I enjoyed myself in many ways. I felt completely safe and private right in the middle of town.

While our trip was cut short because of a problem back home, our time at Tom's was absolutely wonderful. He is very kind and helpful, and his dog Ruthie is a sweetheart. The accomodations are terrific. The location couldn't be better. Clean, and well maintained. Just as advertised, and perfect for the two of us. A lovely private balcony with a picture postcard view. And an off-street parking spot included! Perfect! Thank you Tom. We look forward to returning to 29 Mckown St.

Aerie is a charming apartment located in the top floor of a renovated house. The apartment has been well kept & decorated. The view over Boothbay Harbor cannot be beaten and can be enjoyed from its balcony. Would certainly return in the future.

Convenient to pier and fabulous Boothbay restaurants and shops. Tom is a great source for all things Boothbay.

Tom is great and very friendly and attentive ....the view and deck with views of the harbour are the best

We truly enjoyed our stay at this apartment in an idyllic setting on the harbor. The balcony with access from both the living room and bedroom was particularly enjoyable - a pleasant perch overlooking the harbor and town goings-on. Tom was very forthcoming with suggestions on local and surrounding activities and especially good restaurants!

Our time in Boothbay was perfect. Tom, our host, was responsive to needs, offered excellent advise with regard to sightseeing, food, and local customs etc. The apartment was very clean and had all that we needed to make our stay wonderful. The Boothbay region is a must visit for anyone who enjoys the coast, history, good shopping, excellent food and a place where one can relax. Out of 5 stars we give it a 5 1/2. Thanks for everything.

Third floor apartment in lovely vintage home. Small balcony overlooking the bay! Everything in walking distance. Just beautiful and not enough time to do everything. Tom was great host with pages of suggestions, and his darling Westie, Ruthie, makes u feel welcome. Highly recommend this venue.

Really amazing weekend. Great place. Clean and friendly. Tom was extremely helpful and we enjoyed every minute

This property has a truly wonderful location overlooking the Boothbay Harbor, with restaurants, shops, and tours all close by the front door. The landlord Tom and 4-legged companion Ruthie were very friendly and helpful and responsive to all our questions and needs. We had relaxing days and busy days depending on our mood. We boiled live lobsters on two nights and they were great. We would recommend that visitors seek out the Maine State Aquarium on Southport Island and the South Maine Botanical Garden which we found to be special places. We couldn't have selected a property which better suited our needs for this week.

The apartment was just what we expected and wanted. Lots of room, well appointed, just a door step away from food and fun. Good beds and our own parking slot. We had a great relaxing week visiting with relatives and chasing light houses. Will stay again when we are in the area.

Property was very neat and clean and very convenient. Off street parking was a plus, but be ready for 3rd floor walk up to the apartment. We kept the deck doors open every night and never had to use the A/C. House renovation construction across the street was somewhat noisy but only between 8 and 3:30pm. Owner Tom was on site daily and very accessible for questions and recommendations on where to eat and shop. Loved his dog Ruthie!!! The kitchen is small and the stove not easy to cook on, but lots of places to eat all meals within short walking distance. We joined the Boothbay Harbor Country Club for the week and played golf there every day. It is spectacular. Also took our family (maximum 6 people) on a sail on the Sarah Mead, a friendship sloop that leaves from Spruce Point Inn 4 times a day and goes to several lobster traps so the kids can see how lobstering is done. Our grandkids 6 and 10 also loved the Maine Aquarium.

We had a great week in Boothbay Harbor. Our host Tom answered many of our questions and was incredibly helpful. Our property was centrally located where we could walk to everything. It was a great week.

