A beautiful home hosted by a lovely and entertaining couple. The views are unbeatable and the room is clean and cosy. Had a wonderful time. Will be back again one day.

We had a wonderful time! Beautiful home, property, and welcoming hosts. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Great place to visit! Very relaxing and picturesque location. I would definitely stay with Ara and Dar again!

It came as a wondrous surprise when I was driven to Ara and Dar's home deep into the forest in Phippsburg, a group of wild deer came out of the woods to "have a look" of me. The rest of my stay there was just like that, full of enchanting acquaintances starting with Ara, the lady who was just like my mother, strong, loving, and full of life. It was a welcoming home. I felt like a family friend staying with Ara and Dar, meeting their visiting family members during my long stay. It's such a lovely family; each one of them gave me a birthday present and surprised me with their kindness and generosity. The house could not be in a better location. The drive to the house was prettier than anywhere else I've visited and the views from our windows and walking along the river just paces away from the house at sun rise was just stunningly beautiful. There were 4 bedrooms upstairs for airbnb guests, all equipped and decorated just like a comfortable home. There was everything we needed, and more. Ara didn't offer breakfast but she had coffee, tea, and small cakes prepared for her guests. Everyday, I got to meet up with new guests from different parts of the world, bringing with them their unique stories and culture. Is there a better way to meet up with interesting people? A great airbnb home! I'll definitely recommend to all my family and friends.

Ara and Dar were very welcoming and eager to make me feel at home. The location is wonderful (and quiet) and the house is spacious and full of natural light. My room was adjacent to the shared bathroom so it was very convenient.

Ara and Dar are wonderful hosts and they have a very lovely home that they enjoy sharing. They are very lovely people. The accommodations were just as described, clean, and very comfortable. A real gem! Please note, their home is out in the country down well maintained dirt roads. I was on a motorcycle and it was fine, though it does mean you pay attention.

Because I was in upstate Maine, out of reach of GPS and the like, they got in touch with me during my trip and reassured me that there would be someone at home for my arrival.

Ara and Dar were great hosts. Beautiful house and location.Everything as described.

We had a terrific time at Bay House! It was very clean and well-equipped. It was awesome to go watch the sun set on the beach and not have to drive an hour home. We can't wait to go back!

We did not meet the host other than our online communication. This is a summer camp, a nice one, not a year round home. The location and view are very nice. It is close to the parks and beaches at Popham and you can see the fort from the home.

This property was lovely and Meg made the check-in process simple. The cottage was clean, comfortable, well-stocked with kitchen necessities, bed linens and bath towels. The heat worked fine to take the chill off on a misty, chilly morning. The location was perfect for water views (saw several people digging clams at low tide) and just hanging out outside. Popham Beach is one of the most beautiful I have ever been on and is wonderful for walking. The beach pass that Meg provides is a nice perk.

beautiful little house directly at the sea far off everthing. if you need a place to relax this is it. communication with meg was perfect although we never met...everything was prepared at our arrival. highly recommended.

Great house in a great location, close to beach, historic fort and restaurants. We really enjoyed the view. Great communication with Meg. Hope to go back soon.

Cottage was exactly as expected! We loved the location and closeness to Popham Beach. Fully stocked kitchen we a huge bonus. We will definitely be staying here again!

Go here! It's perfect! I guess if I had anything at all to suggest as an improvement it might be to turn the bed in the master bedroom so it's easier to access from both sides. Otherwise I would not change one single thing! The property and the fall colors were absolutely stunning! Thank you Meg!

We arrived in the dark so didn't appreciate the incredible natural beauty of the cottage's location. With the wonderful freshly laid eggs left in the fridge for us, we breakfasted on the balcony overlooking the water without another soul in sight. It was glorious. The cottage is off the beaten track, which is great. Set in wonderful nature and with some interesting nearby curiosities to enjoy (the civil war fort was a great, unexpected find). Well-stocked with kitchenware and well-furnished, I would definitely come again.

We loved staying at this house - the location was amazing, comfortable beds, clean and spacious. This was our first time in Maine and this was a great place for exploring the coast and local towns. We were a family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers - our 14 year old slept on a sofa bed in the basement which he thought was great; the rest of us slept in the 2 bedrooms upstairs.

The cottage was very clean and representative of the pictures posted. We were able to enjoy the deck looking at the ocean and watching stars in the evening. Having two bathrooms and access to washer/dryer was a plus but we were unable to use the basement for anything else. The 3rd sleeping area was the living room which was okay if you wanted to be awakened with the sunrise as there were no curtains/blinds. The location to the beach and other areas of interest were great.

