What a great spot for viewing the ocean! The swings overlooking the bay, the outside porch, and the three-season/sun room were all fabulous place to sit and enjoy the view and sea breezes. The beach roses surrounding the property filled the air with such a beautiful fragrance. We also enjoyed taking short walks along the breakwater shoreline, and the easy stroll to the beach was so convenient. The bedrooms were cozy, but we didn't need a lot of space to sleep. The number of bedrooms was perfect for our group. The walk-in shower was surprisingly nice. The host was very quick to answer questions and went out of his way to try to help us find something we were in of for the trip. We are grateful for our wonderful time at the Boathouse Cottage.

House had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable family stay. The view from the sunporch was wonderful. The soft waves, colors of the water, and large granite rocks, with the occasional group of diving ducks and small fishing boats was a pleasant relaxing sight. We traveled to towns both north and south of Saco and found scenic sights and coastal towns. Plenty of homemade ice cream places and there are lobster rolls for $20 in a few places. We totally enjoyed it all:)

The house was a perfect stay for the weekend of my mom's birthday. It is very close to a few great lobster places and very spacious with lots of sitting areas inside and out. My friend spent the majority of the trip on the benches in the backyard overlooking the bay. I would absolutely stay here again.
