It's a beautiful property, but not a good stay for elderly guests. The tub upstairs is a danger; I'm 58 and slipped on the rubber mat in the tub. Not sure why there isn't more seating in the fireplace room; it seems like a waste of space. Please purchase a pizza cutter. Otherwise, very nice.

Bees Knees is well named! We were 3 couples, local to New England, here for a Cabbage Island Clambake get away. We all gave the house (and Ohana) 5 stars all around. A great location for in town Boothbay Harbor. The house is very comfortable, great amenities and spotlessly clean. We would be happy to stay here again next September!
