Five Islands villa Rental Property Information

Superbly located in Gulf of Maine, just over a half mile from the mainland and about three and one-half miles from Boothbay Harbor, Boothbay Island is an exceptional 68+ acre island archipelago whose main island offers more than 12,000 feet of varied oceanfront. Here one can enjoy rolling fields, quiet meadows, exposed granite ledges, and a magnificent shoreline that wanders over protected sand beaches, secluded coves, rocky headlands, and crashing surf.

On the main island, a wealth of wild berries and roses attracts an unusual variety of birds, while the Hypocrites, two smaller islands to the east, are home to many families of seals. A chef, boat captain, and maid service come with in addition to the use of the island's three boats including a 34-foot cabin cruiser for local fishing and sightseeing. All meals and beverages of your choice are included. Have lobster from the Island's won traps every night if you wish!

Boothbay Private Island is only 15 minutes by boat from Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Settled in the 1600s as a fishing outpost, Boothbay Island was abandoned in 1675 with the start of King Philip's war.
