About this property
Expansive Modern Home w/ Ocean View, Gorgeous Garden & Dog-friendly
Spread out between multiple sitting areas, a spacious kitchen, and three floors at this expansive 4BR/3.5BA East Boothbay home.
Outdoors, a sprawling deck, gazebo, and gorgeous garden offers an outdoor haven for dining and sunny-day relaxation. The third floor also has a widow's walk offering a view towards the ocean.
Drive 10 minutes to Boothbay Harbor, the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or 15 minutes to the Boothbay Harbor Country Club. You're also under a 10-minute stroll to the acclaimed Carriage House Restaurant, offering a modern menu of New England-inspired dishes.
ABOUT THE HOUSE
There's a fresh coastal feel throughout this stylish home, offering a relaxing home base after a day of outdoor fun.
Curl up on the sectional sofa or cushioned chairs in the main sitting area. Opposite, a bookshelf contains an entertainment center with a 48' flat screen TV.
Steps away, chairs and couches furnish two additional sitting areas — perfect for group chit-chat and planning day trips.
The chef in your group will love the large and contemporary kitchen, complete with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is a great social space too, with a central island seating three.
Share sit-down meals around the eight-person dining table.
A sprawling deck overlooking the garden boasts cushioned chairs and a six-person dining table for al fresco meals. A wooden walkway leads to a gazebo, where another dining table seats four. There's also a gas grill for afternoon barbecues.
The home is spread across three floors, with total sleeping space for 12 guests.
On the entry-level, the master suite features two queen beds and ample storage space. Guests here have their own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Upstairs, garden views and a glimpse of the ocean await in a second bedroom featuring a king bed, two comfy chairs, and a private deck with a table seating two. An en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower.
A third bedroom offers the same impressive views, a plush queen bed, and a chaise lounge.
The kid-friendly fourth bedroom comes with two twin-over-twin bunk beds.
On the top floor, a bonus living/sleeping area offers the best ocean views in the house. A daybed (with a trundle beneath) and two sitting chairs furnish this tucked-away space.

Great midcoast Maine location about an hour from both Freeport and Camden. Had a wonderful stay with our two sons and their wives. Layout was perfect for us, with cozy seating areas in shared open space and bed/bath privacy for each couple. Kitchen was well stocked and big enough for prepping meals together. House is in a private, quiet, natural setting yet is still just minutes away from grocery, dining, shopping, and sightseeing options. Glad we stayed here!

Lovely Maine Retreat
Well suited for a group trip, but I dont recommend the bunk beds for adults. Otherwise a lovely home base for a weekend away.

The location of the house was perfect. Peaceful with nice backyard deck. The house needs a good, thorough cleaning. There was clutter throughout the house, the kitchen poorly organized with random items put where ever there was space.

Property is lovely with gorgeous yard and gardens. We were there with another couple. One couple stayed upstairs and we stayed downstairs with our own bathroom. Property is lovely and would be perfect for a large group. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to find.

Great house
Place is large beautiful and well spaced out bedrooms for privacy. Would highly recommend!
Kitchen pots and pans could use an upgrade. In the cupboards could be better organized.The dishwasher was not working during our stay so that has unfortunately colored my review of this property

Great place to stay
The location was lovely and the house was especially great for a big group and people who like to cook most of their meals. Definitely one of the better kitchens of the various rental homes I’ve stayed in. Vacasa was very prompt and hospitable meeting any our requests or needs. A great experience overall.

East Boothbay Gardens
East Boothbay Gardens is a lovely home with a great layout. The landscaping is quite nice and the view from the back and deck is gorgeous. The home provided a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Great effort has been put into the decor of the home.
Clean, comfortable, spacious, well furnished, easy to be in.
Some windows did not open due to broken open-close fixtures.

We passed your comments along to our local manager to review and we appreciate guests’ preferences as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
We stayed in May of 2022 and the house was clean and as described. We were a group of 10 ladies and there was plenty of room for all of us, and the living room area had plenty of room for us all to curl up and watch a movie (a lot of houses don't have living rooms that can accommodate that many people comfortably). Would definately stay here again!!

We were in town for a wedding so did not get to spend a ton of time at the property which is a shame. The home has many areas to enjoy your morning coffee or beverage at night. Stunning back yard and ocean views on top floors. Will definitely consider for future trips. Communication was great we really did not need any intervention.

Great view, quiet property, well-appointed
We stayed as part of an extended family trip (six adults plus an infant), and had a great visit. The house is well-appointed on a really quiet property. We like to cook when traveling, and really enjoyed the kitchen. Plenty of room to spread out across families, including the huge deck space. The view of the ocean from the third floor is under-represented from the photos online; we were pleasantly surprised by the ocean vista. Access to Boothbay is easy, and we enjoyed hiking to the coast at the nearby Linekin Preserve. The DVD and book collection at the house is great. A perfect match for the trip we were looking for.

This is the second time I have rented this house. It is beautiful, clean and spacious for my family and you will want for nothing. My only heartache with this place is the price goes up a thousand or more every year- I really wanted to book again for 2025 but its out of my reach.

We were celebrating my sister getting married soon. Overall it was a great experience and a comfortable space for us all to enjoy. Not too far from downtown Boothbay Harbor while also having privacy. Check in was delayed by an hour due to the property still being cleaned from the previous guests and the trash outside was overflowing. Other than that, which wasn’t super impactful just some mild inconveniences, it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone with a larger group.

This is a lovely home for bigger families and nature lovers who want peace and quiet, but also want to access all the activities too. Property is basically adjacent to the Linekin/Burley Preserve, and you can access the trail system from the end of the road. At night, there’s very little light pollution, so stargazing from the back deck is wonderful. And the house is incredibly quiet, both inside and out. Boothbay Harbor is a relatively quick and easy drive, where you can do all the touristy things. We enjoyed a sunset sail and lots of good shopping. We also enjoyed Ocean Point (do not miss the walk!) and the little beach there. And definitely don’t miss dinner at The Carriage House. Hands down the best meal of the week.The kitchen is well-equipped, albeit organized by a raccoon. Had everything we needed to cook some great meals. The only downside was dealing with Vacasa, who has sucked the soul out of VRBO. Communication is either slow or unresponsive. Bottom line - the house is great, but don’t expect much in the way of service or support.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback about your stay. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the proximity to the Linekin/Burley Preserve, and the wonderful stargazing from the back deck. It sounds like you made the most of the local attractions, including Boothbay Harbor and Ocean Point, and had some memorable meals. We truly appreciate your kind words about the home itself and are glad the kitchen had everything you needed for your cooking adventures.
That said, we are very sorry to hear that your experience with our communication and support did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide timely and helpful assistance to all our guests, and we apologize for any frustration caused. Thank you again for choosing Vacasa, and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
Beautiful house beautiful location. However there are multiple things in the house that need repair and would greatly improve the experience:no deadbolt on entry door. Windows that won't open, table leg broken, broken dining chair, Brok en kitchen faucet, broken cabinet door, broken chaise, and more.
