Downtown Boothbay Harbor, The Francis Greene House
Charming and spacious 2-story, 3-bedroom house located at 40 Oak Street in Boothbay Harbor (you can google map the address and click "street view" to view the house, property and neighborhood). Just a 5-minute leisurely stroll to the harbor, restaurants and shops, the house has high grand ceilings and comfortable beds. There is a big deck with a grill and fabulous views of the bucolic surroundings. There is also a nice sunroom with stunning views of historic Oak Street. Parking is an ongoing issue in downtown Boothbay Harbor, but not here. We have ample parking for 3 vehicles.
Fantastic location perched on a hill just above Boothbay Harbor, short walk down the hill to everything. We loved the kitchen and the deck space. One thing to note that wasn't disclosed in the listing is the deck is a shared space with a tenant who lives next door, we only saw them once when they complained that we had put our trash in the wrong can. Shared spaces should always be disclosed up front. Bedrooms were all very comfortable, and house is nicely renovated. Would definitely stay again!
We had a wonderful two nights at this gem. Just a short walk to downtown, we were able to easily do some shopping and sightseeing. Our first night we barbecued on the deck, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. May places to chill out at this home, great seating and tables for playing games as well. Wouldnât hesitate to choose this home again!!
Perfect spot for our weekday get away. Walking distance to all the locations we needed. I would suggest an updated photo of the exterior of the property. We drove by ans missed the driveway,because the property was very unlike the image posted.
Excellent location with large rooms and comfortable furnishings. This was our 2nd stay as we thoroughly enjoyed our previous one 2 years ago. Ample parking and an easy walk to shops and restaurants.
The house was in a great location, close to restaurants and shops. We walked downtown. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again.
It was our third time staying on this property...the beds are so comfortable we didn't want to leave...the house is located a nice distance from town...a quick 5 minute walk...just far enough away you don't hear any in town noises at night..sunrises in the porch or dining room are beautiful...already planning our next trip there
My family was very happy with our stay. The house was pleasant, clean, and well-maintained. The hosts were easy to reach with any questions, and were happy to share info about the Boothbay area. If you want to stay in Boothbay, you can't beat the location -- it's a quck walk to the center of town.
The house is in a great location near the center! We liked the set-up of the house and it was really nice to have the patio too. Overall, an excellent trip!
Good location, walking distance to town. Great deck with privacy. Nice back yard with a fire pit nicely landscaped. Would recommend and we would definitely stay again. Beds were all comfortable. Our family truly enjoyed the stay. Only one issue our stay just wasnât long enough!!
The house was ready on time and clean...location was perfect for great walks through town... kitchen has plenty of the essentials.. owner has a wonderful response rate and gave us several ideas on where to have a great dinner...already looking forward to our next trip..
this is the second year we have stayed at this house. it is the perfect location, a 5 minute walk to town. the house itself is everything the website says it is, it is great. the owner david is very helpful and always answers any questions right away. i would highly recommend this house.
We had a lovely stay in Boothbay Harbor. The house is very conveniently located walking distance to the center of town and the ferries. The kitchen, with bbq, was easy to use for cooking. Bedrooms were comfortable. The living room furniture could use a refresh, but was functional.
David was also very responsive.
We had a wonderful time. Dave was so helpful with answering questions. More than one living area so we could spread out. Walking distance to town. Couldn't be more satisfied.
Overall the house was ok. Itâs in a great location to walk to shops and restaurants. The toilet in one bathroom had not been cleaned in a while and the shower in the downstairs bathroom had obviously not been cleaned before our stay. Not filthy but obviously missed during any pre arrival cleaning. Beds were comfortable and parking was no problem at the house. Overall not a bad house, but cleaning service needs to be addressed.
Although owners were kind, property seemed to have been in the midst of cleaning when cleaner left. Garbage had been left on the porch and dirty linens left in a bag in the kitchen. Appliances hadnât been cleaned, there was evidence of rodents, and bed linens had stains. When we arrived, the door with the lockbox was double locked, and we were not able to get in until we discovered that the side doors had been left unlocked. This all left us feeling unsafe. We decided not to stay and were issued a full refund.
Apparently the previous tenants damaged the property.
The place was not clean, furniture is outdated, the main TV would not work per the instructions, and the dishwasher was broken. It took some effort but the owner replaced the TV remote and tried to fix the DW but was unable. Somehow we missed the fact that it is NOT air conditioned.
Great location, within 5-minute walk to harbor, shops, and lots of dining.
However, while the bathrooms, kitchen and floors were pretty clean, the house had not been dusted in a very long time. All tabletops, windowsills, lamps, fan blades and furniture were very dusty. This house sleeps six but there is enough furniture for many more which causes sitting rooms to feel crowded. There are three big chairs positioned in the corners of the breakfast room that should be in a living room and are in the way. The king-sized bed is too big for the room to the point that you are not able to access the closet, at least not very easily. There are, however, multiple dressers with drawers if you want to unpack. Itâs just very inconvenient to hang any clothes in the primary bedroom. The two other rooms with queen beds were comfortable. There is no A/C, so you are at the mercy of a cool breeze. There are a lot of windows which Iâm sure most of the time would allow for sufficient cooling. Maybe this is not an issue most years, but the last week of June into July of 2024 was pretty warm in Maine.
this was our 3rd year staying at this house. it is great. the owner is wonderful to work with. answers every question almost immediately. the location is perfect walking distance to town. highly recommend
We loved staying here and it was perfect location within walking distance to downtown boothbay harbor. House was very clean with good size bedrooms and 2 full bath. Would highly recommend!
This property was perfect. We have been going to Boothbay Harbor for 35 years and this home was one of the best. Location was amazing, short walk to town and harbor. The house was clean and welcoming. Great stay!
Itâs on a half acre of beautiful land on a hill. The house it very spacious with high ceilings and many rooms and privacy nooks. There is nothing like it in Boothbay Harbor
