Boothbay, Maine
Morning Star Cottage is the perfect year-round Maine vacation rental! This Victorian custom-built home is situated on a narrow peninsula, affording sunrise and sunset water views from the porches and the third-floor balcony. A small cobble beach can be accessed at low tide for wading, shelling, and sunning. An easy kayak launch from this location provides exploration of the near and distant islands as well as a close look at the seals, loons, and lobster boats which inhabit the surrounding waters.
The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, the largest botanical garden in New England is just 1/2 mile from this home. The CMBG is a horticultural gem and is considered one of the Maine's premier natural attractions.
Beautifully appointed with vintage and antique furnishings, this seaside home comes equipped with every amenity anyone could want for a truly carefree and memorable vacation.
A new deep water dock, shared only with owners' other home next door is now in place! Relaxing on the float, feels just like being in a boat.
All of our guests have raved about the accommodations and the spectacular views at our cottage. We choose to inform all of our potential guests that our property is adjacent to a grass and gravel long term parking area. The area is for residents of a small off shore island community called the Isle of Springs. We have been renting Morning Star Cottage for twelve years and have never had a single complaint about it. Everyone who spends time at Morning Star Cottage loves it, and we are confident you will too!

Lovely home with fabulous views. Very clean and well equipped.
This property was terrific! Beautiful views of Penobscot Bay. Equipped with everything you could need. Charming and well appointed interior. Owner available and very helpful. Could not have asked for a better place!
Though the photos are terrific, they can't illustrate the feeling of this gorgeous setting. You get more than you see. The host is accessible and friendly. The home is well appointed.
Beautiful, peaceful location and amazing home on peninsula. This is a prefect getaway to relax and spend family time. The owner and manager, George H., was extremely helpful and accommodating. Great stay!
Had a relaxing and peaceful stay over the holidays. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the house. Great location close to Boothbay Harbor and all the holiday lights.
This house was perfect for 2 couples. We enjoyed the location of the home to everything we wanted to see! The views from the home were beautiful! George was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again on our next trip to Boothbay!
The house is great, spacious, open concept downstairs, nice bedrooms, and nice 3rd floor family room and balcony. And outfitted with all that we needed. Yard and dock is where we spent much of our time, meals at the picnic table with a beautiful view. Kayaking conditions were fantastic, calm waters, seals and other wildlife, and interesting islands and shore to explore. And the area has a lot to offer, we enjoyed the botanical garden (great for kids), Boothbay harbor, bike rides, hikes, and loved Boothbay Craft Brewery. Can't wait to go back!
I was struck by the beautiful setting of this property. The house sits proudly on the hill overlooking the bay. The street is quiet and there is a lot of privacy between houses. The house was clean and neat and George the owner was wonderful.
My family enjoyed an absolutely perfect week at this incredible spot. George was a wonderful host - easy to coordinate with and incredibly welcoming. The house was spacious and wonderfully appointed with just about the best views possible. We spent so much time sitting on the dock, watching the birds and the seals in the water and made full use of the kayaks and the grill. Even though we only left two days ago, we've already been planning for our next visit. I would highly recommend renting from George for your post-COVID family reunion.
Beautiful, spotless home on water. Second bathroom is on 3rd floor. bedrooms on second floor, a little difficult for older folks with luggage to get up steps. Cozy, warm decor, feels like home.
