Situated in the heart of downtown Boothbay Harbor, this newly renovated two-story apartment occupies the top two floors of a lovely coastal home built in 1894. The apartment combines unique design elements with high-end touches that include deluxe appliances and modern rustic furnishings. With room for eight, a fabulous downtown location and on-site parking, this apartment has it all. And feel free to bring your four-legged friends. Our property is ultra pet-friendly.

ABOUT THE HOUSE

There’s a fresh fun feel throughout this beautifully furnished home with rustic barrel-themed decor and lots of windows overlooking the harbor.

After a day on the ocean, cook a hearty meal in the haute kitchen with slate countertops from Monson, Maine, wood cabinetry, and upscale appliances. Serve meals at the dining table set beneath a one-of-a-kind pendant chandelier. A stained glass window casts beautiful light through the dining room and provides a sneak-peak at the back deck with bistro seating for six.

In the living area, curl up on a large sectional sofa. Play a hand of cards around the re-purposed wine barrel coffee table or unwind in front of the wall-mounted TV. There’s even a wine barrel dog bed nearby for your furry friend!

A sunny 2nd floor deck offers a tranquil spot to catch the coastal breeze.

The master bedroom is located on the main level and furnished with a queen-size bed, sitting chair, and dresser. A novel barrel-themed sink and tile shower complete the en-suite bathroom. Main level also has a convenient half-bath with marble sink and quirky décor.

The upper floor has two bedrooms and full bath that includes an original claw-foot tub with shower combination. There is also a perfect area to view the harbor and watch the boats go by. The bunk room is great for kids with two twin-over-twin bunk beds, bean bag chairs, and classic board games. A tastefully appointed third bedroom features a queen-size bed, unique teak bench, and a spectacular 5-foot round window with sweeping view of the inner harbor.

EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS

Amenities include a washer/dryer, bike rack, and parking space for two cars. All bedrooms and living spaces have individual heat and A/C units so occupants can adjust temperature to their liking.

THE LOCATION

With a fantastic downtown location and on-site parking, you can easily explore the best of Boothbay Harbor on foot. Book whale watching trips with Cap'n Fish and go in search of minke and humpback whales surfacing along the Maine coastline. Or head to Schooner Eastwind and enjoy tours around the Burnt and Ram island lighthouses.

Our central location is also just a short stroll from local shops, independent retail stores and fabulous restaurants. For traditional Italian classics, walk next door to Ports of Italy or a short walk to Harborside Tavern for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can also indulge on specialty foods at Eventide or buy a special treat for your furry friend at Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters (both located across the street). Visit Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, which hosts Garden's Aglow and Festival of Lights in Boothbay Harbor.

The place was immaculate! Location was great. It was very convenient to park the car and be able to walk to everything. The house was so unique. You could spend a day just looking at the special features of the house and the detail of it. It was very well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen made you want to fix meals and not go out to eat. The only negative was the ice maker didn’t work, which was reported to Vacasa immediately on arrival. We are looking forward to our next vacation there. GREAT PLACE!!!

We booked our annual trip up to Maine and was lucky enough to book Buddy’s Barrel House. Most of the time this property is booked up pretty quickly when the year starts and now we understand why. Every detail that went into this house is very impressive from the curated decor to the color coordinating Fiesta dinnerware. They keep it very well stocked with cookware, k-cups, linens, etc. The house itself is gorgeous and filled with so much character. We spent our mornings on the deck eating breakfast and enjoying the view. We LOVED the location, all of our favorite spots were just a few feet away from the front door. Looking forward to staying here again for our next visit to Boothbay!

This house is laid out very nicely. Master down and 2 bedrooms upstairs. This allowed for privacy. Nice deck and the porthole view upstairs was beautiful.

Beautiful well equipped place. Tons of attention to detail as a host. Most stocked kitchen I’ve even rented. We didn’t bring our dog this time but tons of accommodations for dogs including rag towels for them in the laundry room. We used the beach towels provided which were a saving grace. Cleaning supplies, garbage bags, different oils, ziplock bags and teas were available. Very impressed. We’d love to stay again

This is our third time staying at Buddy’s Barrel House. This time with different relatives. The home is always spotless on arrival and the roomy accommodations were perfect for our party of four adults, two teenagers and one happy little dog. It is very convenient for everything the town of Boothbay has to offer.

The apartment was spotless when we arrived. Well equipped kitchen, which was nice for us as not much open in the off season. It is cosy without being cramped. Our second visit and we will definitely go again!
