Perfect porch!

We had the most relaxing and peaceful time at the cottage, just sitting in the porch watching the lobster boats right in front of you was wonderful! What spectacular views. The resort next door was fabulous to have access to.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway!

We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here and it was such a perfect trip! The Compass Rose Cottage is so charming and the location is absolutely perfect! The cottage, situated on the rocks, overlooks the stunning bay with close access to the downtown area. We loved reading about the history of the cottage and venturing over to Linekin Resort - such a great added bonus. Matt was a wonderful and helpful host who made our stay so welcoming and special. I wish I could bottle up this cottage and keep it forever - but we at least have all the wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Beautifully decorated old style cottage on the water Comfortable, cozy and stylish Maine decor

So close to the sea, breathtaking from the sunrises to the star-filled night sky, abundant with nature and an ever changing view. Mackerel fishing off the dock, happy hour at sunset on the comfortable deck! Love it! The kitchen is a bit too tiny but who cares?

Oceanfront Cottage Happiness

We recently stayed at this property for a week, had a wonderful and memorial experience. The host was great with correspondence, the house was clean and had everything you'd could need. The history of the house that was provided was interesting and there was a well provided guide of where to eat, things to do and more. Our sons enjoyed fishing off the dock and catching mackerel. Access to Linekin Bay Resort was a big plus too! I would highly recommend this property.

A wonderful time

We had a wonderful week at The Compass Rose Cottage!! The cottage is exactly as pictured, so charming, spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need for a week in Maine. The location is perfect, everything we wanted to do and see was 5 minutes away. You can't beat the view from the deck. The owners were extremely helpful and easy to reach. Having access to the neighboring resort was a great bonus. Thanks again

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second stay at Compass Rose, and once again, it was wonderful. I can't say enough about the breathtaking views from the deck (and the dock) - from sunrise to sunset, watching the tide roll in and out, along with the picturesque blue skies and sailboats. We enjoyed the restaurants and shops in Boothbay Harbor. We also used the pool, kayaks and tennis courts - some of the amenities that were provided by our hosts through Linekin Bay Resort. Matt was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend Compass Rose.

Amazing stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Compass Rose cottage. We loved spending time on the deck and dock just relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. The cottage is very charming, well equipped, and we did not want for anything. The cottage is also well located just a short distance from Boothbay Harbor where we enjoyed the local shops and restaurants. We also explored the beach, preserves and a restaurant in Southport Harbor. Having access to the amenities at Linekin Bay Resort is a huge plus. We played tennis and our sons swam in the saltwater pool. All combined, we had an amazing stay and can’t wait to return.

Another great visit to Boothbay

We just wrapped another great stay at this cozy, charming summer cottage on Linekin Bay. The view from the deck is fantastic and Jen And Matt have arranged for everything a small group or family needs to enjoy a coastal Maine vacation. Access to the Linekin Bay Resort, just a few steps down the road, is a huge plus and provides the best of both worlds — all the amenities of the resort, including the restaurant and bar, and your own private space and deck and dock.

We had a great time. The view is outstanding. Stay was very relaxing simply hanging on the deck and dock. The water was cold, but we managed to swim. Used kayaks from Linekin Bay and took a puffin cruise. Loved the area!

Pure awesomeness!

What a find! Matt and Jen’s 100 year old cottage is rustic but so charming and cozy. And the view is simply breathtaking! We spent hours on the deck overlooking the bay. It was always quiet, calm and very peaceful! We loved Compass Rose and Linekin Bay Resort which is just down the street. It was a wonderful week and we look forward to returning.

Absolutely fantastic cottage on the water

We stayed two weeks at Matt and Jen’s cottage. The first week was rainy and foggy. The second week was mostly beautiful and sunny. Hence, we had a lot of time to live in this house and on this property. It is absolutely as described in the listing, The beds are completely comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with pretty much everything you will need, and the dining and living rooms are cozy, but still large enough for four of us plus two 75-pound dogs to move around. It goes without saying that the views from the porch and off the dock are stupendous. The last thing that makes this cottage so great is that it is literally three doors down from the Linekin Bay Resort. We used their restaurant, bar, kayaks, and sailboats, frequently. And the staff over there are super friendly. I cannot say enough good things about our two weeks stay at this place.

Cute cottage, great location

My family of six stayed in this cute cottage for a long weekend in June. It has a great patio and dock. The access to Linekin resort is really nice. We used the pool, kayaks, and restaurant. The cottage is also a very short drive to town. The owners were easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend this place others.

Perfection on Maine's mid-coast

Everything was perfection at this property. The location can't be beat. The cottage sits right on a small quite harbor, with a large porch looking out over it. It's located on a less traveled peninsula in Boothbay Harbor, five minutes drive from downtown. It also is right next to Linekin Bay Resort, so you can enjoy some of the Resort amenities. We got to use the tennis courts during our stay. The interior of the cottage is very well appointed. The building is old, but rich with character. The furnishings and decorations chosen with taste. Importantly there was both heat for our cool mid-October stay, but saw ACs were available for stays during the warmer parts of the season. Plenty of activities for the youngsters was also very much appreciated.

A gem on the water!

This cottage is everything they advertised and more! You cannot beat the location, the porch overlooking the bay was the perfect setting for coffee every morning to watch the sunrise. We went in early October so it was a bit chilly when we arrived but once we turned on the downstairs heater, the cottage was nice and cozy! Our dog loved being so close to the water and he loved running around the beachy area during low tide! We will definitely be back during the summer months to see what the bay has to offer in the warmer months as well.

A relaxing place

The property is a wonderful older camp with everything you need to be very comfortable. It feels like a well loved place, with great views of the water. Nice just to sit on the porch over looking the water, watching loons fishing and talking. Get lost in a book and completely relax. No need to go anywhere! I will be back in the future.

Classic Maine cottage in Boothbay

The view from the deck is priceless and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 3 kids. Access to the Linekin Bay Resort makes this a great combo -- a classic and private cottage on the water yet only steps away from all the amenities and restaurant of the resort. Matt was very responsive prior to and during the week and we didn't have any issues.

Tranquil retreat

Such a beautiful place and so serene. I almost didn't want to leave the porch! Loved the house (we particularly appreciated the mix of vintage decor with more modern, comfier furniture, like beds, where it counted), kayaking right off the dock, and the proximity to Linekin Bay Resort for a nice dinner (even if we spent far more of our time eating at Shannon's Unshelled) and to Barrett Park, which our dog enjoyed as much as we did. At a remove from town, the cottage was just the respite we were looking for, and Matt and Jen provided everything we needed and more (thank you so much!!).

Perfect getaway

The Messer family thought of every detail. The house was clean, well organized and perfectly located on the water and within walking distance of town. We had a wonderful time snuggling up with a book by the fireplace, going to the botanical gardens, fishing off the dock, and playing lots of games. They were wonderful hosts and we look forward to visiting again soon.
