About this property

Water`s Edge on Pratts Island

  • Enjoy a relaxing waterfront getaway at Water`s Edge on Pratts Island, a spacious oceanfront retreat just a short drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor. With beautiful water views, plenty of room for family and friends, and a wonderful mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, this property is a great place to unwind and enjoy the best of the Maine coast. You`ll be close to local restaurants, shops, scenic hiking trails, boat tours, and all the fun things to explore throughout the Boothbay region.

    The main house is full of beautiful craftsmanship, with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, oversized picture windows, and a stunning granite stone fireplace. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, making it a great spot to prepare meals and gather with your group. The first floor has a primary bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom, along with an additional half bath. Upstairs, you`ll find three more bedrooms: one with a queen and twin bed, one with two twin beds, and one with a queen bed. Both a Keurig and a regular drip coffee maker are available for your morning coffee.

    There`s even more room to spread out with two additional sleeping spaces. The Annex is a cozy loft apartment with a king bed, private bathroom, and balcony overlooking the water. The separate bunkhouse offers two sets of bunk beds and an outdoor shower, making it a fun space for kids or extra guests. Please note that Wi-Fi is not available in either the Annex or the bunkhouse.

    Outside, there`s plenty of space to enjoy the waterfront setting. The property features a large oceanfront lawn, patio furniture, several seating areas, and an outdoor dining space for four. There`s also plenty to keep everyone entertained, including a whiffle ball field, volleyball net, and ping pong table. If you bring your own kayak or canoe, you`re welcome to launch right from the property. If you need a rental, we recommend checking with our local friends at Maine Kayak in Boothbay Harbor.

    Guests also have access to the shared dock and float, which are shared with three neighboring homes. Please keep in mind that boats cannot be tied to the dock except for loading and unloading. If you plan to use the mooring, you`ll need to arrange your own transportation to and from your boat. Kayaks and canoes must be kept in the water and tied up rather than stored on the dock.

    Located just a 10-minute drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor, Water`s Edge on Pratts Island offers the perfect balance of peaceful coastal seclusion and easy access to local shops, restaurants, and attractions. Just a couple of minutes down the road, you`ll find Hendricks Head Beach and Lighthouse, along with the Southport General Store—a great spot to grab a sandwich and a few treats before heading out to explore.

    With its spacious accommodations, beautiful waterfront setting, and plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the outdoors, Water`s Edge is a wonderful place to make lasting Maine memories.

Spectacular views from this comfortable and well equipped beach house. Great kitchen, beds were fine and plenty of space for the nine of us. I would go back in a heartbeat, but not until the massive construction job next door is done. Construction noise started first thing on Monday morning and went on till dark every day. Woke to the sound of blessed silence on Saturday and realized how disruptive the noise was.

A very special place in the world

We decided to spend my husband's 50th birthday and Fathers Day weekend with 4 of our closest friends and families. We had an absolute blast. The property is beautiful and the views are stunning. It's a great place for a large gathering - plenty of places to be, depending on your mood. We loved every minute of it! I highly recommend it as a great place to hang out with friemds and family!

Family Vacation to Celebrate my 90th Birthday (at 92 &1/2)

This was our first full family gathering since 2016,although there were a couple of wedding in 2019 and then COVID. Amanda, one of ,y daughters IL, has wanted to visit Maine as did Grace, my wife. who announced we would honeymoon in Maine (1959) Waters Edge was terrific and easily accommodated our party of 11, with one couple over the garage and one in the bunkhouse. The home is beautiful, spacious and airy, all essential equipment and consumables were readily available. The grounds are beautiful. The first two full days it rained, but we completed a thousand piece puzzle and studied bird life through our scope in the living room and a enjoyed a lobster roll at Cozy,s. Monday we visited Bath and the Marine Museum. Tuesday we traveled with Capt Fish to see puffins and whales. Wednesday shopping in the Harbor and a visit to the Maine Coastal Garden. Thursday we experienced the Cabbage Island Clambake mmm Good! Friday a trip to Pemaquid Point, a final visit to the Downeast Creamery and a final Maine meal at Robinson's Wharf. what was special was returning to waters Edge to relax and gather at the fire pit in the evening for conversation, laughs and smores. Saturday AM we made our last visit to tne Southport General Store and headed off to NC,VT, NY and OR, with very special memories of our week together in Maine at Waters Edge Davidy
