Close enough to BoothBay Harbour and Botanical Gardens but private and quiet get away. Very comfortable! Spacious, good appliances and bedding. I would guess very new. Loved it!

Property is beautiful, fairly new and very well appointed. The unit was very nice, was hoping to be able to check in before 4, as we had all of our luggage with us and didn't want to go into town with it still in vehicle but Host stated unit was ready until a little after 3, this Host doesn't send out door code until unit is available. (Previous unit in Bar Harbor, we were sent info. 3 days in advance) There was hair products and bath soap provided, In the kitchen, there were some misc. kitchen items, perhaps left by previous renters. There was also a few pods of coffee. Additionally, there was also a very nice fire pit with chairs that we didn't use but would have definitely enjoyed, had we had more. Was very impressed that there was starter wood and a pile wood for fire pit. Not being negative but there are two things we did notice worth of mentioning, the ice maker is very, very slow so I would recommend picking up some to have on hand (there was only 4 of us, so not like we were using copious amounts). The other is, the unit could use a few more sets of towels. We would definitely rent again.

"New Cozy House", Convenient Location

We had a wonderful stay at Shipbuilder Place. The wooded location is extraordinarily convenient; close to Hanover grocery, Farm 23 Bakery and major highways to the most popular destinations without the traffic congestion. The duplex was well equipped and comfortable. It felt like home. The owners were extremely helpful and available to answer questions. 5 Stars.

Great location for both East Booth Bay and Booth Bay Harbor. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable with everything like new. More than adequate seating, open feel, great heat and air. Couldn’t think of anything that needs to be done and highly recommend.

This was the second time we rented this property. The house is exactly how it is described and shown in the photos. The house was clean and very nicely decorated. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and had everything needed. Excellent water pressure and the R/O water filter is an added benefit. Beds were very comfortable and the large windows allowed for lots of light. Yard is well maintained and nicely landscaped. Jeanne was quick to respond to any questions and proactively communicated. Great location - away from the crowds, but only a 10 minute drive to downtown Boothbay Harbor. We would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our stay here! What I loved most was the common area with the large sectional and seating area. Plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out! We used the kitchen for all meals and it was adequately stocked with everything we needed for cookware and utensils. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. The location is great, a quiet neighborhood and easy drive to the harbor. The only thing I would suggest to make it a better stay is more towels and adequate bedding for the pullout couch. We made due with what was there.We would easily choose this place again.

The home was clean, roomy, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was close to the locations we were there for and other than being a little tricky to find (waze was very confused), it was perfect. We did have to reach out for the lock code at check in time but otherwise, we couldnt have asked for a nicer place and location.

This is a lovely, updated, modern unit with everything you need to enjoy your Boothbay stay. Clean, comfortable beds, nice linens, lots of seating, and modern appliances. The coffee pods and toiletries were nice extras. The view is into the surrounding wooded area, very peaceful and quiet at night. It is just a couple miles from a grocery store and the harbor area. The unit is exactly as pictured. Would highly recommend the Ocean Point Inn for lunch or dinner with a view of the sea and the Cabbage Island Lobster picnic.

We had a lovely stay here. Everything we wanted was just a short drive away…grocery store, marina, restaurants, & shopping. The living area was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The master bedroom was lovely with a king bed and an en-suite bathroom that has a walk-in shower and plenty of counter space. There was also a TV in the master. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed, no TV. Unfortunately, the drawers in that room fall apart when you try to open them to put clothes in. The kitchen is well stocked but could use some better wine glasses. Jeanne was very responsive and answered all the questions we had. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Fabulous property! Ideal location!

We were the first folks to enjoy this brand new property for a long weekend! We are lifeline summer residents of this region, here to check on renovations being done on our own cottage. We could not have been more pleased with this property. Perfect location, minutes from our cottage, town and all the conveniences, this 2 bedroom duplex is light and airy, beautifully appointed with every detail considered. Host was in touch often, answering questions and welcoming us. Place was spotless! Don’t wait to book, I’m sure this will fill up fast. 6⭐️in our book!!!

Lovely Rental

Shipbuilders Retreat #2 was a beautiful rental in a secluded area of East Boothbay. It was spacious and well stocked with all appliances and accessories. We did not need air conditioning but the heating source was very good. The only items we found little uncomfortable was the bright sunlight early in the morning through the sheers and the living room furniture was a little too hard for our senior bodies. On the plus side plenty of pillows. Other than that we had a very pleasant experience staying at the rental and in the area in general.
