Charming Cottage w/ Patio, Walk to Boothbay Harbor

Reviews

• Great Location & Good Fit for Casual Short Trips

  2/5

  This is a sweet, rustic home in a very convenient location. We chose this property due to the fact that we wanted to be able to walk easily to many locations, enjoy a classic Maine cottage experience, and it also had air conditioning, which we needed for medical reasons. We have had two summers of rentals without it and encountered heat waves, which was hard for our particular family.

  It was also our 21st wedding anniversary, so we stayed a full week to spend time as a family with our two teenagers.

  Overall, we had a fine stay, and the owner was wonderful and great ahead of our visit and even provided an early check in and restaurant recommendations for our anniversary.

  However, we were disappointed by a few things. The unit was not as clean as we would have expected, and it did not have air conditioning in all the rooms. It had two window units upstairs only. The range worked on top, but the oven would shut off when it reached the desired temp. The sheets and towels were also very very old and thoin and we were only given three towels for 4 people. If you are out an about a lot and not sitting much, the furniture is fine. If you are lounging for long periods, the couch is uncomfortable. Overall, with new linens, a more detailed cleaning company, and a quick check of the oven, the unit would be very lovely. The kitchen is adorable, and the rustic feel is authentic. Just needs a little TLC to make this rental quality for others.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Amanda, we're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall! However, we're disappointed to hear that other aspects of your stay were less than exceptional. After sending your feedback to the owner, we’d like to share the following:
  - The cleanliness of the home is a priority, and we apologize for the lapse. The homeowner had a family emergency and had to rely on a neighbor's help for cleaning, which unfortunately did not meet our usual standards.
  - The stove's error code was a new issue that occurred during your stay. The homeowner has since had it serviced to ensure it operates correctly for future guests.
  - While the house features two A/C units and four fans, the homeowner understands that during excessive heat waves, it may take more time to cool down. The age and structure of the house make central air infeasible, but the existing setup maintains a comfortable environment.
  - Although we strive to cater to the comfort of all our guests, we understand that it can be subjective, and it's noteworthy that we have not encountered any similar complaints in the past.
  We have worked very hard to provide a clean and comfortable place for guests to enjoy and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible stay for our guests!

• Conversation Pit- Big Hit

  5/5

  This was our 2nd stay at this cottage and the backyard fire pit area did not disappoint. The addition of a Solo Stove (we own one at home in Atlanta) was a big plus. The location is great, close enough to walk all over town, beds are comfy, A/C units in bedrooms are a must these days and the kitchen is appropriate for any cooking you might want to do. What could go wrong? Not a thing in our case! Thanks for a great stay.

  Location is fantastic if you want to be near Boothbay Harbor. I was visiting friends in the area and wanted a place of my own to stay. This is a "rustic" older cottage with pros and cons but on balance was a good value.
