We really enjoyed the deck and water view. The location of this house is excellent for exploring the area. The single overhead light bulb in the kitchen made it difficult to see at night especially when cooking.

We absolutely loved our family vacation on this property! It was close to Boothbay Harbor with many shops and great restaurants but away from the hustle and bustle for breathtaking ocean views. We will definitely come back.

Great place
We had a great stay at this home. The private beach was wonderful. The covered porch is huge. We spent most of out time there. The bedrooms are all a nice size. We didn't utiIize the yard, but it is large and level for outside games. My only complaint was that the bedroom mirrors were all older and fogged, and with 5 people showering in one bathroom, with no exhaust fan, it was hard to do hair and makeup. House was surface clean, but some major dust bunnies under the fuirniture.

Wonderful Cottage in East Boothbay
This is our second time staying at Linekin Vista. As before, it is a wonderfully cozy property with beautiful views, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and lovely fireplace. It is rustic, which is just what we were looking for! The owners provide lots of firewood, birdseed for the feeders, and lots of blankets to use when reading or watching the fire. The location is close enough to Boothbay Harbor to make a quick trip to town convenient. However, it is also far enough away that you get to enjoy the solitude and peace. Highest recommendation!

Lovely location
The property feels like a typical camp. Was on the rustic side (no blinds in living areas) and the sofa needs replacing. But you can’t beat the location. Ocean point neighborhood is lovely and so many things to do nearby (great restaurants -Tugs Pub, Ports of Italy, Blue Moon Cafe, Ocean Point Kitchen), Botanical Gardens, Popham Beach.

Exceeded our expectations
The house ended up being even nicer than it is in photos. It was comfortable, clean, well stocked and you can’t beat the location. I felt really spoiled having a private beach and plenty of privacy. It was so nice there that we went on far fewer excursions than we normally do on our trips to Maine, and spent a lot of time just relaxing and enjoying the views. The sunset is beautiful! We enjoyed searching for shells and beach glass, fishing, and wildlife viewing from the beach. We were on the lovely porch whenever we weren’t down by the water. I hope to come back here some day!

Amazing Week!
Enjoyed a perfect week at this lovely cottage on the quiet side of Boothbay Harbor. Relaxing, peaceful and so beautiful. Well appointed cottage with everything you might need including paper goods and trash bags. Check in was a breeze and Traci was very prompt in answering any questions we had. My 2 year old grandson loved the beach and we were so pleased with the very safe porch area for his playtime. We will certainly be returning to this perfect getaway!

What a Porch, What a Location!
This was our first time at this cottage, and we will be back next year, if we can find an opening in the schedule. This cabin is very comfortable, in so many ways. The beds were great, almost every window opened, the walk down to the beach is a bit challenging but very worth it, and the expansive porch is where we spent most of our time, watching lobsterman pulling traps and fisherman looking for supper. Our daily walks to Ocean Point were a highlight—a good workout that included amazing views of the Atlantic. It is a well-used home, so don’t come looking for perfect furnishings; it is a rustic cabin, and that’s part of its charm. (The lighting in the living room is marginal, but we didn’t spend much time there so it was a minor issue.) Finally, the house is well-outfitted for fun, and an evening of informal bocce ball was a great way to end a day.

Great Place
Wonderful location in scenic East Boothbay.
Large front yard, big deck, and access to a private beach. Watching the birds come to the bird feeder was an extra nice touch. There is a nature preserve in the neighborhood with trails. Oceanpoint Inn, with its own stunning fees of Linekin Bay, is less than a mile away.

Great cottage, great beach!
This was a classic and well-appointed Boothbay area cottage on a bluff overlooking Linekin Bay. The back porch with its view of the bay through the trees was a wonderful place to sit and relax.
We watched the sunset every evening as a close to our day - beautiful and peaceful! There are two paths down to the water but a new set of steps not shown in the photos made the final descent to the shore easier than expected. Chairs on the bluff just before the stairs were a favorite place to relax and have a shady and unobstructed view of the water. The cottage is somewhat unique in the area in that there is a pebbly beach that was accessible even at high tide. Beach chairs carried down from the house made this a great spot to sit right at the waterfront and enjoy the sun and ocean breezes.

A beautiful, rustic spot to spend your time. The cottage is great and has everything you will need. We had a fire each evening and spent a good part of our day on the deck overlooking the beautiful bay, trees, and wildlife! I would definitely book again!
