Wharf and pizza from Boothbay Harbor House of Pizza. Not great response from the property manager (Vacasa) but other than that, we would recommend this spot.

Smells of trash
Cleaners didn't remove trash from previous renters and trash storage area is built into the house by the kitchen. We had to deal with a horrible trash smell for most of the week. Also, we booked on VRBO but all correspondence came from Vacasa. I don't remember every paying such huge fees and would think they could at least clean, t as ke out the trash and make sure the toilet bowl kids were attached. Yes, when we showed up one of the kids want attached.

Nice House
The house was well located to do all things in the Boothbay area. The lower bedrooms had a musty smell but clean and there was a dehumidifier. The bathrooms had some mold in the showers. There was plenty of towels and wash cloths. We tend to be very busy all day and eat out a couple of times while we travel but we also like to cook in a few nights. The kitchen had everything you need in terms of tools and dishes. My only comment is there was a coffee machine but no coffee pot. We are not a fan of the single serve coffee so this was an issue for us. The very best thing about the house was the view. You cannot be unhappy when you wake up to the beautiful water.

Mostly great
Well provisioned, ample space, quiet, great view of the bay. Lower level is damp this time of year despite running the dehumidifiers. Really nice place that could have used a little more attention this time ahead of our arrival.

Our family had an awesome time. The house was in a great location. Lots to do. We loved the open floor plan layout, deck and the dock. My negatives are - when we first entered, it smelt musty - it helped by opening windows. The basement (where 2 bedrooms are) dehumidifier ran constantly. The house was overall clean but dated. A few areas could use deep cleaning. All in all it was worth it and we would stay there again.

Classic summer family house
Enjoyed our stay! Staying here felt like being at a relative’s summer house, stocked with every amenity you could possibly need - a kitchen with multiple sets of dishes, pots, pans, a closet full of spices, books, puzzles and games, extra pillows and bedding, plenty of seating area, pull-out couches, etc. The most attractive part of the house is the flow of the upstairs living room and kitchen, with floor to ceiling glass doors to look out over backyard and Linekin Bay. Try not to arrive here for the first time at night, since a quirky feature is that there are lots of steps in places that you don’t expect. When you open the front door you’re presented with 2 steps leading to the kitchen, 2 to the living room and the staircase leading to the lower level. There’s also a step up to the bathroom, which you will inevitably trip over at some point.

The property has everything you could possibly need and is in a wonderful location. Although the home is a little older, we were very comfortable. It was a wonderful retreat for our family of three!

Secluded retreat
The house was lovely. The view was nice. It was great to see the ocean from the dock down the hill at the house. In July or August I could have gone for a quick swim off the dock. My only negative is the bedrooms in the basement are musty.

Beautiful, peaceful.Near so many attractions yet cozy and private.Well equipped kitchen.en
This lovely home has plenty of room with Windows on both levels to view the water. We had a lot of private space as well as two living areas on both floors and a deck with dining table as well as lounging chairs. We spent a lot of time on the dock sunning ourselves. It was an absolutely perfect fall week in Maine. We took advantage of so many nearby preserves to hike.The aquarium and botanical gardens in Boothbay were so pleasant. The volunteers at the aquarium were a blast. Did I mention lobster? Had a problem figuring out how the master bath shower worked but a call to the caretaker brought him here in a few minutes! Only wish a kayak was here for use. We found none for rent. That was the biggest reason I chose this location.

Not at all what we expected
The pictures were very deceiving. This house is not suitable for young children or guest with hip, knee or ankle problems much less if you were committed to a wheelchair. There are multiple levels to the house with the main floor bathroom even having a step down. There are only baseboard heaters. No extra blankets. If you use the fireplace, smoke will fill the lower level. The dehumidifier ran constantly. The only TV is on the lower level and is only 32" The appliances are old and it is very hard to read the setting. The magazines on the coffe table were dated from 2007. There is not a dedicated path down to the dock. To top it off "they" want you to start a load of towels in the washer before you depart. I have stayed at many properties listed with VRBO and I would NOT recommend this property.
