Description
Nestled at the heart of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, Porchside is a charming coastal residence that seamlessly blends turn-of-the-century charm with modern amenities. This upscale home offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of in-town living while maintaining a tranquil, private ambiance.
Situated just a short stroll from the bustling harbor attractions, including restaurants, shops, and delightful ice cream parlors, Porchside serves as an ideal retreat for exploring the enchanting mid-coast region of Maine. With Wiscasset a mere 13 miles away and Damariscotta just 16 miles away, the location offers easy access to neighboring towns.
Regardless of the season, Porchside provides a plethora of activities for all preferences. Whether you prefer high-energy adventures or simply unwinding amidst the scenic coastal vistas, there's something here for everyone.
As for the house itself, Porchside derives its name from its expansive covered porch and spacious second-floor deck, both perfect spots for savoring the sea breeze and harbor views. The interior exudes a fresh coastal ambiance, featuring a generously sized and uncluttered layout designed to ensure a comfortable and functional vacation experience. Additionally, the ample yard provides space for outdoor games and leisure activities, complemented by several outdoor tables for al fresco dining. Parking is available for up to four vehicles.
Inside, the fully equipped kitchen boasts a center island and gas range, seamlessly connecting to the dining room furnished with a large table ideal for shared meals or family games. The bright and inviting living room offers a cozy retreat, complete with comfortable seating arrangements (the fireplace is decorative only). A convenient 3/4 bathroom with a shower is located off the central hallway, while modern amenities such as a smart TV with reliable broadband WiFi and a full-sized laundry in the basement ensure convenience.
Upstairs, four charming bedrooms await, each appointed with comfortable beds. A full bathroom with a tub/shower serves the second floor, with three bedrooms featuring queen beds and the fourth equipped with bunk beds. The primary bedroom, accessible via a hallway doubling as an office space, also offers access to the second-floor deck.

This house was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends to see the botanical gardens lights aglow. Rooms were spacious and the set up was perfect for a gathering of a few couples and a baby. The living room was super cozy and great for socializing. We loved the little holiday decorations as well. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Would definitely return! Our stay here was fabulous from start to finish. The house is in a great location - just a few steps from the main part of town. We loved our morning jogs straight from the house, through downtown, and across the pedestrian bridge. House has personality, and is tastefully decorated. Plenty of outdoor space, and plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place!

Had a great end of summer experience with tropical storm Lee. Although many stores and restaurants closed on that Saturday on the store having this house was ideal. It was clean , spacious , had comforts of a home that we like that the storm didnt bother us. The porch was a great asset to the property , The property manager, Matt was great and communicated with us on how we are doing or have any questions . We loved the location as it was close to everything in Booth Bay Harbor . Looking forward to returning in the future

Our stay at Porchside was great! The home was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean, and quality throughout. It had most of what we needed as well as things unexpected such as a portable highchair, laundry detergent, and childrens toys. It rained most of our visit, so when the sun came out on checkout day, we were kindly allowed to keep our car parked in the driveway beyond checkout to enjoy a walk along the footbridge and around the town.

We truly appreciated our stay here - honestly couldn't have asked for better! The photos and description were spot on - and it couldn't be in a more perfect location to both walk into downtown Boothbay Harbor and enjoy some privacy on a side street. We had two families with small children staying at the house, and it was a great size; it allowed enough "spaces" (two decks, living room, outside yards) for us to spread out but also provided a close feel of gathering together. Also, it's important to note there was enough hot water to go around - which is key when a larger group like this is trying to get ready for the day or an event! The host was very responsive when we had a few questions throughout our stayand the property was very clean and organized to support an easy, smooth stay. Highly recommend!

Porchside was the most relaxing rental we have ever stayed in. It was super clean and incredibly comfortable. The entire house was well equipped and beautifully decorated. The kids enjoyed the freedom of being able to walk to town to shop or get ice cream. The roof deck was a great spot for stargazing and the covered porch was wonderful for reading or napping. We didn't want to leave!! It was just perfect!!

The team members at Maine Ski Lodging Co. are top notch! They are very responsive and they get you answers to your questions (I had a lot!) It was a pleasure working with them and it was so nice having competent people at the other end of a transcation. They put me at ease from the initial booking to check out.

Our one week stay at Porchside in Boothbay Harbor, ME was PERFECT. The house was everything we wanted..and then some! The pictures do not do it justice. The inside and ourside living areas were lovely and comfortable and it was well appointed. Not a detail left out. The yard was big and spacious and you could just park your cars in the driveway and walk everywhere for the week. We did not want to leave the beautiful house in the beautiful town.

Porchside was amazing! From the great location, amazing porch and all the little touches. Everything was clean and we felt welcomed from the moment we walked inside. This house is perfect for a group of friends or a family with children. My kids found the toys instantly and they enjoyed them all week long. Our favorite things about this house was being able to walk to everything and enjoying dinners outside on the porch playing games.
