Cottage holiday rentals in Boothbay

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

Great clean air bnb. Accurately as described.. looks good in photos but even better in-person. Bed was comfortable. Would rent their properties again.

Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

Wonderful,private, well equipped cottage on pretty pond. Owners quick to respond to our texts. Relaxing hot tub and fantastic sauna! Many restaurants and breweries within a 30 minute drive. Book it ..... you won't wanna leave!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!

Beautiful spot for us and our dog. Very close to everything and easily walkable. The trail up the road was a huge plus. Only small thing we ran into was a couple of folks in the neighborhood had dogs off their leashes and they were a bit aggressive running up to us walking our leashed dog. Nothing happened luckily. Not the owners fault. Highly recommend and would totally come back! Thanks David and Ginny!

We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

Being at Carole's place was a total pleasure. If I could, I'd spend a lot of time living on a boat, and this was about as close as possible to that experience, only much more comfortable. I loved being able to see all that was going on in the bay - a lobster boat with a happy dog aboard, a kayak - but mostly birds, including a few visits from a couple of Bald Eagles. For anyone who enjoys nature and privacy, this place is heaven.

We had a great time staying in Julie's place for our visit to Maine. It was nice and quiet but still very close to downtown. Access to kayaks and the water was excellent. The house itself was clean and there was a great selection of movies to watch at night. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Popham beach stay was great! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and long walks twice a day. The house itself is very roomy with lots of space for everyone. Good heating and comfortable furniture. The tapwater is very rusty so be prepared but drinking water is provided. The floors are unfinished wood so you’ll need shoes to avoid splinters but overall, it’s a very comfortable place in a great location!

Centrally located in a laid back portion of Maine’s central coast there is plenty to enjoy in a short drive yet the neighborhood is private and peacefully silent at night. Marianne (host) is available for local knowledge and went beyond expectations to make my wife and I comfortable and welcome. Cozy cottage is perfect for a couple and a pup with everything we needed. We’ll be back.

This was our third time staying at this property, and we always look forward to our next stay once the current one ends. I don’t want to duplicate past reviews, but the listing is 100% accurate - dramatic views and sounds of the sea - and we come to rest and recharge. We also bring our dachshunds who can’t get enough sniffs when they are here. Tips: - May weather is unpredictable but it will definitely be cooler here than inland. Come prepared. We bring robes, heated throws, and our own small heater (they also provide multiple heaters but the large fireplace goes a long way to get the cold out of your bones). - Don’t overpack. Bring your non-negotiables, but you can get groceries in town. Do laundry during your stay to cut down on packing. - Do check out Waterstruck Wellness in Newcastle - not too far. Nice Nordic circuit (sauna, warm pool, cold plunge) amid a forest environment. - Don’t hesitate to reach out to your host with any issues. They’re great and responsive. Enjoy!

Great location and a beautiful property. Very comfortable and feels like you are at home when you walk in.

We are three friends who wanted to go to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to photograph. We were there over a 3 day weekend in early May. Nancy's house was in a great location for us and only 10 minutes from the gardens. It is located at the end of a road. The view from the living room of the Sheepscott River was quite nice. The house was very clean which we appreciated and had all the amenities for cooking that we needed. The house is in striking distance of Boothbay and East Boothbay Harbor and Pemiquid Point. Highly recommend two restaurants: The Water Street Kitchen and Bar in Wiscasset and King Eider Pub and Restaurant in Damariscotta.

We stayed at the cottage for about a week in late September and it was a perfect spot to get away from it all. The house is on a serene pond with trees reflected on the water, classic Maine. The cottage was clean and well kept with most everything you’d need. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood, so not a party spot, which worked out fine for our quiet family. We’d consider coming back to visit family. Thank you for the comfortable stay!

I stayed at Liz and Alex’s stunning place at the beginning of September. This was either my 3rd or 4th time and I love being there. The quiet and the utter peacefulness of being literally on the banks of the estuarial river is amazing. Although I was only able to be there for 2 nights this time, I was recharged and ready to go back home when I left. On other visits I’ve taken advantage of being near the delightful town of Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Hidden Valley Nature Preserve, Muscongus Bay Lobster dock, the Audubon preserve in Bremen, and so many others. On this visit I stayed put, letting the inward and outward flow of the river soothe me while I read and wrote. On this visit I also had a nice long chat with Liz, a remarkably talented woman. See her book and ask about her films when you go.

Wonderful experience, great location and Dave communicated very quickly. Gave us several suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We’ll definitely be back and rent from Dave again

We felt truly comfortable and at home in the Knotty Pine Cottage. We spent 19 days there! My husband was working again in the area and the job site was 5 minutes away. On his days off we took advantage of hiking the numerous Boothbay Region Land Trust properties. We highly recommend Porter Preserve, Oven's Mouth Preserve and Oak Point Farm. We loved walking around beautiful Ocean Point and an afternoon on Popham Beach. We also spent an afternoon reading our books at Barrett's Park. The house is well stocked with everything you'll need to prepare meals and there is a Hannaford Grocery store 10 minutes away. We recommend The Thistle Inn in Boothbay Harbor if you enjoy crabcakes that are made from scratch. We're looking forward to our next trip back to Southport and hope the cottage will be available. Many many thanks to our responsive hosts! They made us feel welcome and comfortable in their home!!

Our stay was perfect! Austyn and Matt’s home was exactly what we were looking for in a cozy, costal cottage. Their recommendations for food and activities were exceptional. Be sure to go to LDI Lobster across the street if you visit. We went twice! Thank you for opening your home. Highly recommend to travelers looking to explore the Maine coast and Acadia.

Very quiet and cozy area to spend our holiday weekend! Plenty of space for the family to hang out and play games, and a kitchen we were able to cook in almost every meal! It was a very comfortable and clean home that we were grateful to get to enjoy on vacation. Not every day we Michiganders can find a place as beautiful as here at home to spend time away, but this cottage and the aesthetic in southwest Maine in general is a place that certainly measures up!
