The owners were very friendly and approachable. The location was in the center of everything. The recommendations Patty gave were spot on. If it’s available book it!!!
The apartment was great - light and clean and met all of our needs. What set this stay apart was the location right in the heart of town and the helpfulness of the owner who gave us with great local advice. Wonderful trip and hope to come back again.
Lovely light filled studio right in town with harbor views. Gracious hosts who provided a late check out to accommodate a work meeting. Wonderful stay!
Quick get away. The location was perfect walking distance to everything. Only thing that we noticed was the bed creaked loudly every time you moved but it was comfortable.
This is my second time staying here. I love it! So cute & cozy. Walking distance to everything. My dogs come with me. Such a great dog friendly town. I will be back!
Patty and her husband are excellent hosts!
Thank you!
Crazy good location. Steep narow stairs. Heating was hard to use with no air. Very nice kitchen for cooking meals. Comes with all you need. Including spices from others before you. But you just will not find a better location.
If you are looking for a place in the hub of Boothbay Harbor, you can't miss with this spot. Located right downtown, you can walk to everything. Hosts are shopkeepers and available to answer questions, etc. They supplied us with restaurant recommendations. Check in and check out were very easy. We thought it might be loud at night, but Boothbay quiets down once the shops close in the evening. Downside is parking. There is no dedicated spot, so we had to park on the street or pay for parking lot spot, but we made it work. Overall, it was comfortable, clean and well equipped with everything we needed.
The studio is in a perfect location for walking everywhere. It is in the middle of the downtown harbor area with plenty of good restaurants, art galleries and shops within walking distance.
It is is very clean and decorated beautifully and the owners were helpful and readily available.
There are a couple of things to be aware of.
Because the studio is in the heart of downtown, the parking is very limited and is not free. There are all day paid parking lots a few blocks away, but if you leave you may not get a spot when you return. When this happened, we drove around for 20 minutes and could not find a place to park. We finally drove to a restaurant a few miles out of town stayed a hour then returned when the crowds had left.
There are renters in the apartment above and you can hear them walking around. This was not a big issue for us because it was mostly during the day.
Patty's place is a true gem. The location can't be beat, it's beautiful, and Patty is so helpful and kind. A find in Boothbay Harbor! We'd happily stay again!
Patty and Marc are great. Location is beyond convenient if your purpose is to come to boothbay harbor and enjoy the quaint wharf and shopping and the food. Starfish is sunny well appointed and clean. Enjoyed are stay.
Cute, clean rental for us and our 2 little pups. The host and hostess were readily available if needed (which they weren't :)) and offered some great suggestions for the area. The rental is right on the harbor, local to shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!
Best little place to stay to enjoy the Boothbay area - stayed a few years ago and had been waiting to come back - Small but so comfortable and can’t beat the location! Patty has it decorated so cute! Loved all the beach accents. So awesome that it’s pet friendly too so my little Poppy could enjoy it too! Hope to visit again sometime!
The apartment was very cute, well maintained and very comfortable. The kitchen utensils were fully stocked. Laundry facilities are a very nice touch.
Patty is very sweet and willing to provide you with information and tips about the area to help make your stay as pleasant as possible. My wife and I would definitely stay there again.
The apt is beautiful with plenty of room, and amenities. Perfectly located downtown with easy walking to all restaurants and activities. Patty and Mark are gracious hosts, never any pressure. We always felt at home. Thank you Patty and Mark! We will be back! Sincerely; Ralph and Kathy.
Truly in the heart of the city and a walk to all the town hot spots. As this was our first trip to the east coast we learned that real estate is a premium, so be prepared to pay for parking (anywhere), apt stairs are narrow and shower is standing room only. Those are simple facts, but nothing that deters us from highly recommending this property. Patty and Mark are wonderful hosts and we can't wait to return!
My husband, pup, and I got away for the first time since COVID and this was an amazing stay. Patty and Mark were super helpful and we appreciated them accommodating our pup. We had a lovely time hiking each morning at the local Preserves and spending our days deciding what fantastic restaurant to eat in. The entire town is less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment. We enjoyed a harbor tour, and day trip to Camden including driving up to Mount Battie. We also did an oyster tour in Daramascotta (sp?) river and really enjoyed the outdoor restaurant there as well.
Thanks to Patty and Mark for hosting us!
The owner wasn’t happy that I didn’t know the door code which meant he had to open the door and give us the code. There is no designated parking for the unit, so we paid 20 a day for town parking. The unit was on the second floor with steep narrow steps to carry luggage up. If I’d known about the stairs and parking I never would’ve rented it. We were given the wrong WiFi information, but found the correct code on a card in the unit. It was beautifully decorated and in the middle of town so you could walk everywhere. We left a day early because we were tired of climbing the stairs.
Nice spot. Don't really want to ding it too bad, but some suggestions for bringing it up to what we'd expect from a 5* VRBO property. No wifi password in the agreement / messages, though there is very dated and inaccurate info on the property details page. We would expect coffee filters, hair dryer, and kleenex (more than 1 piece on a decorative box - that we didn't use).
Overall - a nice but small property.
