About this property

Magical, Private Waterfront Retreat with Dock

SeaGlass Cottage sits right on the edge of Linekin Bay — a truly magical retreat surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Enjoy panoramic water views from throughout the cottage, spectacular sunsets, and a massive 200-foot deep-water dock complete with a large sundeck and rocky tidal area. Bring your kayak or paddleboard and make the most of direct water access. You may even find some treasures along the shore like buoys and shells — though despite the name, seaglass is one thing you won't find here!



This is a perfect, private Maine escape.



—



A note on access: Guests park near the owner's home and walk down an unpaved path of about 85 yards to the cottage below. The owner's people-friendly little dog, Linnie, may pop out to say hello along the way. (note: Linnie doesn't like other dogs so there are no exceptions to the no pets allowed rule) The cottage itself is completely private — the two properties are not visible to each other. The owner does keep her boat at the dock, but she considers the entire waterfront area your private space and will only pass through on rare occasions to access it.



Also, the bedroom is accessed by a spiral staircase and the bathroom is on the main level. There are vaulted ceilings and low ceiling heights in a few spots like the shower and screened-in porch. People over 6’2” may feel a little cramped.



Also, it is a seasonal cottage and is not fully insulated. Although there is a heat pump/AC unit, it is not climate-controlled.



Please note that all guests are required to sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking.

Just as magical the fourth stay as it was the first.

SeaGlass Cottage is one of my favorite places on earth. It feels like a fairy tale house. The owner Kelly Robbins always has everything looking brand new. I’m sure it’s not for everyone. The cottage is small and there is a fairly steep hill to negotiate, but the hill is what insures the privacy. Nothing I can say would reflect my feelings for Sea Glass cottage other than true love. Looking forward to next year.

Amazing Secluded Cottage

This cottage is absolutely amazing. Everything noted in the other reviews is true, there is a steep slope down and it has low headroom clearance in the bathroom. Those are facts, not negatives at least for us. We had a great time out exploring at low tide and the patio/dock is an awesome place to sit and enjoy the views. The cottage is beautifully appointed and was very clean. We loved our stay and can’t wait to chill on our next vacation here in Maine. Pam and Kelly were a breeze to deal with. So secluded you couldn’t even see a neighbor unless you went out to the end of the dock.

Thank you so much for your kind review, we’re so glad you loved the cottage! The walk down the slope would be difficult to do in heels or for someone with limited mobility, but we hope you agree that it is a small price to pay for such a unique and secluded vacation spot. (We attached some pictures and a video of the access in the listing so everyone can see for themselves) It was our pleasure hosting you, and we would love to have you come stay with us again!

Breathtaking

We absolutely loved “Sea Glass!” It is a quaint cottage, perched on the edge of Linekin Bay, and built right into the rocks…affording a breathtaking, panoramic view of the bay. The setting was private and calming, and we spent much of our time there relaxing out on the deck. The house itself provides views from indoors, as well as out and was well-stocked with all you could need. The upstairs bed was comfortable, and luxuriously decked out with crisp white down pillows, comforter and duvet. It was my favorite space in the house with a beautiful view of the water! Finally, East Boothbay is truly one of my favorite places in Maine. It is a sleepy hamlet that runs along the bay, with stunning views wherever you turn. We hope to return!

Peaceful Retreat

My husband and I spent 6 days at Sea Glass. The cottage is tucked away in a beautiful spot with amazing views from every vantage point. Tastefully decorated with colors that immediately quiet the mind and invite relaxation, the furniture is very comfortable and there is quite a bit of space to move around and find a quiet nook to read or reflect. The outdoor spaces are equally inviting and the beauty of the ocean and its wildlife make this a magical place. Pam and Kelly made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a great stay. We didn’t want to leave and look forward to returning very soon.

Dreamy cottage on the bay

Fantastic stay at Seaglass Cottage! We loved the quaint nature of the cottage - perfect for our family of 4 (8 and 10 year old kids). Not great for young children, but perfect for our family - a cute loft bed and access to the water right out the door. We loved the screen porch! Perfect for active family or couple who like SUP and kayaking. So many great local hikes and botanical gardens were a huge hit! Boothbay is extremely charming. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Peaceful Paradise

Of all the trips we've made to Maine, our stay at SeaGlass Cottage is our favorite by far. The cottage is so clean, cozy, and comfortable. Kelly and Pam were so responsive and friendly. They made everything so easy. The location...wow. Such a stunning and serene setting. The most gorgeous sunsets we've ever seen were enjoyed sitting on the amazing dock. We loved the cottage and the setting so much that we opted to dine in every night. The kitchen provided everything we needed & Pinkham's Gourmet Market is the place to get fresh lobster, mussels, fish, steak, etc. We would book another stay at SeaGlass in a heartbeat.

Absolutely perfect in every way!

My husband and I spent the month of August in Seaglass Cottage and everything about our experience was perfection. The cottage sits on a beautiful scenic bay, with a small island just a short distance away. We enjoyed watching the bald eagles, seals and dolphins from our deck, paddleboards and kayaks. This might be the best view in all of Boothbay! We were welcomed with cold champagne in the fridge and, although there are many great restaurants nearby, found that dining on our porch at sunset was magnificent.

Beautiful Cottage!

Me and my girlfriend had an incredible (too short) stay at Sea Glass Cottage. It is really picturesque - just a lovely place to unwind. Kelly was great and was so attentive. We were the last guests of the season because it gets so cold this time of year but we had no problem with staying warm in the cabin. Kelly was so sweet and def checked in to make sure we were ok. I want to come back in the summer for sure! Def recommend a stay here!

Heaven on Earth!

