Waterfront Cottage! 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath **Walk to Town* 1/2 Mile to the Harbor

We loved the location and Cottage. So did our DogVery quiet and comfortable

The house was great. Great location, easy to get to Boothbay

Pros: Comfortable cottage in a great location (pictures on the website don't do it justice). Great view of the water from the deck and nice Adirondack chairs down by the water. Great for two couples since there are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on separate floors, which adds an extra layer of privacy. There were only two of us travelling as a couple, so we didn't need the extra bedroom. We did appreciate the extra bathroom and space, though. Water access is great at high tide (able to use my paddleboard right from the cottage). The cottage is well equipped and tastefully furnished. It's within walking distance to town, hiking trails (literally a block away), and Barrett's park for swimming. We had a high energy dog traveling with us, so these features were ideal for us. The outdoor deck also comes with a gate, which is another great feature if you want to safely contain a dog or small child while you are eating outside or appreciating the view.Cons: Limited water access at mid to low tide (unless you're willing to wade through a lot of mud to make it happen); no hose for outdoor cleaning purposes (a challenge when traveling with a dog or wanting to rinse off a paddleboard or kayak). The property does not get much sun (mostly in the shade). A lot of tree cover over the deck, which results in pollen, seeds, cones, etc. falling from them. The 10:00 a.m. departure time adds to the challenge of completing the required cleaning.

We have stayed in this cottage many times but this was the first time we could get it during COVID. The owners have always been extremely accommodating and have upgraded the cottage over the years. We are already talking about going back next year if we can.
