This duplex had a great layout and a nice location. Wish the property had a regular height dining table and better linens. However, the property was perfect for a weekend in Boothbay Harbor.

Great spot for Boothbay Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was well appointed with all the amenities we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the evening patio and was able to see fireflies in the evenings. The unit was super clean and comfortable. Our communication with the property manager was prompt. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our visit to Boothbay Harbor.

Great find!

This was a great find if you don’t want to stay in the chaos of the harbor. Very quiet and relaxing but a quick drive to the harbor for activities (just go early to find parking). The house is well-equipped - we saved money by buying lobsters and cooking them at the house. Don’t miss the botanical gardens, Farm 23 bakery or sunset on ocean point!

Very nice accommodations, everything we needed in a convenient location, would stay again. We had a great quick one night stay in Boothbay at this VRBO. (Only suggestion is better bath towels. We did not have enough and they were thin embroidered decorative type towels for showering.)

Just a short, overnight stay ...

but would highly recommend this property. Everything our group needed - very comfortable and within a quick drive to downtown Boothbay. Rental was off a busy road but was very quiet and peaceful. We only used this as a stopping off point for our travel further north but would consider staying again and for a longer period.
