Great Beach House

5 of 5
Submitted: August 18, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
It was nice to have everything there in the house, all you needed were your beach towels, personal items and what ever groceries you wanted. Short walk (or can drive) to Persey's Gen. store and one of my favorites "Spinney's" restaurant, excellent seafood, food three meals a day if you want. The kitchen was very nice with all the necessities. Good quality water which is a huge plus on the ocean. Very private with spectacular views. Right on the beach and very close to both low tide sand bars for Wood Isl. and Fox Isl., lovely to walk out to them. Although I wanted to be away, it was good to be able to have my cell phone work as well. Popham Beach is the best beach in Maine in my opinion.

Rustically Beautiful

4 of 5
Submitted: June 22, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
This lovely, yet somewhat rustic cottage provided a wonderful setting for our family in our favorite coastal place. We found the cottage to be clean and well stocked with all that we needed for a great week at the beach. The cottage has great ocean views from most rooms and the small but cozy living room is a good place to linger, listen and watch the waves roll in on the beach. The upstairs bunk room felt like a tree house and was great for our sons but not recommended for young children as the steps are steep. Overall, we had a great week. We found, as always, Percys to be great for take out and lobster.
