Photos and Description of the Boothbay Harbor vacation cabin rental 4 bedrooms, 2 3/4 baths, sleeps 8, 4 decks, hot tub, beach, dock, bay views

Seanook is a long-time family cottage that is gradually becoming a year-round home. It's so close to the water that the tide comes in around and underneath. Being here is like staying on a boat, except it doesn't rock. Panoramic windows and four decks put you over the water. Lounge in the hot tub as you watch sunsets. On a rainy night the pitter-patter on the roof will lull you to sleep. Wake up to the call of seabirds and the sloshing of little waves. The ever-changing moods of the bay will entertain you on three sides year-round. See vibrant colors develop along the shore in October. In winter you can be toasty warm watching the cozy fire, and the ice floats on the bay all at once. Should you be lucky enough to get snowfall, the views are pristine! The transient weeks of May are fresh with pastels as tiny leaves emerge on hillsides above an azure sea. If you want to relax at any season, this is the spot!

Seanook is located in Mid-Coast Maine only three miles from Boothbay Harbor. Our unique spot at the head of Linekin Bay on our own little peninsula affords us water views on three sides including a tantalizing vista to the mouth of the bay and open ocean. You may decide to just sit and watch the play of light and wind on the water. Writers find Seanook a peaceful private retreat where they can work on their manuscripts. Children of all ages enjoy exploring the beaches to discover varied creatures that abound along the shore of the Gulf of Maine. Anglers can fish right off the dock. If you want to relax at any season, this is the spot! We welcome a couple as readily as a family or group of friends. Seanook is an ideal place for a small reunion or retreat. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do! Artist studios, gourmet seafood restaurants, antiquing, boating excursions, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and live theatre are some of the activities to be found in this area.

Further details for this vacation cabin rental in Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Relaxing Romantic Getaway: Seanook is a romantic getaway in any season! If you want to relax, this is the spot. You may decide to just sit and watch the play of light and wind on the water. See seagulls, osprey, and an occasional eagle soar. You'll observe a variety of ducks in winter, and perhaps a seal or a beaver in summer. Read a book or sunbathe on the upper deck. Go beach-combing to discover varied creatures that abound along the shore of the Gulf of Maine. Go kayaking if it's calm. Anglers of any age can fish right off the dock. Writers find Seanook a peaceful private retreat where they can work on their manuscripts. Day hikes in one of the many land preserves are a favorite outdoor activity. Or, you can take a picnic to Ocean Point, and watch the waves roll in from the open sea and the ships pass by. How about a romantic sail at sunset? Many boat excursions are offered in nearby Boothbay Harbor. You will also find lighthouse tours, museums, and art studios starting with Mary Ellen's nearby.

Other things to do in the area: Some of the best eateries are right here in Boothbay. Walk through the woods to the East Boothbay General Store. The harbor is just three miles away, and offers many shops, boat excursions, and gourmet restaurants. Live theatre has a dramatic presence in Boothbay Harbor with events nightly at the Opera House, including Family Night on Tuesdays. Afternoon tea is a yearly tradition with some of our long time renters. Visit the aquarium in summer, where children's programs and classes enhance the quality of the coastal experience. Take a short boatride to Burnt Island where costumed guides reinact life of a lighthouse keeper's family in the late '50's. Go antiquing, or gallery hopping starting with nearby Paradise Studio. L.L.Bean and other outlets are just an hour away in Freeport. Acadia National Park is a three to four hour drive down east, with miles of scenic coastline and quaint villages to explore in between.

Guestbook Comment

Rick and Karen Morris Salado, Texas
Review Submitted: June 5, 2007 Date of Stay: June 2007
My husband and I have vacationed in the Boothbay
Harbor area for the past 23 years and have stayed
in a variety of inns, houses, and apartments.
Almost every year we have driven to or through East
Boothbay either to eat at Lobsterman's Wharf or on
our way to Ocean Point. We had no idea that just
off of the main road, there was a little piece of
heaven on Linekin Bay.

Our friends found Seanook Cottage on the internet
and booked the four of us for the last week of May.
We had the most relaxing, peaceful, wonderful
vacation there. The views from inside the house
and from the numerous decks are spectacular.
From our bedroom, the last thing we saw before we
closed our eyes at night was the full moon shining
on the beautiful water. The first thing we saw when
we woke up in the morning was the picturesque
sailboats and lobster boats. Across the bay, you
can see the architecture of both new and restored
houses and the Five Gables Inn nestled among the
wooded landscape. Just a short, brisk walk away
from Seanook through beautiful woods and along
the water is the wonderfully restored East Boothbay
General Store. They have a remarkable menu of
delicious salads, sandwiches, and pizza. And don't
forget the tasty breakfast pizza and muffins!

