Description
WELCOME TO CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS! Here you can sail, swim, kayak, fish and boat- all from your own dock & float. "CQ" is for anyone who loves the ocean! Located on the east side of Linekin Bay, just across from Cabbage Island, this comfortable three-story home in East Boothbay is the real deal. This house was featured in the made for PBS television series, Getting Away Together. We have a link to the episode's sizzle reel and more fun behind the scenes videos on our Youtube channel: Getting Away Together- Boothbay Harbor Region.

This home was built in the late 1800's as an Inn for the Eastern Steamship company. It features a spectacular wrap-around porch on three sides with beautiful sunset views over Linekin Bay and Cabbage Island. People also love to gather in the kitchen which has an island in the middle and several bar stools for eating or just "gathering together" to cook and talk and enjoy time with each other.

To Our Guests: A Note From The Owner
To Our Guests: A Note From The Owner
"I grew up in this area went away and came back and Jeff moved here with his family in 1977 as a summer resident. We met here, fell in love here, and got married here at the house. We love living here year-round. The Boothbay Region is so beautiful and full of quaint small towns with lots of history and charm! There is something for everyone! This area has a lot of local restaurants, no chain restaurants and also a few craft beer breweries. You can tour lighthouses, historical museums, shop, eat, sail on a schooner, paddle around the Bay in a kayak or visit the interesting and beautiful aquarium and botanical gardens. When you get tired you can come home and relax on this beautiful porch and enjoy the ever-changing weather and views of the Bay watching seals and sailboats. We love to spend our Sundays out on the boat fishing for mackerel and bring our catch home and cook it for dinner. We love to travel but we really love coming home to Boothbay!
Beginning the day with coffee down on the dock and ending the day on the covered, screened glassed porch with a glass of wine or a favorite drink makes for the perfect day and night. In the evening, the cooks congregate in the kitchen, the kids like to play on the porch and the sports lovers like to watch the game in the living room. All the bedrooms are on the second and the third floor, so if you want to go to bed early you probably won’t hear the noise downstairs. The house is minutes from downtown. Our house is on Ocean Point, yet you feel like you're far away when you get home. There are so many things to love about this historic house. There is a lovely breeze off the Bay that makes for lovely cool nights and great sleeping! This house embodies the "Classic Maine" and the “Real Maine”. We believe we are merely the caretakers of this wonderful home and we love sharing it with others to enjoy it and create beautiful lasting memories with family and friends. This house has been a “home-away-from-home” to thousands of people over the years. And, the tradition continues."
____________________________________________________
The third floor has one full bathroom and four bedrooms: The Garden Room, with two single beds, is complete with a white picket fence around the hand-painted garden circling the room. Little bunnies, birds, ladybugs and more make delightful roommates! The Harry Potter Room, with two Twin beds, is a wizard’s delight with all manner of secret magic paraphernalia. Should the need to look up a potion recipe arise, a set of the books is on hand! The Red, White & Blue Room, with two Twin beds, is replete with red and blue roses on the walls and carpet with white blankets making this room the perfect haven for the patriot in your group. The Soldier’s Room, with two Twin beds and tin soldiers marching wallpaper, will inspire child-hood nostalgia you will want to share with your grandkids!

