Oceanfront home & guesthouse w/ incredible ocean views, deck & location

Tranquil Ocean Retreat

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

Offering a stunning oceanfront location where the water meets the rocky shores of Ocean Point, this light-filled home in East Boothbay is Midcoast Maine living at its finest. Almost every room - including each of the bedrooms and the separate guesthouse - provides a view of the ocean, allowing you to go about your daily activities in a truly spectacular setting.

Begin each day in the open kitchen, dining space, and living room, where you can take off the morning chill by throwing a log on the fireplace, admire the sunrise views of the coast through walls of windows, and sit down for pancakes prepared on the professional-grade gas range. Whether you're booked for a kayaking trip or a whale-watching excursion for the day, you'll come home to a gorgeous oceanfront deck where you can soak up in the sunshine in a rocking chair or enjoy an al fresco lunch of local lobster rolls. In the evenings, scroll through the Netflix and cable offerings on the living room TV or in the cozy upstairs media room as the day's clothes spin in the washer/dryer. When it's time to turn in, you'll have your choice of three charming queen bedrooms (one downstairs and two upstairs) in the main house, as well as a crow's nest loft that makes kids feel as though they're the captain of their own ship. In the separate guesthouse, you'll find a kitchenette and large picture windows that frame the ocean just outside.

WHAT’S NEARBY
This picturesque home is located on the tip of Ocean Point, a quick and scenic seven-mile drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor. With such close proximity to town, you'll be able to easily peruse the darling shops and art galleries, join local excursions with Tidal Transit Kayak Co., and pick up the freshest local seafood at Boothbay Lobster Wharf. Take beautiful morning strolls on the Ocean Point Walk just outside or through the Linekin and Burley Preserves less than two miles north. You'll also be only nine miles east of the legendary Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the ever-popular Maine State Aquarium.

THINGS TO KNOW
The crow's nest is accessed via a ladder-style staircase

Beautiful home
We loved this place. Even better in person than the pictures. Gorgeous setting on Ocean Point in a quiet neighborhood. Very nicely appointed, it meets all your needs and when the thermostat acted up the property manager was quick to respond and provide space heaters until hvac could come the next morning. We highly recommend and will stay here again.

We really loved being able to sit in the family room and play games and put together puzzles with a panoramic view of the ocean. Also even when raining sitting on the porch and drinking coffee in the morning was great!

Nice location and house.
Great place for kids to play on rocks. Location was secluded from tourists. Freezer didn't work, but had travel cooler and made it work. Some high-school kids showed up for several hours horsing around near the public parking spots, but nobody got hurt and eventually left. We noticed many people had the exterior house lights on during this period, but all went off when they left. Interior is stunning. House was inspirational for a beach home. Overall, a bit pricey but feel we overspend on a lot so it's our own doing. Glad to have rented this place and probably will do it again.

Terrific solid house needing some TLC.
We have stayed in this house for a few years, and have become quite attached to it, and the location. We were concerned after the 2024 winter storm how the house would fare, and were gratified to discover that it survived very well, with everything intact except some of the exterior stone wall. It is such a user-friendly house...it has great bones. That being said it needs some TLC: the deck and deck chairs are beaten up,slowly falling apart, and some window screens have holes. The overall exterior could use upkeep. The view is gorgeous, the house is so comfortable and we will continue to come....especially during low season when it is so quiet. I just hope that the owner and staff can find the time to provide the necessary upkeep to the exterior. Then it would be 5 stars!

Great Stay!!
Location and home on point w/ sweeping waterfront views!! Before checking in, I was concerned due to reading some concerning reviews before our visit. Fortunately, they were pretense reviews - those reviews should be ignored. We felt at home the entire time during our stay, the property was clean and my daughter loved the games shelf. We’re grateful that this property was available and had a great stay! Thank you!

Peaceful and Tranquil with a Hitch or Two
We had a family mini-reunion and enjoyed our stay. There were a few maintenance and accoutrement issues that caused a problem or two (blinds, front door, no wine glasses and very few tumbler glasses) but generally, the property was mostly as listed. Clean and the location cannot be beat with stunning views and proximity to the coast-line. Peaceful and tranquil describes it well, for the most part.

The Best View Ever!
We stayed four nights as it was our first time seeing the coast of Maine. The weather was cold but that was the point, we wanted to experience this in the winter as that’s when it’s quietest :). Bottom line, we had the best time and truly relaxed as the home is exactly as you see! Though there was a terrible storm swell that hit the coast back in January, the house is unscathed and was in perfect condition. There is some road damage from the storm but you can easily drive and walk and just enjoy the beauty that is literally right off the front yard. Beds were amazing, super cozy, and the upstairs and crows nest are so cute! We will absolutely be coming back, thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Perfect location by the ocean
The house is solid, comfortable and perfectly situated at the ocean's edge. The panoramic view is spectacular and the house has many amenities, and can accommodate people comfortably.That being said, such a beautiful house could use some upkeep and TLC, especially with it's popularity. From small details like broken, missing or misplaced elements to overall exterior upkeep-the house would be gorgeous with a freshening up. However, it still doesn't detract from a spectacular, beautiful house in a great area.

