Quiet location with a nice view of the bay. Loved that it was in walking distance to town and restaurants. Some updates needed, carpet cleaning, new blinds etc., but over all a great place for the price.
It's a very charming, well appointed, harbor/cove view home. We loved our stay. It was so peaceful. It was spotless, plenty of towels, essentials (dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, tp, paper towels), and blankets. We would definitely go back.

Great view and location.
We loved that you could walk to the park and over town.
The location of the room was fantastic. The room was musty and not the cleanest, but it was fine! If it’s any consolation, I would go back and stay again.

Great setting, wonderful place
The place itself is very clean, very well stocked, and just a comfortable, great place to stay. The setting was wonderful, quiet, and relaxing.
We enjoyed our stay in Boothbay Harbor. The location is scenic. A very short drive from the downtown/tourist area. There is a nearby park and view of the water from the balcony. You do have to climb stairs up to the apartment so anyone with mobility issues should know that.

The place is very well kept in a great location. Barrett Park is right across the road great for a swim and relaxing. Far enough away from the touristy hub bub yet only about a mile walk into all the attractions. 👍👍👍

Great location
Great location, nice and quiet and still close enough to take advantage of the town's offerings. Clean and well maintained and provided with all you would need to enjoy a relaxing time in Boothbay. No issues with codes or finding the place.
Reservation process and host communications were excellent. The 2nd floor apartment and deck offered great views of Lobster Cove. The apartment was clean and kitchen was well appointed. It was a very quiet location. We enjoyed our stay.
The property description and pictures were totally accurate. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had the right amenities.
Everything was great except there were no tissues anywhere.

Great location!
Great location! Right across from Barrett Park that has a small beach. 10min walk to town. There is also a trolley that stops at the park 11-5 everyday if you don't want to drive. The house had all the cooking utensils that one one need. This was the first time I have used vacasa and would definitely use again in the future. The were very responsive to any questions I had.
