The sunroom is a unique space with screens to let the ocean breeze in and ceiling shades if the sun gets too hot. The back deck has a picnic table and gas grill for outdoor barbecuing. You will also find an outdoor shower and a dock overlooking the tidal waterfront. The dock space can be a great spot for enjoying the sun or late afternoon cocktails. The house features one floor living with an open kitchen/dining area, a separate living room, 3 bedrooms, and one full bath. Guests have access to the basement and laundry.

Walk across the footbridge and you are in the center of Boothbay Harbor. Less than a mile away and only a 2-minute drive is Barrett Park. It offers plenty of green space and little beaches, walking trails, and picnic spots.

Check out the Boothbay Lobster Wharf only 1/2 mile away where you call and order your cooked lobsters or pick them up live to take back home with you.

Boothbay Harbor is known as the boating capital of Maine, and was named as one of Yachting Magazine's '50 Best Towns'. Boasted as "the soul of the coast," our picturesque harbor offers guests all the amenities of a bustling waterfront. The area's rocky coastline speckled with lighthouses, coves, inlets, and islands make it a memorable vacation destination. We are home to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, rated #1 in the country by Trip Advisor, and the newly renovated golf course at the Boothbay Harbor Country Club. From your East Side Cove vacation retreat, you can walk across the footbridge to the center of town and check out the shops or take a boat tour to Burnt Island, go whale watching, or take a sail.

This property books Friday to Friday and a minimum of 7 nights always.

Guests have access to the entire home and yard with the exception of one closet.

We are available 24/7 during your stay. Upon arrival, Wendy or Judy will meet you at the house to transfer keys and answer any questions you may have.

East Side Cove is within walking distance of several endearing restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also conveniently located next to a scenic footbridge that takes you across the harbor to the center of Boothbay Harbor where you can enjoy boutiques, boat excursions, more restaurants, ice cream, and saltwater taffy.

East Side Cove offers plenty of parking and the footbridge allows for you to avoid the hassle of finding a parking space in town. There is also a free trolley on the west side of the harbor that takes you around town.

Great Few Days in Boothbay Harbor
The location of this property was perfect for us -- two couples who wanted easy access to Boothbay Harbor with no parking or traffic hassles. We walked around the corner for wonderful breakfasts and across the pedestrian bridge for excellent dinners. The house was spacious and comfortable, with a covered porch facing the water.

Great location on Boothbay Harbor, close to everything
We stayed here over the long Labor Day weekend with 4 people. The house has plenty of space and the best location in town: a quick walk over the footbridge into town yet quiet at night, right on the water with a dock and kayaks, or a few steps to Mama D's for breakfast or to fresh lobster. Plenty of outdoor and indoor space and, multiple parking spots. The house has original charm with a nicely updated bathroom; the rest is a bit corky but fully functional and spotlessly clean. Beds were also comfortable. Very easy communication with the rental company who made sure we had a great stay. Overall I highly recommend this place and would stay there again.

Great location!!! September 9th -16th 2022
Really liked this property. You couldn't ask for a better location. And the view was beautiful. The sun room was a wonderful place to have my morning tea and afternoon break. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The two issues that I had were that more windows should had screens on them and that there was only one air conditioner (none in any bedroom) I do understand that because of the type of windows but, again, couldn't open the one set of windows because of lack of screens. This would not stop us from staying here again since the pros out weighed the cons. The property manager was very nice and check in/out was a breeze. Had a wonderful time and enjoyed staying here.

Convenience and beauty
What's not to love about this property? This lovely home was more than suitable for me, my wife, and our little pup, Daisy. A few key reasons we chose this property: the location - short walk to all Boothbay Harbor has to offer, the view - the sunroom and dining room have terrific harbor views, and the dog - we were so happy to find a place we could vacation to with our dog. Everything was clean, it was great to be able to toss laundry in so we could pack less, and we enjoyed our coffee or cocktails in the sunroom every day. A very friendly neighborhood, contact-less check in, and very clean property. The shower pressure was terrific too! From this location, we made several walking trips to town for fabulous food & shopping (Boat House Bistro / Ports of Italy were our fav's), and some local car rides to Reid State Park, Gliddon Point Oysters, downtown Damariscotta, and up to Acadia (2 1/2 hrs). Spent an entire week, and still had things we didn't get to, which makes it attractive to come back. Help out the cleaning staff by tossing your towels into the washer on the day you check out. We'd love to go back to this property and highly recommend it.

Another wonderful week
We have rented this specific property before - we came back for the convenient location, the fantastic sun room with the view of the harbor (from which I could keep an eye on the kids happily paddling around the protected end of the harbor or collecting shells while enjoying my coffee and a book) and the friendly ease of working with Wendy and Kim - we are already thinking about a return trip!!

Great house on the water
House was perfect for our family vacation. The kids loved the kayaks and it was so peaceful to be right on the water. We enjoyed walking across to town and grilling out on the deck! Would highly recommend this home.
