The sunroom is a unique space with screens to let the ocean breeze in and ceiling shades if the sun gets too hot. The back deck has a picnic table and gas grill for outdoor barbecuing. You will also find an outdoor shower and a dock overlooking the tidal waterfront. The dock space can be a great spot for enjoying the sun or late afternoon cocktails. The house features one floor living with an open kitchen/dining area, a separate living room, 3 bedrooms, and one full bath. Guests have access to the basement and laundry.

Walk across the footbridge and you are in the center of Boothbay Harbor. Less than a mile away and only a 2-minute drive is Barrett Park. It offers plenty of green space and little beaches, walking trails, and picnic spots.

Check out the Boothbay Lobster Wharf only 1/2 mile away where you call and order your cooked lobsters or pick them up live to take back home with you.

Boothbay Harbor is known as the boating capital of Maine, and was named as one of Yachting Magazine's '50 Best Towns'. Boasted as "the soul of the coast," our picturesque harbor offers guests all the amenities of a bustling waterfront. The area's rocky coastline speckled with lighthouses, coves, inlets, and islands make it a memorable vacation destination. We are home to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, rated #1 in the country by Trip Advisor, and the newly renovated golf course at the Boothbay Harbor Country Club. From your East Side Cove vacation retreat, you can walk across the footbridge to the center of town and check out the shops or take a boat tour to Burnt Island, go whale watching, or take a sail.

This property books Friday to Friday and a minimum of 7 nights always.

Guests have access to the entire home and yard with the exception of one closet.

We are available 24/7 during your stay. Upon arrival, Wendy or Judy will meet you at the house to transfer keys and answer any questions you may have.

East Side Cove is within walking distance of several endearing restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also conveniently located next to a scenic footbridge that takes you across the harbor to the center of Boothbay Harbor where you can enjoy boutiques, boat excursions, more restaurants, ice cream, and saltwater taffy.

East Side Cove offers plenty of parking and the footbridge allows for you to avoid the hassle of finding a parking space in town. There is also a free trolley on the west side of the harbor that takes you around town.
