April in Maine

The cottage was lovely - well supplied with all necessary items. Deb responded quickly to the two questions I had when I was there. For the first time in my life, I got to see some snow on the beach! we traveled a bit both north and south of our location to see the local sites: went to Popham Beach State Park, Fort Baldwin, Fort Popham and went to the L.L. Bean flagship store - beautiful walks on the beach daily.

Cute spot in great location!

My husband and I stayed here with our 4 year old and dog just after labor day. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and we all had a blast exploring Fort Popham and Fort Baldwin and taking a walk to the island during low tide. There were two restaurants within a 10 min drive (one of them much better than the other) and day trips to Bath and/or Boothbay Harbor were reasonable distance. Only thing that would make it perfect is if the beach access was not impacted by the tides (not accessible at high tide), but we lucked out with tide schedule that it wasn't too impactful. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Popham Beach

I'd like to see the other cabins. This one was a little raw but perfectly fine. Heat worked great, beds were good. If you want a nice dinner you would need to drive a ways. No restaurants in the immediate area that were open in October. If you like peace and quite then this place is perfect.

Wonderful stay

We had a great stay. Check in and communication was easy. Due to storm damage, our original booked cottage was not available and Deb offered us a different (much larger) home without added cost. We greatly appreciated it so we didn't have to cancel our vacation. The home was very clean and had everything we needed and then some. The area is beautiful and the beach was very clean. You cannot beat the views from the home. We look forward to staying here again!

Popham Beach in September

Very cute and clean cottage, lovely and well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds. Perfect weather. The cottage sits on a bluff overlooking the beach; it’s beachfront, but you can’t actually see the beach directly in front of the house. Quite a steep set of stairs to descend to gain access; so glad I’m still fairly fit for a senior citizen otherwise hauling a beach chair and a bag with a dog on a leash would not have been possible.

Incredible stay!

Beautiful little cottage right on the water! Great location for the price. The lighting is incredible. If you wake up earlier enough, you’ll get to see the sun rise right over the water. The beach was easily accessible and very private. It was the perfect size for our group of 4–cozy but still spacious. The only issue was that there was a small ant problem (not very noticeable except for near the door), but definitely did not detract from our stay!

Location was perfect!!

Family of four: 6/4 yr old kids, we had a BLAST! Location was perfect for watching seals bobbing in the waves with coffee and seeing the three light houses turn on at dusk. We love not having to drive while away, so we beach-walked everywhere (except to get lobster a few coves over). Cabin was very clean, fully ready for an off-season stay (heating worked great). Kitchen had all tools needed for full meal prep (there was little to no take out available off season) and laundry-washer and dryer. Water was always hot. Parking easy. For our family, it was a relaxing and joyful ocean-centered escape from the daily grind! Hosts were very quick with communications and responsive to our needs during the stay.

Great location on the beach

We absolutely loved to walk on the beach which extended for miles in either direction. We came to enjoy watching the seals by Fort Popham, and would visit them everyday -- to the extent that we went at 7 am on the day we left! The cottage was small, but fine for the two of us. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We were there before Memorial Day, so there weren't many restaurants open -- but we planned ahead, and stocked up in Bath, so we didn't need anything. It was early in the season, so pretty much all that was available in foodstuffs was salt and pepper, but that was fine. We would like to return at some later date!

Delightful As Expected

This was our second visit to one of Jim and Deb’s rentals right on the ocean! They continue to be excellent hosts as evidenced by an unintentional cleaning service mixup upon our arrival. The owners jumped on the problem as soon as we notified them and quickly resolved the situation to our satisfaction. Jim and Deb really do give their guests every consideration to make their guests stay as pleasing and comfortable as possible. We will continue to rent from these owners as often as we can. We looked forward to returning to this cozy cottage with the ocean almost at our doorstep at the end of the day.

Pet Friendly Maine

The location is Maine oceanfront at it's finest. The stretch of private beach is dog friendly and well-maintained between the historical fort and the State park. It's breathtaking with a lighthouse and small islands in view. The accommodations offered everything we needed and more. The owner was exceptional in her level of communication and customer service. We hope to be return guests. Thank you Deb!
