Photos and Description of the Boothbay Harbor vacation house rental
3-4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, sleeps 6-8 (summer rates based on 6)

Experience all that Summer in Maine offers! New Boothbay Peninsula custom cape with Sheepscot River frontage, fifteen minutes from Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset (prettiest village in Maine) and Damariscotta. House offers a wood burning fireplace, hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters and ceramic tiled baths. Area offers fine restaurants and beaches, great kayaking, and numerous whale watching, deep sea fishing and sight seeing excursion boats. Visit the renowned Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or go antique hunting. Watch lobster boats haul traps in front of the property, or launch your kayak from the Association dock a short walk from the house and explore the Sheepscot.

Modern Luxury: This custom cape was built in the fall of 2006. As you enter the large foyer, to the left through French doors is the kitchen, dining and living area that opens to the spacious 14' x 22' deck. Right of the foyer is a large laundry room, and then a self contained bedroom / bath suite. Upstairs is the master bedroom/bath suite, a small bedroom and a third large bedroom/bath suite. Floor plans available.

Solitude Yet Close To Town: The house is accessed via either Mill Rd ( from Route 27) or Cross Point Rd (from Route 1), which are idyllic country roads with water vistas. The house sits on a 2 acre lot. No highway noise can be heard, and at night no lights are visible from the opposite shore. Peace and quiet are the norm at the house, yet it is only 15 minutes to Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta or Wiscasset.

Designed To Please: The house design allows each of the 3 large bedrooms to be isolated from the rest of the house, with each having a private bathroom. Accordingly, the house is ideal for an extended family or 3 independent couples vacationing together. Multiple users can access the wireless Internet service simultaneously via laptops. Additional photos available on request.

About Joseph Walsh

Joe first came to the Boothbay during his high school and college years, spending the summers of 1967-72 working at Burleigh Hill, a boys' sailing camp owned and operated by Joe's junior high school gym teacher and coach, Lester Rhoads. Burleigh Hill operated as a camp from 1955 to 1975, and was also a registered yacht club that each summer competed against other local yacht clubs. After the camp ceased operations, Joe continued to vacation at the former camp property with his family (wife Marian and sons Colin and Pete) as a guest of the owner until the owner's death in 2000. In 2004, Joe and Marian purchased the Quarry Farm property that is about 4 miles away from Burleigh Hill and built the house in 2006. Joe and Marian live in upstate New York, where they practice law together with one other partner.

Joseph Walsh purchased this house in 2006
Why Joseph Walsh chose Boothbay Harbor

Joe has been associated with Boothbay since 1967 and has spent at least a part of each summer since then in the region. Joe introduced Marian to the region in 1985. When the former Burleigh Hill property was sold by the heir of Lester Rhoads in 2001, Joe and Marian continued to vacation in the region for several years, and then decided to buy their own property. Joe and Marian and the boys first viewed the Quarry Farm property on a bitterly cold January day, but everyone immediately said 'this is it'. Over the fireplace mantel, the Burleigh Hill Yacht Club Burgee continues to fly!

What makes this house unique

Some of the major factors that attracted the family to this property are its proximity to the major population centers of Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset and Damariscotta, and yet the house enjoys an incredibly peaceful, quiet and idyllic setting overlooking the Sheepscot River with almost 180 degree views up and down the river from the property. At night, there are no lights to be seen across the river, as the opposite shore remains largely undeveloped. The night sky, with little ambient light, highlights the stars. The two roads that access the property from either Route 1 or Route 27 can also be truly described as scenic; the Mill Road winds and turns and offers views of river coves at two points, while the Cross Point Road runs along the Sheepscot River for most of its length. A stay at the property thus allows each day to begin and end in a very private and peaceful way, yet the day itself can be spent enjoying the many things to do and see in Mid Coast Maine.

