Great Place to stay. Good location.

We loved staying at this cozy cottage. Sitting on the screened porch with a morning coffee was a perfect way to start the day. Morning walks along the shore and in the and evenings were so lovely. It is a perfect location for exploring Boothbay, Wiscasset, Rockland, Camden, Damariscotta and Pemaquid Point which we did during our stay. I hope to come back again in the future.

Ocean Point Cottage

This was a great cottage on Ocean Point! The location was perfect, decor was cute, and it had everything you could need. One of my favorite spots was on the screened in porch listening to the waves. Enjoyed the sunsets as well! Hope to return in the future!

An unexpected jewel on the coast of Maine

Very comfortable (although a bit chilly in the morning as we did not use the gas heated through the nightime). Nothing was missing, very well furnished. This part of Maine was unknown to us and we have been very pleased to discover it. What a beautiful spot! Thanks for everything!

Special place at Ocean Point

Ship’s Wheel is an amazing cottage with a wonderful view of the water at Ocean Point. It is a lovely, and well-appointed with wonderful linens and a very comfortable bed. The screened-in porch was a wonderful place to sit and visit with family. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at Ship’s Wheel and we will definitely return!!

Beautiful!

This was one of the most relaxing stays we have had anywhere. The cottage has a lovely view of the ocean. The front porch is screened in with a cute sitting area. We had everything we needed (pots, pans, gas grill, etc.) to cook. The reference binder left by the host was very informative with many tips on dining, shopping, beaches, points of interest, etc. Our two children loved the proximity to the ocean and the chance to look for seashells. The beds were clean and comfortable and the coastal decor was adorable. Check-in and check-out couldn’t have been easier. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Great Stay at Boothbay

My wife and I stayed at the lovely "Ship's Wheel" cottage on Ocean Point in East Boothbay. It is a very comfortable, cozy home. The host made everything easy for us. The location can't be beat! Beautiful area to walk and gaze out on Booth Bay. We enjoyed the stroll in the evening to take in the sunset. The town of Boothbay is a great place to shop.

Loved our stay at this home

We stayed here for a week to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. We were overwhelmingly pleased with this property. The house had everything we needed and was a great way to rest and celebrate. The view from the front porch was breathtaking. The area the property is in was unbelievable scenic and we enjoyed every moment. The owners were there to answer every question we had and provide local info whenever we needed it. If we could, we would return there as often as possible. We strongly recommend and encourage you to stay at this house. you won’t be sorry!!!

Wonderful Cottage by the Ocean

Sweet, comfortable, clean cottage on the ocean with spectacular views, a cozy fireplace, effective gas heater, really comfortable beds and the wind and rolling waves. Pure vacation. Utter relaxation. Owners live next door and were so helpful. We loved our stay.

Perfect cottage in perfect place

Ocean point is one of my favorite places on earth, and this charming cottage is a real gem. Old fashion beach cottage with all the modern amenities. Cozy and warm on a cool fall day with a wonderful screened in porch for reading or writing. Totally private and quiet, but close to everything you could want or need. I’ll be back next year.
