Full-stocked beautiful home near Booth Bay

This home is spacious, beautiful, and completely stocked with all you need! Shampoo, conditioner, soap, coffee capsules, sugar — all provided at this location. The comfortable beds and 2 full bathrooms were so nice! We would absolutely stay here again when in the area!

Shipbuilder’s Retreat July 2023

Shipbuilder’s Retreat was a wonderful place to stay for our 2 week vacation in Maine. We explored East Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor and the surrounding region from this convenient and peaceful location. The home itself was beautiful, immaculate and stocked with everything we needed. Good communication with Jeanne as well. Overall a great experience!

Our stay was just what we hoped for! The property was just like advertised! Beautiful decor and landscaping! We just did not have the weather to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, deck and porch. Perhaps next time!

Very nice accommodations, everything we needed in a convenient location, would stay again. We had a great quick one night stay in Boothbay at this VRBO. (Only suggestion is better bath towels. We did not have enough and they were thin embroidered decorative type towels for showering.)

Great spot for Boothbay Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was well appointed with all the amenities we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the evening patio and was able to see fireflies in the evenings. The unit was super clean and comfortable. Our communication with the property manager was prompt. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our visit to Boothbay Harbor.

New England get away

We had a wonderful stay. The unit was just as pictured except for a large sectional for additional seating. Very clean and up to date. Location was good easy to get into Boothbay Harbour as well as traveling to near by towns like Damariscotta. It was a nice quiet location to return to in the evening. Bed was very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone considering staying here and would love to stay again.

A delightful house w/great location

The house sits on a quiet, pretty lot, surrounded by the woods. It's 2 miles from a grocery store and drug store, and also very close to town, where there are 1/2 dozen great seafood restaurants. The house is nicely furnished, and comfortable. The lighting is actually great -- you just have to find the switches on the far wall. The heat and cooling worked well.

Just a short, overnight stay ...

but would highly recommend this property. Everything our group needed - very comfortable and within a quick drive to downtown Boothbay. Rental was off a busy road but was very quiet and peaceful. We only used this as a stopping off point for our travel further north but would consider staying again and for a longer period.

Boothbay Gem

This is a great property!! Clean, well managed, great mattress, good location, well stocked, good TV, nice deck and landscaping. Our only suggestion to the owners is the living room sofa and chairs are way too small for regular size people to sit on. Otherwise.... this property is awesome!!!

Amazing property!

My friend and I were looking for a last minute rental and came across the property. It’s exactly as the pictures show, beautifully decorated, kitchen has everything you need, immaculate and super comfortable beds. Jeanne was driving in as we arrived and was very welcoming. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back!
