About this property
Three Schooners, an oasis just steps from downtown Boothbay Harbor
Named after the three shipwrecks whose watery resting places lie just outside the front door of this charming waterfront apartment, Three Schooners offers a peaceful haven from bustling downtown Boothbay Harbor, a five-minute stroll away. This ground-level, one-bedroom apartment (with queen-size bed) has an inviting sitting room with a twin bed sleeper sofa and TV with premium cable. The large, bright eat-in kitchen comes equipped with full-size refrigerator/freezer, electric stove, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee-maker, everything you need for cooking (including the lobster pot), and table service for six. The serene bedroom is furnished with a richly appointed queen-size bed, large chest of drawers, and full-size closet. The bathroom includes a spacious shower with bench and luxurious linens including oversized bath sheets. Whether enjoying an early morning cup of coffee or a spectacular sunset glass of wine, the large backyard beckons with several seating areas (including a picnic table and an old-fashioned double swing) to take in the various tidal personalities of the always-changing historic Mill Cove. Whether it is the newest generation of ducklings paddling and playing behind their watchful mother, a blue heron fishing at low tide, or a party of gulls sparring on the skeletal ship remains, the cove never disappoints. Beyond the lush flower and vegetable garden (from which you are welcome to help yourself to whatever is ready to harvest), guests can head down the ramp to the floating dock at high tide and take a refreshing swim or paddle the two Pongo kayaks out for a spin (life jackets provided) over to the main Harbor to the east or along the quiet shoreline to the west (local guide available). Other amenities include wireless high speed internet, access to washer and dryer, barbeque grill and picnic table, cooler and ice packs for day trips, and off-street parking behind house. Owner lives on premises in main house. Three Schooners is the ideal place to head home to at the end of every “perfect day” exploring Boothbay Harbor and points beyond.

A very nice apartment for two people in a great location close to downtown Boothbay Harbor. Optimal parking. Beautiful garden with view of a cove on the water. A floating dock with two kayaks that can be used for hours on each side of high tide, giving kayaking enthusiasts opportunities to explore all around the harbor, shoreline, and nearby islands — a very big plus.
Great location. Beautiful and peaceful spot to relax and enjoy. You have everything you need here for a great vacation. A lovely host who respects your privacy.
Convenient to town and right on the water. Comfortable bed and quietude. The owner was great and we were able to use her dock for our sea kayaks. Perfect size for two people.
Charming location - beautiful water views and easy walk to scenic center of town. Great country roads and hiking trails to travel. Marion is the perfect host. Loved our visit!
Everything was perfect, the apartment was comfortable, clean and well appointed, the grounds were beautiful and the water views were so relaxing.The convenience of the location to the harbor and shops was great.The host was very gracious and welcoming, very informative about the area.Will definitely stay here again!
Very well kept apartment on basement level of a beautiful house that is right on the water. Our host, Marion, thoughtfully had fresh blueberry muffins, fresh cut flowers, and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we checked in. Easy walk to town (Boothbay Harbor).
It's our third year in a row at Three Schooners, and we're hoping to manage to get back again next year. We've really loved it, and we look forward to loving it again. This year we came with mobility issues, and really appreciated being able to park on ground level. There's a little bit of a sill, but no stairs. Great for us oldies. 's garden was, as always, beautiful and the vegetables she lets you harvest are delicious. We enjoy cooking - the kitchen has everything we need - and being able to sit outside to enjoy lunch or dinner overlooking the water. As we have before, we delighted in the Coastal Botanical Garden. This year for the first time we went out on the schooner East Wind and had a wonderful time, Thank you Marion.
We had a wonderful, relaxing 7 days by the water. Our host was delightful and very helpful in pointing out the best activities and places to visit in the area. Though most of our time was spent sitting on or kayaking off the dock behind her lovely property.
I can't say enough positive things about the property. Very clean, location is amazing, beautiful backyard. So close to town, we walked all the time. Easy entry to unit, very comfortable, had everything we needed. Amazing, gracious hostess! Definitely would stay again!
Our stay was awesome!! The view is absolutely beautiful. Just a short walk to all Boothbay has to offer. Marion is a great host, answered all our questions and took care of all our needs!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!
The pictures tell it all. The property is very nice, comfortable and clean. The owner has a big vegetable garden and we could help ourselves to fresh produce. The home is less than a 10 minute walk to the harbor. I highly recommend
Every word on VRBO about Three Schnoorers was the truth. We valued everything from Marion our host to the private parking. Don't hesitate to rent here. We left rested and energized, yet we explored from Freeport to Pemaquid to Rockland. Don't miss Moody's Diner!
