About this property

The "Sandbox" is a lovely 3 bedroom cottage only 187 steps away from beautiful Popham Beach which offers tidal pools, islands, lighthouses, over three miles of sandy beach, and two old stone forts for you to explore.

The cottage accommodates six guests with sleeping arrangements consisting of two traditional bedrooms (a queen bed in one and two twins in the other) and a full sized bed located in our stunning enclosed sleep porch.

The "Sandbox" is nestled in the historic quaint community of Popham Village. You will enjoy strolling, fishing, swimming, hiking and collecting sea shells along the beach. If hungry you can walk only 5 minutes down to Spinney's restaurant to enjoy an oceanside breakfast, lunch, dinner OR ice cream. (Spinney's has a new owner this year, menu TBD)

The cottage has internet, games, puzzles, a propane griddle, a DVD library and a gas fireplace for those foggy coastal nights when you just want to stay in and relax. The large sunroom is not only a coveted sleeping and napping area, but, a great spot to relax, play games or simply listen to the ocean.

Popham Beach

This house is wonderful! We are able to bring our dogs and it is only a few hundred feet from the beach. In the summer it does get pretty hot inside and I know it’s common to not have AC in a beach cabin so if you want to stay cool make sure you bring your own AC units. Otherwise the house is very cute & sweet inside and we’ve been coming here for 4 years now and have never had any issues! Thanks again!

Great stay!

This house was perfect for families! It was so convenient to have the property stocked with everything from kitchen essentials, games, linens, and outside/beach gear. Even though we had planned ahead an brought a lot of things we thought we would need (for beach/outside) it was nice to have the back up of more to pick from!

Sandbox Love!

We found the Sandbox a few years ago and now have made it our annual summer vacation location. Lynn and Ben love their property and they also love sharing it with others. We are grateful. The cottage, the yard, the location to the ocean--- we love it all!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Jacobs

I am a Maniac. Born in Portland, and summered in Bar Harbor where both my Parents were born. I have lived in the Vermont, San Francisco and the Florida Keys but, Maine is where I now call home. I love the smell of the salt air, the endless adventures to the small seaside villages and the abundance of festivals, craft fairs and outdoor activities.

Why they chose this property

Popham Beach is such a magical place on the Midcoast of Maine. The beach has soft clean sand with PLENTY of room to spread out your blanket and have a quiet day relaxing and watching the abundant wildlife. The history of Popham is fascinating from colonial settlements to ship building. And, the proximity to Freeport, Portland, Boothbay makes day tripping a breeze!

What makes this property unique

This cottage is nestled on a one acre lot only 1-2 minute walk to the beach. It is wonderful to have the amenity of strolling, swimming and fishing however, getting away at the end of the day and sitting on the porch listening to surf at a private cottage is the best of both worlds.
