We had a fabulous week at Popham Beach. The beach is incredible and we enjoyed walking it every day. There are a lot of other activities within driving distance as well as great restaurants. The cottage was just perfect for the two of us but would have worked well if other family would have been able to join us. Deb is a great host and got back to us quickly about any questions / concerns that we had
Clean, easy access, comfortable, amazing views, walks on the beach, hear and smell the ocean... all the comforts you need / expect for cottage... only complaint is parking a little tight for full sized p/u (Tundra) and wife's car - but managable.. Overall - Excellent Choice for small family 2 couples
Cottage was immaculately clean, and the ocean view was outstanding! Almost felt like we were IN the surf, but hearing it 24/7 was a treat! Had a wonderful week at beautiful Popham Beach!!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Popham Beach. The beach is so beautiful. We just loved walking the beach. There is so much to do nearby too. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. Deb's email communication is timely and very clear.
We absolutely loved staying here! It is truly a paradise setting! The sound of the waves were beyond relaxing! We loved walking to the island at low tide and visiting Boothbay Harbor one day. Owners are great. Thanks for sharing your cottage!
The cottage was lovely - well supplied with all necessary items. Deb responded quickly to the two questions I had when I was there. For the first time in my life, I got to see some snow on the beach! we traveled a bit both north and south of our location to see the local sites: went to Popham Beach State Park, Fort Baldwin, Fort Popham and went to the L.L. Bean flagship store - beautiful walks on the beach daily.
We had a great stay. Check in and communication was easy. Due to storm damage, our original booked cottage was not available and Deb offered us a different (much larger) home without added cost. We greatly appreciated it so we didn't have to cancel our vacation. The home was very clean and had everything we needed and then some.
The area is beautiful and the beach was very clean. You cannot beat the views from the home.
We look forward to staying here again!

Beach view was amazing. Pet friendly. Comfortable beds. cute cottage at one time but sorely neglected in cleanliness. Fridge not clean, windows that don't open or shut all the way. Bedroom door won't shut due to rubbing on floor. Breakers kept tripping if we had the coffee pot and toaster on at the same time. Cottage location was exceptional but for the cost the cottage was not well maintained and needed repairs badly. Would have stayed again however well look for a more maintained location in the future.
My husband and I stayed here with our 4 year old and dog just after labor day. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and we all had a blast exploring Fort Popham and Fort Baldwin and taking a walk to the island during low tide. There were two restaurants within a 10 min drive (one of them much better than the other) and day trips to Bath and/or Boothbay Harbor were reasonable distance. Only thing that would make it perfect is if the beach access was not impacted by the tides (not accessible at high tide), but we lucked out with tide schedule that it wasn't too impactful. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Beautiful little cottage right on the water! Great location for the price. The lighting is incredible. If you wake up earlier enough, you’ll get to see the sun rise right over the water. The beach was easily accessible and very private. It was the perfect size for our group of 4–cozy but still spacious. The only issue was that there was a small ant problem (not very noticeable except for near the door), but definitely did not detract from our stay!
The location is Maine oceanfront at it's finest. The stretch of private beach is dog friendly and well-maintained between the historical fort and the State park. It's breathtaking with a lighthouse and small islands in view. The accommodations offered everything we needed and more. The owner was exceptional in her level of communication and customer service. We hope to be return guests. Thank you Deb!