A gem in need of attention
A well designed home with wow factor, mostly because of the spectacular location on the ocean. The house understandably shows wear and tear after seasons of renters and needs a lot of attention to the interior and exterior, including broken doors, windows and cleaning. We love this home and will return but hope that it gets the repairs and upgrades it deserves. It is a gem.

Amazing
We’ve been coming to boothbay our whole lives and this is the most amazing house we’ve stayed in. The ONLY thing I can complain about is there are no blinds/curtains that actually keep the sun out of the bedrooms. It’s realllllly bright in the mornings so we couldn’t sleep in on our getaway. The house is perfectly appointed otherwise.

Stunning views!
This property is absolutely amazing. From every window you can see the water. The neighbors were all lovely and welcoming. The house is well maintained, comfortable and clean. It’s too bad it’s not managed by the owners as it would be a more personal experience. Vacasa was not easy to communicate with. There was very little information about the property and no instructions for check-out. Fortunately the house, views and town made it 100% worth the trip!

Enjoyable Stay, With A Few Issues
Pros: This house has the perfect location in picturesque neighborhood that is only 15 minutes from downtown Boothbay Harbor. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood, and everyone was very friendly. It's also the prime spot to watch the sunset. The house is well maintained, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. Cons: There were several issues with the bedrooms. The beds were quite soft (we prefer a firmer mattress) and the bedroom shades didn’t block much light, so it was bright very early in the morning (5 am). If the owners fixed these issues (black out shades in the bedrooms and better mattresses) we would gladly return because we really liked the Ocean Point neighborhood.

August on Ocean Point
As others have said the view is amazing. The neighbor hood is great. Others said furnishings were worn, but I found them suitable. I did not like working with Vacasa that also charges you fees. I made a report with them the first day about uncleanliness, black mold and leak in upstairs bathroom, and misrepresenting size of loft beds (I sent photos). They never got back to me or took care of a thing. I bet the owner isn’t even aware of it. Property and location are amazing, but I would not want to work with Vacasa again. Paying them and VRBO and no one helped us.

not impressed with property manager
The location was great. The house was nice but not as nice as expected. The pictures were taken with a lens that makes the rooms look bigger and more impressive than they really are. So walking into the house for the first time was disappointing. The original responses from the property manager, Vacasa, were scripted. They didn't seem to know that actual house at all. When I did have an issue , I had to send/leave several additional messages before getting a response that made sense. And I did not appreciate getting a call from them at 10:30 at night. There was no need for that.

This year was disappointing due to needed repairs
My husband and I have rented this house twice for extended stays. I concur with others, the location is amazing and if you love Maine as we do, this is a marvelous location. We believe this was a very fine home when it was new, however, it is becoming very very run down. We see that the management co has been promising updates for a while, but in the year since our last visit many things in the house have stopped working or are being neglected. The freezer is not freezing, cabinet doors falling off, missing kitchen equipment, etc etc. we finally went out and bought a Keurig because the old one stopped working. The house is very filthy: windows were so dirty we couldn’t see our, sofas are ready for the heap, the carpet (although very fine) is filthy. The ceiling stains are worse this year and moldy, showers need retiling bec of mold. This is all disappointing when the pictures are from several years ago, but arrive to find all these issues. We have reserved the house for 2 weeks and can’t get a refund to go elsewhere. All this and the rental rates and fees continue to increase. The management company is doing a horrible job with this place. Their “fee” was almost $1000 for next year, but I don’t have confidence that it will be better for another stay. When we texted them to let them know about freezer we never heard a word back.

Great spot but needs some attention
This was my family's 2nd visit to this house. My kids love climbing on the rocks on Ocean Point so there is really no better venue, but frankly if there had been another option I would have taken it. The house needs some attention. Everything was clean, but in need of some updating. Living room furniture is worn and should be replaced. There were 3 non matching wine glasses - one of which was cracked. Water glasses were also very sparse. If 8 adults actually stayed here they would need to buy a lot of stuff to drink out of. The kitchen cookware is pretty sparse and in rough shape. Utensils and utensil storage is random, disorganized, and incomplete. No salt, no cooking oil, few useful spices.... No niceties that you find in other rentals at this price point like a nice note and coffee or something welcoming. Zilch. Also, given the price point (very high) what is provided to you as a guest is really not market. The most glaring example was the kitchen dish sponge - or the half a kitchen dish sponge. Literally the sponge was cut in half through the wrapper. The other half was not provided. Seriously? One roll of terribly useless paper towels...one. Toilet paper was painfully (literally) bad - had to buy our own. Bath soaps provided were comically small....again - one per shower. Instructions (wifi, tv, etc) also out of date and incorrect. Window blinds should be added to the living area.The magnificent view makes up for some of these issues, but not all.
