"My wife, Springer Spaniel, and I just returned from a 2-week vacation at the Seanook resort cottage in East Boothbay Maine. I can say without hesitation that the three of us had a wonderful time. We were in the Paradise Cottage, which has a wonderful setting in the woods with a terrific view of the bay. The cottage was an extremely comfortable getaway spot in a quiet and scenic neighborhood. The owner, Mary Ellen Serina, was a wonderful hostess. She was available every day and was quick to solve every minor problem that we might have. The property is an easy 10 minute drive from Boothbay Harbor, and a starting point for many of the nearby towns and marine spots in the area. My wife and I highly recommend this property to anyone who is interested in exploring mid-coastal Maine."

"My husband, best friend and myself love Linekin Bay. We have returned many times to Boothbay and always find this area quiet, peaceful and beautiful. This is a requirement for us- very important. In 2024, it was our 1st stay at Paradise Cottage. We found Mary Ellen very accomodating, responsive and the cottage perfect for 3 of us. The kitchen is small but beyond efficient. Really easy to use. And the views from our living area AND bedrooms, so much glass and sun !! We loved it and plan to return in the near future."

"Beyond a place in time, staying at Seanook is a transformational journey! It is a magical place where indoors and expansive outdoors merge as one. The comings and goings of the sea and its wildlife are endlessly captive. I've just returned from yet another off-season getaway with my five other teacher girlfriends. We came laden with puzzles, books, knitting, a sewing machine, embroidery, a Scrabble board, binoculars, and the most luscious ingredients to enjoy the feasts we cooked up in Seanook's generously supplied kitchen, an amazing gathering place for preparation, conversation, and delight. The jaunts to Boothbay Harbor, or seaside walks along the Point Road, spring flower strolls in the neighborhood, breakfast at the East Boothbay General Store, and visiting Mary Ellen tending her garden and hosting a visit in her art studio, every moment and every detail captures perfection. It is a magical haven indeed!"

"Paradise Cottage is a perfect name for this perfect cottage! Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine while watching lobster boats, and an occasional sailboat, pass, is a little bit of heaven. The cottage is lovely inside and out with its floor to ceiling windows facing the water and “stroll thru the forest” while walking down the hall. And never a worry about what to bring, with the well thought through kitchen - dishes, pots and pans, bowls, baking accessories, and a new gas grill on the deck. We're always sad to leave, but begin our planning and cannot wait to return every year."

"We've just returned home to New Mexico after yet another marvelous stay at Seanook. This was our 5th time there for several weeks each September and we have loved every minute, every aspect of Seanook. The location is on an amazing quiet road that runs along the eastern shore of Linekin Bay. Seanook literally sits out OVER the water (just a little) and upstairs or down, the floor to ceiling windows, decks both upstairs and downstairs, a ramp leading to a float...It's all about the view, the wildlife, ospreys, eagles, seals (2 this year), many varieties of birds, the incredible sunsets, just WOW. The house itself is a treasure, so unique, so comfortable and reflecting the artist's touch of Mary Ellen and the craftsmanship of Ron. If you are lucky enough to stay here, you won't regret it! Oh, one more thing...Seanook sits towards the northern end of the bay so it doesn't take forever to get anywhere. Great location."

"We just spent 8 nights at Seanook from September 30th through October 8th and it was fabulous! The weather was great, the leaves were just changing and Seanook was perfection. We loved the windows and skylights everywhere so we always had a view of the water and all of nature. This home is stocked with everything you could ever need. The bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be back! Mary Ellen is a wonderful hostess and she provides tons of information about restaurants and things to do in Boothbay. We felt completely at home here in Seanook and thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It was just what we needed to begin our new Retired life!!"
