Spacious Waterfront Summer Home with Swimming, Kayaking, and Sunsets

This four-bedroom house sits high above the New Meadows River, with strong wi-fi throughout. Relax on the large decks with an expansive view of this wide, salt-water, tidal river and enjoy the eagles flying overhead. Ducks, herons, cormorants, osprey, and eagle swim in or fly above the river, sailboats zip along, and lobster boats pass back and forth, trailed by sea-gulls. If you're lucky you might even see a seal pop its head up as it swims along. Glimpses of the Basin can also be seen from the side deck. Play frisbee or badminton on the front lawn, wander down the path through pine trees and blueberry bushes to the water, picking blueberries and raspberries along the way (in season). Enjoy the view from the rocky coast or walk down the dirt road to a communal cove with easy wading and swimming access. We have a double sit-on-top kayak and two single sit-on-top kayaks available for you to take out to explore the river with the osprey and seals. The combination of lawn, woods, path, and rocky coast make the property a children's wonderland. The house has a beautiful dining/living room space. The dining room is perfect for large family dinners, with seating for up to 8 at the dining room table. The living room has two comfortable couches, a flat-screened television, and a working fireplace. The well-stocked kitchen is comfortable, with ample counter space, dishwasher, and microwave. Our family has spent many years cooking sea-food feasts and baked deserts, and so the kitchen is stocked with a good selection of cooking utensils for these items, including a large pot suitable for lobsters or steaming clams. The first floor has a gorgeous, airy master bedroom that is down a long hall from the rest of the house, offering privacy and separation from the goings-on in the living room/dining area. The master bedroom has a cathedral ceiling, wooden beams, and an office area that overlooks the New Meadows River, as well as its own doors out to a small patio that is ringed with wildflowers and has views of the river. The first-floor bathroom has a tub/shower with a sky-light above it, so that you can shower with views of pine trees and sky. The toilet and sink are separated from the shower area with a sliding door, so that it is possible for a person to take a shower without blocking bathroom access. The second floor of the house is quaint and rustic, with wood paneling throughout. There are three bedrooms on the second floor (two with water views). The largest second-floor bedroom has a King sized bed and windows on two sides, including a river view. There is a 2nd second-floor bedroom with two twin beds and a view of the river, and a 3rd second-floor bedroom with two twin beds and a small nook with children's play items. While this 3rd bedroom does not overlook the river, its windows offer lovely views of the Maine woods. The second-floor bathroom has a toilet, sink, and shower, but no tub. Throughout, the house is full of rustic charm. The house sits along a dirt road just past the paved section, making it both secluded and with easy access to the surrounding area, including the towns of Bath and Brunswick (both of which offer shopping and many restaurant options, both inexpensive and upscale), and the beautiful state parks Popham Beach and Reid State Park. Freeport and its outlet shopping, Portland with its fine dining and museums, and the art galleries of Wiscasset are all within an hour drive. You can spend the day exploring and come home to enjoy a gorgeous sunset from the west-facing deck or the dining area's large windows. The house has a washer and dryer, wireless Internet access, one flat-screened TV and cable, and is well stocked with games. There is a small selection of family-friendly DVDs and a DVD player, and an old record player with the family's record collection of jazz, classical, classic rock, and musical cast albums that you are welcome to enjoy.

This is our third stay at this amazing property. The minute we walk in, we feel like we are home. It has an open yet cozy feel and we love the kitchen. It's all ready for lobster cooking too. The owners are just lovely and we just wish it wasn't so far from Oregon or we would go more often!

This was one of the best VRBO homes I have stayed in. The views of the sunset were beautiful, the house was extremely comfortable, it was in a quiet location, but it easy to get to the town of Bath. The hostess was so accommodating. I would definitely consider returning. It was my friends first time to Maine. They fell in love with it.

Absolutely perfect Maine vacation home! The space is so thoughtfully laid out for lounging, cooking, game nights, and importantly coffee mornings and happy hours on the porch overlooking the water and sunsets, listening to the boats and birds. The cove was nice for swimming at high tide, picnic and kayaking. You MUST check out the hammock by the water. We went to Bath for the Saturday farmers market which was so lovely, and spent a day in Portland too! 100% would book again.

Wonderful Weekend Escape

What a lovely place to enjoy a long holiday weekend away with the family. We loved the large deck for relaxing on in the late afternoon and watching the sun go down. Our boys loved the large yard for playing and relaxing on the hammock near the water. Bedrooms were nice and everyone slept well. Recommended!

Amazing Maine getaway.

This was such a special place to spend our family vacation. We enjoyed kayaking, playing badminton, going to the beach and watching sunsets from the deck. We also loved spotting bald eagles and even an owl while we were there. The house was clean and well appointed. The owner was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. We highly recommend this location for a true Maine vacation!

North east getaway

Property owner had great information for local attractions, go Lobstering! The property is off the main path and the kayak and water access was great way to relax just would be nice to not have to walk down the road for beach access but the view was nice from the deck. The house is dated but clean and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay.

Pleasant escape to Phippsburg

Beautiful location with water views. Short walk to picturesque cove. Relatively short drive to Popham Beach, a long beach great for walking with views of multiple islands. Appreciated addition of A/C to living area and upstairs bedrooms as it was hot (at least for Maine). Well equipped kitchen. Pet friendly so we could bring our dog.

