65th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

What an incredible property! The views are amazing; what beautiful sunrises! Everything is immaculate. Plenty of room for our extended family of 8 to celebrate our parents' 65th wedding anniversary. My favorite party of the house is the sunporch, which we were able to enjoy even in the cooler weather. Paul is very responsive & quickly answered all of my questions. We would love to be able to stay here again!

Saco

The view is to die for!! We didn't use may of the amenities, so i can't comment on them. I don't think there were enough coffee mugs or forks for more than 8. It was cold, so more blankets for the cooler weather. But i10/10 recommend!

Great waterfront spot

What a great spot for viewing the ocean! The swings overlooking the bay, the outside porch, and the three-season/sun room were all fabulous place to sit and enjoy the view and sea breezes. The beach roses surrounding the property filled the air with such a beautiful fragrance. We also enjoyed taking short walks along the breakwater shoreline, and the easy stroll to the beach was so convenient. The bedrooms were cozy, but we didn't need a lot of space to sleep. The number of bedrooms was perfect for our group. The walk-in shower was surprisingly nice. The host was very quick to answer questions and went out of his way to try to help us find something we were in of for the trip. We are grateful for our wonderful time at the Boathouse Cottage.

The taste of Maine

House had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable family stay. The view from the sunporch was wonderful. The soft waves, colors of the water, and large granite rocks, with the occasional group of diving ducks and small fishing boats was a pleasant relaxing sight. We traveled to towns both north and south of Saco and found scenic sights and coastal towns. Plenty of homemade ice cream places and there are lobster rolls for $20 in a few places. We totally enjoyed it all:)

Perfect place for a beautiful view of the northeast

The house was a perfect stay for the weekend of my mom's birthday. It is very close to a few great lobster places and very spacious with lots of sitting areas inside and out. My friend spent the majority of the trip on the benches in the backyard overlooking the bay. I would absolutely stay here again.

I took a trip with my school organization officer team. The team consisted of 7 teenage girls and two adult chaperones. We all had plenty of space and enjoyed every part of this beautiful property. I highly recommend this stay for families or friends wanting a picture perfect getaway.

Relaxing & Revitalizing

The Boathouse Cottage more than lives up to its promise of being a beachfront family retreat. The house is well maintained and lovingly cared for. My brother and I spent three nights there to celebrate his birthday. The early May weather could not have been more cooperative. Indoors and out, everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay was provided. Communication with Paul, the owner/host, was outstanding. He provided detailed and helpful instructions prior to our arrival and was available by phone and very understanding when I had to contact him to report a mishap during our brief stay. I look forward to returning again.

Beautiful vacation house!

We had a wonderful time! The surrounding area has certainly been hit by some big storms lately so the neighborhood is somewhat under construction but the house was very clean and in great shape. Paul is a very kind and responsive host.
