    We had a wonderful stay. Pam was very communicative and helpful and left a kind welcome treat and note. The pictures and description of the house were spot-on and the house was very well stocked. We cannot recommend the house enough and would love to return the next time we are in the area!

    This cottages was so great! Very clean, well appointed, comfortable furniture and bedding, lovely space! The location was perfect to walk to the General Store and Lobstermans Warf for food and necessaties. Mid point between Ocean Point and downtown Boothbay Harbor. We used the firepit in the back yard for smores and the amazing sunset and waterview. Will rent again!

    We loved our stay in East Boothbay!! It was the perfect distance away from all things in Mid Coast Maine. The house was as pictured and perfect for our family of 5!

    The property was truly lovely from the tastefully casual decor to the backyard outdoor space. The hosts have thought to include everything necessary for a wonderful stay. Just beware of the steep staircases & too fast street traffic.

    Great place! Everything was as expected. We have stayed in Boothbay a few times and this location is great, easy drive down to Ocean point and just as easy to drive into Boothbay Harbor. House was well equipped, even night lights in the bathrooms. Outdoor space and view of the pond is a great add! Pam was easily accessible and very responsive.

    Our stay at “On A Whim” was lovely. The home is so nicely decorated and very comfortable and cozy. We could not have been more pleased. It is well maintained and supplied with everything necessary. I highly recommend this rental which is close to Boothbay Harbor but also not too far from Wiscasset and Damariscotta.

    Home & property were immaculate with nautical themed decor. Kitchen was well stocked. Outdoor space was perfect for grilling with large private backyard. We enjoyed our stay. Location was perfect for our event. We also appreciated the pet friendly welcome with a Leah hanger & treats for our pup. Would definitely recommend.

    We loved staying at this charming house beautifully renovated and decorated. There was everything we needed in the kitchen except for a cupboard to store the food we brought and bought at the Hannaford’s a five minute drive away. We loved walking to the East Boothbay General Store where we got the most delicious muffins for breakfast and coffee too! All the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were great too. The view of the pond from outback was beautiful and we had some nice outdoor meals including making smores over the fire pit. The house is also only a five minute drive into Boothbay Harbor where we enjoyed some nice meals out.
