Boothbay Getaway: 2 BR, 2 BA Cottage in East Boothbay, Sleeps 6 Reviews

The property was updated and very clean. The pillows were not very good, but the bed was great! The location was not where we anticipated. It was very easy checking in and out.

Process of booking to checkout was too rigid in communications. Everything only through text. Too impersonal in my opinion. What if we had delayed flights past office hours? What if my cellphone had lost power or my charger was in my lost bags? There was an emergency number provided. No paper instructions for the house were provided. Would this be too much to ask? Again, these were provided only by text. Upon checkin the HVAC setup was confusing, but there no one to talk with. This did work out, but not without a string of texts a mile long. A short phone call would have settled the issue sooner for both parties. The checkin was computer controlled and too rigid, so we had to wait in a rain storm, and gained entry not a minute before. Outrageously, we were offered an additional hour before check out for $150 fee.????? We checked out an hour and a half early. The sheets on the beds were a blend of rayon/polyester, which were hot and uncomfortable. Sheets ought to be mostly cotton. The unit was clean and modern, but too sparsely furnished. No chairs in the living room or bedrooms, though there was a couch and a love seat in the living area. This property sits next to a burned out building on one side and on the other side a house appears to be boarded up and abandoned. This detracts from the lodging experience. A live conversation with the property manager could have allowed this review to be more positive. Finally, the stay was just ok. YRBO customer 10+yrs.

Wonderful condo, close to beach and wonderful restaurants

This parcel is a six-unit building that has been recently renovated. My two-bed, two-bath condo had utilitarian furniture and builder-grade fixtures. It was fine for a long weekend in Old Orchard with my dog -- and the main reason I chose this property is because they are dog friendly. Some minor maintenance will fix most of my complaints: many of the blinds are broken, including the blinds in both bedrooms. This building is on a busy street, and proper blinds are necessary. Relatedly, many of the door knobs do not function properly. The knob to the porch/deck did not lock and was loose. The doors to the primary bedroom and bathroom would shut, but the knob mechanisms were not fully secure because the doors could simply be pushed open, even when locked. The above are minor gripes and did not detract from my stay. I appreciated that property provided bar soap, dish soap, shampoo, dish washer detergent, and laundry detergent. The appliances are like-new, and the Roku TV provided all the entertainment I needed in the evenings.

Updated property, clean and good location close to the beach

This place became base camp for two sets of grandparents and my son’s family. We met there for breakfast every day, our granddaughter napped there and it was our gathering place while we explored the beach and surrounding area. We left 2 dogs alone for a few hours while we went out, and they apparently barked and disturbed our neighbors. The management was very nice and understanding. We apologized and didn’t leave the dogs alone again. There was plenty of room. The place was comfortable for two couples. We’d stay there again, without the dogs!

The condo was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable. The property manager was also very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely go back.

Proximity cleanliness overall great!

This property is newly renovated, and very clean and beautiful. Also it is very close from the beach!!! We will definitely come back again next year!
