In the front of the house, there is plenty of space for parking and a charcoal grill for summertime barbecues. At the foot of the porch you’ll find a year-round hot tub nestled among the pine trees and blueberry bushes with views of the water and Popham Beach State Park. Step through the trail of blueberry bushes down to the tidal waterfront where you can go swimming, kayaking, fishing, and even clam digging at low tide. There are two kayaks for guests to float around the bay, explore the tidal rivers that cut through the flood plains, or even kayak all the way to Fort Popham. You can also embark on a leisurely hike directly from the house by crossing the street to Spirit Pond, a preserve containing 3.5 miles of trails traversing the water, the flood plains, and the surrounding forest.
Our home is located just a two-minute drive from Popham Beach, where the activities are endless – swimming, sunbathing, surfing, going for a walk along the four-mile beach, exploring the tidal pools and Fox Island, and enjoying sightings of seals, dolphins, and even whales.
What’s nearby:
Directly across the bay, you can immerse yourself on a walk through American history featuring American Revolution-era batteries at Fort Baldwin, Civil War-era Fort Popham, and the site of the 1606 Popham Colony, a failed British colony which preceded the Mayflower’s landing at Plymouth. Play tennis or a round of golf at nearby Sebasco Resort, or go on a beautiful hike to Seawall Beach at Morse Mountain. Experience quintessential Maine’s fresh lobster and oysters at a one of the peninsula’s waterfront restaurants. Take a stroll through galleries, local shops, and the Maine Maritime Museum in the historic shipbuilding town of Bath, just 20 minutes away. Or, head back towards civilization for dinner and a concert in Brunswick (30 min), check out the shops of Freeport (45 min), walk through historic Boothbay Harbor (50 min), or explore the bustling port and nightlife in Portland (1 hr).
This is an immaculate home ~ with a lovely view watched the sunrise and moonrise ~ hit tub ~ we made meals played games and watched movies. The kitchen it lovely and we hope to return again. Thank you so much.
This was a great location for trips to Popham beach - we went each day of the vacation. The home was very private and comfortable and we could hear the sound of ocean waves from the hot tub outside. The owner was easy to communicate with and offered great advice for activities in the area. We will definitely be returning for future vacations - our two year old said I'd like to come back as we were leaving on the last day.
We loved our stay in Maine! The house was nicely located to Popham beach and it was nice to be close to the water of Atkins Bay. With the tide out we tried our hand at clamming and later explored in the kayaks. We used the hot tub and the several board games. We used the lobster pot for some local lobsters and found a nearby fishing charter for Stripers. It is a 20 minute drive to the grocery but no bother. The place was perfect for us and I left there wishing I had a place just like it. I would definitely return for another visit.
