Gorgeously remodeled and perfectly located on Atlantic Avenue in Boothbay Harbor, this two-bedroom property will place you within easy walking distance of the footbridge and a wide assortment of charming shops and restaurants. This space occupies the first floor of a larger home, with its own separate entrance and an interior that has been beautifully renovated and upgraded with new furnishings and finishes. Gather around the table in the light-filled dining room each morning, bring in a platter of pancakes fresh from the fully appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and make plans for the day's kayaking or whale-watching excursion using the free WiFi. Bring home some local seafood to sear on the gas grill, soak up a bit of sunshine outside on the back deck, and spend the evening in the company of board games and a flatscreen TV with a VCR and a DVD player.
What's nearby:
This home is located on Atlantic Avenue in Boothbay Harbor, just down the road from the footbridge that leads over the harbor into downtown. You'll need only your feet to reach the Boothbay Lobster Wharf (a quarter-mile south), Tidal Transit Kayak Co. (less than half a mile northwest), and the plethora of boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and eateries for which Boothbay Harbor is known and loved. Take a stroll over to Barrett Park (half a mile east) to dip your toes in the cool water, spend a morning exploring the Maine State Aquarium (three miles west), and be sure to visit the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (four miles northwest) for incredible displays in every season.

Perfect spot in Boothbay Harbor… house has everything you need…
4.0 / 10.0
1. the keypad on the front door did not work
2. The TV did not work
3. There was little to no instruction to show how to turn on the TV and/ or accessories
4. There was no printed welcome packet nor a any information about local interests and dining
5. Given the inability of the phone support people to render the front door keypad servicable, we did not have time to call and discuss How-To make the TV work.
6. Generally disappointed with these basic condo elements that did not work
7.The condo was clean and sufficient towels and linens and kitchen utensils were supplied.

Getting into town for meals couldn’t get any easier using the footbridge. Everything is within a 10 minute walk. Very nice being able to leave the car on property because in town parking is hard to find.
Only thing I recommend is bringing a case of bottled water as the town water tastes of sulpher. Great stay and great town.

This was a lovely property close to the walking bridge into Boothbay Harbor.

Was an amazing stay. Near all that you need to be. The beauty here is surpassed.

Overall an excellent location, a beautiful property and a very safe area! Unit was spacious although the furniture could stand to be modernized. Minor concerns: vacasa was always prompt in replying to concerns but never actually fixed anything. TV doesn’t work and is missing needed cables and batteries. Only one AC in the whole apartment and it is in a back room. I had to rig up another one myself using masking tape and a bubble envelope to replace the missing parts. Doesn’t seem like they have a local person to repair things. Other than that, a great unit!

Great location, easy walk over the bridge to the center of town

The house was nice, and the location was great. You’re seconds from the footbridge with access to dozens of shops and restaurants. Please note, there was no washer or dryer on site (utilities mentioned on vrbo site coin laundry - but there is none on the actual property). Beds were comfortable, but could use a little updated furniture in the living room area. The property had tons of tv channels and cable which was nice.

Comfy home in a great location.

This was a cute little house. Visited with my husband and 2 teenagers. The house was clean and a great location. We enjoyed the pedestrian walkway across the bay to main street, even though most stores were closed for the season. I'm sure this is a great place to stay during the busy summer months. However, our stay was in April and Maine can still be cold during that time. I would encourage the owner to add extra blankets and lanterns for future visitors in case there is a power outage or just a really cold night. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay here.

Bright sunny house with a view of the harbor. Just steps to the foot bridge.

Great location. Bright clean home.

The unit was clean and comfortable. Waking up to the views of the harbor was the highlight of our trip. We had more than enough utensils to cook in the unit, we explored the local area by foot since it’s so close to everything, including the foot bridge. What a perfect birthday get away!
10.0 / 10.0
We pretty much just slept there because we were busy at the workshop all day. There were some movies on discs however the disc player is not hooked up to the TV. But was not a big deal.
10.0 / 10.0
Had everything we needed and close to shops and restaurants
8.0 / 10.0
We had a great stay and we’re very happy here! We loved the location with a short walk across the footbridge and a view of the harbor with lobster boats coming in and out with the tide. The house was, bright, warm, cozy, and just what we wanted. We would stay here again.
8.0 / 10.0
We loved the property. Had everything we needed, clean and great location! Loved being able to walk over the footbridge into town to shop and eat. The only cons were that we were given the wrong code to get into the house. Fortunately it was handled quickly.
10.0 / 10.0
The comfort and the location.
10.0 / 10.0
For the two of us, this was a convenient and comfortable place to spend a week. It's quiet and equipped for an enjoyable stay. Town is just a short walk or drive to restaurants and shops. The house was clean and ready to move in. We'd go back.
10.0 / 10.0
Property was exactly as listed. Comfortable bed. We’ll stocked kitchen. Clean. Check in instructions said to use key pad to left of door. In fact, you entered the key code in the door handle itself. When we realized that was the case, we were able to access the property.
10.0 / 10.0
The accommodation was clean and comfortable and included a parking spot. The location made the downtown area very walkable. We had a little glitch with the lockbox when we first arrived. But assistance from property management services got us into the property in no time.
3.0 / 10.0
Good location. Enjoyed proximity to bridge and stores
10.0 / 10.0
Everything was clean and wonderfully decorated. Very close to grocery stores and a few restaurants....most shops were closed for the winter but the ones that were open were fantastic !! I highly recommend this property.
8.0 / 10.0
Pros: absolutely perfect location!; impeccably clean; delightfully decorated
Solid: comfortable furnishings; plenty of dishes, utensils, etc in the kitchen; great views of the sunset across the harbor; well stocked with amenities like shampoo, dish soap, etc.
Cons: only one key (with the accompanying risk of locking yourself out…email referenced a backup lockbox but our code didn't open it); wifi is terrible…we gave up and used our phones; bath towels etc are borderline sandpaper
Bottom line: Generic accommodations in a great spot. There was zero indication this was part of anyone’s home, etc, but rather simply seems to be a short-term rental property operated by a management company exclusively for that purpose. We would return but there are a lot of comparable options in the area.

