We thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay in Boothbay Harbor. This house places you right downtown where all things fun-to-do happen. It's location is the best feature -- we were literally within walking distance of everything the bay has to offer. And when we weren't participating in the activities, we enjoyed just sitting on the lovely porch, overlooking the bay, and observing all the other tourists struggle to find a parking place. The next best feature of the house is the porch. We sat for hours reading, knitting (me not him), and just people watching. Right from the porch you can see the harbor boats coming and going all day long. There's quite a bit of street noise but that just adds to the ambiance of being in the center of things. Thirdly, our apartment was clean and comfortable -- a little quirky with its 1947 Kelvinator and the European washer/dryer -- the bed was very comfortable and being from Florida we loved being able to sleep with the windows and doors open letting in the ocean breeze. Finally, our hosts (Tom and Ruthie) were a delight. Tom was very helpful and pleasant and even included us in a reception he held in the main part of the house. And, Ruthie (dog), was the greeter every time we came in the door. What a sweet dog she is -- I will miss her. We loved BH -- we walked the entire city many times and sat on the opposite side of the bay for long periods. The Farmers Market is an additional surprise with great artisan breads and treats to purchase. No doubt - if you go, you'll love it! We hope to return in the near future. Thanks, TOM!!!

My wife and I stayed at 29 Mckown Street for three nights in June 2018. The location was the absolute best. From the second floor balcony, the view in the picture is exactly what you get. You are so close to the activities of the harbor yet far enough away to lose any noise or activity that might disturb you. The bed was very comfortable and the second floor unit had all that was necessary to make for a very cozy stay. All necessary utensils if you desired to make any meals, all linens, all other typical household items were supplied. This sure beats a single hotel room for comfort and the feeling of a home. We normally look for places out of town for the quietness, but this place has us rethinking that approach. It was so nice to get up, have coffee on the second floor deck, then walk off into the town to explore. After exploring, a short walk has you back at the unit with space and comfort to relax, regroup and plan more activities. We would not hestitate to come back here again.

this is our second stay at 29 McKown st. So needless to say we do enjoy it. The location is great, everything is within walking distance and , Tom and his sidekick, Ruthie, are great host and "hostess". tom is always willing to suggest something fun or a great place to eat after a long day. if you are thinking of staying in Boothbay, this is a great place to be!

Great location, right in the center of town, lots to do within walking distance. Comfortable rooms, and a wonderful deck with a view of the harbor, perfect for a drink or a book. And best of all,, a friendly, helpful host, always available but always discreet. It was a perfect stay.

I walked, I ate, I sailed, I napped, I shopped, I listened to concerts and saw the fireworks from the balcony. I loved my visit to 29 McKown Street in Boothbay Harbor. Tom and Ruthie (his Westie) were wonderful hosts. It was a perfect "I" vacation. The apartment was clean and close to everything. I hope I can get back soon. Gail from Florida July 2017

Would recommend for any couple to stay and enjoy Boothbay Harbor area. Less than two blocks walk to the boats to go out in the harbor whale watch, seals, lighthouses hauling up Lobster cages. The botanical gardens the aquarium Lobster Co-op lobster for $7 a pound can't beat it. The Farmers Market on Thursday just outside of Boothbay within a couple miles farmers market, it's very nice fresh produce, sausage, cheese,homemade breads I would like to go back for that. Can't list everything you have to go and check it out yourself two thumbs up

My husband and I rented the 2nd story apartment. It was so sweet! Very clean and well-maintained. You have everything you need: A nice-sized living room, kitchen and dining for 2, one bedroom and a full bath. You can see the harbor from the deck. Net-flix is a luxury for us and we enjoyed it on one of our days there. You can walk to everything. This was a first for us and it was sweet not to have to jump in the car, at a whim! We went to a couple of the restaurants for breakfast (blueberry pancakes:) and dinner (seafood). Caught lunch while we were traveling nearby...The bed was so comfortable and I was wondering what we were sleeping on. So, when I stripped the bed at the end of our stay:(, I saw the secret! Now the cat/dog is out of the bag! What's the secret??? Well, you'll just have to rent this little gem and find out for yourself:)! Tom is so nice. He brought us some English Muffins and cookies. Ruthie (the Westie) is so sweet too. Yes, I would definitely recommend this to my friends/relatives. Marge and Doug, Baltimore, MD. P.S. I loved running into Queen Elizabeth waving from the window!

