About this property

Porchside - Walk to Everything in Boothbay Harbor!

Nestled at the heart of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, Porchside is a charming coastal residence that seamlessly blends turn-of-the-century charm with modern amenities. This upscale home offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of in-town living while maintaining a tranquil, private ambiance.

Situated just a short stroll from the bustling harbor attractions, including restaurants, shops, and delightful ice cream parlors, Porchside serves as an ideal retreat for exploring the enchanting mid-coast region of Maine. With Wiscasset a mere 13 miles away and Damariscotta just 16 miles away, the location offers easy access to neighboring towns.

Regardless of the season, Porchside provides a plethora of activities for all preferences. Whether you prefer high-energy adventures or simply unwinding amidst the scenic coastal vistas, there's something here for everyone.

As for the house itself, Porchside derives its name from its expansive covered porch and spacious second-floor deck, both perfect spots for savoring the sea breeze and harbor views. The interior exudes a fresh coastal ambiance, featuring a generously sized and uncluttered layout designed to ensure a comfortable and functional vacation experience. Additionally, the ample yard provides space for outdoor games and leisure activities, complemented by several outdoor tables for al fresco dining. Parking is available for up to four vehicles.

Inside, the fully equipped kitchen boasts a center island and gas range, seamlessly connecting to the dining room furnished with a large table ideal for shared meals or family games. The bright and inviting living room offers a cozy retreat, complete with comfortable seating arrangements (the fireplace is decorative only). A convenient 3/4 bathroom with a shower is located off the central hallway, while modern amenities such as a smart TV with reliable broadband WiFi and a full-sized laundry in the basement ensure convenience.

Upstairs, four charming bedrooms await, each appointed with comfortable beds. A full bathroom with a tub/shower serves the second floor, with three bedrooms featuring queen beds and the fourth equipped with bunk beds. The primary bedroom, accessible via a hallway doubling as an office space, also offers access to the second-floor deck.

A great weekend away for gardens aglow
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.

Boothbay gem with personality
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!

End of summer
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

Top Notch
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!
