16 Reviews of Property 178006 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful new home, fully and tastefully decorated, has everything you and your friends/family might need during your vacation. Beautiful views of the Damisricotta
River. Close to Boothbay Harbor, our favorite place to go for dining and shopping.
A must see is the Botanical Gardens, even if your not a garden enthusiast! A short drive to Camden and other towns. The highlight is buying live lobsters at the co-op
in Boothbay. Bring them home, have someone else plunge them in boiling water,
cook some corn on the cob and maybe a salad...nothing better!! We sat out on the large deck, overlooking the river. Ate,drank and enjoyed the tranquility of this lovely home.
Communication with the owner was excellent. Everything went as planned with making the arrangements. We do hope to return again in the near future!

The house is exactly as the description states and more. The house was clean and well maintained, the kitchen is amazing and houses every utensil, pot, pan or serving item you need! I am now convinced that I have to replace my washer and dryer after using the front loading machines at the house, they are wonderful! The internet was a must have if you are traveling with teens.They have to stay connected to everything or they will wither and die. The community dock was great for fishing, even though we never caught anything and the deck is perfect for relaxing in the evening with a drink. We have never seen so many stars in our life! We took several day trips to Camden, Mt Battie, Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset and it never took longer than 45 min to get where we were going. If you travel with children, take them to Monkey C Monkey Do, it is tons of fun! This was a very relaxing vacation and I highly recommend renting this home. We will rent again if we ever make it back to Maine.

We rented this property in July 2011 for our family of four and our mother-in-law. The layout is great and works well with grandparents because of the downstairs large bedroom with bath that can be closed off for privacy. It would also work well with two families. It has an extra room with a double bed so I would count it as four bedrooms even without a closet in that room. The photos accurately reflect the furnishings which we liked. The owners are very professional and responsive -they also provided lists of activities both through email and in the house. Do not be afraid of the listing of queen beds in the two "master" bedrooms - normally I would only rent with a king because I would be concerned about a queen bed "caving in" but these queen mattresses were very supportive and "even". It is very private but close enough drivewise to the nearby town Wiscasset (10 minutes) for lunch/grocery, etc. and a little further to Boothbay downtown (20-30 minutes). Our pre-teens enjoyed hunting for little crabs along the river rocks at low tide. We did not mind the walk down the hill to the river but someone with a cane would have to walk down to the common dock instead. The house is very nicely supplied in the kitchen and laundry with the little things that you don't want to have to start from scratch. It was extremely clean and more than enough towels, sheets, pillows, etc. There were fans in every room which we did need to use at night. An excellent place to unwind in beautiful surroundings and to use as a launching pad for Maine excursions.

We were looking for a vacation where we could have access to a variety of activities, but a quiet place to stay. This house exceeded our expectations. The house was in immaculate condition. All appliances top notch, kitchen well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, etc. The deck was great, we spent each morning on the deck watching the sun come up. The grill was a great addition along with the supplied charcoal - although we couldn't find utensils for grilling. We were amazed at the absolute piece and quiet of the area. There are neighbors close by, yet barely visible becuse of the heavily wooded area. Cable tv provided all the popular channels although we rarely watched it, opting instead to read the wide variety of local magizines and books that are supplied. Wireless internet was a nice feature and found to work with no problems and was hi-speed. The property description was very accurate and the owner was very responsive to our e-mail inquiries. As far as local activities we recommend Tidal Kyaking in Boothbay Harbor, Cabbage Island Clam Bake, breakfast at Harborside restaurant (stuffed blueberry french toast), Boothbay Playhouse for community theatre and for a real local lobster roll try Coon's Grill on Rt 27.(if you don't mind dinning at a roadside grill.) We would return to this house in the future.
