Situated in the heart of downtown Boothbay Harbor, this newly renovated two-story apartment occupies the top two floors of a lovely coastal home built in 1894. The apartment combines unique design elements with high-end touches that include deluxe appliances and modern rustic furnishings. With room for eight, a fabulous downtown location and on-site parking, this apartment has it all. And feel free to bring your four-legged friends. Our property is ultra pet-friendly.

ABOUT THE HOUSE

There’s a fresh fun feel throughout this beautifully furnished home with rustic barrel-themed decor and lots of windows overlooking the harbor.

After a day on the ocean, cook a hearty meal in the haute kitchen with slate countertops from Monson, Maine, wood cabinetry, and upscale appliances. Serve meals at the dining table set beneath a one-of-a-kind pendant chandelier. A stained glass window casts beautiful light through the dining room and provides a sneak-peak at the back deck with bistro seating for six.

In the living area, curl up on a large sectional sofa. Play a hand of cards around the re-purposed wine barrel coffee table or unwind in front of the wall-mounted TV. There’s even a wine barrel dog bed nearby for your furry friend!

A sunny 2nd floor deck offers a tranquil spot to catch the coastal breeze.

The master bedroom is located on the main level and furnished with a queen-size bed, sitting chair, and dresser. A novel barrel-themed sink and tile shower complete the en-suite bathroom. Main level also has a convenient half-bath with marble sink and quirky décor.

The upper floor has two bedrooms and full bath that includes an original claw-foot tub with shower combination. There is also a perfect area to view the harbor and watch the boats go by. The bunk room is great for kids with two twin-over-twin bunk beds, bean bag chairs, and classic board games. A tastefully appointed third bedroom features a queen-size bed, unique teak bench, and a spectacular 5-foot round window with sweeping view of the inner harbor.

EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS

Amenities include a washer/dryer, bike rack, and parking space for two cars. All bedrooms and living spaces have individual heat and A/C units so occupants can adjust temperature to their liking.

This rental is accessed via a flight of stairs.

THE LOCATION

With a fantastic downtown location and on-site parking, you can easily explore the best of Boothbay Harbor on foot. Book whale watching trips with Cap'n Fish and go in search of minke and humpback whales surfacing along the Maine coastline. Or head to Schooner Eastwind and enjoy tours around the Burnt and Ram island lighthouses.

Our central location is also just a short stroll from local shops, independent retail stores and fabulous restaurants. For traditional Italian classics, walk next door to Ports of Italy or a short walk to Harborside Tavern for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can also indulge on specialty foods at Eventide or buy a special treat for your furry friend at Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters (both located across the street). Visit Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, which hosts Garden's Aglow and Festival of Lights in Boothbay Harbor.

Top Shelf!!!!!
Buddy's is the premier location to stay in Boothbay!! If you are traveling with your dog, you will feel most welcome. The home is gorgeous, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need, from napkins to ziplocs and lobster crackers. Views are amazing and the location is perfection. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future. Thank you for having us!

Fantastic Property in Boothbay Harbor
Buddy's Barrel House is just about perfect. The century old home is renovated beautifully with no detail regarding comfort or quality overlooked. We loved the location just steps from the thriving Harbor town of Boothbay Harbor with access to many excellent restaurants and shops. I think that the property would work well for most groups with the exception of someone who requires handicap access. I am looking forward to returning there again.

Perfect Spot and Beautiful Home
This home was perfect for our stay in downtown Boothbay Harbor. It is a block to the waterfront, and all the shops and restaurants are at your doorstep. Aside from the perfect location, the home is beautifully designed. Every detail has been considered (even in the architecture and decorating), and all amenities are provided, tons of towels, even a bluetooth speaker to connect for music. There is laundry on the bottom floor of the shared entrance, but we were the only ones using it and it was not an issue to be on the first shared floor. The kids/bunk room had plenty of space for our pack and play for our infant, night lights, etc. Two parking spaces right in front of the unit is also a premium in Boothbay Harbor, as general parking is hard to find. This is a major plus. We will definitely stay in this unit again on our return to Boothbay. Thank you!

Buddy’s barrel house
The apartment was perfectly situated in the middle of downtown Boothbay harbor. The facilities were of a high standard and beautifully decorated. Frodo our dog loved to hang out on the deck watching the passers by.
