Linekin Bay Lookout is a private East Boothbay deckhouse set above Linekin Bay, where pines, tidewater, and sunset light define the stay. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home pairs classic Maine warmth - vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, broad windows, and wood floors - with the simple pleasures guests come here for: coffee on the deck, seafood on the grill, and a private wooded path through the pines to the rocky tidal shore. The upstairs living level is the heartof the home. The living room looks out toward the bay and opens to the long second-floor deck, which connects the living area and primary bedroom. Gather under the vaulted ceiling, cook in the adjacent kitchen, linger over dinner by the glass doors, or, after a day on the water, step outside to watch the sun set over Linekin Bay. The home sleeps up to five guests. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a king bed, deck access, bay views, a dressing area, and a newly updated bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower.

Downstairs are two additional bedrooms - one queen and one double - plus a second updated full bath, laundry room, and family room, giving couples, small families, or friends on a quiet getaway room to gather and space to retreat. The setting feels secluded but still connected. Pick up freshly baked muffins or cinnamon buns from East Boothbay General Store just down the road, head into Boothbay Harbor for restaurants, shops, boat tours, whale watching, and harbor walks, or spend the day at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Head to Ocean Point for classic coastal walks, salt-air views, ocean swims, and a glimpse of Ram Island Light, guarding the eastern entrance to Boothbay Harbor and the mouth of the Damariscotta River.

​​​​​​​Bigelow Laboratory is also within walking distance of the home, making Linekin Bay Lookout a practical and peaceful East Boothbay base for visiting scientists, researchers, public-event guests, seasonal staff, and others spending extended time in the region. With Wi-Fi, Ethernet, a dedicated workspace, and a quiet setting among the pines, the home is also well suited to remote work, writing, reflection, or a longer coastal stay.

Good to know:
- The shoreline below the home is private, natural Maine coast - rocky and tidal rather than sandy. It is a beautiful place for tide-watching, rock-hopping, and quiet time by the water; water shoes are recommended for low-tide exploring.
- This home has interior stairs that may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Please consider your individual mobility needs when deciding if this home is the right fit for your stay.

    Big open floor plan with excellent views of the bay. Sunsets are incredible. Excellent for a getaway

    This house has a great location and lovely views on the water, but should not be allowed to be on the rental market in its current condition. It is filthy and dirty full of mildew that will hit you as soon as you enter. We asked to be moved but the nearest option was 2 1/2 hours away which was not acceptable. The house needs a deep cleaning!!! The furniture and flooring were stained, there were dirty cups in the cabinets, cobwebs everywhere and you couldn’t escape the mildew. There were two dehumidifiers in the basement, one piped into a drain and one not. A Vacasa representative was there as we arrived and didn’t empty, so we did. Within 12 hours, the 5 gallon tank was full again. Until this home is brought up to speed, I would suggest not waist your money renting this house. The house could be very nice if cleaned and deferred maintenance was preformed.

    This house needs a lot of TLC and DEEP cleaning. The mildew will chase you out of the house which it did for us!!!

    This house has great views, a nice dock and was in a good location in Boothbay. The basement was musty; it cleared out a bit by the end of our stay, but with an older home that’s rented I would think the owners would provide a permanent fix. The basement also needed more than one dehumidifier - it was humid and moist for our full stay, so the upstairs was the only enjoyable area.

    The house was nicely equipped, beds were comfortable, view of bay nice. Not pedestrian or bike friendly, however, and the photos don't show how far down it is to the water.

    Beautiful home with a real mid-century feel. Location in a beautiful cove on Linekin Bay. Quiet and secluded.

    Overall, everything was lovely- beautiful water front property, well stocked (games, puzzles, books, kitchenware) and lovely artwork too! There are some quirks about an older waterfront home- a bit musty and damp indoors.

    The property was perfect - and the views from the porch and dock were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. We went to Coastal Botanical Gardens to see the trolls, walked along the end of Ocean Point Road and admired the views, had a delicious lobster roll at the Lobsterman's Wharf and pizza from Boothbay Harbor House of Pizza. Not great response from the property manager (Vacasa) but other than that, we would recommend this spot.

    Cleaners didn't remove trash from previous renters and trash storage area is built into the house by the kitchen. We had to deal with a horrible trash smell for most of the week. Also, we booked on VRBO but all correspondence came from Vacasa. I don't remember every paying such huge fees and would think they could at least clean, t as ke out the trash and make sure the toilet bowl kids were attached. Yes, when we showed up one of the kids want attached.