Seanook is only about three scenic miles from
Boothbay Harbor, where you can find a wide array
of shopping, dining, and harbor activities. The
Boothbay region is central to so much else in Mid-
Coast Maine, and daytrips are essential! Our
husbands played golf at the beautiful Samoset
Resort ("The Pebble Beach of the Atlantic"), where
most of the front nine holes are laid out along the
ocean. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is a must and
one of our favorite spots. Freeport with all of its
great outlet stores is just a short drive away.

Seanook is undergoing a long restoration process,
but you will hardly know it because Ron and Mary
Ellen have made it so comfortable. I can't say
enough about their helpfulness and eagerness to
please their guests. Although you won't even
realize they are there unless you need them, it is
great to have your hosts so near by.

I must admit I hesitated to write these comments
out of selfishness. Seanook is like a rare gift that
you want to keep all to yourself! I can't wait until
our next visit. We feel that we have found our
home in the Boothbay region!

Happy Repeat Vacationers

Review Submitted: February 2, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
I've been coming to Seanook for ten years from Boston, Austin, and New Jersey with family and friends from LA, DC, North Carolina and NYC.
We come for the peace, the view, the birds, the boats, the smells, the shells, the seaglass and of course a daily dose of fresh lobster. Our rituals include walking the rocks at Ocean Point, cinnamon buns from the General Store, walking through the 'path' to the other shore with its lovely hidden lake, fresh lobster from the Co-op, and sitting on every deck and reading. Highlights over the years are shooting stars (so many stars), blue heron, the seal swimming under the deck, and moon rise.
Our hosts are gracious and its the experience and simple joys of this special place that keep me coming back - not fancy surroundings or needs.

florida travels Punta Gorda, Fl. usa
Review Submitted: June 28, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We are 2 couples from Punta Gorda Fl.. We have stayed in HomeAway homes in 3 countries and the US. We enjoyed the location of the home, but do have to say this has not been up to the standard we have had at other Homeaway home. This really has felt like we have been in a contruction zone. Plywood floors in all the upstairs and most of the downstairs. unfinished doors, and windows, exposed wiring and kitchen sheetrock showing. Entrance foyer is still a concrete slab, with the doors unfinished. We were charged extra for linens that were mismatched and thread bare to say the least, we have never had that in any other home. Beds were just a mattress on top of wooden slats, oh my back!!! There are no kitchen cabinets, silverware ect,just sitting on plywood counter top 4 tv's in house but ony 1 small one in the living area works. Construciton needs to be complete before this house is rented for "top dollar". we enjoyed our day trips, sailing, shopping and eating,,,,but this house was a great letdown. Very old furniture not very clean.
Owner's Response: Our goal is that each guest has an enjoyable and worthwhile Maine coast cottage experience. Seanook is an evolving and “delightful work in progress” as stated and pictured on our own website, and we feel it is priced accordingly.

The original summer cottage had only external board walls with shelves built into the studs. Most of the walls have been winterized except for a few remaining in the kitchen, which is the last part of the old cottage yet to be renovated. The only visible wires are from the kitchen light switch to the ceiling and are up to code. The kitchen is quite functional for multiple cooks with a unique, finished wood countertop. In the 12 years we have rented the cottage this is our first ever complaint about beds and only the second grievance about Seanook. I am especially careful about cleanliness at Seanook because it IS unfinished. The 21” TV is on Dish Network and will keep you informed while you get out and enjoy the woods, coast, bays, harbors, lighthouses, restaurants, shops, and people of Maine; or just relax and watch the weather, the wildlife and activity on the bay through our floor to ceiling windows. Our soft linens are optional at a nominal cost. We offer comfort, not luxury.

Seanook provides a fantastic Maine coast experience that is ever-changing. We do our best to offer our guests a unique blend of beautiful vistas and comfortable accommodations in an ideal setting at a reasonable price.

I rented Seanook in October 2008. I wrote a review of our stay there and was suppose to recieve information back after it was reviewed, I did not get that. I see that my comments were not in any of the reviews listed, did anyone take the time to check it out? I would like a response before I rent another property from you.

Review Submitted: October 1, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
A HUGE thanks to Ron and Mary Ellen. We LOVED our stay at the Seanook. We spent the last week of September in Boothbay, and it was wondeful. The weather was perfect, and the people of Boothbay are the nicest around.

The Seanook is a wonderful house. We loved our view from the mater bedroom. Actually we loved the veiw from every room.

If you are considering a stay in Boothbay I highly recommend the Seanook!
