Set back on a grassy knoll overlooking the water, this 3BR/2BA Boothbay Harbor home offers a truly tranquil vacation retreat. Drive minutes to restaurants, hiking trails, whale watching, and the quaint fishing village of Boothbay Harbor. Sleeps 10.

INSIDE THE HOUSE

After arriving in this leafy neighborhood overlooking the water, pull up outside the house on a driveway with parking space for 4. A dark wood walkway leads up to the front door.

As you step inside, turn rightinto the main living room – an open-concept space with hardwood floors and lots of natural light. There's seating for 6 on a charcoal gray couch and sofa chair. After a day of coastal adventures, curl up for the evening in front of a 40” flat-screen TV.

Next to the living area, a dining area with a glass top table seats 6. From here, gain access to a wrap-around back deck with a BBQ grill and outdoor seating overlooking the trees.

Next to the dining table, an open kitchen makes it easy to chat with the group while prepping meals. Find plenty of appliances close to hand, including an electric stove-oven combo, microwave, and dishwasher. In the mornings, fire up the coffee maker or whizz up fruit smoothies in the kitchen blender.

A hallway off the living area leads to a bathroom with a single-sink vanity and shower/tub combo.

Further along, you'll find the primary bedroom, furnished with a queen bed and 32” TV.

Next door, a snug 2nd living room offers an extra hang-out space with an L-shaped couch and 42” TV with cable.

The remaining bedrooms are located upstairs. On the left of the stairs, a bedroom has 2 queen beds, while the 3rd bedroom comes with a queen bed and two twin beds.

Both bedrooms also share access to a bathroom with a shower/tub combination.

LOCATION

Drive 4 minutes down the coast to East Boothbay. Stroll around the marina in the morning, then grab a lunchtime bite at East Boothbay General Store or Lobsterman's Wharf Restaurant.

Take a 7-minute drive for beautiful coastal views at Ocean Point, or watch the waves roll in against the rocky beach at Grimes Cove.

Just 12 minutes away, the fishing village of Boothbay Harbor is a tranquil place to wander between laid-back cafes, shops, bars, and eateries. Grab brunch at Mama D's, try the Lobster Dock for seafood, then stroll to Downeast Ice Cream for a sweet treat.

The harbor is also a great jumping off point for whale watching, fishing trips, and island sailing tours, the perfect way to soak up the natural beauty surrounding this quaint coastal town.

Enjoy Boothbay's Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens! If you're planning a trip in November or December plan on experiencing Gardens Aglow, Maine's largest light display, with over 360,000 LED lights illuminating the central gardens and buildings.

    Kids just loved the deck and played on the rock outcrops. Plenty of room for the 2 girls, their parents, and us grands.Game cabinet was also a hit. Kitchen easy to cook in and with dining inside and out everyone was happy. Great location, although I recommend finding it the 1st time in daylight. Easy trip to Ocean Point, Boothbay Harbor, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and the Railroad Museum.

    Lovely location in the Southwest Harbor neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the beach, the nearby pier, and into town. It’s a cute, welcoming, and comfortable home with a great deck. Would absolutely stay here again.

    We were very happy with this house. It looks so small online, but it did fit all 10 of us comfortably. The deck is big and has very nice, updated outdoor furniture.! We would definitely go back again.

    Overall everything was fine. The one negative was the internet did not work even with communication from owner texting option to correct. None repaired the issue. Would return as close to extended family.

    The Bird House is a lovely, peaceful cottage nestled among the trees with water view glimpses just a few steps away from the beautiful beach path of the rocky harbor. It accommodated a family of four comfortably. The inside was clean with updated bedroom furniture and updated bathrooms. The whole place felt bright and welcoming with a coastal vibe of hand-picked decorative artwork and furnishings. The cottage can be warm and cozy perfect for cooler weather or open and breezy to take advantage of warmer days. Shops, dining, bakery, and even the post office were all within walking distance. The local market was just a short drive for us to dine in among the tree tops on the porch. Our family is looking forward to planning a future adventure with family friends in one of the larger homes, so we can gather together.

    Overall, the stay was fine. For awareness, this listing is marketed on VRBO, but actually another property manager, Vacasa, manages everything. It can be a little confusing.

    This house is beautifully located in a quiet neighborhood. The small motel across the street did not impact us at all. Sunset over the water behind it was beautiful! Loved the two living areas and open kitchen for our group of six women, also the large deck. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen well supplied, though did have to pick up napkins and coffee filters. The General Store up the road had delicious breakfast and lunch food! Hope to return again

    Badger Den comfortably housed 3 generations. House was clean, kitchen well equipped, and had an amazingly large yard, fun for yard games. The new deck is beautifully built. We appreciated the hard work that must have gone into creating such a wonderful space. We used it every day, and loved the peek-a-boo ocean view. We biked, walked, enjoyed sunsets, lobsters, the trolls at botanical garden. Thanks for a great week!

    My family had a lovely visit in August. We enjoyed the close proximity to the restaurants and shops in Southwest Harbor and hiking the nearby Ship Harbor Trail. We also enjoyed looking at the stars snd watching the crabs on the beach at night. The cottage had plenty of AC for the warmer days, and enough cozy space for our family of four.

    We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Ocean Point was close for exploring the coast, the Boothbay area had plenty of great restaurants and the deck was great for coffee in the morning. We appreciated on site laundry and two full bathrooms as well. We had a great weekend and hope to be back.

    Place was clean. We each had our own rooms. Had everything we needed and then some. 2nd floor tub backs up a bit. Could use a mat in front of sliders to deck. Handle on freezer comes off occasionally. Otherwise overall a great place to stay. Loved the place. Beautiful sunsets down one end of the street and Hannaford supermarket down the other end. Great location.