This was our second stay here and we love it. Extremely clean and cozy. Very quiet neighborhood and only a quick drive to Popham. Spacious and inviting. Tucked away in the woods. A nice sunroom that was fun to sit in on a very rainy day! Will come back.

The cabin is located on a beautifully quiet and private road with views of the river. It was clean and well managed. The sun deck was under construction (Richard let us know in advance that this was going to be the case) but it will be great when the renovations are done. The jets in the jacuzzi unfortunately shot out dirty water but with a bit of effort that worked as well. Great place to spend the weekend.

We had a lovely weekend at Richard's house. It is well-situated and ideal for visiting Popham beach. The house was clean and well-equipped, with a very pleasant kitchen and living area. We especially enjoyed the view. We would love to return. Thank you!

A very silent, clean and tidy house. It has a great view. So awesome view in the night to see the stars, you won't want to miss it.

Richard's place is cozy, quite and beautiful. Everything works very well now - wifi, heating and kitchen. The places can easily fit 6 ppl. There are one double bedroom, one double bedroom, at the least one sofa bed in the living and another sofa bed in the function room.

Richard is very responsive to questions concerning the house . We had a lovely time there. It is very quiet and the sunrise is just like the picture from the living room window. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in the evening. And the size of the kitchen is a huge plus with 4 of us there. Only regret was there is no path to the water but the view from the deck is lovely. We also enjoyed watching the blue heron in the pond in the ravine from the living room window. great place to rest and relax.

Philip is a wonderful host. He always makes us feel welcome and we love staying in either of his houses in Bath ME (Studio cottage or the main house). We are repeat guests and the houses are beautifully decorated and are always clean and well stocked. I really can't say enough about how wonderful our experience has been. Philip responds so quickly whenever we have a question and he checks in to make sure we have what we need. We have several more visits planned and will be making more reservations in the future.

Philip was very helpful and responsive to my inquires. The cottage is situated in a very beautiful location. The only thing that separates you from the Kennebec River is the marshes. So there is a good deal of privacy. The very comfortable queen bed faces east displaying beautiful sunrises over the river. The house was pleasing decorated, simple and functional. It is an open floor plan which is nicely designed. The location was only a mile or so from Bath center. I would stay there again.

Pip was a wonderful host and very accommodating. The cottage was beautifully located. Being so close to the water, it was so peaceful and relaxing. It was also a great location for day trips too.

Pip was fantastic at making sure we had everything we needed. He recommended things to do in the area and checked in halfway through our stay to make sure we didn't need anything. The nest was the perfect location for our visit!

We had a lovely stay. The cottage was beautiful, bright, airy, and clean. The windows provide excellent views of the river. Pip provides a nice guide to restaurants and things to do in the area, and he even brought us a quart of milk for our coffee. Would definitely stay there again.

The nest was a perfect place to stay for a couple nights on our way up the Maine coast. Lots of stuff to do within a 30 min drive (Reid State Park, Freeport outlets, L.L.Bean flagship store, Maine Coastal Botanical Gardens). Bath was a very cute and convenient town as well. A couple great breakfast places we tried in the area (Mae's Cafe & Wenegance Geberal Store) were excellent. Philip was very responsive and easy to communicate with as well. He is a great host!

Enjoyed 4 nights at Pip's "nest" cottage. This clean comfortable cottage is in a quiet location close to Bath and convenient to Popham Beach. Pip includes a list of suggestions of places to eat and play, he is very attentive to questions you might have, and checked in with us ( by email) throughout the week. We appreciated the products we found in the house to make our stay easier. We found the light filled studio extremely peaceful, especially when the larger house was vacant.

Pip was absolutely great from the get-go. He gave me everything I needed, was available if I needed anything else, was friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful cottage just beside the ocean. We had the best time there! The sunsets were so beautiful. Very well equiped and welcoming. Rustic but comfortable. A lot of things to do around there. Anita has a great guidebook with a lot of suggestions.Anita was a really great host. She met us in town and drove with us to the cabin. I would go back right now!

