Charming ocean-front cottage, stunning views of Linekin Bay out to Gulf of Maine

Our family had an unforgettable 5 day stay at this cute red house. It was a very convenient and quiet location with everything provided. Everyone was comfortable and happy!

The cottage on Linekin Bay, just a few miles from downtown Boothbay Harbor is a great place to stay. Lovely view from a brand new covered deck, fully equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms. Fun to sit and watch the fishing and lobster boats at work, or get out there in your own watercraft!

6 Bay Street is truly a wonderful and charming oceanfront cottage. We have vacationed in East Boothbay for over 35 years so trust me when I say this is the perfect home if you want the perfect coastal Maine experience. The location is exceptional and directly facing the rocky shoreline of Linekin Bay ....just steps to the water and a short walk to the public dock. The outdoor porch is plenty large enough for grilling, eating meals, birdwatching, harbor watching, enjoying cocktails or morning coffee. The home itself is larger than you would expect and can easily accommodate 8+ with lots of comfortable beds, two updated bathrooms, a large open kitchen and a cozy family room for movie night. My elderly mother especially appreciated the first-floor bedroom with connected bathroom. This cottage is absolutely loaded with kitchen utensils, cookware, spices, etc. You won't have to purchase things like napkins, garbage bags, tinfoil and on and on.... it's all stocked which makes life so much easier. And you will never find a home with more fresh towels, washcloths, bedding, pillows and the like. Also, not to be missed is the proximity to the East Boothbay General Store. It's a beautiful 10-minute morning walk for breakfast and an awesome way to start the day. Chuck took care of everything for us, answered all of our questions and made sure our stay was an amazing experience. You can search up and down the coast but if you want Maine at its authentic best, you will not find a better home than this.

Our family of four adults had a wonderful time. The cottage is very clean, the kitchen was so well stocked, and it was lovely just sitting on the porch overlooking the bay (the chairs/table are all high barstool types and our one wish was that there had been some regular height chairs to lean back and relax into, but that's a very small thing). There were plenty of towels/washcloths, there were fans in the bedrooms- the owners have clearly worked to make sure their renters' stays are comfortable. It's a quick drive into town for shopping, restaurants and boat tours, but also peaceful and tucked away if you just want to read books and watch lobster boats. The owners were super responsive and friendly. We had a great week - thank you for your hospitality!

A great time in MAINE. Family enjoyed the out of the traffic locations, but close to Boothbay Harbor if you want. A short walk up to the East Boothbay General Store, check them out. One of our favorite things was just sitting on the porch and looking out over the water, day and night. Daughters liked to poke around in the rocks and in seaweed looking for crabs and sea glass (and the good WiFi).

So nice to be in a true Maine cottage! Great location for wildlife viewing, we saw a bald eagle, juvenile bald eagle, mink, and seals. We were also able to watch the lobstermen and the Cabbage Island Clambake, while they worked. The owners were outstanding and responsive. Excellent communication.

We spent a week with friend at this really special oceanfront cottage. The house is absolutely charming and basically directly located at the water. A great place to relax and do nothing or to be very active. We went swimming and fishing off the public dock, played hide and seek with the kids around the house and explored the area e.g. we made a trip to Monhegan island, went digging for mussels at the beach, visited the Boothbay botanical garden and enjoyed the great food at the East Boothbay General Store. The communication with Chuck was really smooth and friendly. Chuck always responded extremely fast and professional. I can truly recommend this cottage.

Great cottage, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Clean. On the water, beautiful view, we saw herons and several bald eagles at close proximity. Very nice spot!

Our group of six friends spent a week at this gorgeous oceanfront property in Boothbay. The adorable house is just steps from the water so we spent most of our time swimming off the public dock, hanging out on the lawns, grilling on the deck, watching sunrises, and playing board games at night. Check in was smooth and the owners were prompt to respond to questions, and had some really helpful local suggestions. Check out was also easy and it was really nice of Chuck to let us have a late checkout, and also recommend places for us to stay another night since we were looking to extend. The downstairs bedroom and the bathrooms are new/modern; the upstairs are a bit older but the cottage has a truly charming rustic feel. The kitchen was well stocked, so we cooked many meals soaking in that gorgeous view. The best part was the deck with a gas grill, where we cooked some amazing meats and lobster. It was also heartwarming to read about the history of the cottage. Thanks Chuck Lori and Bob! GPS tip: If mapping using google maps, look for Five Gables Inn, as the GPS will not otherwise locate this address.

beautiful cottage and location. We loved learning about the history of the property. The cottage was well equipped and the owners were fantastic.
