About this property

Cozy Coastal Cottage with Salty & Serene Sunsets

This adorable coastal-themed cottage sets within the quiet and friendly, NON-SMOKING COMMUNITY of Water's Edge Condo Association on Linekin Bay off of Ocean Point Road.
Kick back and enjoy the screened front porch or side deck with a view of the bay while enjoying your morning brew, planning your day's adventure, reading, or just absorbing the tranquility.
Water access is available for boating, kayaking or swimming from the floating dock, or stairs that lead to the pebbly beach where one can explore at low tide. There is also a large lawn by the shore for everyone's enjoyment.
At the intersection of Hwy 27 and Ocean Point Road (Hwy 96) is Hannaford's Supermarket. You'll feel yourself start to unwind as you near Water's Edge. Suggestions to note while driving: the view! Lobstermen's Wharf (which recently has been razed, but they have a lobster-boat bar in its location), The General Store (great coffee/breakfast & lunch sandwiches/gifts), The Carriage House; all just minutes from your home away from home!
Beautiful Boothbay Harbor is just a 10-minute drive away, where there's many outstanding restaurants/eateries/shops for all budgets, as well as numerous activities to choose from: sunset cruises on a windjammer of old, whale-watching/puffin/fishing charters, night life. The Maine Botanical Garden is also beautiful!
Hiking is another fantastic option, with many land-trust trails in the local area. Within walking distance is Linekin Bay Preserve with forested trails and views of the coastline and Damariscotta River. Walk the King Phillip's Trail, or take a 2-minute drive to Ocean Point at the end of the peninsula and enjoy nature's magnificence while walking the rocky coastline.

Cute little place. Clean and neat. Perfect for my daughter and my stay in Maine. The only issues were shower was little small and ac unit was a bit of an issue. But besides that loved the grounds and little beach area.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 July 2025
Doris -- Yes, the shower IS small...agreed...but it is the largest unit we could put in the small cottage bathroom. :( I so wish you had let me know about any problems with the AC during your stay. I could have talked you through it, or gotten you help, rather than you be frustrated. I apologize for any inconvenience this caused you. The next guests let us know about the problem and it was solved. I'm happy you enjoyed the solitude of the entire property! Sandy

Amazing location in Boothbay

Our host was so professional, friendly, and she did an excellent job communicating with me and meeting her was delightful. I would stay there again. The location is quiet, friendly and just a stones throw walk to the water where we enjoyed chair and dock time. Oh the cool breezes were fantastic. Definitely a 10 in my opinion Thanks SM. Diane

Very well appointed, comfortable cottage-like condo in a quiet location away from the bustle of summer crowds in Boothbay Harbor but conveniently located to explore the wonders of Mid Coast Maine. Sandra was very responsive to a couple of issues we had and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Stay in East Boothbay Harbor

This property was amazing! It had everything we needed, and plenty of space for four people. The cottage was very comfy, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. There was plenty of seating to enjoy watching the sunset each morning down by the harbor. Everyone in the area was super kind - we met a lovely couple who owns a different cottage, and they shared with us some recommendations for the area. The owner, Sandy, was super responsive, and equally as kind. Highly recommended staying here!

Comfortable cottage

Cottage was cute, very clean and quiet. Location was nice with water view, though dock was closed and no real beach. A little out of the way from most attractions, but close to Ocean Point. Cottage was fine fot two but would be crowded for more. We would recommend it for couples who are looking for peace and quiet.

Every thing was perfect from the location to the cottage itself. My sister and I were impressed by how the cottage was so well set up. We never needed to search for anything we needed. The owners literally thought of everything. The location is quiet yet close to many points of interest. We really enjoyed swimming in the bay. We would definitely book here again.

Quaint Stay in Boothbay

This motel has been converted into condos with individual units. This one was decorated so nicely with many Maine touches. The shower stall is very small but workable. Most windows do not open, so it can get warm during the day. Lovely screened in porch and another outdoor seating area.

Sarah -- Thank you for your review. The windows are usually open day and night inviting the cool bay breezes to flow through the cottage, which is delightful! Due to the rainy, damp season we've recently had, yes, the windows need coaxing but are workable. :) I'm happy you enjoyed your Maine getaway! Sandy

Maine relaxation anniversary week

We arrived after 9PM and found check-in to be very easy. Our week couldn’t have been more perfect because the weather was amazing with sunshine and eighties the entire time! The view of the ocean was stunning and we spent a great deal of time just sitting and staring out at the water. We were able to relax and simply soak in the quiet, the clean ocean air, the sounds of the birds! Our cottage was everything we could have hoped for and we loved the way it was decorated with fun and colorful beach/ ocean items. We met the neighbors next to us and they were friendly and kind! If only we could have stayed longer! We’d love to return again and stay in this adorable little cottage a little longer next year- a Maine home away from home!

Boothbay

The property was beautiful and impeccably maintained. The cottage was cozy and tastefully decorated in a nautical theme. Pictures make it appear larger than it is, but as a frequent traveler I have learned that this is typical of a on line listing. Although small, it certainly had everything we needed and was perfect for the two of us. The weather did not co-operate for our stay so unfortunately didn't get to use the outside spaces, but would have if we could have as they were so inviting. Kitchen had everything we needed and we did cook quite a bit. The steps to the loft are steep as indicated, but worth the climb as the loft was so comfortable. It was a perfect place for our Maine getaway. The location couldn't have been better for exploring the Boothbay region! Excellent trip!

Lovely stay in the perfect place

Sandy's property is small but mighty - our family of 4, including 2 teen girls, absolutely loved it. It is even better than pictured, everything clean, fresh, nicely decorated -- lovely outdoor space, convenient to all there is to do in the mid-coast area. The condo residents were so friendly and Sandy was gracious and responsive. We ate at the Carriage House Restaurant up the road which was convenient and tasty, bought groceries at Hannafords and otherwise were out eating delicious lobster at the Cabbage Island Clambake and 5 Islands Lobster Company (both highly recommended!). We enjoyed the sunset at the dock and our girls even jumped in for a refreshing swim. Boothbay Harbour is cute, but crowded and Sandy's place was a welcome respite. thanks for everything!

Matthew & Kim -- I LOVE your "small but mighty" reference! I used to refer to the cottage as it lives large for a small space, but I like your description better! Thank you for that, and your lovely review! It brings us joy to see families experience/explore new things and truly enjoy time together. So happy to have contributed in a small way! It sounds like your Boothbay segment was a great part of your overall vacay! Take care, and be well! Sandy & Ty

About the host

Why they chose this property

My husband and I visited friends that were staying in Boothbay Harbor back in 2013, having never been to Maine previously. Our friends happened to be looking for another property. We all fell in love with this duplex! And that, as they say, was that! Never in our wildest dreams would we have predicted we'd own a cottage in Maine. Every year since, we can't wait to escape Florida's summer heat and plan our adventures in this beautiful state! Western views with magnificent sunsets, deep water access for anyone with a boat, a friendly, small, quiet community. Maine is a step back in time!

What makes this property unique

This duplex is an adorable standalone cottage. Close to restaurants and hiking, yet on the quieter side of Boothbay Harbor. Picturesque Ocean Point is just down the road. A hidden gem.
