This was the perfect place to stay for my husband and I. We are active seniors in good health and had no trouble with navigating the flight of a dozen stairs up to this beautiful, private efficiency apartment. It is located in a separate addition to the hosts' home and had all the amenities we needed for our stay (full kitchen, comfortable pull-out couch for sleeping, spacious shower, heated towel rack, ceiling fan and AC, WiFi and TV, distant views of the harbor, etc.). We liked the location as we could easily navigate the short walk (about 10 minutes) to downtown Boothbay Harbor which is filled with many quaint shops, delicious restaurants, pretty waterfront views, and access to kayak rentals, sailboat cruises and whale watches. It is also a short drive to the nearby Botanical Gardens, Ocean Point walking trail, and the town of Southport. It was a pleasure to meet hosts Abbie and Brian. They were available on site if needed and were respectful of our privacy. Both the check-in and check-out processes were seamless. We are planning a return stay at "Hawk's Nest" apartment in the near future.