Great spot for families

This home is in a gorgeous location. The view is amazing and the atmosphere is peaceful. We loved the hammocks on the property and the winding path to the water. House was well stocked with essentials - including window fans. We spent most days at Popham or exploring Mid-Coast area (Boothbay and Camden). Alwynne was super helpful. If you are considering Phippsburg as a vacation spot, this house is a must!

Amazing House!

This is a beautiful, well thought out, clean, lovely home. I can't say enough good things about it. It is a lived in home and not a cookie-cutter sterile empty place that is only there to make money. It is clear that people live here and that they love the house. The art on the walls is beautiful. Great location, nice beach, close to everything and yet beautifully secluded. We really loved our stay and thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Lake view respite

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at new meadow cove spot. The views were spectacular, there was a large living/dining area that was open and surrounded by windows. It got pretty hot during our stay so we greatly appreciated the air conditioning making things much more comfortable! The house is in close proximity to Popham state beach (with access to a state park pass), Bath, Brunswick and Freeport are close by as is Boothbay. Nice quiet location and perfect if you are looking to relax and disconnect. Alwynne was very prompt and responsive!

Excellent stay in Phippsburg

We had a wonderful stay at this house with extended family. We were a group of eight and we had plenty of room to spread out. We had quite a bit of rain but the house is so bright and living areas so spacious that it was not a problem being stuck inside. The house is part of a small, quiet community with a common dock area which was great for swimming and kayaking. On two evenings we had family from Portland come up for dinner and there was plenty of room for a large crowd to spread out. This is a special property with much of the original old house blended with new updates that make it very comfortable and bright. Communication with owner was excellent. We would absolutely rent this property again if ever up in the area.

This house is in a perfect location on the Phippsburg peninsula. Our family enjoyed swimming and kayaking from the community dock only steps from the house. Our kids and dog loved playing in the yard as we watched sunsets from the porch over the cove. Beautiful Popham beach and Fort Popham are only a 15 minute drive. Bath for shopping and restaurants is also only 15 minutes away. The house itself was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The kitchen is well equipped with all we needed. The porch and yard are both fantastic. I would highly recommend this wonderful place!

Amazing Maine Coastal Waterfront Summer HomeMy family and extended family loved our stay in this spacious, summer home with lovely water views of the New Meadows River, gardens, and wildlife (deer, seal pup and bald eagle). The property and home is very well maintained. There was plenty of room for our family of 7. The views from the bedrooms and especially the living/dining room and wrap around deck are spectacular.We appreciated using the state park pass to go to Popham Beach and Reid State Park. Other highlights were sitting on the deck and on the lawn at sunrise enjoying our cups of coffee and tea, birdwatching, and lovely sunsets with family, visiting nearby Fort Popham, Bath, Bath & Iron Works, Five Islands and so much more. Communication with the host was excellent. We highly recommend this lovely and spacious property and hope to return. Thank you for your hospitality!

Nice walk from the house in the wooded quiet area end of peninsula. Beautiful grounds, cute nearby cove and dock, kayaks, peaceful and quiet. Really enjoyed the Popham Beach pass. Phippsburg is so cute as well as Bath, where we spent a fun rainy day (good coffee, nice shops). We highly recommend Spinneys, Trish’s pies, Winnegance Cafe. Alwynne was extremely responsive via text to any questions or issues and fixed a few minor problems immediately.

Beautiful getaway spot

We had some extended family coming for a long weekend and wanted to stay somewhere by the water. This house has a very beautiful and large main bedroom suite on the first floor, perfect for my elderly in-laws. The living/dining area was extremely spacious and comfortable with gorgeous water views, and very nice furniture. Same for the deck. The kitchen and second floor bedrooms are a bit more rustic, but that has its own charm and they are well appointed and comfortable. To get down to water's edge is a short, fairly steep hike, not for everyone, but you can enjoy the water view without going down there. Very pretty sunsets!

My husband and I with our dog - RV camped at Acadia for a week prior to this visit. For our second week of vacation, our 3 single adult children joined us at this property. I don’t know how long it’s been since we were all together for a week. The house, the property, the towns the beaches - everything was so special. We played lawn games, read, relaxed, kayaked and went to the beach. Every night, after sunset (!!) we played cards and games…it was a marvelous place .Our last night we went with Captain Joe Jerome (North East Salt Water) on his boat to his oyster nursery. We stood on a floating platform , in Casco Bay and learned all about oysters, their life cycle and body structure. Joe taught us how to shuck them and he gave us gloves and knives and we shucked and ate until we couldn’t possibly eat any more. As we motored back we got to enjoy one last sunset on the boat before leaving. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home. Jo-Ann and family

September Getaway

It was a pleasure to be able to plan a vacation after staying close to home for over two years. Maine has always been a favourite destination, so we started looking for a pet-friendly property in our preferred location. Alwynne’s home seemed perfect and it was available for the week we wanted. Our interaction with her was excellent. She was very responsive and answered any questions we had. We had no problem finding the property and the house was just as the photos showed. It’s a lovely, large home with a warm, family feel to it. Lots of room to accommodate large groups. The sunsets off the deck were spectacular. Our black lab enjoyed exploring the large property. Alwynne provided lots of information on local restaurants and things to do. The check-in and check-out process was easy and we’d definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway and a true Maine experience!
