Phippsburg, Maine
The Sand Dollar Cottage is a classic quaint Maine cottage in picturesque Maine fishing village that just finished a major remodel which came out beautiful! The first floor master bedroom has a queen size bed. There are two more bedrooms upstairs which walk out to a brand new deck with awesome views of the ocean.
There is a dining room and sitting area adjacent to the living room which has amazing views of the crashing ocean . The kitchen has everything you'd need. A full bathroom completes the first floor.
The location of the Sand Dollar Cottage in West Point makes an ideal “home base” for any vacation you choose. For those who “need to get away from it all” you can spend your entire vacation in West Point. Guests can lazily relax on our deck or perhaps take a short stroll to Cat Cove for swimming, shell collecting and tide pool exploring. Cat Cove is a great location to launch your kayaks for a day of exploring nearby harbors and islands. Be sure to keep a look out for eagles, loons, cormorants and seals! A Maine vacation must is fresh seafood for a lobster or clam bake. You can take a leisurely stroll down to the local lobster pound for the fresh catch of the day.
History: For those of you who enjoy more history and more activity, West Point and its surrounding areas provide just that. West Point is one of the oldest and scenic fishing villages in Maine. Many of the locals are descendants of the original fishermen who settled here. Close to West Point is historic Popham. Popham is one of the earliest English settlements during Colonial America being settled in 1607. Though it was unsuccessful it led to later settlement along the Maine coast. Popham State Beach is a beautiful 500 acre beach of white sand. It is definitely worth a visit. When the tide is out, you can walk across the beach to a nearby island. Fort Popham, from the Civil War years is close by and is ready to be explored.
The nearest city to West Point is Bath, “the City of Ships”. Maine’s first ships were built here in this area around 1607-1608. If you are interested in shipbuilding the Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into Maine’s boat building past.
Shopping and exploring: Quaint shops and restaurants make Bath a fun day trip. Boat rentals can be found in Bath for touring or fishing the Kennebec River. Golf courses are also in the area. To the north of Bath is Boothbay Harbor. It is another excellent day trip for vacationers! It has shops, restaurants and antiques. Whale watching, Puffin watching and lighthouse boating excursions are available at the wharf. Brunswick, another historic town nearby offers shopping, restaurants, Bowdoin College and the Joshua L. Chamberlain Museum. L.L.Bean’s flagship store is located south in Freeport. It is opened 24 hours a day and is a good place to go on rainy days. Freeport also has many name brand outlets. Portland is about an hour away and has many historic sites, shopping and great restaurants as well.
After many request we now offer sea kayak rentals on site for exploring the coast and harbors. Both singles and tandems.
Really sweet space. We came for a caregiver respite, and it was a lovely respite in this very comfortable home. The bed was so comfortable, the view is unbeatable, close to gorgeous beaches and rocky coastal and woodland walks. Great covid safety measures. Walk down the street to buy your lobster!
We loved the house, and the West Point neighborhood was just lovely. There are gorgeous views from the decks, particularly the upper deck, which is off both upstairs bedrooms. The fire pit in the back yard is a nice touch. Bill was very responsive and helpful. We were just there for a fall weekend but we imagine it must be fantastic in the summer!
A quite coastal Maine setting with beautiful ocean views equal pure relaxation! Cottage was fabulous...its two decks, ocean views, outside fire pit, and location made for a perfect vacation!
Beautiful property. Well maintained. Very relaxing and the people everywhere were very friendly. Bill was attentive whenever we needed assistance. Thank you!
Our 5 day stay was relaxing and comfortable. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The neighborhood was great with a lovely cove at the end of the road. We were provide with a pass to Popham Beach and totham preserve which were both great. we enjoyed the fire pit and the large decks.. Perfect get away!
Secluded location But not far from a few restaurants and grocery store. House had everything we needed and was very warm and comfortable. Love that we could take a short stroll to the beach and the property manager was awesome. Must check out Popham State Beach.
Our group had an amazing time at Bill’s cottage! It was so beautifully decorated and was very comfortable for the 5 of us (plus our dog). We had so much fun exploring Phippsburg and Bath and swimming at Totman Cove and Cat Cove. Beautiful skies for stargazing at night by the fire and viewing the sunset and sunrise! The kitchen was well stocked with different cookware, making our lobster-cooking dreams come true! :) We had a truly incredible time and would love to visit again someday! Bill was very responsive and the neighbors were quite friendly! This place is the best!!
This property has it all. There were 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 kids under age 8. The rooms were plenty large to put the kids wherever they needed to be. It is furnished with an adorable mix of antique pieces, but easy to child proof. We rented kayaks for an afternoon in the cove, we cooked lobster at the cottage purchased on the dock a couple cottages down, used the pass for Totman Preserve beach (PERFECT for kids!), and Popham (awesome at lowish tide, but prepare for a walk in and out!). The circle of cottages here is adorable, the perfect picturesque fishing village. Bill is super helpful, super friendly, and super responsive. We are already looking for excuses to book another stay here! 15 out of 10 rating!
House was clean with plenty of space. Bathrooms newly renovated, deck was great for eating dinner and socializing. Small quiet little village Town with cheap lobster a walk away. Great small semi private beach close buy was great for the kids. Planning to stay again.
Wonderful swimming in Cat Cove, and a nice quiet neighborhood. Bill was very responsive to the few small issues that arose.
