Incredible Maine home with ocean views, walk to Boothbay Harbor

The Historic Harrington House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This lovely and charming three-bedroom Boothbay Harbor vacation rental is perched on a hilltop overlooking the harbor below, with some ocean and lighthouse views.

The Historic Harrington House is just one block from Boothbay Harbor shops, restaurants, art galleries, and the stunning Atlantic Ocean. You'll be just over 16 miles away from the nearby community of Damariscotta and about 13 miles from Wiscasset.

Out front, you'll find a large stone patio complete with comfortable lounge furniture, the perfect place to enjoy the cool ocean breeze with a cup of coffee or a summer cocktail. The front yard is perfect for lawn games. Head inside to discover a classic New England getaway with lots of natural light cascading in through numerous windows. The spacious living room boasts cool gray tones, comfortable furniture, and burnished hardwood floors. You can easily settle in for some lively conversation after a day of sightseeing around town.

Admire the whale artwork as you head into the full kitchen that includes stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and all the cookware and utensils to satisfy the chef in you. The lovely dining room offers a built-in hutch filled with barware and glasses for your custom summer cocktails, and a perfect setting for an impromptu seafood feast with friends at the six-seat wooden dining room table. On the back deck, you'll find outdoor seating and a gas and charcoal grill for those lazy evening barbecues while you take in the fresh ocean air.

At the back of the house, you'll find a large family room with an oversized striped sectional sofa, hardwood floors, and a 55" Smart TV. The large picture window looks out onto the back deck. For entertainment, you will find a movie library for those fun movie nights with lots of hot buttered popcorn. This home also includes WiFi so you can easily check emails or use your laptop to stream movies online. There is also a full bath and laundry on the main level.

Head upstairs to check out the three bedrooms and one full bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a queen bed enveloped in a printed blue-and-white coverlet, a white armchair, and light blue walls. A second bedroom with a nautical theme features two twin beds, perfect for kids or easily pushed together for a couple. There is also a loft for hours of fun. The third bedroom is perfect for a young family as it has one queen bed and a daybed with pull-out trundle (two twins), two built-in dressers, and a desk for those who want to spend some time working or writing. Additional amenities include window air conditioning in every room, games, books, an Atari gaming system, and an outdoor fire pit for telling ghost stories and making after-dinner S'mores.

Boothbay Harbor is the preeminent destination in the Boothbay Region. You'll find cozy seaside eateries, lovely mom-and-pop shops, a saltwater taffy factory, a local brewery, antiques, and lots of galleries on a quick walk down the hill. Stroll through the streets and admire the local works, walk across the harbor on the footbridge or head out on a whaling tour or fishing expedition via one of the many charters in the area. The Boothbay Region Land Trust (BRLT) offers plenty of hiking trails for all levels, several are a walk from the home. There is a working Lighthouse tour, a llama farm, an aquarium, and a world-renowned botanical garden all just a 5-10 minute drive from the home.

Great location good for families

Overall the stay was good. The property manager responded quickly to issues (lock not working, kitchen trash not taken out). The layout is a bit odd as you need to walk through the bathroom to get to one of the bedrooms, but overall we made it work and it was comfortable for all of us (two families) to cohabitate. The yard and location are both stellar!

Lovely property and house!

We really enjoyed our time in this home, it is a home more than just a house. There is plenty of room for everyone, a well appointed kitchen with plenty of kitchen appliances. The room has a lovely breeze coming in from the bay and everything was clean! Even the windows, clean windows are a sign of a clean house. I would stay there again in a minute. We went for the clambake on Cabbage Island and that was a real treat, the shops in Boothbay Harbor are quite fun also.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was lovely, very accommodating, all linens were clean. The house is perfect for a girls weekend or a family stay! There were a few things that could have been dusted a little bit better, some cobwebs and spiders in places but nothing crazy.

