Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Historic Home The Historic Captain’s Home was the perfect place to stay for our Maine vacation in Boothbay Harbor. Not only was the home clean and attractive, it was centrally located within the harbor area that we could walk to just about any type of meal within 5 minutes. The balcony view of the harbor was picturesque regardless of the time of day. Even with all of the busy events that go with Windjammer Days, the house was still relaxing and quiet. The stately home was historic and spacious, and Sea Maine rentals ##### James W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darin M.

There are very few homes that have a better location in Boothbay Harbor. Communication with the management company was nothing less than excellent. Highly recommended. ##### Darin M.

It being Christmas, the whole experience was like a Hallmark movie. The tiny bathrooms were challenging but a small price to pay for the ambiance. Could use some more cookware ##### Eddie O. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ashley L. Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Views! The house was amazing. Great location and walking distance to everything. It was great watching the boats every day right off your back deck. The only cons were the upstairs windows outside were broken and there was small glass pieces on the deck. The other con was they need a bigger hot water heater. You barely had enough hot water for one shower. I would definitely stay at this location again and highly recommend it. The property manager was amazing and very friendly. ##### Ashley L.
