Perfect home

Everything about the home and the location was amazing. Good central location for a day trips. Only complaint is the keypad did not work and it took us about 30 minutes to get into the house. Other than that everything was wonderful.

Charming cottage and great location

We had a great week staying there with our family. The cottage is very charming. We loved the step down large livingroom. The kitchen was open with enough counter space. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials as well. A lot of natural light all day. The patio was well done. We enjoyed grilling and eating outside and sitting around on the outdoor sectional. Shower was a little small but the water pressure was strong that made up for it. Overall we were very pleased with the place and would stay there again.

Wonderful house, good location, not impressed by the landlord company

The house is just beautiful and was very clean, very comfortable, we loved it. The shower stall is very small. The location is nice but not really walkable to anywhere. Communication with Vacasa, however, is not great. They reply much better before you book and maybe the first day and then - not anymore... There were some issues and they sent only auto replies and no real answers. Not really issues with the house, the house is rather perfect.

A lovely stay

It was a perfect spot to stay slightly out of the congestion of Downtown Booth at Harbor but definitely close enough to go every night for a walk through the shops. A great stay. We'll definitely be back.

Great Getaway

We visited for three days over the Fourth of July. Perfect location for exploring Boothbay and the surrounding area. Ample space for two couples and children or another couple (in twin beds.) The kitchen is equipped for any meal. BYO coffee!

Great spot in Boothbay Harbor

This house is adorable and so comfy. We loved the backyard and the bedrooms were all very nice. The only downside is the bathroom. The shower is tiny and a little old. Other than that it’s a fabulous house.

Perfect summer getaway

We loved our stay at Firehouse Cottage. Perfectly appointed with a wonderful great room and decorated to remind you that you’re on the Maine coast. The outdoor space was lovely and there was plenty of space for our group of 6. Would love to return again!

Loved the Firehouse Cottage!

This was a great place for our stay in Maine. We had 4 adults and 2 children. The grandkids loved the place. The floor plan was open with plenty of seating in the living areas. Nice outdoor patio, too. We would definitely consider booking this again.

Great House in Boothbay Harbor

This is a wonderful rental in Boothbay Harbor. Really comfortable and clean, and close to downtown, restaurants, beaches and hikes. There was a lot of space for our family of four, and we loved having the outdoor space and two separate sitting areas to hang out. We will be back!

Cute and Close to Town

Adorable firehouse cottage - downstairs is really expansive with the sitting room in the open kitchen plus a sunken family room. Upstairs are three bedrooms sharing one bathroom off a small hallway, so if you’re looking for a ton of privacy, keep that in mind, but it was perfect for our family weekend.

Firehouse Cottage Rental

The Firehouse Cottage was a very comfortable rental. Cute decorations, clean, and very spacious. We really enjoyed having 3 separate bedrooms and the great room to relax in for the evenings. We did encounter a few issues during our stay but TurnKey was very prompt in responding and coming up with solutions. Would definitely stay here again!
