Weâre there during the Bluefin tuna tournament and could not have asked for a better location. Accommodations were perfect for us. This was the 2nd time we have stayed this summer and thoroughly enjoyed our stay both times. Highly recommended.
This location!! We loved on the balcony and watching the activity in the harbor and at the marina. Kitchen was well stocked. Unit is spacious and recently updated
Perfect location with so much to offer. Sitting of the deck watching the boats was so relaxing. The condo was very spacious and clean. Will be back next year.
Staying at the Carousel Marina is like no other VASCA experience for vacation.
First, anyone renting should realize they will be staying at the actual marina and
will be witness to all the activities that occur there â boats arriving, departing,
people coming and going on the docks and the influx of people coming each night
to enjoy cocktails, dinner and live music at the attached restaurant either inside
or outside on the patio by the firepit. If you are fortunate enough to stay for an
extended time you will feel that you are part of the âfamilyâ that owns and
operates the marina. We had many interactions with the owners and staff that
made our stay even more enjoyable. Evan, Desmond and Fooz (probably didinât
spell that correctly) were standouts for us. And, if you are lucky enough to stay
during the Boothbay Harbor Tuna Challenge you will experience a whole different
type of adventure. Put the app tuna on your phone and you will be notified of
each boatâs approximate arrival time at the dock. You will have a front row seat to
watch the contestants arrive with their catches and the weighing of each tuna. I
would definitely stay there again. Five stars.
This was one of the most relaxing vacation we have had. Also this location was breath taking. The water view at the marina was spectacular. People very friendly and enjoyed having the restaurant downstairs from our apartment.
The inside of this property appeared to be all recently renovated. Positives: We loved the deck overlooking the Marina and sunsets at night although my family fought over the two comfy yellow deck chairs; they were awesome! We loved the location; could walk to Lobster Wharf and Coastal Prime (two of our favorite restaurants). It was also easy walking to the footbridge into town. We loved that this condo was pet friendly; our dog also loved hanging out on the deck and watching the marina activity and it was a nice walk to Barrett Park. We loved the little extras the condo provided like trash bags, plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, and a few small Dove toiletries in the bathroom. We have been to a lot of house rentals and you donât often get those extras. The rental did provide both a full size coffee pot and a single cup maker that you could use k-cups with.
Negatives and these really arenât negatives and just more suggestions since this seems to be a new listing and these upgrades or additions would make everything truly perfect: Get a larger TV for the living room area. A TV cabinet on that wall with games and puzzles would be great for rainy days as the condo has a nice large dining table perfect for puzzles and games. Move the small TV into the bunk room since there is a couch in the room and it would be nice for the kids to have a hang out space and their own TV. Overall fantastic condo and stay!
