About this property
Ocean front cottage on a drive-on island in Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Exquisitely maintained 5 bedroom/2 bathroom cottage right on the ocean. Family owned since 1891. Step back in time into a cottage furnished with antiques and historical items from Maine. Incredible views of the ocean on all sides. Spacious bedrooms, clawfoot tub, indoor and outside shower, huge eat in kitchen stocked with cookware of all kinds, a beautiful wrap around upper deck with lounge chairs for views of the sunrise over the ocean, a sunlit cozy reading nook stocked with books, steps from a private beach cove and dock to swim, at the private end of a beautiful drive-on island with a tennis and pickleball court, and an historic casino building. All this is just a short drive into Boothbay Harbor for dining & nightlife, boat tours, shopping and fun. This cottage has been a treasure for our family and I am finally opening it up for some responsible and respectful folks.
