The Mackerel Sky Suites are located on the edge of downtown Boothbay Harbor. Sidewalks will lead you to the center of our small town filled with shops and restaurants. The Boothbay Opera House, art galleries, the public library, and the town park are close by. The waterfront with all its boating options is just two blocks away. Set sail on a windjammer, take a scenic boat ride out to see puffins on Eastern Egg Rock, or catch the ferry out to Monhegan or Squirrel Island. Public trails offered by the Boothbay Region Land Trust, the town owned Barrett's Park, and our winding coastal roads will provide many opportunities to get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is 3.6 miles away. The Department of Marine Resources Aquarium is 2.6.

Wood floors, white walls, local artwork, and a clean uncluttered decorating style create a welcoming and relaxing space. Smart TVs have streaming options like Hulu, Netflix, and Prime. Ceiling fans are located in the living space and the bedrooms. Heat pumps provide central heat and air.

Decorated in the relaxing and tranquil colors of the sea, this spacious one bedroom rental has everything you need for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. Bed linens are from Brooklinen, “Cool and crisp, our Classic Percale Sheets feature a breathable 270 thread count weave for that timeless, hotel-style luxury. Perfect for hot sleepers, these sheets will help you stay cool all night long. Made with 100% long-staple cotton, you’ll feel like you’re snuggling up in luxury every single night.” Cotton blankets and LL Bean comforters are supplied for the colder months. Just right pillows are essential for a good night’s sleep, which is why we use pillows from Casper. Their “pillow in a pillow” construction makes it easy for you to adjust the loft of your pillow. Casper pillows have a down alternative stuffing making them light and airy. A brushed chrome ceiling fan with clear glass globes helps to circulate cool air in the summer and heat in the winter. Table lamps on either side of the bed are provided for evening reading.

Just off the bedroom is a full sized bathroom. The vanity has a large mirror with sconces on either side for shaving and applying makeup. The shower has a glass door and fiberglass shower unit. A small separate section of the bathroom has a flush and small window. Bathrooms are supplied with soap, shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap. Bath towels, washcloths, hand towels and a bath mat are provided.

The kitchen has everything you need including a dishwasher, refrigerator, range, microwave, and double bay sink. The refrigerator includes an ice maker. Appliances include a hand mixer, toaster, and coffee maker. Additional comforts include a coffee station stocked with local coffee beans, a coffee grinder, and a selection of tea and hot chocolate. We also provide a selection of snacks to tide you over until your next meal. Visit our Thursday farmer’s market to stock your fridge with local produce, cheeses, meats, breads, and pastries. The cupboards are stocked with pots and pans and baking dishes as well as serving dishes and utensils.

The utility room has an additional table that can be used as a desk or project area. There is also a washer and dryer. There is room here to store luggage and additional items.

The living area includes a queen sized futon, a wing back chair and an electric recliner. This unit has central AC, and a 46 smart TV. There are two bookshelves with games and books. Just off the living room is an enclosed porch/mud room which provides a great place to sit and look at the gardens or watch the nesting chickadees. If you prefer, there is a small grassy area with seating for two adjacent to the gardens.

Parking for one car is included. Maximum capacity is two people.

    The hose was central located, one block away from all BoothBay Harbor has to offer. We were able to walk everywhere. The house was spotless, well appointed and perfect for the two of us.

    Loved our long weekend at the Captain’s Quarters! The location is perfect for dining, shopping and walking in Boothbay Harbor without any hassle of parking in town. The rental was just as described, was beautifully clean and well stocked. Great communication with our hosts. We had come to kayak for the weekend and spots to drive to launch were easy to find. We will definitely be back.

    I loved how close this was to downtown. We walked to dinner and loved grabbing a coffee at Red Cup every morning. The house was clean and loved the added touches by the owner. I would stay here again.

    The apartment has everything you could possibly need for your trip. If you do need something, the host is very happy to assist. Short walk to the heart of town so you don't have to deal with parking. Would definitely recommend staying here.

    Had a great time, location good even for a person needing a cane for walking. Furniture in LR only OK for sitting, the futon is extremely uncomfortable for a place to sit. Difficulty in finding place, I'd be more apt to say, look for 'parking area' or at least mentioning that, we thought that was for 'pay to park' not where we'd find entrance into VRBO--likewise the person upstairs felt the same he knocked on front door to find where to go... I'd provide a 'warm blanket' in case nights get chilly as did for us, thank heavens i had a car blanket or we'd have been very chilly. ALL was good, and would recommend. Thanks for the stay.

    Deanne and Dave are wonderful hosts. You are staying right in town. Restaurants, shops, art galleries and the harbor are all right outside your front door. The rental is spotless and equipped with all the amenities you will need. You have your own parking spot which is a necessity in this quaint little town. We already plan to return in the near future. Points of interest: the Puffin/Whale Watch is a must. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and the Coastal Botanical Gardens were such a treat. Dave mentioned Barrett Park, but we never made it over there. FYI: Ports of Italy is outstanding! Thank you to Deanne and Dave for maintaining such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy Boothbay Harbor!
