Up to six guests can settle onto the inviting couch and sitting chairs in the living room to watch movies on a 40” flat screen TV with BluRay player.

Get some rest in three comfortable bedrooms that include a queen-size master with cathedral ceilings and skylights. Unpack your bags in the full-size closet and chest of drawers, and get ready for the day in a private en-suite bath with walk-in shower.

Could be great but…Stay Away
The location is fabulous, the house is ok except for the mold. Working with Vacasa is an absolute nightmare and the title and description of the listing totally false. The title says house with kayaks but Vacasa said the kayaks weren’t available. One bedroom was covered with mold and a terrible smell so it was unusable. Now we’re 3 adults and only 2 bedrooms! Vacasa was informed immediately with vague replies that they were contacting the owner. Three days in with no updates, I asked for a refund and was offered only a mediocre one. The dishwasher was broken too. The Vacasa fees were equal to the cost of the rental, doubling the expected price which were unknown until the very end. The three of us will never rent from Vacasa again!!

We Loved this Cottage
From searching this location, booking, up-to-the- minutes prestay communication, entry, vacation in the area, thru checkout we could not have had a more enjoyable stay. The spaciousness of the grounds on Mill Pond w/ample privacy, the home with it traditional charms and renovations met all of our expectations. We complement the owners and managers on the amenities, complimentary extras and the entire pet friendly experience! We will be sureto book future stays here when we will be visiting the Boothbay areas! Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us!

Great Property Needing Attention
Great location: very private while being a 5 min walk from delightful General Store, short drive to Boothbay Harbour.. Spacious, comfortable. Terrific screened in sunroom; very comfortable MBR. Various minor things need attention: e.g. various windows need screens, have broken shades, very hard to open; poor lighting in several rooms; double bed noisy and shot; 2 bedrooms very dark/need lighting and ceiling fans; some closet door knobs broken, MBR closet doors broken; freezer not cold enough. All MINOR REPAIRS. . VRBO manager responsive and attentive. Clearly needs more staff.....which is a problem throughout the area. If these things are attended to, it would be a great property.

Maine in May
Overall, it was great! Being early in the season, there were some glitches i.e. no hot water, water to dishwasher had not been hooked up, garbage pick up info was incorrect. Fortunately, Nicole was very responsive and took care of everything in a timely fashion. The best part of the entire property is the fire pit down by the water!

Bucket List Trip to Maine
Loved the convenient location and the quiet picturesque views from the sun room. This property is truly beautiful. Improvements: Freezer seal is deteriorated so everything melts including ice, cob webs and dust bunnies need attention in all rooms, supply more toilet paper and paper towel for a week stay. Update online listing to state that enough wood is supplied for your first fire and perhaps where you can get more. Contacted management company with questions about listing and they were unaware of the amenities listed in the posting. The description they had did not match my printout when it came to wood and kayaks available on property.

The setting and the property itself are first rate. We had a fire the last night there and saw the stars. Being down the street from the general store and a close ride to downtown makes this house a great place to stay.

Wonderful, peaceful location
We loved this house in East Boothbay! My husband and I and our two dogs had a wonderful stay and would return in a heartbeat! The house was clean, well stocked and in a wonderful location. Very quiet and peaceful which is what we were looking for. There was not air-conditioning but we were cool enough with the windows open. There was only two of us so we only used the front part of the house but it perfect for us!

Plenty of space just needs some updates
Rental met our needs and we appreciated the amount of space indoors and outdoors. The WiFi was not great if you are trying to work remotely. Needed to be rebooted consistently. Kitchen was well stocked for functionality though decor could use a refresh and a few repairs needed like a broken window. This is not the property for you if a hot shower is important. Turnkey gave us some tips for getting hot water in showers when we contacted them (that would have been helpful to have in checkin notes) and there is plenty of hot water but the mixers for the showers are off.

Great winter stay in BoothBay Harbor
Property is on a quiet street on Mill Pond.. house was space for our family of 5. Great sun room overlooking the pond! The house was dated, which lined up with some of the other reviews. Close drive to downtown BoothBay (7 mins), great hiking trails with the BoothBay Region Land Trust all short drives from the property. We would go again in the summer .. great location & experience!

Great spot, house needs updating
Can't beat the spot. House is between a salt water pond and the ocean. We spent as much time outside on the property or exploring the road, boat launch and east boothbay. There is also a small town market within walking distance for coffee and breakfast. House needs some TLC. Bathrooms are definitely a spot for improvement. The kayak also had a hole in it. Either way we would consider staying again.

Could us some additional wine glasses only three and all very small. Tried to put trash into garbage cans in the garage and both were full so had to leave on garage floor. Also the lobster pot was burned beyond use so we left it on the back deck, it needs to be replaced as we were unable to clean it adequitely to return to use.

Great place, lots to do on property and in the area.
We loved the house, had everything we needed to enjoy cooking big meals, visiting on the porch, gathering around the fire pit and playing in the water. Beds were comfy, nice big living room to watch the playoff games, good showers. With three college age boys and an active family it was awesome to have the kayaks and SUPs right there to get out on the salt water pond. Open ocean boat ramp just across the road and down a bit, short walk to the general store for iced coffee and fresh made breads, treats and sandwiches. We will be back, perhaps with our dog!

PERFECT ACCOMMODATION IN PERFECT LOCATION
AN IMPROMPTUDE GOT AWAY AND IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. THE HOUSE WAS AS ADVERTISED, EXCEPT IT HAS A OLD SOUL. VERY SPACIOUS GROUNDS, BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED INCLUDING MOWN PATHS AROUND BOULDERS AND SHRUBS. SAFE FOR MY DOG TO RUN FREE IN THE BACK. THE POND REFLECTS TREES, HOUSES ACROSS THE WATER, EVEN PINK MORNING CLOUDS. CLEAN, COMFORTABLE (BED AND PILLOW, ALSO) AND EVERYTHING ONE MIGHT NEED. I RECOMMEND THIS GREAT PLACE TO A SINGLE PERSON, COUPLES, OR LARGE FAMILY WITH CHILDREN (THERE ARE TOYS IN THE GARAGE!).
