There are few more beautiful settings in Midcoast Maine than the one enjoyed by this oceanfront property on the shores of Mill Cove in Boothbay Harbor. This light-filled coastal escape includes a one-bedroom cottage and a detached studio in a gorgeous dock setting - all just half a mile from the shops, restaurants, and recreational outfitters in the heart of downtown Boothbay Harbor.

As you step inside the main cottage, you'll be greeted by beautiful wood floors, beamed ceilings, andcrisp, blue-and-white decor that reflect your nautical surroundings. Windows on three sides of the room bring in views of the ocean, the dock, and the front garden, allowing you to enjoy the setting whether you're playing board games at the coffee table, watching the artfully hidden flatscreen cable TV, preparing meals in the open kitchen, or sitting down to breakfast at the bistro table by the window. Both the living room and the bedroom - just off the kitchen - have glass doors that open to the expansive dock-style deck, where you can grill and dine in the afternoons and sip wine in Adirondack chairs at sunset. Strolling across the deck will lead you to the separate studio, which offers a queen bed and a half-bathroom of its own. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer, free WiFi, and window air conditioning for your ease and convenience.

    THE BEST LOCATION IN BOOTHBAY HARBOR! The cottages were adorably furnished, well stocked with everything you could want or need, and the location was a COMPLETE DREAM!

    Wanted to take my teenagers for a quick getaway to Maine—someplace where we could play board games, look at water, and walk to a good coffee shop. We got it all at these wonderful cottages in Boothbay Harbor! What a sweet spot. Even better than the photos. Beds super comfy. Views are gorgeous and peaceful. We recommend bringing earplugs and a noise machine for anyone sleeping in the bunk house at the end of the pier. Our first night was windy and the dock groans loudly in response to wind and waves. Still a five star experience.

    This was my second time staying at Sweet Haven, and it was just as lovely as I remembered! The decor is charming, the beds are super comfortable, and the location can’t be beat — just a short walk to downtown shopping and restaurants, but perfectly tucked away on the water for a peaceful escape. We loved relaxing on the dock and at the house. It was a wonderful stay, and I’m already looking forward to coming back again!

    If you are looking to rest and relax this is the place. There is no need for anything in this house it was well thought out.

    Oh man, if only the weather would've cooperated, I might have never left. Being right on the water and relaxing on the dock in the sun (when it rarely peaked out) was so good for the soul! Also, I know it's random, but the little unassuming shower has AMAZING pressure. A rarity in vacation rentals, I find. Sweet Haven is such a little gem.

    The views were amazing. The house was great. We didn’t use the studio but what a perfect way for a family or two couples to stay. It was just a brief walk to town. And a short drive for hikes. Couldn’t have stayed anywhere that would have been better

    The layout of the two separate spaces was perfect for our annual trip w/ my parents to Boothbay Harbor to visit w/ family out on Southport Is. My only ‘heads up’ is for those who prefer early morning showers: we had to tiptoe thru the room my parents were in to use the shower. But that was very deal able for us. Otherwise: we can’t wait to return again next year. The view, location and overall ambiance suited us all very well. Any questions we had were answered promptly.

    We could not open the door -after putting code in we were shocked to go in and finding one bedroom We did not know the bedroom was separate-in a whole different building.Was not noted on our confirmation paper.The place was dirty, crumbs all over the floor.! The TVwas awful. Need to leave written instructions on how to use it.Very surprising that there are no fans infans in both bathroom m

    Sweethaven was most definitely a sweet haven! Location is amazing, just right up the road from downtown Boothbay Harbor. The views from the home and deck are gorgeous! And you would never know the home is right on the road, very private and quiet. Having the two spaces (main + guesthouse) was perfect for our girls trip. The rooms were huge! We’ve also already googled the mattresses in the home because we had the best night sleep of our lives! Sad to leave and will most definitely be back. Thank you Sweethaven!

    I’m not sure how VRBO was in the picture other than to add to our cost. I dealt with Vacasa during the entire experience

    We really enjoyed our stay right on the water in Boothbay Harbor. We had a perfect view of the fireworks! The beds were amazing, and everything was well-appointed. Thank you for making our return trip to Boothbay Harbor so enjoyable!