From arrival to departure this was a vacation extraordinaire! Pam set the stage with excellent responsiveness to all of our questions. She “handed off” our care to Kelly (on site owner) as we started our trip to this phenomenal piece of the Maine coast. Kelly greeted us and took care of everything! She had seen to it that everything we needed was available upon our arrival. I couldn’t even think of something that we might need that wasn’t available. No detail was overlooked. If cleanliness, comfort, convenience and caring are what you look for in your travels then SeaGlass Cottage/Chill Vacations/VRBO is the place for you. The outdoor and indoor amenities were amazing and being just slightly removed from downtown Boothbay Harbor allowed us the seclusion and access which we loved! SeaGlass is on the edge of Linekin Bay - calm waters which we enjoyed boating in. We rented a boat from South West Recreation in Boothbay and Kelly provided us with safe docking all week for free! Suffice it to say that we would rank SeaGlass Cottage as #1 of over 100 vacation destinations we have traveled to. Come, chill, enjoy, recharge and wish that you never had to leave....we did!

Hidden Hideaway

This place was simply unbelievable. We had an absolute blast. The property was situated on a quiet little cove in one of the most beautiful bays in Maine. The host had everything you could want/need and the place was immaculate. Could not recommend this place more. (Just not during the week we plan to return. ;-) Enjoy!!

Absolutely delightful cottage on the ocean

Seaglass Cottage was a lovely place to stay. It is RIGHT on the ocean, with fantastic views of the water from every room. The cottage is as cute as one can be, like a little jewel box. The place was very clean, and really well stocked. We usually bring some kitchen tools, supplies & spices with us, because we love to cook. There was no need to bring anything extra! We were so pleased that the yard, dock and chairs were all for us, and it was very private. We got many hours of pleasure watching the wildlife at low tide and on Perch Island. Kayaking off the path was so easy at any tide level. And the dock is fantastic - really well built and maintained. We would recommend the cottage to anyone. Some reviewers noted that the bathroom was too small. Personally, I loved all the idiosyncrasies, and thought the scale was completely charming. We do not look for luxury when we vacation, but we do look for high quality and an experience that takes us away from our workaday lives. This cottage rental was perfect for that! Thanks to the owner for her warm welcome and attentiveness.

A beautiful cottage on the water in a wonderful central location. Had everything you could want.

This is a beautiful cottage right on the water with an awesome dock for coffee, reading, cocktails and fun. The cottage is well equipped for everything. It can be a quiet get away, family fun or a great girls retreat. The towels and linens are first class. Bed we slept in was awesome.

From dawn to dusk, a great location to spend one’s vacation. We loved the cottage with its many windows and great views of the bay. Sunsets were a special treat. The location was close to all the places that make mid coast Maine a great place to visit. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Kelly was very helpful with anything we needed.

Quaint Cottage - Beautiful Views!

Pros: We very much enjoyed our week at SeaGlass Cottage. The cottage has beautiful views, gorgeous sunsets and is appointed with pretty much everything you need, and more than I expected. The kitchen is well equipped dish soap, paper towels, dish towels, plates, bowls, cups, drinking glasses, cutting knives, chip clips, pots and pans. Never once did I say I wish I had xxx when it came to preparing a meal. They welcomed us with a nice bottle of Prosecco and there was coffee and filters so that we could at least get a cup of coffee in us before we headed out for groceries. Other items of need were also thoughtfully considered (beach towels, bug spray, binoculars, books, games, area sightseeing info...). Nice seating inside and out, for the space. It is nicely decorated and every space is efficiently used. Cons: The size of the cottage was fine for the 2 of us. I'm used to larger living spaces, so more people would have been too much for me, unless they were a couple of small children. The bathroom is tiny. It was my least favorite part of this cottage. The other thing you need to keep in mind is that the cabin is not insulated. That was fine for the time of year we visited, but I can only imagine that on really hot or really cold days, it could be challenging to heat or cool. There is a heat/cool wall unit that had a thermostat upstairs. On cooler mornings we used the stand alone heaters downstairs to knock the off the chill, which worked well for the temps we encountered. Overall, we have fond memories of our visit to SeaGlass Cottage. If you want accessibility to water sports and beautiful views, this is the place!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I’m so glad that you enjoyed the cottage and the exceptional views! We try very hard to make our cottage beautiful and comfortable and to provide you with everything you might need while on vacation... thank you for noticing! The bathroom is indeed very small and I would agree that it is the least desireable part of the cottage.... although it does have a rather large 48” wide shower. You are also correct that there is no insulation, but there are double walls and we do have a Mitsubishi mini-split heating and cooling system. Because it sits up high, it is challenging to get the heat down to the lower level, so we provide additional heaters to supplement it. It does, however, do an excellent job of keeping the cottage very cool in the summer. The system also has a dehumidifier which keeps the cottage dryer than most that are situated on the edge of the water, like this one. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Thanks again and I hope you consider staying with us again in the future. Warmly, Pam

Great location with a million dollar view. Very private, comfortable cottage

We felt at home and relaxed within 10 minute of our arrival. Bald eagles, osprey, ducks, gulls, kingfisher, heron, schools of fish and seals right in front of us. A beautiful deck and dock on the water to enjoy reading, swimming or fishing with cool breezes. Each day had a beautiful sunset that we enjoyed sometimes while cooking our local lobster and seafood. Great restaurants within easy commute and our walks at ocean point just down the road were amazing. Kelly and Pam were great hosts.

I decided to move to Boothbay when I found this cottage. I was blown away by the setting, the views and the unique style and character of the property. It had just been renovated by a designer and I fell in love with it and the area.