Our stay at 29 McKown st., proved to be a perfect choice. The location was right where we wanted to be and Tom and his sidekick Ruthie, were the perfect host's. Everthing that you would want to do, was within walking distance. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Tom,thanks for all your suggestion to fill in our spare time. We hope to see you again.

If anyone is going to Boothbay Harbor Maine, look no further for a place to stay. The location is the best in town in my opinion, and you could not ask for a better host than Tom. He is very helpful and knows the area like the back of his hand. His accommodations are clean and Homey. Make sure you bring some baby carrots for Ruthie.

After our 2 week stay, it was hard to say goodbye to our 2nd floor apartment at 29 McKown. Tom was welcoming, as was Ruthie, his 4-legged side-kick. The apartment is spacious & well appointed. The best feature is the front deck overlooking the harbor & the quaint town. We ate breakfast & most dinners out there, sipped wine & did some excellent people watching. Location, location, location! We walked & walked and after our days out and about, our apartment was wonderful to come home to. We were comfortable from the moment we arrived and look forward to our return.

We absolutely loved this property! The location was fantastic, and Tom(the owner) was hospitable and ready with a fix when we asked. We had a fabulous view of Boothbay Harbor, and a wonderful balcony to enjoy morning breakfast and afternoon drinks! We were sad to leave, it was a great "home away from home" for our month long stay. My husband and I each give Tom (and Ruthie!) two thumbs up. We couldn't have been more pleased!

My wife and I just spent 4 nights in Boothbay Harbor and loved both the area and Tom's place. Bright ,clean,-it was great. Tom was a wonderful source of info concerning area attractions and dining, and having "Ruthie" greet us when we would come in was a treat.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at 29 Mckown for two wonderful days. What a gem of a special Maine harbor town and what gem of a place to stay! Tom provided such great local information which made our trip even better. Our short trip so great we realized two days was not enough. We stayed in the second floor apartment and wow, so very cozy, comfortable, spacious and with reserved parking. The view of the harbor and town from the deck is fantastic. The great shops and great restaurants are just steps away. Tom had recommended Ports of Italy for their great Italian cuisine. It was exquisite, such great food and casual attire acceptable. We have very high expectations when we travel and 29 Mckown far exceeded those expectations. Thank you again Tom for making this possible and please give Ruthie another well deserved treat.

Had a most wonderful week in Boothbay staying in the spacious, clean and well accommodated property that has the best views! Tom was the perfect host along with Heidi his assistant in the office and Ruthie the Westie who seems to think she is in charge. We had daily visits from Tom and Ruthie and they were the highlights of the morning. Tom had plenty of information to guide on us the best excursions and tastiest restaurants to fill our stay. The last evening on our trip for the week Tom cordially invited us to partake dinner with a few of his friends for a quite delicious home cooked dinner on the main floor and we had a marvelous time. I have been making trips to Boothbay for 50 years or so now since a young child with the family and I cannot think of a better stay in all those years. We will most definitely stay here in all of our future trips. Tom......we can't thank you enough, see you soon.

It was a perfect week in the perfect location! Tom was an excellent host and provided a terrific list of things to do and see. (Trust him on the restaurants - he knows his stuff! ) The apartment was comfy and cozy and the deck was spacious and relaxing with a great view. If you like being in the center of things, this is the place to be!

Jim and I very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely, spacious apartment. The view to the harbor from the balcony was beautiful and there was no shortage of things to do, even without a car. Tom (and Ruthie, his adorable Westie!) was a great host, making us feel comfortable and at home. He had plenty of suggestions of places to eat and go. We took in a lively jazz concert at the BB opera house, a five minute walk up the main road. The Friends of the BB Library has a great used bookstore right across the street. We took a two hour sailboat ride on the Lazy Jack, that pulls right out of the harbor several times a day. We kayaked, visited lighthouses, hiked and then slept restfully each night on the most comfortable bed! There is plenty of room for two people in this unit, and I loved the big bathroom. It was a super week, and we weren't ready to leave the following Saturday. We're already thinking about reserving our week for next year. Thanks Tom.....you, Heidi and Ruthie felt like old friends by the time we left.