Anita is a wonderful host, and her cabin on the Maine coast is absolutely beautiful. We had a lovely time watching the sunset from the dock and relaxing on the deck, and slept well in the cozy beds. The house is spacious and has everything you need for cooking, as well as many interesting books and board games. We especially enjoyed reading about the history of Brightwater! The composting toilet and rainwater shower worked well - we felt we were roughing it a little bit, but were very comfortable. The location in Phippsburg is lovely - a real wilderness feel, less than a 3 hour drive from Boston. Suggestions for things to do in the area were helpful and well thought-out - Popham Beach is beautiful, and Fat Boy drive-in was very tasty. Highly recommended!

Our family of 4 (including two young kids) had a great stay in Phippsburg. We loved the house, which was perfect for us: rustic, yet very comfortable. The setting was beautiful as we were surrounded by trees and could walk to the water. The composting toilet was not a problem at all (easy to use, no smell at all). We wished we had stayed longer to explore more of the nearby beaches and villages. Thanks to Anita for her warm welcome and for making our stay memorable!

It was A very peaceful Location just in The nature. WE spent many Hours on the terrace. Anita Met US at the cabin und explained everything . We've also got tasty Green Mountain coffee. Thank you Anita For the wonderful experience

Anita's home was the ideal, mildly remote, peaceful waterfront cabin that I was craving after my hectic graduation. We had a great time lighting the wood stove, playing board games, hanging out down by the water, and spending time on the porch. We spent rainy days in Bath and Brunswick, and explored Wiscasset and Boothbay Harbor. We would have loved to get out on the water, but couldn't touch base with the local kayaking rental company. Accommodations were very comfortable, if a bit intimate- you can hear absolutely every noise everyone makes in the house! Kitchen was very well stocked with all necessities, and composting toilet was really no big deal.

A beautiful house along the ocean/river... beautiful nature, a nice host family and the grand mother next door.... Brightwater is worthwhile and all the region between Brunswick, Bath, Wiscasset.... we saw whales, the children were excited I would recommand a trip in Maine and on this coast... it is far but charming and very special.... Thank you Anita! We have very good souvenirs:)

Had the best experience both in communicating with Anita and with our stay at the cabin! It is very comfortable, even though we were quite a few girls sharing 1 bathroom/cozy quarters. The kitchen was well equipped for our meals. It was a rainy weekend, but the cabin was spacious enough for us to all scatter around and read and relax and play games. The surrounding area is really beautiful and quiet, but not too far from amenities like grocery stores and restaurants. We took Anita's advice left in a guidebook and checked out some of the local hiking spots, restaurants, etc. Also an easy drive to Freeport for shopping on the more rainy afternoon. The composting toilet is not a problem, and since it was raining, there was more water than might be normally, but we found limiting our showers to around 5 minutes kept plenty of hot water for all of us to clean up frequently. The wood burning stove keeps the place really warm, and the light that comes in from the many windows keeps the place bright and airy! I would definitely recommend staying here, and we've all already discussed coming back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It is a truly great place for everyone who wants to escape the hectic of the city. We found everything as described and Anita was a great host! Highly recommended!

The house was a great place to explore the area. Tucked back from the road and close to beautiful Popham beach. We went to the farmers market in bath, which was lovely. The house was immaculate and very updated - amazing master bath.

Great home. Great location tucked into the forest. Quiet and peaceful. Three bedrooms: master is wonderful, two other great bedrooms for the kids. Fully functional kitchen with all the amenities: plates, bowls, cups, silverware, knives, pots, pans, spices, oils, etc. Propane BBQ grill works great. TV, stereo (listening room), games, all great. We had visits to Bath (10 minutes) and Wiscasset (25 minutes).

Overall our stay in Phippsburg was wonderful. The location is great - we loved being so close to the local beaches. The downstairs space is great - big kitchen and comfortable living area. Scott was super easy to communicate with.

We had the most memorable time on vacation staying at Scott's place. The location, ease and flexibility of our stay was perfect. My husband and I and our two very young daughters were comfortable, safe and had all the amenities we needed. Scott was very accommodating and allowed us to drop off our belongings though the house was being cleaned when we arrived. So we didn't waste an entire day on travel, we were able to go to Popham Beach when we arrived. When we got back to the house, everything was cleaned and very accurate to the photos. There were very few minor things that needed attention to the house and after making Scott aware of them, he assured me he would take care of them right away. We cannot wait to go back next year and stay at Scott's place again. It was ideal location and felt like we were staying at friends house.

We had a great time! The place is awesome! Lots of space to hang, barbecue, talk. Perfect for friends to spend some time together. I like the fact that it's enclosed in the wood so that it's really quiet. Really wish we had more time there.

