Guest Reviews
- Ronald (10/5): - Very nice place Great location both Keith and Kira where very nice and accommodating
- Raymond (10/5): Great stay - Delightful stay. Quaint, great walk everywhere location, inn keepers were really friendly and helpful.
- Candace (10/5): - Lovely house with great wraparound porch and gorgeous plants & trees. The lilacs, which I love, were blooming which was absolutely delightful - so aromatic and beautiful! The bed was very comfy and the view of the town and water was joyful. There's a lovely art gallery, used bookstore, and plenty of dining options nearby. A very sweet couple manages the inn and they're excellent cooks - Captain Sawyer's breakfast was beyond delicious - one day it was just me and they served huevos rancheros and posette - incredible! ...The kitchen is down the hall from the rooms so if you wish there are opportunities for social time. The only thing that I'd recommend as a future update - as with many stately old New England homes, the bathroom could use a refresh - including some new caulking.
- leslie (10/5): - Comfortable bed, walkable, free parking, good breakfast, but the hosts were the best part.
- Neil (6/5): - Plus: The property is very convenient to Boothbay Harbor. Negative: Our room lacked a closet and some minor things, which we had to go get after asking. Access by very steep stairs was risky for a person with any disability. The price was very high for what was provided. Nice couple managing.
- Christopher (10/5): - The inn keepers were very very nice and accommodating. Nice old historic bed and breakfast right in downtown Boothbay. Everything about this stay was excellent.
- Alaina (10/5): - We spent 2 nights and had a wonderful time! The innkeepers are super nice and accommodating and the breakfast both mornings were to die for. We would highly recommended!
- Thomas (8/5): - Our hosts were wonderful and prepared delicious breakfasts before we set out to explore for the day. Just be aware the property dates back to 1877.
- Sheri (8/5): - Welcoming hosts with darling baby who are excellent bakers and very accommodating.
- Mark (10/5): - Great place and people.
- Ingrid (8/5): - The location of the property is excellent. Nice to have private parking at the property because parking in Boothbay harbor is a nightmare! The staff is very helpful and kind. The room size was small and for the price we paid I expected a larger room. The breakfast offerings were fantastic!
- David (10/5): - What a wonderful place to stay. The room was charming and quiet. The view from the room was lovely and the host family were fun and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic. We would gladly stay there again any time were are in the area.
- Christina (10/5): Fantastic experience - It was fantastic. Tira and Keith are outstanding hosts. Their breakfast is over the top. The room that we had (with a king size bed was great. The location wonderful. You walk to everything, no parking headache!! If we ever go back to Booth Bay we definitely would stay again in this beautiful B&B and the lovely couple with their cute baby
- Lori (10/5): Great stay! - Very clean, food was delicious, owners were kind and helpful.
- glenn (10/5): CAPT SAWYERS GREAT RELAXING WEEKEND - great knowledgeable staff...very well organized...great view of harbor...easy walk to bars . restaurants and shops.
- Elaine (10/5): - The host couple were adorable. Very easy to communicate with. Great breakfast!
- Angela (10/5): - Perfect location for hanging out in Boothbay for a couple of days. Step out the front door and you are a few houses from all the shops. Easy to get on a tour boat and restaurants were great!!! Breakfast like all of the other reviews was amazing and worth the stay. Quiet and relaxing!
- MICHAEL (6/5): - It was close to the shop n easy walking.
- Ruth (10/5): - The property is very well kept. Our room was clean and comfortable. Jo’s breakfasts were AMAZING! We’d definitely stay here again.
- Mark (10/5): - Had a wonderful stay, Jo and staff were outstanding, would highly recommend.
- Sean (10/5): - In the heart of Boothbay Harbor. Jo made an incredible breakfast every morning, and was AWESOME with my wife's allergies. It's a B&B, so its an old building, but had everything we needed!
- Barbara (10/5): - We were so happy to have found this gem right on Commercial Street with a view of the bay from our room. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the inn with restaurants and shops so close that we were able to just walk everywhere downtown. Our room had a separate entrance so we could walk out to sit on the pretty porch whenever we wanted. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed and even a little refridgerator. The bathroom was small, understandable for a large old home; however, it could have stood a little sprucing up. The breakfast was amazing. The stay here was worth it just for that alone! And making our it even nicer was the friendly, helpful staff. We're definitely coming again. Save us the Stephen Tabor room!
