We had a lovely time staying at this beautiful waterfront home. The views were amazing 24/7. The house was well stocked with everything and very organized and clean. The location while remote was just a 10 minute drive to Bath where there are great shops and food. Michelle was great, easy to work with and made everything easy. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to others!

Spectacular location, right on the water.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location was perfect. We rented kayaks for the week, which we really enjoyed. We loved the property. It was clean and well furnished.

Lovely home on the coast

Terrific, comfortable home on the water with a private dock and great outdoor space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as long-time visitors to the area. Our host couldn't have been more welcoming or responsive and we are hoping to return again.

Best views in Central Maine

This was our second stay at the property and we loved every second of it. Amazing views, cozy, clean, well stocked house, lovely neighborhood and neighbors. Located close to Bath and Brunswick which are both great towns that don’t get as much tourist traffic as some other places in Maine.

Lovely spot on the water

Loved the location on the water … great for kayakers. Overall the house was good but needs some new mattresses especially in the two twin room! Great views from windows and yard.

Hi Cindy, I am sorry you found the mattress uncomfortable! We pride ourselves on keeping the house updated and renovated. We put a new king-sized mattress on in April, and the twin beds you referred to are being replaced in October. You just missed them. I'm glad you had a good week on the water! Best, Michelle

Birch Point is a real gem. Wonderful waterfront views from the house. The island had a nesting pair of I think Osprey and young hatchlings that kept us watching for views of the chicks. Our grandson fished everyday and he an his sister paddleboarded too.

A lovely home with gorgeous views in a quiet, rural neighborhood on the ocean. House has everything - I didn’t need half of the things I’ve been conditioned to travel with after so many items that are missing from other rental properties. This spot has it all, plus a dock! Can’t wait to return.

Breathtaking spot

We needed a break from our own 4 walls and wanted a place with a beautiful view. This spot was perfect. The house was comfortable, well stocked, and perfectly situated. The host was super-helpful and communicative, even looping in other family members for some questions. We had a great week.

Comfortable house in a beautiful spot

We've stayed in this home a number of times over the years and the owner is very helpful. It has everything we need and has always been perfect for our summer family get-togethers. The view from the house and dock is beautiful, and there's always a nice breeze coming up the bay from the ocean. The location, about 8 miles south of Bath, is convenient for most things in the area. The airport in Portland is about an hour's drive, and it's just 15 miles to beautiful Popham Beach or to Brunswick.

Beauty on the water

Great stay at a great location! Bald eagles, osprey, seals and lobster boats, can it get any better? Turns out it can. Took a scenic cruise out of the maritime museum just down the street, we saw a rare humpback whale in one of the inlets. Captain said she’s been doing the cruise for 8 years and this was her first!

The view was amazing, we watched osprey and boat traffic all day every day.Be wary, this is basically water of the Atlantic so it can be cold. The neighbors told us that we caught the warmest week all summer and it was really only swimmable two days. No fault of the place, just be aware if your heart is set on swimming. Highly recommend renting kayaks. Its cheaper than listed on their website and was definitely my favorite part of the visit.

Our Maine Escape

This home is charming, clean, and well-appointed, and the setting is lovely. My husband and I and our daughter enjoyed the beautiful views of the water and boats, as well as a variety of birds. And while out in our kayaks, several curious seals popped up to have a look at us! Birch Point is far enough off the beaten path to be quiet and peaceful, yet still convenient to a variety of attractions. We spent time in Portland and at the LLBean store in Freeport. We explored Bath, Wisscasset, Boothbay, and Damariscotta, and visited Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, as well as Popham Beach. Michelle was welcoming and responsive and our week in her home was a wonderful—and much needed—combination of fun and relaxation. We hope to return!

Amazing property

Spent 2 glorious fall weeks at this West Bath property. This older, well updated house nicely accommodated the two of us. It was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed. There were plenty of dishes and flatware. We cooked in for most meals. There are black out curtains in the main bedroom, so you can really sleep in if you want to! We did! The backyard views are wonderful. Jennie’s Nubble has an active eagles nest. Lobster boats and sail boats were frequently in the area. The house is well off the main road and we had complete privacy. This house is a true gem. Just wait until you see the spectacular starry night sky! Michelle was very helpful with answering questions. Just loved our stay.

Wonderful experience on the Maine coast!

This property is in a delightful location right on the water at Birch Point, with its own dock, for easy access to the sheltered water. No matter the air quality anywhere else in town, with an onshore breeze, this place always smelled fresh and clean. It was very quiet, with the only noise being the slap of the water on the shore, the birds, and the occasional lobster boat coming by to manage their traps. Just sitting and gazing out the large living room window at the expansive water view, provided a lovely experience. We had a delightful time walking on the local roads and trails, and also at the Hamilton Audubon sanctuary not far away. We very much enjoyed renting kayaks from a local business, as the process was simple, with them dropping off and picking up the kayaks, so we could focus on having fun. The nearby town of bath was a pleasure to wander, with a lot of history and interesting businesses. We did venture as far as to the L.L. Bean store, which was a fun highlight of our vacation. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Extremely relaxing and calming waterfront location to watch Fall foliage come to life. Great place for families to stay at and watch the dolphins, lobster boats, and sunsets over the water. Close to main Bath for easy transporting back and forth.
