This luxury retreat in the heart of the Mid-Coast, Captain's Quarters, is an 1800s Boothbay Harbor cottage offering historic charm, modern furnishings, air-conditioning, and a prime locale looking directly out to the footbridge and across the street from the bay. A peaceful coastal getaway awaits, and you're only a short walk to the downtown shops and dining. You'll find a local brunch hot spot and a spa at your doorstep. When the day is done, head across the street to the sunset chairs providing the best view in town of the footbridge. Play golf or go sailing. Walk a half mile to Commercial Street and choose from whale watching at Maine Whale Watch, several great cruise operators, or renting a boat at Schooner Eastward.

Unwind into vacation mode in the modern living area. In the evening, listen to music on the Sonos system or settle in to stream a movie on the 55" 4k smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, and all of today's online entertainment. Prepare your favorite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring an array of helpful appliances, including a dishwasher. Or, keep mealtime simple and sizzle burgers on the shared gas grill on the patio behind the building.

Each bedroom in this three-story home has a smart TV, bedside USB charging, and Bluetooth music systems. Find comfort in the primary suite, which has an en suite bathroom accessible via the hallway. A guest bedroom features a telescope for gazing out to the sites in the harbor.

Extra perks include a washer/dryer, complimentary commercial-grade WiFi, and a backup generator.
