Lovely Home On the Water within Walking Distance Of Town

Welcome to this beautiful oceanfront 2-bedroom home on Mill Cove. Completely renovated in 2014, the home combines a comfortable, modern style with an incredible waterfront setting. From the house and large waterfront deck, you’ll have beautiful views of Mill Cove and its historic shipwreck—there’s always something interesting to watch as the tide comes and goes.

The property now includes a private dock and float, making it easy to enjoy the water during your stay. Bring your kayak, cast a line, or take a swim when the tide is high. Please note that the dock and float are not available for motorized boats, and there is no space on the property to store a boat trailer. If you’re bringing a boat, we recommend contacting Boothbay Harbor Marina about a slip.

The primary bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed, beautiful water views, a large flat-screen TV, and a washer and dryer tucked away in a convenient closet. The updated full bathroom has heated tile floors, and the bedroom opens directly onto the spacious waterfront deck.

The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, plenty of windows overlooking the water, and its own sliders leading out to the deck. It’s a peaceful spot to enjoy a morning coffee or relax at the end of the day. Both bedrooms have window AC units for hot summer nights.


The living room is comfortable and spacious, with plenty of seating and a large flat-screen TV with streaming for those evenings when you want to stay in and relax.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare meals during your stay, including stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Both an espresso machine and a regular drip coffee maker are provided.

When you’re ready to explore, downtown Boothbay Harbor is just a short distance away, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and things to do. Enjoy a day of deep-sea fishing, a lobster bake, whale watching, or a scenic boat ride. There are also nearby golf courses and tennis, as well as music cruises and dinner theater for an evening out. Be sure to visit the Maine State Aquarium while you’re in the area and take some time to explore all that Boothbay Harbor has to offer.

Couples Trip-1st time Maine

Perfect week for two couples. The vicinity was great and view from backyard was very soothing and relaxing. The house was great for 4 and each having a private bath. Very well organized and stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit too. Boothbay town was definitely one of our favorite places to eat and see after touring all over Maine.

Sept Get Away

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It is right on water, walkable to the town and a beautiful property. The outside is perfect for relaxing on the deck or by the water and the interior has everything needed for an enjoyable stay...perfectly clean, well furnished and a kitchen well equipped for inside dining. We would highly recommend this home. Joe & Claire

Honestly....Perfect!

This house, it's amenities, and its tranquility exceeded our expectations. The pictures don't do it justice. We walked into town several times to eat, shop or board an excursion. We sat on the back patio for coffee and built a bonfire in the firepit on our relaxing day in. We didn't plan to cook so the kitchen served us well for preparing a light breakfast or making sandwiches and reheating leftovers for lunch. It has a mini dishwasher that we had to run daily with four of us. It's in need of a fully functioning microwave but some may not miss one! Counter space is minimal but because we did little meal prep it didn't matter. It's a beautifully furnished and comfortable home!

A wonderful view

My husband and I are retired and traveled around Maine for 6 weeks. We loved this Vrbo. It was clean, comfortable with a wonderful kitchen. We stayed a whole week and did not want to leave. No complaints at all. We hope to return here again next year

Lovely place in a very neat little town ...

This was our second trip to Maine in as many years, and this time was for our honeymoon. We had stayed about 40 minutes away the previous year, and really liked Boothbay Harbor when we came for a whale watching tour. So, we booked this property. It was great ... walking distance to town, Wendy was excellent to work with ... the house was comfy, clean, well-appointed, and had enjoyable views. If we return to Boothbay Harbor, we would first consider this as the place to stay. Definitely recommend!

Home away from home

This property was in the perfect location in Boothbay Harbor. It was our home away from home which was clean, comfortable, close to downtown and the pictures of the home are accurate. It was easy to communicate with the property manager who was helpful and made check in easy. The home has a fabulous deck to sit in the morning to drink coffee and look at the spectacular view.