Immmaculate Way Beyond Expectations

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jul 1, 2008
  • Stayed: May 2008
This house is immaculate way beyond expectations. Owners have obviously lavished it with care. The linens, towels, and bedding were of good quality. Dishes, glassware and flatware were of excellent quality. The appliances were top of the line. The only negatives I would mention are the lack of ceiling fans, and no reading lamps or nightstands by the beds. We purchased a fan, large mixing bowl, potato peeler, and small lamps at the nearest Wal Mart. For those with the room in their vehicle, a crock pot would be nice. If you went on a trip each day, your meal would be ready when you return in the evening. Restaurants in the area we particularly enjoyed were Sarah's, Reds Eats, and Treats (excellent chicken pies that are available for take out along with soups, sandwiches, etc.) all in Wiscasset. We did not enjoy Bintliffs. In Bath, we particularly liked J.R. Maxwells on the main shopping street downtown. The owners were concerned about making the house comfortable and we would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet and beautiful vacation spot. Members of our party enjoyed Kayaking, Whale Watches, Botanical Gardens, Outlet Shopping, the many Lobster Pounds in the area and visiting Acadia National Park. The locals were extremely friendly and helpful.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Owner will provide window fans for future guests, though generally evening temperatures quickly drop to comfortable levels, and house has over 50 large windows for ventilation. Night stands and additional lamps will be added in the near future (looking for suitable antique or custom made tables).

A Beautiful Comfortable Home in a Scenic Area

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 31, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
The home was spotless with excellent appliances and an extensive supply of dishes, china and utensils. There was an abundant supply of towels and bedding. Shortly after arriving, I was contacted by telephone by the local housekeeper and by email from the owner to ensure everything was in order.

The wide array of pictures supplied very accurately depict the home. The owner was extremely helpful and readily communicated with me on any questions I had. My security deposit was returned in less than one week. The state beach parks described in the owner's overview of the surrouning area afforded magnificent views of the ocean and had convenient facilities.

We found shop owners, people on the street and restaurant personnel very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed a relaxing and memorable vacation in this beautiful area.

Beautiful Home - very convenient location

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 1, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2012
Immaculate home with a great well stocked kitchen, makes you want to do a kitchen remodel when you get home. Good communciation with owner, who also provided many addtional pictures so you know exactly what you are getting. I thought it was clear, but my significant other misunderstood, the dock is shared and several houses down the road - but no issue. Excellent jump off point for many wonderful day trips...beaches, antiquing, museums, botanical garden, etc. Many seafood options in all directions, and with the aforementioned kitchen it makes a great combo.

Would definately recommend.
Owner's Response: Thanks for pointing out there may be some confusion about the "Common" Dock in our listing. We do send additional literature to prospective renters that explains we do not have a private dock yet on our lot, and our rental agreement points out that our guests have the right to use the dock that belongs to the homeowners' association subject to the HOA rules and regulations that are made part of the agreement. Our lot has 220 feet of deep water frontage, but we are still probably several years away from installing our own private dock. We will try to make this clearer in the future!

Beautiful Family Vacation

Our family had a lovely time in Maine. Loved the home away from home feel with all the amenities. We enjoyed the sights in Boothbay and neighboring harbors, but one of the favorite memories is enjoying morning coffee on the deck watching our daughters catching butterflies. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The home was spacious yet cozy, clean with great views of the surrounding nature. The owners take great care in preparing visitors of what to do and see in the area. Edgecomb is close to both Wiscasset and Boothbay, with easy day trips to other beautiful areas of Maine. You will love it here. We returned to the area after visiting ten years ago and our stay here made it even more memorable. We will definitely be back!

The house was exactly as described. Very well maintained and furnished. Community is very quiet and relaxing but close to downtown Boothbay and Wiscasset. This is a great house for family gatherings or with friends. There're plenty of activities for everyone. We made day trips to Acadia Nat'l park, Bar Harbor and the Maine coast and chartered a boat for the afternoon in Boothbay.
