The house was perfect for our family of eight. More than enough space and the outside areas made it even more comfortable for all of us. The house was well equipped for our needs. You couldn’t ask for a better location.

We're so glad to hear you had a great stay and that the home worked well for your group. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back in the future.
Clean, well equipped, and spacious. The home was walking distance to a beautiful town with lots to do. The Wifi was good and the rental process was streamlined and easy.
We had a fantastic week at the Porchside. The location was convenient to town but also tucked away with a nice yard and great covered porch. The house was well equipped. We look forward to another stay in the future.
Perfect Boothbay Vacation House for Friends & Family
Beautiful home that sits on a hill overlooking the harbor. Easy walk to town, 2 decks, incredibly well appointed and ready for relaxing, cooking, reading, napping...the decks catch the harbor breezes, there is ample off street parking, the kitchen has all the things needed for lots of cooking, the beds are comfortable and we enjoyed every minute!
This house was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends to see the botanical gardens lights aglow. Rooms were spacious and the set up was perfect for a gathering of a few couples and a baby. The living room was super cozy and great for socializing. We loved the little holiday decorations as well. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Glad you enjoyed the weekend! Thanks for staying with us.
We took a a four day vacation and stayed at the Porchside in Boothbay Harbor and had a great time. The home is very clean and the beds were so comfy. It was so nice to be in the Harbor and be close to everything. Communication with the manager/owner was so easy with very quick response. Not one negative thing about our stay.
Our stay here was fabulous from start to finish. The house is in a great location - just a few steps from the main part of town. We loved our morning jogs straight from the house, through downtown, and across the pedestrian bridge.
House has personality, and is tastefully decorated. Plenty of outdoor space, and plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place!

Thanks, Janna, glad you enjoyed the week at Porchside!
We came to Maine for a family wedding and stayed at Porchside. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers and this home was so accommodating for everyone in our party.
The home is so beautiful with its coastal charm and had everything we needed to entertain 2 toddlers during the rainy days.
The owner was so easy to communicate with, he answered all questions near immediately during our stay.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit and great bumping into you in the harbor! Thanks for staying with us.
Had a great end of summer experience with tropical storm Lee. Although many stores and restaurants closed on that Saturday on the store having this house was ideal. It was clean , spacious , had comforts of a home that we like that the storm didn’t bother us. The porch was a great asset to the property , The property manager, Matt was great and communicated with us on how we are doing or have any questions . We loved the location as it was close to everything in Booth Bay Harbor . Looking forward to returning in the future
Our stay at Porchside was great! The home was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean, and quality throughout. It had most of what we needed as well as thing’s unexpected such as a portable highchair, laundry detergent, and children’s toys. It rained most of our visit, so when the sun came out on checkout day, we were kindly allowed to keep our car parked in the driveway beyond checkout to enjoy a walk along the footbridge and around the town.
We would suggest a subfloor be installed between the main level and basement to decrease the minor smell of basement. The dehumidifiers were appreciated with the rainfall experienced. We would stay here again!

Glad you enjoyed your visit! It's unfortunately been a wet summer and things have definitely felt damp along the coast this year. Thanks for the feedback and we hope to see you back at Porchside in the future.
