Harborfront Home in the Heart of Boothbay | Walk to Restaurants & Shops

Welcome to “On the Harbor,” a premier waterfront vacation rental in downtown Boothbay Harbor, Maine. This beautifully restored historic 1870 sea captain’s home offers unbeatable harbor views, elegant coastal charm, and walkable access to restaurants, shops, art galleries, and boat tours—all just steps from your door.

Perfect for families and groups, this spacious Boothbay Harbor rental home sleeps 8 and features 3 bedrooms, a finished attic loft with twin beds, and 3.5 bathrooms. Guests can enjoy original architectural details, modern amenities, and curated décor that blend together for an authentic Maine coastal getaway.

The home’s large living room boasts panoramic harbor views, a 43” smart TV, and opens onto a deck directly overlooking the water—perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. A fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a drip coffee maker makes dining in easy, while the formal dining room (seating 8) and breakfast nook (seating 4) provide plenty of room to gather.

Upstairs, the captain’s suite features a king-size bed, smart TV, harbor views, and a luxurious ensuite with walk-in shower. Two queen bedrooms—one with a hand-painted mural and the other with local photography—share a charming bath with a classic clawfoot tub and shower.

The finished basement offers a retreat for kids or evening entertainment, with a 55” smart TV, sectional sofa, game table, record player, and a kitchenette. It also includes a full bath with walk-in shower and a laundry area with washer/dryer for your convenience. Outside, the lower deck is a peaceful spot to relax and watch the boats drift by.

This Boothbay Harbor waterfront rental includes off-street parking, and is a very short stroll to whale watching tours, kayak rentals, cozy pubs, seafood restaurants, and boutique shopping. Ideal for guests seeking an immersive, walkable Maine coastal experience.

Please note: This historic home includes three steep staircases and may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns.

5 Stars Guest from July 2024 - "We couldn't have asked for a better location - walking distance to shops and fabulous restaurants! The house was exactly as described and incredibly comfortable. One of our favorite spots was the deck, perfect for morning coffee!"
