Recent Boothbay Harbor guest reviews

We loved our stay in Boothbay! Exceptional stay. Homeowner was very friendly and welcoming:)
Christina R. | Oct 2024
We loved the “walkability” of the area. We walked to breakfast each morning and could walk to the downtown area. Quiet location but not far from the shops and food.

Great Place
