Boothbay Harbor is a peninsula with incredible ocean views, wonderful restaurants, lighthouses (because Maine), boat tours, as many lobsters as you can eat, and a chance to go island hopping. There is also a world-class botanical garden. There are art galleries, local shops, antique stores, and as many nautical-themed stores as you could imagine for you to stroll in and out of.
The house is located 5 minutes from Boothbay Harbor in the town of Boothbay. The benefit is that you get to stay close to all the action but without the noise and tourists and with private parking. The house is very spacious with 2,500 square feet, and a half an acre to enjoy. There's a large backyard and deck.
