    We had the most wonderful week at Jeff's house! Could not get over the view and spent many, many hours just watching the tides change at Fort Popham. The proximity to Popham (and included Parks pass) meant we could pop over to the beach without a production. The kitchen was well stocked and the house immaculate when we checked in. Like all old houses, this had it's layout quirks with one bathroom on the main floor and another through a bedroom on the second floor. However, it didn't pose any problems with our group of four adults + toddler. We especially appreciated a youth chair in the dining room and the lack of breakable knickknacks with the toddler in tow. It was an amazing and relaxing week - we couldn't have asked for a more perfect trip!

    A beautiful, old ,beach house with character . My vision of vacation is to do nothing with a great view and lobster . Mission accomplished. The rest of the family needed beach and kayaking . Also mission accomplished. I wish we could have stayed longer

    This is truly an amazing property! We loved the authentic atmosphere of this old sea captains house. Plenty of space for our family of 6 adults, the view and the waterfront are amazing, and having kayaks to explore the coast made it even better! I wish we could spend all summer there!

    Our family had a peaceful summer vacation with priceless views of the water. The on-site owners were kind and very hospitable!

    A fantastic week. The house has lots of character and the perfect setting for a week on the coast of Maine. The house was well supplied with cook and serving ware. Gorgeous views from every room Peaceful and relaxing. An 11 out of 10

    Beautiful view and right on the water. Enjoyed the grounds, especially Jeff's perch. Nice just relaxing on the patio or doing some Kayaking!

    Beautiful property, with a envious view of the river and bay. The pictures are great, but watching the different weather systems come in, and the changing view hourly makes it almost worth the trip alone. Secluded, but not too far away from essentials.

    Very charming, 100+ year old house, right on the water. We stayed with our two kids and they loved spending time in the two enclosed screen rooms. Owners were absolutely fantastic - the internet didn't work the first day and Jeff was there within 5 minutes to fix it. The only downside is that one of the two bathrooms is in the kitchen, so if you are staying in the master bedroom, you have to walk downstairs and through the living room in order to access the bathroom.
