About this property

Local Charm / Panoramic Harbor Views / Cozy Maine Cottage / 10 Min Walk Downtown

Quintessential Maine Harbor Cottage with local charm and plenty of cozy nooks to relax and unwind. The home is decorated in a very casual cottage style using the soft colors of sea glass. As you enter the bright colorful kitchen you are immediately relaxed by the warmth and comfort of the home. The kitchen is open to the dining room which seats 6. There is a den with flat screen TV and reading area with a complete wall of windows to enjoy the beautiful Maine sunshine. In this area, there is also a small game table to enjoy various board games or a checkers challenge. Sometimes we use this for an extra dining area if needed. The primary bedroom on this main floor (king with TV) has a full bath with Jacuzzi tub. There is an additional 1/2 bath downstairs in the laundry room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, two with a double bed and one with a full size bed, and a full bath in the hallway. There is also a den with a full sleeper sofa. The den/study with desk access to a large porch and excellent views of the Harbor. Enjoy the harbor views, a great book or evening drinks with your family and friends. Its also a great place to have an outdoor lobster picnic!!

The garden cottage has a small covered porch with a swing. Inside is a full bedroom (queen with TV), full bath(shower) and a small kitchenette. The cottage is ideal for a couple who want some quiet time away from the house.

The house has a beautifully landscaped yard. Enjoy the numerous flowers and shrubs with something in bloom at all times. Neighbors constantly stop to comment and admire the garden. There are even blueberry bushes on the side for you to pick from and eat!!

There are sidewalks all the way to town, so you can enjoy a nice walk around the harbor to shops, restaurants, churches or the footbridge which takes you across the harbor. Or if you prefer to ride, the free local trolley stops just across the street in Brown's parking lot making it even more accessible if you prefer to ride.

The perfect Family Getaway

This cozy Maine cottage was the perfect spot for our extended family to stay during the holiday weekend. The house is spacious and perfectly located. The coastal decor is well done and my daughter and fiance loved the guest house. We would love to rent again next year!!

Excellent spot in BBH

Our family spent a wonderful week in BBH in the Seaglass House. It's classic Maine house full of character with almost every comfort available. We hade 4 adults and 5 children under 5 years old in the main house and Grandma and Grandpa tucked away in the back guest house. The location was great, whether walking to town or using the trolley, a short walk down the street. Preston communication was excellent. Whenever I asked him a question, he answered back quickly. Check-in and check-out was easy and fast. It was an unusually hot week, so be aware only a few rooms have AC, but we dealt with it and had the best time with family at Seaglass. We would come back!

The house was a bit shabby and in need of a deep cleaning

The sheets were very stained and the towels were stained and old. The homeowner sent clean new towels but they were very cheap, and not washed. It was the only time i had a bad experience. We left two days early.

Everything You Could Want in a Home Away From Home

This home was the perfect vacation get away for our extended family. It was exactly as described, and by far, the best VRBO experience we ever had. The home itself it beautiful, and decorated impeccably. There is an incredibly well-equipped kitchen, a covered porch (perfect for the rainy day we had), a second floor deck with a view of the harbor, books and games galore and a large paved parking area (we had ample room for 4 cars). The icing on the cake is the one-bedroom cottage that gave my parents their own space when they wanted a break from the grandchildren. The walk to the footbridge into BBH is pleasant and easy, eliminating the need to find parking while sight seeing down town. Communication with the hosts was easy - we were kept informed of planned work on the property and given clear instructions on checking in. I simply can't say enough good things about this house. We will absolutely stay here again, on our next trip to the area.

Perfect Maine coast vacation

The house and cottage were both cozy and spacious. All in all a very comfortable place with everything we needed to enjoy our time together. There was enough space to have some alone time if anyone wanted to, while the entire home lends itself to being together in a real Maine coastal house. The outside of the house needs some attention, but the inside was well appointed, comfortable and spacious. All of the beds were very comfortable and the outside deck upstairs was large enough to accommodate our entire group for coffee or cocktails. We loved Sea Glass House and miss it already!

