The views were outstanding! We have been coming to the Georgetown area for years and love the area! The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The outdoor decks were wonderful for watching sunsets after busy days at the various beaches in the area. Carrie was a great communicator and very accommodating! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful property!

Great place, great views

Our family has rented a number of places over the years & this was one of the very best. Clean, comfortable, functional, well stocked. We even made a list of the good things about it & we exceeded the number of steps, tee hee. GREAT VIEWS, from inside and out, big decks, sheltered table, working grill, window treatments that kept out the dawn's early light, binoculars, towels &&&

Magnificent home! Fully furnished with everything you could possibly need for your trip. The views were gorgeous. Upstairs bed was comfy and you wake up surrounded by the gorgeous views that I am very much missing now! We used the home as a base to explore up and down the coast of Maine. Truly a magical home. Carrie and Paul are fantastic hosts.. even got us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary! A bottle of wine for a birthday, complete with cards for both. Super sweet gesture! The stairs aren’t bad… but you definitely get a workout in! Super quiet neighborhood. Looking forward to booking again in the future!

Keeps getting better!

We had a wonderful 5th visit to Topsider. Terrific view and cozy interior makes it on our short list of favorite places ever. This trip we especially enjoyed the Maritime Museum in Bath and first visit to Pemaquid peninsula and lighthouse . We also discovered Maine’s own Gifford ice cream enjoyed on Tooside deck with sunset.

Stairmaster with a fantastic bonus

Topsider is a wonderful place to stay, clean, comfortable, and a view that is worth every step. Carrie has thought of everything one might need and was always available to answer any questions we had as well as providing information about the area. We truly enjoyed our week there, it just went by too quickly. Hope to return and would highly recommend staying here.

A wonderful vacation getaway

We celebrated our 30th anniversary here.The many stairs were well worth the view of Popham beach, seals, and the ocean! We were super relaxed just watching the water. There were plenty of things to do in the area. Maine Maritime Museum just over the town line in Bath had a wonderful 3 hour lighthouse cruise. Included in the tour we saw many seals, osprey, herons and an eagle. The cottage is located within easy driving distance to lighthouses and harbors along the coast, such as, Portland Head, Cape Neddick(Nubble Light), Camden and Boothbay Harbor. We saw seals every day from the porch and also watched them while dining on Popham Beach at Spinnys. The neighbors we ran into were all friendly and there is a nice down home feel to the area.We cannot say enough good things about Carrie and Paul, our hosts. They had the cottage fully stocked with everything we could possibly need or want and they communicated throughout our stay to make sure things were going well. They truly care about you when you stay here!!!We absolutely recommend this place!

Relaxing Maine Vacation

This was our second stay at The Topsider, and we enjoyed this visit as much as we did the first! We were out and about most days exploring the area, but always looked forward to returning back to our home away from home to eat a delicious meal and relax. On a couple of dreary and rainy days, we were just as happy to hang out, play some games, relax, and take in the views! This is such a special place, thank you again to our wonderful hosts!