My husband and I had been looking forward to our first trip to Maine for a long time. We were not disappointed. We like to rent with VRBO, and this experience was a good one. We stayed in the third floor apartment. The stairs were a bit tiring, but we needed the exercise and the view from the top is amazing. If I had done nothing more than sit on the balcony and gaze at the harbor, the trip would have been a success. The owner Tom greeted us cheerfully shortly after we arrived and gave us many helpful hints to make the most of our stay. It is so nice to have the advice of a local. The apartment itself is very clean and roomy. We only ran the air conditioner a short while. We slept with the doors open and drank in the ocean breezes. It was quite comfortable. Amazingly, there was little noise overnight even though we were right in the center of town. The sun comes up early in Boothbay Harbor, so be prepared to be an early riser. You will want to get up and get started on the many things to do and see in the area. My favorite thing was the sailboat ride. We just walked across the street and booked the ride as well as a trip to Cabbage Island for a lobster bake. We enjoyed shopping and browsing the Boothbay Harbor shops and eating in the local restaurants. The library was across the street and hosted a local arts and crafts fair as well. We visited the botanical gardens which were lovely. We drove to nearby sites such as L. L. Bean and Bar Harbor. There was so much to see and do in this state that we wished we could have stayed much longer. The only thing we did not enjoy was the whale watching/puffin excursion. It was too expensive for just brief glimpses of whales and tiny puffins flying in the distance. Plus, the boat goes far out in international waters which were choppy and made many people on the boat sick. We would highly recommend BoothBay Harbor and this property to anyone who wants to have a genuine Maine experience. The only drawbacks to the property were minor ones. Get ready to sleep in twin beds if you are a couple, and be prepared to wear wrinkled clothes. Even though the description says iron and board, there is none. There is a washer and dryer on site with detergent; this was quite helpful since there were only two towels to use all week. I want to end this review by saying a big thank you to Tom for being such a friendly and nice person. It was so nice meeting him and listening to his accent. Thanks!

If you've never been to Boothbay Harbor - and are traveling alone or with close family or friend - this is the perfect spot to stay. You'll be in town but close enough to the water to enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine out on the balcony and drink in the view! There are stairs to navigate but they also mean you have great cross breezes at night. The landlord is helpful, full of local information, and willing to advise. A full kitchen means you can boil your own lobster for dinner, make breakfast before you head out for the day, or pop up for lunch if you aren't in the mood for one of the great restaraurants nearby. Additionally, you can make what you want to take along for walking the nearby nature preserves or kayaking the estuaries. You will not regret choosing this spot while in BBH.

Our stay was wonderful. The view from the balcony is a delight, made even more so when, on a lovely summer morning, one shares it with a companion, coffee in hand. The apartment is perfectly located, close to the many local restaurants and shops. Our very helpful and generous host's restaurant suggestions proved excellent. He also described a number of activities that our short stay would not permit, so we are planning to visit again. We highly recommend this rental.

Perfecte plek voor een vakantieweek aan de kust. We voelden ons zeer welkom geheten door de eigenaar, met onze eigen vlag wapperend vanaf het balkon. Uitstekende uitvalsbasis voor geweldige tripjes per boot op zoek naar walvissen en papegaaiduikers. boothbay Harbor biedt het allemaal. Onze gastheer had een perfect logboek voorbereid met tips voor ontbijt, lunch en de heerlijkste diners. Het uitzicht vanaf ons balkon was fantastisch (zeker met het vuurwerk op 4 juli). Alle faciliteiten waren op loopafstand. De eigen parkeerplaats was luxe

This was a wonderful location for staying in Boothbay Harbor. Close by all of the shops, restaurants and harbor activities. Great views from the balcony of this rental both day and night. Very comfortable and plenty of room. Owner was very helpful with info about the area.

had never been to Maine, and thankfully chose Tom's rental, the location is perfect close to all the action but just out of earshot. the balcony overlooking the harbor is the definition of relaxing. Tom is quite helpful but not intrusive, I hope to be back

The unit was clean and looked just like the pictures. It was very convenient being rignt in downtown Boothbay. We could see the harbor from the unit and restaurants were only a few steps away. We especially liked Ports of Italy, Down East Ice Cream Company, and Blue Moon Cafe. Tom was very helpful recommending things to do and restaurants both in Boothbay and further away.

I had a great time in Booth Bay Harbor. I really enjoyed staying at the retreat. It was so nice to be able to be the center of things. The apt. was really nice , I enjoyed sitting on the balcony, having coffee and watching things going on in the harbor. It was quite, homey, just right for 1 or 2 . I went sailing with the Bay Lady soooooo relaxing. Went whale watching saw a couple of whales, I took both of the lighthouse tours, I took the last one to extend my stay . I did not want to leave. I drove to a couple of other towns , I Enjoyed the botanical gardens. Yes I would go back and stay at the same place and do it all over again .

We went up for a getaway for a few days and had a wonderful time! The rental was really comfortable, in a perfect location so we could walk all over town, and the owner had wonderful recommendations for places to eat. He didn't steer us wrong once! I would stay here again.

My girlfriends and I recently stayed at this property and had such a great time! The location is just perfect, close to restaurants and great shopping all within walking distance. There is so much to do in Boothbay - botanical gardens, farmers market, great places to eat. The front porches are a great spot for a cup of coffee in the morning to watch the boats go by in the harbor. The property owner had such great recommendations for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would highly recommend this property and hope to come back next year!!