- Carlene (10/5): - Charming B and B Soft fluffy pillows and comfy bed The breakfast each day was amazing Highly recommend!
- William (8/5): - Jo was a wonderful hostess and she accommodated our gluten allergies and late arrival. Thanks for a pleasant stay!
- Jack (8/5): - I realize this is and old house that was converted into a B&B and it did have a certain charm to it. The room however was extremely small and hard to get around. The shower was tiny and hard to get around in. The Innkeeper was a very nice and accommodating lady. She was also a very good cook and the breakfasts were very good. The location was excellent and well within walking distance of everything in town.
- Fred (10/5): - Loved all
- Jeannie (8/5): - The bed and breakfast was right in town and walking distance to everything. Breakfast each morning was wonderful!
- Nigel (10/5): - Great location, lovely staff
- Francis (8/5): - It was well located in the center of the town. Breakfast was very good. The room was small, but it was advertised as such. The #1 restaurant in the town was located adjacent to the property. Tour and sail boats were located within easy walking distance. It is an interesting and unique town to visit.
- Robert (10/5): - The location was perfect! Walking distance to all the shops and dining options.
- Judith (8/5): Booth Bay - Captain Sawyers B&B is the best location on the bay. View of the water and easy walk through town. We really enjoyed upper and lower porch for reading and fresh air, with or without sun. Lovely breakfast. Walked to dinner at Ports of Italy and Coastal Prime. Great visit.
- Joseph (10/5): Fall Retreat to Boothbay Harbor - We visited with friends in BoothBay and have stayed here before, Jo the owner as always made us feel welcome and at home. Breakfast was included and delicious every morning, with fresh pressed juice, coffee, fresh fruit, homemade blueberry pancakes and pastries. There's lots to do in town, walking from the front steps to the shops, boat trips and we visited the beautiful Botanical Gardens nearby. No matter what time of season, visiting the area is always a great trip!
- David (8/5): - The property is a lovely large Victorian home that has been updated with pleasant rooms and a nice dining area. It had off-street parking in the back, a necessity during peak tourist season. Our room faced the street on the first level but was well above street level and fairly quiet. It was likely the original home’s parlor and as such while big enough for a very comfortable large bed, a dresser and small table it lacked space to keep any large luggage pieces out of the way. B’fast was very nice. My only disappointment was that our very early departure after night two meant no accommodation for even a take-away coffee and pastry in spite of having made several requests ahead of time. Not the worst thing in the world but took a little of the pleasure out of the stay.
- Charles (8/5): BoothBay Harbor adventure - Jo and her staff were amazing, the breakfast was wonderful and just the right amount for the start of our day. The bed was comfortable but the pillows lacked support. I loved having our own a/c unit which allowed me to keep the room as cold as I liked. The location was fantastic.
- edmund (10/5): - just a great place to stay. super location. nice breakfast
- David (10/5): Happiness in Booth Bay. - Very convenient location at Booth Bay. The owner, Jo, was exceptional.
- Ruth J (8/5): - The room was very small and the shower was difficult for me to use. Over priced for the size of the room.
- Rachel (10/5): - This beautiful old sea captain's home was the perfect location for our getaway. It's within walking distance to everything! The house is almost as warm and welcoming as the host, Jo. Would highly recommend this B&B.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I love history and the uniqueness of this property. Seeing Captain Sawyer sitting atop the hill, on the front porch, overlooking the spectacular harbor would have been quite a sight to see! Jo, the innkeeper provided a wonderful breakfast each morning. The blueberry pancakes were delicious! Our room was toward the front of the Inn and gave us a peek of the harbor. The bed and linens were great. We also had a private bath with shower. The Inn is very walkable to shops and dining in BoothBay Harbor. If you are wanting to cruise the Harbor, you can walk across the street and hop on. Parking is very tight at the Inn. Checkin and checkout was contactless and easy. Jo, was available and communicated promptly. Thank you for sharing this historical property with us.

In addition to this B&B having a great location in the heart of Boothbay Harbor, the owner Jo serves up an excellent breakfast which includes her homemade blueberry pancakes. She also serves cocktails on the front porch in the evening.
- James (10/5): Great Experience in a Lovely Environment - Our stay was exceptionally nice. Jo gave us excellent suggestions for things to do in the area, which all proved to be great.