Scott's house is ideal for anyone seeking a beach vacation near a beautiful Maine beach and a beautiful Maine town. Located less than 10 minutes from Popham State Park, and 10 minutes from the quaint and clean city of Bath, our family of five stayed there for 8 days and never ran out of things to do. The house is well-stocked with all the essentials, whether you want to cook your own meals or eat out. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are spotless, and there's plenty of room. Scott was very responsive to the few questions we had.

This house and location were optimal for a family or group wanting to have easy access to Popham Beach, the Fort, and getting into town. It was clean and spacious, quiet and yet convenient to town if need be. There is a nice access to kayaking at Sebasco Resort as well. The fresh seafood can't be beat at the stand just down the road toward the beach. A wonderful place to vacation all in all.

The house and neighborhood was exactly as in Scott's description. It was located in a quiet neighborhood very close to Popham Beach. The house was a perfect fit for our family. It was enough space to spend time together as having our own space in the rooms available. Scott made the house easily accessible and hassle-free that it really felt like our home away from home.

John and neighbor Bill were wonderful to work with and made our stay very enjoyable! House was clean and comfortable but only had a sliver of ocean view. However, a short walk got you to shoreline and views in this quaint little working lobster village. Thanks to Bill, had a great lobster feast buying lobster from the nearby wharf.

We 4 Canadian Ladies enjoyed our 2 day stay. The house was quaint, cozy & we loved it. Kitchen was well equipped. John did meet us just after our arrival, and offered us Kayaks, and suggested where we could walk to enjoy some great views. We discovered upon arrival the AirBNB main shot was actually the view from the yard, and not a picture of the house we would be staying in. We were a little disappointed that we would not in fact, have a roof top deck to sit upon to enjoy the view, since that was why we chose the Sand Dollar. However, We still had a great time, and between the rain downpours we were able to walk around this beautiful community. We discovered we needed to drive about 30 minutes to Bath, ME for food, restaurants & tourist shopping. All along our 2 day travels up in Maine, we always came across friendly people. Shop owners, restaurant staff, Grocery store personnel. We loved it!

We felt very welcome here, greeted upon arrival and then gave us our space. Loved the cottage, lots of vintage appointments, great location with a small beach within walking distance.

Everything was exactly as described, very satisfied.

The house was great. Bill the manager came by and made us feel very welcome. The small community there is very friendly and the views... The whole reason to go there is for the wonderful coastal views. Sunrise in the morning was very nice (if you are an early riser). Everything is very close by, food, other sites to visit, etc... Perfect location to explore the Maine coast from.

We spent two nights at the cottage in mid September. It is a very charming, clean and comfortable house. It feels bigger inside than it looks from outside - we had plenty of space for our family of four and could easily have brought a couple more kids. I really liked the layout with the smaller kids rooms (2 twin beds each) upstairs and main bedroom downstairs. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped for cooking in terms of pots/pans/utensils/dishes - just realize you have to bring EVERYTHING for cooking even basic spices, oil, etc. There are really two connected living rooms, one with large TV/DVD (but no DVDs - bring your own!) and second more of a conversational set up, with a sliding glass door to a cute backyard with firepit and picnic table. There's also a front porch with a gas grill that we made use of. Wifi worked well. John was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Both he and Bill (the local caretaker) stopped by after we arrived to say hello and make sure we were settled in which I thought was quite nice. Something to note (as someone not previously familiar with Phippsburg) is that this area is pretty remote - you're a good 30 minutes from a grocery store so be sure to stock up on anything you'll want for cooking before you arrive. After a very long day of driving, I definitely didn't want to turn around and go back to get the milk we forgot. The little farm store around the corner seemed to never be open. John recommended several choices for restaurants in Bath but as we were tired we went to Spinney's on the peninsula and couldn't have been happier - family restaurant atmosphere right on the water, friendly staff, reasonably priced seafood and steaks, decent beer selection, draft root beer and a sweet shirley temple made by a charming bartender for our daughter. Perfect for first night on the coast! Popham Beach is spectacular, probably one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen and I wish we could have spent a lot more time there. The provision of a beach pass to avoid parking fees is a really nice touch from the hosts here. We also had a lot of fun just climbing around the rocks in Cat Cove a 2 minute walk down the road from the house. Overall - a very nice experience!

Did not stay at this place due to my partner falling ill the morning of our stay. Stephen communicated in a efficient manner. He did not know about refunds and I did not receive one. I had requested from Stephen to change to a later date on the website for $20 in order not for all of the money to go to waste, but it was denied.