THE GROUNDS
The grounds cascade in tiers from above the house down to the water. Small vignettes of flowers, flowering bushes, and seating arrangements create beautiful gathering spots as well as private reading areas. Hummingbirds, butterflies, dragonflies are here throughout the entire season, as are many nesting birds. A gas BBQ and cook-out area with picnic tables are great for outdoor grilling and provide the perfect venue for an old-fashioned lobster bake. Croquet, horseshoes and badminton games are available. There is a swing set for small children!
_____________________________________________
THE PORCH
An enclosed porch wraps around three sides of the house with glass and screen windows letting in the sunshine, sea breezes, and amazing views! White wicker furniture with nautical-inspired cushions leads from one seating arrangement to the next. Dining tables, a foosball and Ping-Pong table along with games, puzzles, a reading library and DVD’s will provide hours of endless entertainment. In the evening, warm lighting and salty air lend a festive ambiance for music, games, storytelling, and gathering together.
________________________________________
THE DOCK & FLOAT
Extending out into Linekin Bay, the low tide depth of the float is 10’. Bring your kayaks and boats. Sturdy Adirondack chairs on the dock are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails or just to enjoy the cool afternoon breezes. Be sure to bring your camera! Captain's Quarters looks directly out at Seal Rocks which at low tide is covered by sun-bathing seals. Osprey, eagles, loons, herons, cormorants, and seals are just some of the animals that frequent this diverse natural habitat. Swim, sunbathe or fish from the float. Two deep water moorings are also available, ask for details. Bring your own boat, or rent one. Boating in Maine requires that you read charts and be aware of the tide changes. In Maine, we have 9-foot tides. If you happen to be down at the dock and a lobsterman comes by to pull his traps, wave him in and you may be able to buy lobster right from the boat.

The team was always more than willing to answer all questions both about the house and the surrounding area. We had rented the house 2 previous times so we were already familiar with most things.
I asked for a photographer to come to the house and Pamela was kind enough to recommend Karin, who was simply wonderful and spent lots of time with our family getting what I am sure will be memorable shots of our large family. We don't have the photos as of yet but I know they will be amazing.

Amazing as always!!!!!!
Our collective families love Captain's Quarters and the surrounding area.
We traveled from Tennessee, California, Georgia and Indiana to spend time together in a very special place!!!!!

We couldn't have had a better family vacation experience. The house suited us perfectly. We were a family of 10, ages 15 to 87. Captains Quarters had something for each of us. We loved the view and never got tired of it. Some of us biked, some of us hiked, some of us relaxed on the dock. Each evening we played games or did a fun craft. We kayacked, played ball, had a cookout one day. Loved cabbage island excursion and all the neat restaurants we visited. Loved downtown Boothbay! All in all a fabulous family vacation! Thank you Cottage connection!

We should have stayed longer, because there is a lot more to see and do along Maine's coast.

Lucy did most of the coordinating. She helped us as we made our choice among different options. We were able to come to Boothbay well in advance of our gathering, and were given a tour of "Captain's Quarters", so that we could get the layout in advance - even decide who would sleep in which bedrooms.
When we had trouble figuring out the TV and DVD player, we called in and were walked through the process right away.
Property
First of all, the place was spic and span when we arrived - that makes such a good first impression. The house is very comfortable, and can handle many guests. The bedrooms are upstairs, our of traffic. The kitchen is well-equipped and supported cooking dinner for up to 16 people. The kitchen was also perfect for impromptu breakfasts - having two ten cup coffee makers is a big plus. We looked at several properties before choosing "Captain's Quarters", and the decisive feature was the veranda - 60 feet of open view on Linekin Bay, plenty of comfy wicker seating, and a place to fit everyone in case of inclement weather (which fortunately we did not have). Finally, lots to see and do in the mid-coast area. And we could bring our cat!

We had a wonderful time. The house has 8 generously sized bedrooms. Plenty to do in the area.
Loved the big porch for our family gatherings, entertainment and meals. The big yard was a Hugh plus for us. The ages of our family ranged from 3-70 years of age and the house and grounds suited all ages. A large family vacation with family coming from 5 states. Shopping, kayaking, swimming, tours, meals out, visiting with family, and TOTALLY relaxing.

We chose Cottage Connection because they were in the right location and large enough (the house) to accommodate us all. We thought your service was excellent. We have had our family reunions all over the country and this was the best. We are definitely going to recommend you to friends and family, as you just work very well for large groups. The biggest and best surprise was how easily everything flowed for our multigenerational reunion. We ranged in age from 6 months to 73 years and we all had a blast!

Great home, very nice amenities, activities for all ages. Room enough for us all to be together or to find our own space!
