This luxury retreat in the heart of the Mid-Coast, Captain's Quarters, is an 1800s Boothbay Harbor cottage offering historic charm, modern furnishings, air-conditioning, and a prime locale looking directly out to the footbridge and across the street from the bay. A peaceful coastal getaway awaits, and you're only a short walk to the downtown shops and dining. You'll find a local brunch hot spot and a spa at your doorstep. When the day is done, head across the street to the sunset chairs providing the best view in town of the footbridge. Play golf or go sailing. Walk a half mile to Commercial Street and choose from whale watching at Maine Whale Watch, several great cruise operators, or renting a boat at Schooner Eastward.

Unwind into vacation mode in the modern living area. In the evening, listen to music on the Sonos system or settle in to stream a movie on the 55' 4k smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, and all of today's online entertainment. Prepare your favorite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring an array of helpful appliances, including a dishwasher. Or, keep mealtime simple and sizzle burgers on the shared gas grill on the patio behind the building.

Each bedroom in this three-story home has a smart TV, bedside USB charging, and Bluetooth music systems. Find comfort in the primary suite, which has an en suite bathroom accessible via the hallway. A guest bedroom features a telescope for gazing out to the sites in the harbor.

Extra perks include a washer/dryer, complimentary commercial-grade WiFi, and a backup generator.

    The host, Paula greeted us warmly when we arrived at this upscale & beautifully decorated private unit! She offered us recommendations for great restaurants & things to do in the area. A visit to the Botanical Gardens is worth the trip!It was great to have use of the carport as it was chilly & frosty in the mornings! All of the amenities in the space were wonderful!

    This was a nice place to stay while exploring the area. I would suggest some kind of window treatment. The road runs at the same level of the windows fairly close. Even Shutters on the bottoms of the side. The place was equipped except for a cutting board and coasters. The owners are very close by and to access the water you have to walk in front of their house. a little awkward.

    We recently stayed at the above property for a number of days. We stay in the Boothbay area quite a bit and this property was in a very lovely area. The property was very nice, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The unit is above a garage with the nice owners living nearby. It is an open concept large room with dining area, kitchen and living space with heat and air conditioning. It has many windows, bright and airy with views of the property. We did not cook other than breakfast but everything to cook in was provided. There is a cozy veranda for nice weather. The washer and dryer were a plus. Overall we enjoyed the property and would stay again.

    This is an absolutely heavenly location with a space that couldn't be more beautiful. Our stay was absolutely perfect. There were wonderful places to ride bikes, and hike. The botanical garden is literally around the corner. There is a canoe for use off of the pristine dock and a gorgeous deck that looks out onto their gardens and the inlet. We grilled and ate overlooking a sunset, we enjoyed the comfortable furniture and fabulous decor while playing cards on a rainy day. And, their dog Chloe is an absolute love. We would definitely return to this slice of paradise. Jeff and Jodi
