Great spot for Boothbay Harbor
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was well appointed with all the amenities we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the evening patio and was able to see fireflies in the evenings. The unit was super clean and comfortable. Our communication with the property manager was prompt. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our visit to Boothbay Harbor.

New England get away
We had a wonderful stay. The unit was just as pictured except for a large sectional for additional seating. Very clean and up to date. Location was good easy to get into Boothbay Harbour as well as traveling to near by towns like Damariscotta. It was a nice quiet location to return to in the evening. Bed was very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone considering staying here and would love to stay again.

A delightful house w/great location
The house sits on a quiet, pretty lot, surrounded by the woods. It's 2 miles from a grocery store and drug store, and also very close to town, where there are 1/2 dozen great seafood restaurants. The house is nicely furnished, and comfortable. The lighting is actually great -- you just have to find the switches on the far wall. The heat and cooling worked well.

Just a short, overnight stay ...
but would highly recommend this property. Everything our group needed - very comfortable and within a quick drive to downtown Boothbay. Rental was off a busy road but was very quiet and peaceful. We only used this as a stopping off point for our travel further north but would consider staying again and for a longer period.

The place was perfect for two couples. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the mornings. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Overall we enjoyed out stay.
This was the perfect property for our family. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. This unit has everything you need! We can’t wait to come back to this property next year.

Shipbuilder’s Retreat July 2023
Shipbuilder’s Retreat was a wonderful place to stay for our 2 week vacation in Maine. We explored East Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor and the surrounding region from this convenient and peaceful location. The home itself was beautiful, immaculate and stocked with everything we needed. Good communication with Jeanne as well. Overall a great experience!

This is a great property!! Clean, well managed, great mattress, good location, well stocked, good TV, nice deck and landscaping. Our only suggestion to the owners is the living room sofa and chairs are way too small for regular size people to sit on. Otherwise.... this property is awesome!!!