Perfect location for access to Boothbay Harbor

If you are looking for a house with easy access to all that Boothbay has to offer, this is the one. It is short walk over the footbridge to restaurants, shops and boat cruise options. The house itself is very charming, sweet and nicely furnished. We had a wonderful time!

Great Location

Perfect location to town. Lots of room for family of 9 . Cottage on property has air conditioning. Needs lots of renovating . Have stayed 3 times at the Sea Glass (2015,2019,2022). Dishwasher was broken -making meal clean up for 9 people an extra hassle . No air conditioning . Upstairs gets extremely hot.Windows have screens, but half the windows don’t open. Ice maker dispenser broke mid week.TV in cottage for older parents who were staying there didn’t work. Needs painted. Again, great location to harbor. Trolly for town picks up across the street at Browns.

Quintessential Maine coastal home

A beautiful, old Maine harbor home. Very tastefully decorated with all the amenities and comfortable, airy rooms. Well equipped kitchen. Had a little trouble with wifi at check-in and on first day, but seemed ok after that. Ample parking. Great location in Bootbay Harbor. Far enough from center to be quiet and but close enought that you can walk everywhere. Got a brisk half mile walk in for our ice cream in the evening so the calories didn't even count!

Charmer

ThIs house is charming, nicely decorated, well maintained and in a great location. We enjoyed walking to town, it was a scenic, easy walk (even for grandma). It took about 15 to 20 mins. Plenty of space inside the house, multiple common areas. The sun room was where we spent a lot of time in the evening playing games or just hanging out. Our stay was during a particularly hot spell, there are plenty of fans around but a/c would have been welcomed (only in master right now). Truly enjoyed the blueberries, picked some everyday...yum. Oh and the cottage was perfect. Grandma was able to have her own space (bedroom, bathroom and kitchen area) and freedom. Finally, while it may not be a modern home, the owners have taken great care to offer a clean, beautiful home for a vacation.

Shabby chic - needs some basic maintenance

While this is a fairly spacious and walkable into town, this house was definitely overpriced and had some pretty basic maintenance issues. It could be a charming house - it is more than 100 years old and has history and artifacts from the Original owners’ time running it as a boarding house. It could be airy and charming as they did a nice job with overall decorations for the most part. At the same time, there Is too much stuff everywhere, too much furniture and kitschy Impractical stuff, everywhere that make an otherwise roomy house crowded and not functional. And the biggest issues were the poor maintenance on some basic things that have nothing to do with the the house being old, eg the toilet stopper was gone and the flush handle was a cord with a cork, three dining room chairs were broken or breaking, there were exposed nails on the wooden floors inside and out (someone even tried to put some tape to cover a couple up), lights didn’t work, mold exposed etc. We were determined to have a good time in the end, but when we informed the absentee owner as a courtesy, we got a lot of defensiveness and negativity. Would hope they spend some time and resources to manage the basics and lower the price on this house. There are plenty of other options and neighborhoods to choose from. This house has no real view because it is blocked by apartment buildings, though it is walkable to town. The extra cottage was nice. If we were ever to come back to Boothbay we would choose East Boothbay or Ocean Point instead for the price we paid. This rental was not worth the price paid..

Delightful Stay

Conveniently located by a short walk to downtown walk to Boothbay Harbor, the location was ideal. Quiet and beautiful. The furnishings and soft blue and green color scheme were a perfect expression of Coastal Maine. The cookware was plentiful and high quality which was perfect for one in our party who is a chef. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Fall Retreat

This was such a perfect place for a Girls Weekend. We went Columbus weekend and everyone loved Boothbay Harbor, a few in our party had never been there before. We were close to all the great shops and delicious restaurants and we had all the seafood we could want. The home was so pretty and there was plenty of room for everyone. We really enjoyed our short stay and wished we could stay longer. A few highlights was the lobster haul boat tour and Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. The shopping in town was wonderful, some in our group could have stayed there the whole time, it seemed like! Great end-of-season sales. If we go back to Boothbay again, we would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!
