A Chic Loft overlooking the Working Waterfront

The Boat House is a home with a gallery feel, the space has soaring ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the Boothbay Shipyard, harbor and Islands beyond. There are many original oil paintings and antiques mixed with bold, modern furnishings adding to the bohemian/industrial feel. Currently there is a quiet office space on the first floor for a non profit (with no employees) with the residents occupying the building's spacious 2nd and 3rd stories. The three-story deck offers outdoor dining spaces, a gas grill and a comfortable lofty perch to take in the unique view overlooking homes, commercial buildings and the harbor.

Located near the end of Commercial Street in downtown Boothbay Harbor Maine, this unique home is close enough to walk to the center of the harbor's activities. Situated across the street from a historic shipyard, and a stone's throw from the ocean, the Boat House is a perfect getaway for families with children, pets or both.

With three bedrooms, there is plenty of space to enjoy your Maine vacation; two rooms have queen beds, and the third bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed. The Boat House has two full baths, with tub/shower combinations, one on each floor.

The Boat House does require stairs to access- it is comprised of the second and third story of a three story building. With a full kitchen, dining area and laundry facilities, and hotel quality linens, this well furnished vacation destination is sure to feel like your home away from home.

Guests of the Boat House are welcome to Topside Inn’s concierge services to help with restaurant reservations and more to help you plan a perfect Boothbay Harbor vacation. Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate guests of the three vacation homes for breakfast at the inn. Please feel free to contact us at the inn with any questions or should you need assistance with making a reservation.

beautiful boothbay stay!
We recently had friends stay at Mark and Buzz's property in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, for a long weekend, and it couldn't have been more perfect! The property exudes class and elegance in every corner, making for an incredibly comfortable and luxurious stay. The proximity to town was unbeatable, allowing our friends to easily explore all that Boothbay Harbor has to offer. They couldn't stop raving about the beautifully appointed rooms, stunning views, and top-notch amenities. This property truly made their weekend getaway an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!
Mark was an exceptional host. Everything was perfect for us. The home is in a great location, close to all the shops and restaurants. We walked nearly everywhere with a few exceptions outside of town. The cleaning was outstanding! The deck looks out onto a shipyard by the water where a boat from the 1800s was being restored. The view of the harbor is just beautiful. We LOVED our stay here. No wonder it was a resounding 5.0 star review. We give it the same rating. If you like staying in all the action of a small town this place is for you. Thanks Mark (and Buzz) for your help and your perfect hospitality.

Amazing location and a unique and comfortable home
My wife, dog and I had a great stay at Mark's Boathouse. The location is amazing as it overlooks the shipyard and harbor. The house is comfortable, clean and well appointed. It is also walking distance to anything you need, but outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown. Mark was great to work with and in touch and available without being intrusive. We would highly recommend the Boathouse and we will certainly be visiting Mark's other properties.

Terrific house, Terrific location
Wonderful house for our family of 5 adults and a miniature poodle. Previous reviews mention how clean, well appointed, and fun this house is to stay. We particularly enjoyed the upstairs TV/family room, and large dining table. In addition, we were able to easily park our 22 ft camper van and a mid size suv in the driveway next to the house. We are coming back next year. Terrific house and location!

Wonderful Location
Beautifully appointed home with comfortable and upgraded furnishings. We were visiting Boothbay for a family wedding and loved the convenience of this home to all the downtown shops and restaurants. We did have our 3 year old, 11 month old and older grandparents staying at the home with us and the spiral staircase inside is a bit difficult with young children and elders with bad knees. There are exterior stairs to access both floors so that is helpful. Just wanted to note as we were not aware the only interior staircase was a spiral one. Other than that our stay was fantastic and would recommend to other family and friends visiting the area!

The Boathouse was the Best!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Boothbay! This house was so clean…especially the bathrooms and showers! The towels and bed linens were bright white, soft, and fresh. The beds were extremely comfortable! And the location was just perfect! Quick walk to the shops and restaurants! We loved every bit of our vacation! Can’t wait to come back!

Thank you Mark for making our Christmas special. The location of this house couldn't be more perfect. A short walk to the Gardens Aglow shuttle and our favorite restaurant Ports of Italy. Although December isn't known for deck sitting the new deck is beautiful! We spent time in front of the fire enjoying the view and our time together. Looking forward to next year!

Boothbay Harbor-great location & great loft!!
If you are looking for a place to stay along the Maine coastline, this is the spot - Boothbay Harbor!! Beautiful scenery, great location to travel to attractions and the other coastal towns/villages, and a peaceful atmosphere. The property was perfect for our family of 5. Everyone had their own bed. Very soft sheets! A/C units in each bedroom were a plus. The 2 full bathrooms worked out great. Very nice towels and Beekman 1802 toiletries!! It was also nice to have the washer, dryer and detergent available to use. Enough seating in the dining area and the upstairs living room. Nice furnishings, great lighting and decorated very nice. The outdoor top deck was fantastic. The location of the property was walking distance from the downtown area of Boothbay Harbor so it was great just to walk in and go shopping, go out to eat and walk around. Definitely recommend to go in all the stores, visit Shannon's Unshelled for the best lobster roll ever and go on a Schooner sailboat ride with Eastwind. Also, the Harborside Tavern had great ribs and fish tacos/sandwich. The Boathouse Bistro Tapas Bar and Restaurant had the best mussels, and the blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup were amazing at the Blue Moon Cafe. Mark and Buzz were great hosts. Very nice people and easy to communicate with by email and text. They provided a lot of information on places to go, things to see and do and places to eat. An added perk was the discounted tickets to the Botanical Gardens and Schooner sailboat ride. My family and I were very happy that the property was available for our first trip to Maine. No question about it, just book it ;)

Best home in the best town on the Maine coast
This property is breathtaking. From the 3rd floor balcony to the spacious living area and two full baths, it provided everything we needed and more. It's a short 5-min walk from the shops and is across from a historic shipyard which lets you appreciate one of Maine's oldest industries. Boothbay harbor is the best town on the coast (and we've seen a few!) providing the best in food and recreation. From the moment we booked, Mark was very communicative and provided every bit of info we needed. Checkin was seamless and he even offered to tell us a bit about the town and the best spots.
