Cozy and charming coastal retreat

Overall it was excellent and would rate it 4.5 stars not 4. Emily the host was very responsive, communicated very well, made great suggestions and check-in/out was easy. Extremely well decorated and VERY charming.It had everything we needed, great shower and amenities. Plus location as driving to Popham Beach, Bath, Freeport, Booth Bay Harbor, other beaches and even Portland were fast and easy commutes. Fresh lobster nearby steamed while you wait from Crabby Lobster Seafood (just follow the signs on Sebasco Road) made for delicious lobster rolls. The only deduction of a half star is that 3 of our 4 family members are over 6' tall and the attic/loft bedroom was quite a low ceiling. Also, the second loft bedroom with 2 twin beds were quite short better suited for small children.That being said we would still recommend.

Emily’s former schoolhouse was a rare find. I would highly recommend. The kitchen was fantastic. So well equipped and generously stocked with everything you’d typically have to supply yourself in many rentals. And Emily was a fabulous host - responsive, knowledgeable and gracious.

My family and I had an amazing time at the schoolhouse. It is much bigger than the pictures show! Great beds, the couches will force you to nap, and we had so much fun exploring the area. They had everything you need for fun at the beach, and lots of options for kids to keep busy. Highly recommend!

The property was clean and well stocked with everything you need. We were greeted with fresh flowers and homemade baked goods. The property owner was very responsive to communications and provide a folder with everything you need concerning the house and local attractions. It was a very pleasant stay.

We loved staying here, the hosts thought of everything and made our stay incredibly easy! It was gorgeous, well-kept, and looked even better in person! Although we adored our stay, I do wish I had known that you can't use the bathtub and are encouraged to conserve as much water as possible. With small children, this was tricky (plus I really wanted a bath). This is due to the water system, which is totally understandable with a building as old and preserved as it is, but I wish I known in the listing before I arrived.

Wonderful space to spend time in. We were a bit disappointed at the house's placement as there is no easy way to get to the ocean. However, Popham Beach is worth the 6 mile drive and Emily provided a free beach pass. Also of note is that there is only one bedroom with a door, the other spaces are truly lofts. This worked fine for us. The house is comfortable and spacious and Emily was attentive and helpful.

Our daughter found this place and invited us to come stay with her husband and 2 young children. The home could not have been more inviting. We enjoyed the attention to every little detail in their choice of decor, so inspiring! The host was very accessible when we reached out with questions. I imagine we will want to return again some day and highly recommend this beautiful home so close to our favorite family beach.

We had another great stay at the schoolhouse. The privacy yet short drive to Popham and hiking trails is one of our favorite things about the house. There is plenty of space for older kids to find their own area and for the younger kids to play epic games of hide and seek! The amenities and convenient touches are thoughtful and appreciated. Thanks again!

The schoolhouse is open and airy with two huge common spaces and wonderfully decorated down to every detail. Our young adult sons had plenty of space to hang out, which can otherwise be challenging! Location is great - close to Popham Beach, Bath, not far from Brunswick. Definitely recommend this place very highly!

Great home & area to celebrate a couple of family birthdays. Cozy & comfortable and very spacious. There was everything and some bonus amenities to make our stay awesome. The game room was fun along with the various books to read. Patio fire pit was great on the cool nights. Family looks forward to returning during a different time of year to explore the area better. Emily - Thank you having us & for having an amazing property. Claudia
