About the host
Hosted by Amy Bodurtha
We are from Massachusetts, and achieved our dream of owning a home near the beach in Maine in September of 2023. Since that time we have enjoyed exploring and getting to know this beautiful area through all of the seasons. We are excited to share our home with others as hosts now.
Why they chose this property
When we first visited Phippsburg, we fell in love with the rugged beauty of this area. We loved the unique beaches with views of islands, the abundant trails and hiking opportunities, and the proximity to the city of Bath, which contains wonderful restaurants, shops and galleries. As we further explored, we discovered the quiet beauty of this place through all of the seasons- we enjoyed hiking in fall, outdoor ice skating and snowshoeing in winter, and of course, beaches in spring and summer. We hope visitors will love it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
We have set up our home to host larger families and groups, and have especially planned with kids in mind. As a family of 5, we often find accommodations set up for families of 4, and maybe not so much for older children and teens. Our home has 5 beds, including study full sized bunk beds, and also has children’s books, toys, games, beach gear, etc.
We also love the proximity to the beach, but the fact that our home is in a quiet, less busy area than the immediate beach area. It is a 3 minute drive to Popham Beach, and includes a beach parking pass.