Marion's place was superb… We sat out in the backyard on our two special chairs every morning with a cup of coffee to just enjoy the view… The place was clean safe and simply lovely… with all the VRBO's we've stayed at… In the United States and all over the world hers is by far theBEST equipped place we've ever stayed at!!! Even Kayaks, umbrellas, beach chairs… Anything you need it's there… And it's in a great location on the water and close to town. Boothbay we found very cool and very salty… Marion has a book of recommendations and they are all great!! if you're thinking about renting this place don't hesitate book it today… You will not be disappointed... loved our stay in Boothbay

thank you so much Lorna. You were such lovely guests. It was such a jooy to share my tiny little piece of paradise on earth with you.
We loved Marion's place so much last year that we didn't even think of going somewhere else this year. Once again it was a perfect place for the two of us. It's a cute apartment with everything we need. We love the view over her tidal cove, we love her fresh produce and friendliness, we love the peace and the beauty, we love being able to fix our own food when we don't eat out, we love the tour boat rides we take (including the surprise presence of humpback whales on a sunset cruise), and we love the Coastal Botanical Gardens. In short, we had a great time and hope you will also.
We had a lovely stay at Three Schooners. The location was top notch, out of the main drag enough that you're staying in a pleasant neighborhood, but an easy enough 10-minute walk to most of the harbor attractions. We popped back and forth between town and the apartment most days and blessed not dealing with parking. Marion was a lovely host, communicative but not intrusive and she had some great recommendations for the area that we took advantage of. Plus she keeps a beautiful yard and garden. The apartment itself was quite as advertised, well sized for a couple and entirely pleasant.
We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at the apartment, especially the availabilty of the 2 kayaks which we used every morning fir paddling around the bay. The apt was very comfortable and had everything we needed for cooking meals. The bed was super comfortable and we were very greatful for use of the washer and dryer. The hostess, Marion, was so friendly and accommodating. She gave us a welcome gift of fresh blueberry muffins, a bottle of wine and some Maine maple syrup, and let us take anything we wanted from her vegetable garden. We would definitely recommend this place to others!
We loved our week stay at this cute apt. It was just what we needed for exploring in our convertible in Maine. Marion welcomed us when we arrived. She had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the wine, flowers, blueberry muffins and maple syrup that she had on the coffee table.
We made breakfast's there and walked to Boothbay most evenings for dinner. Enjoyed the waterfront dining.
It was so relaxing sitting by the cove in Marion's backyard. It was a wonderful vacation and Marion was a terrific hostess!
Lovely accommodations. Full kitchen. Laundry facilities. Our only complaint was no air conditioning. Not that it was too hot, just musty and muggy. May I suggest a dehumidifier. Beautiful backyard and garden.
This property is within walking distance of the village of Boothbay Harbor. Beautiful waterfront outdoor space is welcoming and a relaxing spot to unwind with a good book. The raised bed garden was beautiful to look at and to sample from! The availability of kayaks was a plus and paddling the cove was a peaceful start to the days spent there. The apartment was clean and comfortable; the host thought of everything. The cut flowers and basket of goodies was a lovely touch and very welcoming. Out host was onsite and was a joy to chat with and provide recommendations for food and leisure activities in the area. A great experience that we hope to repeat in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in this perfect location in Boothbay Harbor. The beautiful apartment had everything we needed to feel right at home. Marion, our host, was gracious and full of recommendations for not only Boothbay Harbor, but also for other spots in Maine. The backyard leads right up to Mill’s Cove, which provided beautiful scenery as well as a place to kayak. Marion’s garden was also available to us to use- such a nice touch. The apartment was less than a 10 minute walk to the harbor where there were so many wonderful restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to return to this spot sometime soon. Thank you, Marion for being such a wonderful host!
Our stay at Three Schooners (there really are three wrecks in the Cove) was delightful. Host Marion not only was most welcoming when we arrived but continued so through our stay. The ground floor apartment is clean, very well fitted out and cozy. Walking just steps into the lovely garden to observe the tides and wild life on Mill Cove is a special and quiet treat. But you are also only 5-8 minutes walk to the center of Boothbay Harbor with all it has to offer. The delightful Maine Botanical Gardens are only 7 minutes' drive via rural roads and you have equally easy access to Southport Island a few minutes west and Ocean Point on the east. All in all, a 5 star hideaway!
Marion’s place is the perfect place to spend a relaxing vacation. We did a lot of exploring locally. Went to a few great restaurants and beaches. The best part was just being at the apartment. Sitting on the dock tanning, using the 2 kayaks provided to paddle around the cove or sitting in the yard enjoying the shade and the lovely breeze. Marion treats you like a friend. She makes sure you have everything you need. We mentioned we couldn’t find Maine blueberries and the next day she brought us some. If you’re planning a trip to Boothbay, you can’t go wrong with Three Schooners.
