Stunning Views with Walks to the Beach and a short walk to pay and play tennis

Located in East Boothbay on breathtaking Ocean Point sits this traditional cottage with three porches. Enjoy the view from the screened porch off the kitchen, the covered porch at the front of the house, or on cool days enjoy the view from inside the cozy windowed porch. Inside you`ll find 5 bedrooms, 2 bath and stainless appliances. ​

Built in the 1880s, Three Porches was at one time a lodging for summer visitors called `Millinocket Lodge`. It became our owner`s family summer home in the early 1950s.

It`s a 15 minute walk to Grimes Cove where you can swim and walk along the rocks. When you are ready to leave the Point, it`s a 7-mile drive to downtown Boothbay Harbor.

We are available 24/7 during your stay.

IMPORTANT:
To ensure peace of mind during your stay, we offer two options for damage protection: a small, one-time non-refundable Accidental Damage Waiver (our most convenient and guest-preferred option) or a fully refundable Security Deposit, returned after your stay if no damage is reported. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll be prompted to complete this step.
Courtesy quiet hours start at 10 p.m. per local ordinance.
Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the property.

Family Vacation

Our family of 8 stayed at the property. It wss perfect for us. Each couple had a room and each 'kid' had their own room. That was an added plus. The layout of the house was perfect for watching and listening to the ocean as well as dinners together. Plenty of space. Views were amazing from most of the house! Great quiet, friendly area. Would definitely stay again!

Incredible location

It is a great house. I would suggest having twin beds in one or two of the second floor bedrooms would give greater flexibility. The second floor front bedroom, on the left facing the ocean, is pressing on the electrical outlet. But other than those minor issues, bravo!!!

Amazing!

The view is unbeatable. This is an authentic Maine cottage. The floor plan has tons of space. The bedrooms are well outfitted with beautiful bedding and spectacular views from every room. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you might need or want. I also really appreciated having starter supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms- truly thought if everything you might need. The team was very friendly, responsive and accommodating to our special requests. I will definitely rent again and can’t wait to go back.

Perfect location and a welcoming home

With 9 people to satisfy, we departed with very fond memories of a wonderful week. The home was clean, well-adorned and nicely furnished. All bedrooms had ocean views and the top room even had an air-conditioner. There was plenty of warm water available for the entire clan for showers. The kitchen was well furnished and the porch was an ideal place for watching the lobster boats in the morning and chatting with the passers-by at all other times. One can see two lighthouses from this same porch. The Ocean Point Inn is just a short stroll away for any meals out or late-night drinks.

Wonderful Visit to Three Porches

When you think about staying in Maine, your mind automatically goes to the water with a rustic feel and becomes one with your surroundings. Well, we can tell you Three Porches gave you this in spades. It’s a beautiful setting right on the harbor in an older home that has been kept up with all your possible needs. We used the house to stage a family reunion with 10 of us at the home, and at no time did we feel cramped or on top of each other. The serine setting made you feel one with nature, but you were only 15 minutes from Boothbay Harbor, so there was always something to do. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could have wanted to prepare meals, the only thing missing was the lobster. We are already looking forward to staying there again next year.

Great place!

We really enjoyed our time at Three Porches. The house has a wonderful view of the ocean at the end of a peninsula. We enjoyed walking along the rocks at low tide and enjoyed the sunsets. While the house is along the road the traffic is slow and minimal with more walkers and runners than cars. It was lovely to listen to the waves with the windows cracked at night and watch the lobster boats while we had our morning coffee on the front porch. We loved the charm of an older home. While not everyone may appreciate creaky wood floors and the rustic coastal vibe, we really enjoyed it. The top two bedrooms are accessed by a steep, narrow staircase, which may not be suitable for all, especially if you need to use the bathroom at night which is on the floor below. The size of the room and view of the ocean made up for the inconvenience, in my opinion, but I know neither of my septuagenarian family members felt comfortable navigating the stairs at night and therefore chose other bedrooms. There were six bedrooms in total. All of them were lovely, though five were on the smaller side and one had a squeaky bed. We only had five people in our group and no couples, so there was plenty of room for us and no one had to use the squeaky bed. There is one full bathroom on the second floor with four of the bedrooms and a full bathroom on the first floor. This was fine for our group and is part of the experience with an older home. The rental company was very communicative and available. Thanks!
