About this property

Oceanfront Cottage & Studio on Mill Cove w/ Water Views, Deck - Walk Downtown

There are few more beautiful settings in Midcoast Maine than the one enjoyed by this oceanfront property on the shores of Mill Cove in Boothbay Harbor. This light-filled coastal escape includes a one-bedroom cottage and a detached studio in a gorgeous dock setting - all just half a mile from the shops, restaurants, and recreational outfitters in the heart of downtown Boothbay Harbor.

As you step inside the main cottage, you'll be greeted by beautiful wood floors, beamed ceilings, and crisp, blue-and-white decor that reflect your nautical surroundings. Windows on three sides of the room bring in views of the ocean, the dock, and the front garden, allowing you to enjoy the setting whether you're playing board games at the coffee table, watching the artfully hidden flatscreen cable TV, preparing meals in the open kitchen, or sitting down to breakfast at the bistro table by the window. Both the living room and the bedroom - just off the kitchen - have glass doors that open to the expansive dock-style deck, where you can grill and dine in the afternoons and sip wine in Adirondack chairs at sunset. Strolling across the deck will lead you to the separate studio, which offers a queen bed and a half-bathroom of its own. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer, free WiFi, and window air conditioning for your ease and convenience.

Sweetest stay!

This was my second time staying at Sweet Haven, and it was just as lovely as I remembered! The decor is charming, the beds are super comfortable, and the location can’t be beat — just a short walk to downtown shopping and restaurants, but perfectly tucked away on the water for a peaceful escape. We loved relaxing on the dock and at the house. It was a wonderful stay, and I’m already looking forward to coming back again!

Great coastal Maine retreat

Sweet haven was the best place for a relaxing, long weekend in coastal Maine. We could walk to everything, and the recommendations left in the cozy cottage were spot on. We would love to visit again!

Such a Sweet Haven

The views were amazing. The house was great. We didn’t use the studio but what a perfect way for a family or two couples to stay. It was just a brief walk to town. And a short drive for hikes. Couldn’t have stayed anywhere that would have been better

What a treat!

Oh man, if only the weather would've cooperated, I might have never left. Being right on the water and relaxing on the dock in the sun (when it rarely peaked out) was so good for the soul! Also, I know it's random, but the little unassuming shower has AMAZING pressure. A rarity in vacation rentals, I find. Sweet Haven is such a little gem.

Great Harbor Views

Well located and well equipped spot for two couples who know each other or a family. Cool experience living literally on a pier. I rented after their recent opening and they were ironing out some kinks but were quite responsive.

Wonderful double home on the water!!!!

Separate front and back houses were perfect for us. One bedroom per home, front house has the kitchen and area for extra guests. Super clean and well appointed. Having your own private docks was amazing. Perfect relaxation! Boothbay is a wonderful coastal town with a mix of active fishing and shoreline tourism. Will definitely stay here again when I return to the area.

Cute cottage on the dock

This place was adorable! It was convenient to Boothbay Harbor yet away from all the tourist traffic. It was very peaceful. We could have spent all of our time sitting on the deck/dock and watching the water - so soothing. We were lucky enough to be there when fireworks were set off in Boothbay Harbor. What a great view sitting in comfortable chairs on the dock. We could see the fireworks and the reflection in the water.