Great house, great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Harrington House was perfect for our family's vacation to the Boothbay area. The house was very clean, spacious, and inviting with local decor. We had a couple of questions regarding our stay and the Turnkey team was very responsive. We visited several surrounding towns during our stay and decided that Boothbay Harbor was the place to be, with plenty of shops and restaurants. So glad we chose this house! Although the house is not far from town, we did not walk because we had small children with us and the steep incline on the way back made walking too much of a challenge for us. However, it was easy to drive down the hill, find a parking spot, and walk throughout the town from there. As others have noted, the bathrooms are an unusual set up but it worked out fine for our party of six... 4 adults and 2 children. We would definitely return to the Harrington House!

Cute House!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We traveled with another couple and the house more than met our needs. Yes, the bathroom upstairs is a bit quirky (you go through it to get to the master bedroom and it only had a tub, no shower) but we didn't find it to be a problem and were aware of it through other reviews before we rented. The kitchen space is huge and very well equipped. There are two living areas (one we enjoyed for morning coffees and the other for evenings and television) The location was close enough that we could walk down the hill each day to the main area of town. The ocean view wasn't as expansive as we might of wanted but we didn't stay around the house long enough for it to be an issue. We were too busy exploring everything that Boothbay Harbor had to offer!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic girls weekend away. There was lots of space for all 4 of us to relax, kick back and enjoy some time together. We loved sitting out on the front patio in the sun and walking to town in the morning to poke around shops. The house was SO CLEAN! And there were so many sweet little touches from the cleaners too. It made us all feel at ease and comfortable knowing how well this home is cared for.

Maine family weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in Bay Harbor! The house is perfectly located close to town and within short driving distance of several parks and preserves. The yard was spacious for the kids to run around and fire pit fun for s'mores making. Beds could have been more comfortable, but overall experience was positive.

Perfect Cute Home for a Great Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay very much. House was a 5 min. short walk to the quaint center of Boothbay Harbor and you could easily reserve a cruise as the ticketing and boats were right in the village. Home was very spacious with two queen beds in one room with very large bathroom and a queen in another room with a third twin bedroom. Lovely backyard with deck and a barbecue which we used one night. The only suggestion I have is perhaps there should be 5 more dinner plates and a few more salad plates so we could the run a full dishwasher load instead of a partial load after using all the dinner plates. Also a few plastic unbreakable cups for children would be good. Nice house and very, very clean and we would happily reserve again. Susan Martin

Cozy house near the bay

We enjoyed our stay in this tastefully decorated New England home near the bay. Everything was clean, tidy, and appealing upon arrival. We used every bed space on the second floor (8 guests plus a baby in a travel crib) and there is only one somewhat dated bathroom upstairs but we made it work. There is a second bath with a shower on the main level. Also, plenty of lovely social space on the main level. Nice close-to-town location.

We had a wonderful time. The location was great and we could walk into town which was a priority for us. The house was adorable and very functional. With 5 women, 2 bathrooms was great to have and the kitchen was set up well with all the essentials. There was plenty of room and we each got our own bed! I would go back in a minute, loved it!

Delightful and clean, great location

This house was perfect for us and our three boys, age 14-22. Larger than we expected, with lots of character inside. Very clean, and loaded with amenities and supplies. Excellent kitchen for families expecting to cook every day like we did. Walking distance to the harbor. One of the bedrooms can be reached only by going through the master bath; that's one quirk we could've done without. But everything was wonderful, comfortable, and very well kept!

About the host

Hosted by Vacasa

Host profile image
Thanks for considering a Vacasa home! We provide full-service management for privately owned vacation homes, and like to think that we offer our guests the best of both worlds: the unique experience of staying in a one-of-a-kind vacation home, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the home you book for your special vacation is cared for by professional housekeepers and property managers.




Vacasa began in 2009, simply because our founder and CEO Eric wanted to find a better way to share his wife’s family’s summer home in Long Beach, Washington with guests as a vacation rental. Eric and his early team worked to build Vacasa on the premise that local employees can do what they love most (taking care of guests, homeowners, and properties), while the hands-off tasks of vacation rental management—things like marketing, filing taxes, and maintaining a website—could be handled by a specialized central support team.




Our passion is connecting travelers with the unique experience of staying in a vacation home, and we would be honored to be your host. Please contact us with any questions about this home—our team is standing by!
