I've been staying at Popham Beach since I was a kid (so, ahem, about 50 years now) and this is by far the best, coziest, still-feels-like-old-Maine cottage I've ever stayed in. It's a privilege to stay in a place that's such a gem and family-owned. I very much look forward to returning and so do my (adult) kids!

We had another fantastic week on the beach just steps from the house. Such a serene, beautiful location. See you next summer!

The cottage is in a great location, just steps from the beach. Sue and Joe are fantastic owners that responded to any issues we had. We did have an issue with ants in the cottage but Sue took care of it as quickly as possible. Would love to stay again!

Nothing beats the quiet expanse of sand right out the doorstep of Rockledge cottage. We had another great year and can’t wait to come back.

Every year our family enjoys our time at Rockledge Cottage. The views, privacy and proximity to the beach are fantastic and the cottage itself is very comfortable.

This was my second year staying at this lovely cottage along the shoreline of Popham Beach, our family's special place to gather for over 40 years. The cottage and amenities are perfect for enjoying the beach, lazy mornings on the deck playing board games and reading. Plenty of nooks and crannies inside for peaceful moments all with an amazing view of the ocean. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with me once again.
