Driftwood Cottage is the perfect Maine getaway. Quiet location, but close to everything Boothbay offers. Unbeatable views from the large deck. The modest outside appearance gives way to the stunning open waterfront vista from the main living/dining area. Good cross breezes throughout the cottage. Large, comfortable, well-decorated rooms. Very clean and fully stocked. Easy, welcoming communication with the owner/manager. No disappointments at all!

Having been to the Boothbay area many times over the years, we were hoping mainly to relax rather than sightsee. You could hardly find a better view than from Driftwood Cottage. Where the Damariscotta River meets the Atlantic, open ocean to Starboard, Inner Heron Island dead ahead and Christmas Cove to Port, we never tired of the view even though we were stationary. Lots and lots of lobster and recreational boating activity to watch. This property is perfect for a couple, or two couples if you don’t mind mind sharing the single bathroom (we do mind). I wouldn’t recommend it fo kids because there’s no place to safety play outside. It’s about a15 minute drive to Boothbay Harbor Commercial Street, where parking can be a challenge. $8 to $25 to park off Commercial St - free parking a couple of blocks up the hill. We found the Lobster Wharf, the General Store and the Carriage House perfectly delightful for casual, if not fancy dining in East Boothbay, just up the road. In summary, this is a very comfortable “get away from it all” cottage with a million dollar view.

Driftwood Cottage is a wonderful place to vacation. It is comfortable, immaculate, bright and spacious. The view from the deck and the house is amazing!!! The owner is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly.

The cottage view is something you will never forget. A spacious and private deck with all you need to relax and take in the breathtaking view. You can hear the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff just below the property. To the right and left are adjacent properties, but you are still quite private. You are unable to see the cottage to the right due to trees, and the one on the left is set back away from the water giving Driftwood Cottage a stand alone feel. The interior is very clean and comfortable with ample windows to give you the same perfect views from inside the cottage. Kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for cooking anything you desire. A nice, new gas grill on the deck is perfect for outdoor grilling. The local area offers all you need for your stay, from groceries, fresh local seafood, restaurants, shopping, sight seeing, water activities, just to name a few. The property owner, Pam, is very nice and helpful to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Pam's welcome booklet in the cottage contains a detailed listing of everything you need to make your vacation special. Driftwood Cottage is perfect in every way! You will not regret it!!!

I am so happy that I chose Driftwood Cottage to spend a week in Maine. The cottage was comfortable, clean, and a home away from home. The view speaks for itself as it was lovely to sit out there reading. or having a glass of wine. Also enjoyed staying in East Boothbay where it is not as touristy but still close enough to get to Boothbay or anywhere else you care to see. Recommend the botanical gardens! I will definitely be back to this awesome place and cottage.

The driftwood cottage was the perfect location for my husband and I to spend a relaxing week. We have been to the Boothbay area several times but this was our first time staying in a rental cottage. Driftwood was a great house for us and had everything we needed. The view from the large deck is heavenly. Watching the sunrise, lobster boats and sail boats was an enjoyable part of each day. The cottage is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and nice bathroom. We would stay here again for sure.

Everything was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would like two weeks next summer if possible

We had already been impressed by the pictures of the cottage and the beautiful views online, but we were even more impressed and pleased to see it in person when we arrived. It was immaculate, was well-equipped with everything we could need, and had every amenity that made our stay comfortable and most enjoyable. It was very spacious, light and bright, and updated. We had wonderful sounds of waves crashing on the rocks, and the sun and moon sparkling on the water. Lobster boats were easily in view. We were in easy driving distance to Boothbay Harbor, grocery store, restaurants, and charming other scenic places that makes the Boothbay region so magical. The property is expertly managed and all detail has been paid attention to.

Cute cottage - perfect for the two of us. Great deck for morning coffee and watching the sunrise. Nice quiet road and close to town. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet getaway.

Pam was the perfect host. She was responsive and helpful, and her cottage was in outstanding condition. The furniture looks new and is quite comfortable. The view from the deck takes your breath away, and even in the rain, the large windows looking out over the river keep the cottage from seeming gloomy. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need, and the beds are comfortable. My only suggestion would be a stacked washer/dryer combo, but there is a laundromat close by, and it was fine. The cottage’s location is ideal - the area is quiet, but you can be in the center of Boothbay Harbor in no time. We will be back!!

Excellent in all respects

Charming with beautiful views! Driftwood had everything we needed. Comfortable rooms and fully equipped kitchen. Boothbay Town is so quaint and a great central location for going North to Acadia Park and South to Kennebunk and Hamptons. Loved it❤️

Had an issue with the cable and wish the shower head was adjustable. Other than that we loved this cottage.

When we first walked in to Driftwood Cottage, our first reaction was "wow!" Not only is it immaculate, bright, airy, and very tastefully decorated Maine Cottage style, but it definitely has a million dollar view!!! It is also well-equipped with all the kitchen essentials needed for a nice vacation away from home (pots, pans, plates, glasses, cooking and eating utensils, coffee maker, toaster, etc.) This is the second cottage we rented from Chill Vacation Rentals in East Boothbay; last year, we rented LobsterCliff Cottage (HomeAway Rental #3800167). Both cottages are on the same street, separated by a privately owned home, and both are equally as appealing! During our week at the Driftwood Cottage, we experienced Mother Nature at her finest. She gave us sunshine, dense fog, and some dramatic storm surge courtesy of Tropical Storm Hermine. On those picture perfect Maine days, we enjoyed our morning coffee and our evening glass of wine on the deck at the umbrella table. Although we did do some exploring of the Boothbay area, the stunning views of the Damariscotta River and open ocean kept beckoning us back to the cottage. We whiled away much of our time watching the endless parade of power boats and sailboats that passed right in front of us. The sound of the crashing waves, the cool sea air, and the super comfy furniture (including the memory foam mattress) were quite conducive to afternoon napping and sound sleeping. Highlights of our week were a return visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (we first discovered it on our visit to Maine last year, and we were so impressed that we became members); a daily two-lap walk around the peaceful trail savoring the lush flora and fauna, Glen Cove and of course, the river/ocean views; and our leisurely drive to see the Linekin Bay Resort. We also enjoyed a tasty lunch (and then went back for a delicious breakfast) at Harborside Tavern in Boothbay Harbor, and discovered the Watershed Tavern at Boothbay Craft Brewery (wonderful food and very friendly owners). Both are two of our new favorite places in the area. Another treat was a visit to the Seawicks Candle Company store on Wharf Street in Boothbay Harbor. They say that the mark of a good vacation is not wanting to go back home. Although we were sad to leave this charming cottage and area, we did so relaxed and recharged. We're already looking forward to our next visit to East Boothbay and one of the Chill Vacation Rentals.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Driftwood. Million dollar views, comfortable crisp bedding, scenic walks along the trail and the immaculate condition of the cottage all added to our enjoyment. Loved the take out opportunities at the general store and the convenience of the location to the Botanical Gardens, Barrett Park and downtown Boothbay. Pam answered all questions immediately. Highly recommend!

The cottage works beautifully. Kitchen is open to dining and living rooms with the constant view of the river/ocean. Lobster boats off the dock everyday but Sunday's. If you are only going for one week and don't need more than one bathroom it's terrific. Spacious and good traffic pattern. The deck is large with an umbrella table (4 chairs) plus 4 Adirondack chairs. Had a few gatherings there that works out great. If you like to walk there is a 2.2 miles loop that is terrific that we did at least once a day. We stayed 4 weeks and no washer and dryer got to us. Laundromats are not our thing. $20 bucks and 2 hours per trip. That was our only gripe. Would love to own it and add the laundry.
