Boothbay Beauty

The home was built in the late 1800’s which means you’ll find lots of character here. The downside is that the 2 sets of stairs are not to today’s standards and are very steep with tiny treads making them difficult to maneuver. Note that there is only one bathroom for the 3 bedrooms. The accommodations were very nice and relaxing and the home is equipped with very good tvs. Currently there is a beautiful view of the harbor out the windows but that’ll be disappearing as soon as the home being built across the street goes up. We did not have two reliable parking spaces, at best only one my, because someone at the hair salon next door kept parking their very large truck in the spot reserved for those renting this unit. There is noise in the morning in the master bedroom because it’s window looks out over the patio belonging to the breakfast restaurant housed in the first level of the home. We enjoyed Mana D’s, the restaurant in the home, but light sleepers may find the noise problematic in the morning. The noise was only from the patio though, not from the restaurant itself. The bathroom was fine and hot water was not an issue, and the kitchen worked well for our needs. My complaints would be the 2 dangerous stairways, the parking situation, the lack of hangers in each closet, and the blinds on the windows weren’t room darkening so it was bright in the morning in a couple of the bedrooms and the living room. The location of the house is excellent. It is a 10 minute walk, or less, into the heart of the historic downtown area and there are restaurants, galleries and shops on the way. The rental has beautiful furnishings and is well maintained and is very comfortable. I would absolutely considering staying in this rental again but if you have any travelers who have issues with stairs, especially very steep stairs, I would not recommend staying here.

Good Location, Adequate Amenities, But beware stairs and low doorframes

Stayed here for 3 nights with wife and in-laws. Listing doesn't do a very good job of telling you that the unit is not the building, but a smaller suite upstairs. Place was clean and updated. Kitchen had all of the bare essentials to do minor cooking (making breakfast was fine). One bedroom is on the main level, directly connected to the single bathroom. Other two bedrooms are up a VERY steep set of stairs that anyone that is not a child would struggle to use more than once. Doorframes on the upstairs units are also very low, anyone 6'2 or tall will easily bump their head unless they are actively avoiding it, as I did. Also, the price of the cleaning fee for this small of a place is absurd.

Beautiful with great location, maybe haunted

We had a great time on our trip! Snug Harbor was beautiful, cozy, had everything we needed, and an excellent view of BBH! Minor concern was we weren't sure which sunset chairs were ours to sit in. There was some construction across the street so not sure we could have even made it to the chairs if we knew which ones to use. We joked through out the trip that the place was maybe haunted as we constantly heard suspicious sounds day or night. A major issue that we had is a stranger unlocked the door and walked right up into the living area at 8:00 a.m. while we were in our pajamas. There was concern that our shower was leaking into Mama D's cafe and the owner sent him to check it out. After multiple phone calls on our end to figure out what was going on, it does sound like it was an honest mistake that the owner thought our unit was empty. However, a stranger walked in on 3 young females not fully dressed, nobody told us if we could continue using the shower, was a plumber coming, did we need to leave the house, etc.

Les lits sont confortables et propres. Aussi la maison est bien située par rapport au centre-ville. Les serviettes étaient suffisantes. La maison est accueillante et la décoration est belle. Cependant il y a des manquements dans la cuisine: coupes à vin seulement 2,pas de grille-pain,pas de napperons,le four pas nettoyé. Pour un groupe de 5 il a manqué de papier de toilette et aucun papier mouchoir est fourni. Il n’y a aucun cintres et crochets dans les chambres

Nice location.

The location in Boothbay Harbor and the town itself are great. The home is spacious, at least if you do not have too many people trying to share the one bathroom. It was nice and clean. Aspects that were less than desirable were the lack of almost any pantry items needed for cooking, such as some basic spices (other than salt and pepper), oils, etc. We had planned to cook Thanksgiving dinner, which would have been possible with the pots and pans, but we would have had to stock the kitchen with basic pantry items to really cook. We also had to purchase a lobster cracker in order to cook and eat a lobster. Finally, none of the beds had pillows we could sleep on; while they look nice for a made bed, they are all huge and very uncomfortable to sleep on. I felt like I was wrangling a small cow in order to try to squish a pillow into a position I could sleep on; they are firm and about 1 feet high and 3 feet long, which is perfect for a giant but not most ordinary humans.
