Family-friendly vacation rentals in Boothbay Harbor

Amazing view and location! We loved how convenient this location was to shopping and restaurants. Having never been to Portland, this was a very pleasant surprise for us. Parking in the lot directly next to the building was easy and close. Sitting on the balcony watching the boats was so relaxing. Very comfortable condo and we would definitely stay again.

I would recommend it 100%

Thoughtfully designed and appointed place - has all the things you need and Marcia makes it very easy to get in and check out. Easy to get to Lewiston, Brunswick, Portland and everywhere in between!

My family and I had another great stay at Kathleen’s. We arrived and were so grateful for a clean and comfortable stay. We cooked lobster and were so happy to see that Kathleen’s kitchen had everything we needed. Excited to go back a third time!

Wonderful stay, the place was in a beautiful location, walkable to Wolfe’s Neck Farm where we love to walk. My husband and I were there the first few days, then our adult daughter joined us for two nights. The place is small (described accurately) but the three of us found it very workable. The king bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of outside patio space to lounge and soak up the sun when it was out. This was a work trip for us as we were getting a property in a nearby town ready for sale. We didn’t have time to use the provided kayaks but hope to in a future stay. The hosts very friendly and accommodating, highly recommended this property.

Great place and a great location! Really easy to walk to downtown and some local restaurants and pubs. Would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in the area. So many good books to read if you have an extended stay.

Charming, cozy and comfortable rental. This cheerful, spotless apt was the perfect location for us to enjoy Bowdoin and Brunswick and had all the amenities we needed. Nina and Tony are the consummate hosts - welcoming and highly responsive. Without hesitation, I would stay here again.

The unit is rustic, will not be to everyone's taste, but it's unusually spacious and tucked away from all traffic noise, not to mention walking distance from downtown and the Old Port. Lots of places to eat! Easy to find a parking spot on the street. All we ever heard from outside were children playing and birds. The stairs are steep, so not advised for those not fit or who have balance issues, and it takes awhile for the heat to warm up the place on colder nights (though it does get there). But Sharon is responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed her little perks like Swedish Fish.

I love Maine's working waterfront and even though my stay was in the off season there was a wonderful glimpse into our fishing economy and the hard work it takes to keep it happening. The quality of light in the unit was amazing, and viewing the moon across the water was stunning. Easy to access all that the midcoast has to offer within an easy ride, to Rockland and Damariscotta and Boothbay and Wiscasset -- my favorite spots. Beautiful places nearby to hike and explore. Onsite staff people Debbie and Blair were wonderful; when I had an issue with the internet -- it was fixed quickly. Unit was well equipped for a person who loves to cook. Also having a bathtub in a waterfront apartment was a plus since many don't have them. Clean, comfortable, safe-feeling -- all one could want in a Maine coastal vacation. Wish I could have stayed longer but instead I'll just plan to go back again.

The Nest was perfect for our needs for us and our daughter's family. Snug, with a beautiful view, great walks, and a beautiful little beach close by that was perfect for a 2 1/2 year old. So lovely in October. Thank you, Dave and Betsy for your hospitality!

Beautiful, comfortable place to stay near the water. Walkable to Robinson's restaurant is a big plus.

What an amazing place. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked and then some. Carolyn and Dave were great hosts, available but not intrusive. I even got a text to let me know it started raining and my sunroof was open. We loved the location and will definitely check to see if it is available next time we are visiting.

What a great cozy cabin in the heart of Boothbay. It’s walkable to everything (about a 10 minute walk to the footbridge in town) and surrounded by lovely lush Maine forest. The cabin is cozy and perfect for a family of 4 or 6. There are 2 downstairs bedrooms and a loft upstairs with a daybed/trundle. Great play space indoor and out for the kids. Hosts were helpful and super communicative. Thank you for a lovely visit!

We truly enjoyed our time in this home. Absolutely incredible views of the water and many outdoor seating options so you can soak it all in! Very simple inside, but you have all that you need!

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!

We love Katharine’s cabin! This is our second year and we plan to make it a tradition. It’s just a great location, and the cabin makes you feel right at home. It’s easy to disconnect and just take Boothsbay in! Thank you for having us!

Beautiful cabin in Sherwood Forest Campsite. Check in and check out were really easy and the cabin itself was very clean. Kitchen is bare bones but had pretty much everything we needed. Even had some firewood for us!

We want to stay here now every time we go to Maine! The setting is so beautiful and peaceful and our suite was bright and airy and rustic. Tim was such a kind host and it felt like a home away from home. Checked so many boxes for beauty and escape. Don’t hesitate to stay here!!

We had a fantastic stay at Luanne's! The house is in a good location, about 10 min to downtown Boothbay Harbor. The property is beautiful with a great view of the water. The bedroom and bathroom setup worked well for us, since most bedrooms had access to its own bathroom. Everything was clean, appliances and grill worked. Luanne was very responsive to any questions and issues. Renters should note that there is a guest cottage/converted garage on the property, just about 15 feet away from the main house, and this cottage is also rented out. The property is essentially shared between the two houses. It did not become an issue during our stay, but we were cognizant that there may be another car coming up the driveway when the dogs and kids were out in the yard and it did make the property feel less private. Overall, would recommend Luanne's for a great stay close to Boothbay.

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.

Mark was awesome. The place was just what I needed to get away from the grind of life. I recommend him to any and everyone.

Crissy and this beautiful cozy cabin in the woods, are both wonderful! Arrangements couldn’t be easier, lots of recommendations for things to do, but just hanging out in the home is nice too. Great place to unwind.

Gorgeous spot. Most well appointed and lovely Airbnb ever. Denise and Ernie are outstanding hosts.

My wife Paula and I found this to be a perfect place to spend our visit to coastal Maine. We loved this was rustic and cozy cottage that was furnished with antiques and filled with perfect local decor. The view of the bay from both the inside and outside was gorgeous. Drinking coffee on the porch we were treated with the enjoyment of watching boats, and abundant wildlife. We lacked nothing as there was plenty of cups, dishes, cookware, utensils, linens, etc. We took advantage of the access to live lobsters sold from the dock down below that was an easy walk. And enjoyed watching the lobstermen work their trade. We drove across to Orr and Baileys Islands for additional shops and restaurants, but the Dolphin Marina restaurant was our favorite. All in all, this cottage exceeded our expectations, and the bar was already set high. We certainly wish to return. Many thanks to our host. Keith and Paula
