Head of the Harbor I
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Retreat into the romance of coastal Maine. This exquisite 1800s Boothbay Harbor cottage bursts with vintage character and antique charm. Only a short walk to the downtown shops and dining, this location can’t be beat.
When the day is done, head across the street to the sunset chairs providing the best view in town of the footbridge.
This cottage, “Head of the Harbor I,” is located across the road from the water’s edge, where guests can sit and gaze out over the harbor. Access the home via a back deck with bench seating.
Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped eat-in kitchen with seating for two. Deep blue cabinetry, spacious countertops, with modern white appliances, including an electric stove/oven provide all the conveniences for your vacation needs. A door from the kitchen conceals the original wooden staircase that leads down to the basement, which is equipped with a washer/dryer.
Kick back and relax on the queen-size sleeper sofa while watching shows on the 40” 4k smart TV equipped with access to Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV and other services. High-speed Wi-Fi is included to support any remote working or schooling needs.
Up another flight of stairs lies the bedroom and antechamber sleeping space, furnished with a twin sleeper sofa. Under lofted ceilings sit a dresser, side table, bench, and armchair, all set on original 1800s wood floors. Walk through to the bedroom, where a queen bed rests on a gold metal frame. This unit has a portable air-conditioning unit and baseboard heating.
An intimate getaway for just two or your group of four in a vintage charmer, this centrally located Snug Harbor is your retreat from the world.
