Beautiful location and home
We had a great stay at Keepers Cove and enjoyed our time in Boothbay (our 7th visit). The house has everything you need for a relaxing visit and is well-equipped for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner! A great spot for coffee or a drink on the deck with a beautiful view and lots of birds to spot. Wendy was super sweet at check-in and communication with Sea Maine was easy via text. We LOVED the heated floors in the upstairs bathroom and the bedrooms were comfortable. We're a family of four with two kids under 3 and they enjoyed the home as much as we did. We would love to come back.

What a gem!
This cottage is as cute as can be. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen, as we cooked local seafood each night. The decor is just adorable- we especially enjoyed the tidal clock on the stairs going up to the bedrooms! Our favorite part was waking up early and going down on the dock with a cup of local coffee to watch the fog, or the tides come and go. Bonus: we bought fresh eggs a few doors down, and garlic from a neighbor around the bend. Star gazing is wonderful, right out your bedroom window! We didn’t want to leave. 10 out of 10!

Wonderful week!
We had a fabulous time at Keeper’s Cove! The location was close to all Boothbay has to offer, but far enough to feel quiet and relaxing. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything you need. it was a wonderful week!

Beautiful house for exploring Boothbay region
This is a beautiful house for exploring the Boothbay Regio. Very close to the Maine Coastal Botanical Garden and beautiful hiking trails like Owens Mouth. The house has everything for the perfect lobster dinner, to bring home a steamed lobster or to steam your own.

Keeper's Cove is a gem
We loved our stay at Keeper's Cover in Boothbay. The house was beautifully done and extremely clean. Judy was fabulous to work with in reaching out to us to let us know we could check in early and to ensure that we were enjoying our stay. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and the beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed spending our mornings drinking coffee on the wonderful deck looking out at the water and relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a lovely house in a great area.
