Loved staying at The Sandbox! Just steps from Popham Beach (187, to be exact), with tide pools, lighthouses, and miles of sand to explore. We went to the beach every single day — the cottage sleeps 4 comfortably, with cute bedrooms plus a bonus bed on the enclosed sleeping porch, which is honestly the best napping spot ever. Grabbed dinner at Spinney's just down the road, made some new friends along the way, and spent our evenings relaxing with a good book. Beautiful spot, can't recommend it enough!

We loved our time at the Sandbox. Great location a short walk to the beach and the house had everything we needed, including plenty of towels, kitchen supplies, and toys for kids. The porch was a great place to relax and the hammocks were a hit!

This was a very comfortable cottage. My son and his family stayed in it and they loved it. It has a wonderful yard for the kids to play in while the parents were busy and it was close to the beach. They enjoyed the games and the books.

Great family vacation

The whole family enjoyed our stay. The weather was good and we went to the beach every day and we walked to Spinney's for dinner one night. The property was as advertised - clean, comfortable, and a short walk to the beach. Thanks so much!

Lovely Maine coastal cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this nice cottage just steps away from miles of beaches. Lots of fun exploring this beautiful rugged (and remote) area. This had all the features we needed and great communication with the owners. We would stay again!

We have been guests at The Sandbox for the last few years. Our grandkids call it 'Our Tradition'. Cozy cottage, great yard and truly a short walk to the beach. Lovely neighborhood where we ride bikes and access to wharf, Spinney's and the fort are added bonuses.

The Sandbox is a gem of a property. Very clean, comfortable and spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room for kids and dogs, inside and out. Lynn and Ben could not be friendlier or more helpful. I would love to have them as neighbors.We loved every minute of our stay and hope to return.

very chill and close to the beach!

We loved our days at Popham Beach. The house was the perfect size for our family, our dog was happy, and the beach access was phenomenal. The only dissapointment was that we couldn't enjoy the outdoor dining area or the deck because it was super buggy -- but that's how it goes some times! We loved the rental and hope to be back.
