East Boothbay, Maine
Welcome to Atlantic Edge (formerly Driftwood Cottage) in beautiful East Boothbay Maine! This beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage sits directly on the shore of the Damariscotta River, offering you unrivaled panoramic water views. Truly, this cottage has some of the very best views in the area. Set well back from the road, at Driftwood the only noise you will hear is the crashing surf below. It is very quiet!
Atlantic Edge is located on King Phillips Trail which is part of a 2 mile long road that runs directly along the coastline. The road offers stunning vistas, and is a great place to walk, jog, beachcomb or climb on the rocks. The neighborhood is very quiet, yet only 10 minutes to all of the action of Boothbay Harbor and the many restaurants and shops. It is also only 2 miles to Ocean Point and the swimming area of Grimes Cove.
Driftwood has recently been renovated and re-decorated. It has all new high-end linens, down bedding, a brand new queen mattress in the master bedroom and a new full mattress in the second bedroom!! The living area has wood floors and cottage style furniture. There are 2 large Bedrooms and 1 bath all on a single level. The kitchen has been updated with new countertops, a new fridge and new oven. It is stocked with everything you need. The bathroom has been completely re-done and offers a large walk-in shower and washer/dryer.

From booking to leaving was flawless. Pam was wonderful in answering any questions day or night! The moment you walked into the cottage and saw the spectacular view nothing else mattered. The cottage was clean and inviting. Kitchen was adequately stocked and the grill outside was used twice and produced great meals! Every morning started with coffee on the deck and watching all the lobster boats checking their traps for the day. We hiked the nearby trails that were fun and challenging. Also, went into town for shopping and eating at the local restaurants. Definitely would stay here again if given the opportunity.
Beautiful property. Entry into home with wheelchair and Walker was difficult but our fault not yours.
The property was just as described…clean, comfortable, the view was fantastic! The walk along the 2 mile trail/road was wonderful.
Highly recommend! Spotless and had everything we needed.
This property was clean and the bed was comfortable for those with back issues. Very important to know for some. The view was excellent and calming to listen to the water coming in and out against the rocks. Of course waiting for the lobstermen to come attend to their pots is always fun to watch for. There is no down side to this property other than I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing young ones due to the drop off down to the water. Perfect for all others and hope to return next again year.
The cottage was clean, spacious and extremely comfortable. The views were breathtaking! The area was ideal, close to town and on a quiet street. The cottage had everything we needed during our stay and the host was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to return to boothbay again and when we do we absolutely will stay at this cottage again!!
Great cottage on the water and away from crowded Boothbay Harbor. Perfect for 2 but can accommodate 5 with second bedroom we did not use. Deck overlooking the water is private with plenty of room for lounging, grilling and eating at table. Indoor dining available as well. Large kitchen with all the usual appliances and supplies. However there is no dishwasher if that is a must but with COVID-19 we cooked and ate all our meals in the cottage and did not miss a dishwasher.
Driftwood Cottage is very comfortable, with everything you need to get through your stay. The furniture is like new and beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has all of the equipment you need - just stop at the grocery store in Boothbay and you may not want to leave. Once at the cottage you will spend most of your time enjoying the view. Driftwood is one of a few properties right on the coastline. No better way to experience Maine. As others have mentioned, there is a book with area recommendations. Pam is available but we didn't experience any problems; so we only texted her to let her know when we arrived and when we left.
Driftwood Cottage is the perfect Maine getaway. Quiet location, but close to everything Boothbay offers. Unbeatable views from the large deck. The modest outside appearance gives way to the stunning open waterfront vista from the main living/dining area. Good cross breezes throughout the cottage. Large, comfortable, well-decorated rooms. Very clean and fully stocked. Easy, welcoming communication with the owner/manager. No disappointments at all!
Having been to the Boothbay area many times over the years, we were hoping mainly to relax rather than sightsee. You could hardly find a better view than from Driftwood Cottage. Where the Damariscotta River meets the Atlantic, open ocean to Starboard, Inner Heron Island dead ahead and Christmas Cove to Port, we never tired of the view even though we were stationary. Lots and lots of lobster and recreational boating activity to watch. This property is perfect for a couple, or two couples if you don’t mind mind sharing the single bathroom (we do mind). I wouldn’t recommend it fo kids because there’s no place to safety play outside. It’s about a15 minute drive to Boothbay Harbor Commercial Street, where parking can be a challenge. $8 to $25 to park off Commercial St - free parking a couple of blocks up the hill. We found the Lobster Wharf, the General Store and the Carriage House perfectly delightful for casual, if not fancy dining in East Boothbay, just up the road. In summary, this is a very comfortable “get away from it all” cottage with a million dollar view.
