Lovely long weekend in Autumn
Posted Oct. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayThe title and description are spot on, this is a vintage home with every amenity we needed for a long weekend exploring Damariscotta and Boothbay Harbor. We only needed 3 bedrooms, so did not use the bunk beds tucked into the first floor alcove, and planned to spend most of our time out & about. It was a perfect location for us.

Classic Boothbay Cottage
Posted Jun. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayGreat location close to town with great view of lobster cove.
some of the furniture needs updates the lift chair has a short circuit and gets stuck in up position. the other upholstered chair should be replace or at lest a slip cover quote dirty. Trash is an issue, prior tenants has lobster and barrels were full. a trash bin to hold barrels would be a big plus since animals got into the trash.

Disappointed
Posted Aug. 31, 2022 on HomeAwayWe knew the home was older when we booked, which was fine, but it was very cluttered with unnecessary and unusable furniture and other “things”.
It was not very clean. There were dust balls everywhere. Although the towels may have been clean they smelled like cigarette smoke and perfume, thankfully there was a washer and dryer and we washed them all.
I think the most disappointing and misleading thing was that the water access is treacherous and not really usable. There is no landing at the bottom of the steps seen in the pictures. The steps are steep and crooked and at the bottom (if the tide is out) are jagged rocks and seaweed. We brought kayaks but only used them twice because it was quite difficult and dangerous to launch from the house. This area was not swim-able. I took my kids to a small park down the road to do that.
It’s sad because this could be an absolutely beautiful house and property

Wonderful old house close to town
Posted Jul. 26, 2022 on HomeAwayDowntown Boothbay is a perfectly manageable walk, the town swimming hole is even closer, and the house has a stair down to the water, where you can put in a kayak or paddleboard. We were six people (me and wife, in laws, and two teenage kids). We were not cramped, had a great time over three nights. House is not young, but it's in good condition, has a lot of character. No real neighbors to worry about, nice lawn, we saw a family of mink, went kayaking, ate lobster, shopped in boothbay harbor, had a great time.

Just What We Hoped!
Posted May 16, 2022 on HomeAwayWe loved this older charmer!
The house gave us the feeling of visiting Aunt Anna or our grandparents place.
The rooms were comfortable for us and roomy enough for all of us to be together or find our own space.
The quiet of early Spring, the nice lawn and the ocean were all what we needed to get together and recoup.
Thank you to the staff at Vacassa and the owners of this property.
We noted there was likely someone of Finnish heritage I am half Finn and it was fun to share stories about Finland with my friends.

Frustrated
Posted Apr. 25, 2022 on HomeAwayWhen we arrived, I was taken aback. The pictures on line did not portray the true reality of the house. The pictures were taken with a wide angle lens making the rooms appear larger than they were. The dining room table was our favorite place!!! We basically used the house as a place to sleep which it was adequate. We loved Boothbay Harbor and exploring Maine.
I attempted to find out why the fees and expenses regarding the house were NOT given before committing to the property. They were almost as much as what was on the picture as the nightly rate. No where did it say that there would be additional costs. I never received a response to either email.
The house was adequate but not portrayed honestly.

Great well equipped house
Posted Oct. 17, 2021 on HomeAwayWe stayed here with our 4 kids and loved it. Tons of space, nice yard with tidal water behind it. The house had everything you could ever need, one of the best equipped houses we’ve rented. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved the place. We hope to return.
Posted Sep. 25, 2021 on HomeAwayWonderful spot, rustic home. Our 1st night we had animals spread the last guests garbage all over the lawn. We also discovered the grill was out if gas. Each time, we contacted the VRBO folks and our concerns were addressed within hours which was nice.