Great location, immaculate, and comfortable. We stayed happily in December, and can see how this would also be wonderful in summer.
5.0 / 10.0
We stayed for 7 days for our 30th wedding anniversary. Even though it was off season (Dec.) we had a great time. The unit was immaculately and toasty warm. The view of the harbor is lovely and the sunsets perfect. Most stores and restaurants were closed but so few people were in town that we had no problem being seated at the open establishments. Bathroom is off the kitchen which was a little far from the bedrooms but other than that highly recommended.
5.0 / 10.0
As folks mentioned, the location is great. Walking the footbridge at the base of the property is a short cut to Boothbay downtown. We loved the property and the well stocked kitchen. Very clean. We were able to drive about an hour north and south to visit other towns as well. All the local restaurants are top notch for seafood. Great time to stay over the Holidays.
8.0 / 10.0
This place has one of the best locations in Boothbay Harbor. It is very close to the footbridge where you can walk to shops and restaurants, yet it is not too busy that you would be bothered by noise or crowds. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. It had plenty of dishes, pots, pans and even games and books. My only criticism would be that more towels need to be provided especially since there is no access to a washer and dryer. Sometimes guests need an extra washcloth or bath towel in case one gets dirty. There was no bath mat to step on after showering and there was only one dishtowel making it difficult to wash and dry dishes as requested. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would love to return in the future.
10.0 / 10.0
The space was very clean and tastefully decorated. The location was perfect for walking to downtown and driving for day trips to other attractions. We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was immaculate . Easy to get around Boothbay Harbor. Anything one would want was there. The location for me is perfect with friends in Brunswick and Belfast. I’m hoping to come back with family to fill that second bedroom!
10.0 / 10.0
My wife and I spent 4 nights in the Lookout. Everything was perfect. The house is well equipped, clean, comfortable and quiet. Only a two minute walk to the footbridge. Our trip centered around birding. There are several Boothbay Land Trust properties all within 10 minutes of the house. We enjoyed our time in Maine. Cant wait to come back to Maine.
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect location with such easy access to all Boothbay Harbor has to offer!
8.0 / 10.0
The house location was great. We were disappointed with the small size of shower, the poor quality of towels and poor quality of living room furniture. you should have a larger couch you can stretch out on (not a love seat) and those swivel chairs are junk. you should have dimmer switches on all high-hat lights in ceilings. The shower also had mold on the bottem 2 feet of shower - you should call your cleaning company.
10.0 / 10.0
This is really close (walkable) to town and perfect for our family of four. Would recommend!
10.0 / 10.0
Place was very cute and perfect for our family of four. Our favorite part was how close it was to the footbridge and how easy it was to walk to shops, restaurants, and our whale/puffin cruise. If you've ever traveled with young kids then you know how much less stressful it is not to have to load in and out of car seats to drive everywhere on vacation. Day trips were also easy - we walked Ocean Point and visited the Desert of Maine. On our one rainy day, the kids enjoyed the Kids cable package at the house. Would most definitely return to this one!
10.0 / 10.0
Close to shopping, restaurants and swimming. House was very clean when we arrived. Used the air conditioning units that were in closet. Great grill on back deck.
Note- no laundry or central air conditioning/ceiling fans , bring additional bath towels

My daughter and I came to Boothbay Harbor to visit the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. We found Jean's Outlook clean, bright and cheery, very comfortable. It is located a short walk to the footbridge and down town, where we ate at some wonderful restaurants and did some fun shopping! The Gardens are only a 9 minute drive; one of the very best we've seen. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Everything is within walking distance and there's a real nice grocery store close by. The Maine people were very friendly and helpful.

Clean & updated spot near the footbridge with great access to all of Boothbay Harbor!
