Set right on the edge of the water on the Boothbay Peninsula, this home captures the easy charm of coastal Maine living. Days here are made for outdoor fun – from morning dips in the pool to paddling out from your private boat berth. There’s a hot tub for cool evenings, a gym, basketball court, and a games room to keep everyone entertained. Inside, it’s bright and welcoming, with big windows framing the water and a deck that’s perfect for sunset cocktails. A separate bunkhouse with its own kitchenette and living area gives the kids their own space. And when you fancy a change of pace, Boothbay Harbor’s shops and seafood restaurants are just a short drive away.

• Your host can arrange babysitting services for an additional fee.
