Retreat into the romance of coastal Maine. This exquisite 1800s Boothbay Harbor cottage bursts with vintage character and antique charm. Only a short walk to the downtown shops and dining, this location can’t be beat.

When the day is done, head across the street to the sunset chairs providing the best view in town of the footbridge.

This cottage, “Snug Harbor,” is located across the road from the water’s edge, where guests can sit and gaze out over the harbor. Access the home via a back deck with bench seating.

Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped eat-in kitchen with seating for two. Deep blue cabinetry, spacious countertops, with modern white appliances, including an electric stove/oven provide all the conveniences for your vacation needs. A door from the kitchen conceals the original wooden staircase that leads down to the basement, which is equipped with a washer/dryer.

Kick back and relax on the queen-size sleeper sofa while watching shows on the 40” 4k smart TV equipped with access to Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV and other services. High-speed Wi-Fi is included to support any remote working or schooling needs.

Up another flight of stairs lies the bedroom and antechamber sleeping space, furnished with a twin sleeper sofa. Under lofted ceilings sit a dresser, side table, bench, and armchair, all set on original 1800s wood floors. Walk through to the bedroom, where a queen bed rests on a gold metal frame. This unit has a portable air-conditioning unit and baseboard heating.

An intimate getaway for just two or your group of four in a vintage charmer, this centrally located Snug Harbor is your retreat from the world.

Loved the location! Short walk to downtown with plenty of shops and restaurants along the way. Breakfast steps from the door! Snug Harbor met our need and more. We found it clean, cozy, and had enough space for our toddler.

What a spot!
We had a delightful time at this apartment. It was just big enough for our family of 4 for a long weekend ( would feel cramped for a week though), and the location is fantastic! We walked downtown, across the footbridge multiple times a day. So convenient! The location right next to the harbor made for gorgeous sunset watching. We all love watching the tides come and go, so this spot was heaven. The apartment itself was nautical themed and tastefully decorated. The two pullouts were perfect for us- each kid got their own sleeping space. The deck was a terrific spot for morning coffee and lunch picnics, and the Adirondack chairs made for peaceful reading. We love Boothbay, but had never stayed in town before. It was a total treat!

Accessible to Boothbay Harbor
Attractive cottage with very nice new and antique nautical decor. Asking questions in advance was frustrating: I wrote three times, then called, to inquire about the complimentary sail which was advertised at the time I reserved. I received different answers from Turnkey staff, none accurate. I’ve used VRBO for years and never had this issue. Finally learned that this offer is no longer in effect. I can certainly understand that, but TurnKey should have known. The house photos imply that the cottage is closer to the water than it actually is, and that the small separate waterfront area with two chairs is in a secluded spot rather than right beside the road. Otherwise I recommend this fine property.

Awesome stay
This place was great for our month in Maine! We hiked a lot in the trails near Boothbay and did the 2.5 hour drive to Acadia 4-5 times too. Boothbay was pretty closed down (off season & covid) but there were a couple good places still open, and Mama D’s next door was open on the weekends. The apartment was as listed - it’s a bit smaller than it looks, but was everything we needed. Good wifi for working! Would recommend.

Staying in Snug Harbor
This apartment is well furnished and very well located to allow exploration of all of Boothbay Harbor. The unit is scrupulously clean and well provisioned with a standard full kitchen. The owner came by to see if we had all we needed and provided restaurant recommendations. The only thing some people may want to consider is the bedroom is upstairs that are steep with very narrow treads. Thus the apartment may not be ideal for those that have trouble negotiating stairs.

This property is misleadingly described.
This property is misleadingly detailed. 1) The “complementary” sail was not provided as promised. The contract stated to contact the owner and no contact info was provided and inside the property there was a poster that said to contact the rental agent (turnkey) for set up the sail. After contacting turnkey 5 times before and during our stay, we received no response. We checked out one day early and requested a refund for just the day we didn’t stay 1) (checked out on time) because the sail was not provided (offered for 4 day stays only) and were denied by the owner because we didn’t ask him about the sail… 2) The property is located in the same building as two very busy businesses and was not private in any way. The picture of the back patio is taken as to appear private when in fact it is surrounded on all sides by a busy driveway and offers no privacy. 3) The very first photo of this property is of two Adirondak chairs overlooking the harbor which is misleading. This property is neither water front nor water view. These chairs are actually not on the property but down the road, on another property right next to a guardrail on a busy street corner. 4) This is minor, but… It was very hot the weekend that we stayed, and the unit offers a few fans and only one window A/C unit and even with all running, it was unbearably hot inside the unit. 5) Lastly, this property is filled with old knickknacks and furniture that are very fragile. I would not recommend this property for families with small or adolescent children. I took some more accurate photos and sent them to turnkey and tried to upload them here but was unable.
