Perfect location for hanging out in Boothbay for a couple of days. Step out the front door and you are a few houses from all the shops. Easy to get on a tour boat and restaurants were great!!! Breakfast like all of the other reviews was amazing and worth the stay. Quiet and relaxing!

In the heart of Boothbay Harbor. Jo made an incredible breakfast every morning, and was AWESOME with my wife's allergies. It's a B&B, so its an old building, but had everything we needed!

Booth Bay

Captain Sawyers B&B is the best location on the bay. View of the water and easy walk through town. We really enjoyed upper and lower porch for reading and fresh air, with or without sun. Lovely breakfast. Walked to dinner at Ports of Italy and Coastal Prime. Great visit.

The location of the property is excellent. Nice to have private parking at the property because parking in Boothbay harbor is a nightmare! The staff is very helpful and kind. The room size was small and for the price we paid I expected a larger room. The breakfast offerings were fantastic!

It was well located in the center of the town. Breakfast was very good. The room was small, but it was advertised as such. The #1 restaurant in the town was located adjacent to the property. Tour and sail boats were located within easy walking distance. It is an interesting and unique town to visit.
