Downtown Boothbay is a perfectly manageable walk, the town swimming hole is even closer, and the house has a stair down to the water, where you can put in a kayak or paddleboard. We were six people (me and wife, in laws, and two teenage kids). We were not cramped, had a great time over three nights. House is not young, but it's in good condition, has a lot of character. No real neighbors to worry about, nice lawn, we saw a family of mink, went kayaking, ate lobster, shopped in boothbay harbor, had a great time.
