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!

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.

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!

My husband and I live in a neighborhood with noisy, disrespectful neighbors, screaming kids, and barking dogs. We desperately needed to get away to find some peace and quiet!!! And we didn't mind how far we had to go to get it! We traveled from California, over 3000 miles, and found what we were looking for. Seanook is heaven on earth! The views from nearly every room are spectacular! Waking up to full views on three sides of the master bedroom was truly amazing! There are decks all around. The only close neighbors are the owners, Ron and Mary Ellen, who live across the street. They are readily available if you need them but, otherwise, you'd never know they were there!
If you need supplies of any kind, Hannaford Market and Rite Aid Pharmacy are only a five minute drive with views of the beautiful countryside all along the way.
If peace, quiet, and privacy are what you long for, as we did, Seanook is the place for you!

We have just completed our second stay at Seanook. Our first visit was Christmas week, 2005. Sitting by the cozy fire, and listening to holiday music by candlelight, made our Christmas very special. A few inches of snow added a picture perfect touch. It was a true, old fashioned holiday that we will always remember. Maine in winter...we recommend it! Our second trip to Seanook was in July, 2006. The summer is also a wonderful time to be at the cottage. Waking up to the beautiful views, watching the lobster boats, relaxing on the decks, or experiencing the sunsets from the hot tub, makes stress a thing of the past. There is plenty to do in town, but you'll want to spend ample time taking advantage of all Seanook has to offer. We ordered lobsters, boiled to perfection, and brought them back to the cottage for our own ocean-side dining. No restaurant has a better view! The only bad thing about our visits is the week goes by too quickly. We have already reserved our 2007 trip to Seanook! I could not imagine any season at the cottage that would not be wonderful. We are lucky that Mary Ellen and Ron have this beautiful gem that they share with us.

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Paradise Studio in early November. Indian summer was in full swing, and we took walks, sat on the dock, cooked nice meals and enjoyed the quiet. Very relaxing. Nice and easy contact with Mary Ellen & Ron, the owners.
Owner's Response: Our guests contact us through Paradise Studio, the gallery where Mary Ellen displays her art work. Seanook is the cottage on the bay where people stay to enjoy those vistas. We thank Martin & Anja for this nice comment.
