Couldn't ask for a better location. We enjoyed sitting on the large porch every day watching the sunrise over the islands. The bed in the main bedroom was so very comfortable. We stayed the second week of September and were very fortunate to stay an entire week without any rain. This is a large home with space for many family members to spread out. We highly recommend this home if you are lucky enough too find an opening!/ TY, Jonathan.
We loved the porch and spent a lot of our time there. Unobstructed ocean view and easy walk over the dunes. You can walk the sand Beach for a couple of miles with no interruption. Great to be able to walk to Spinney's for lunch, dinner or ice cream, the Library and even Fort Popham if you make it part of your exercise routine. Drive up to the Fort Baldwin overlook site where the earliest ship made in America was built in the early 1600s. View of Fort Popham from there was great.
Really enjoyed the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath including the boat tour. Highly recommend.
This Popham Beach cottage was in many ways, the quintessential Maine beach house. With its sweeping views, private path to the sand & surf, wraparound porch and lovely bead-board interiors, it felt like a house out of the late 19th or early 20th centuries. However, the fully updated kitchen and gorgeous primary bedroom with attached bathroom made it comfortably modern as well. Our host was fabulous and quick to respond and my granddaughters and I had a perfectly picture-book time in the cottage. We all look forward to our next visit. I would highly recommend this property for small families who want to experience Maine by the shore. 100% worth every penny.
Been coming to Popham for many years and have rented many properties.
All have been great and we really enjoyed this year’s visit.
House is exactly as listed. Owner is a long time homeowner and has made major additions to a historic property.
Love rocking in the chairs on the balcony overlooking the beach and walking directly to the sand for long strolls for miles on the beach.
Recommend, yes , definitely.
My recent stay at this charming property was a wonderful experience overall! The location is fantastic, offering perfect tranquility and convenience. Nestled in a peaceful area, it was a joy to unwind and relax, yet close enough to local attractions and amenities to easily explore.
One of the highlights of this property is the beautiful, large deck. Spending mornings sipping coffee and evenings enjoying the sunset was an absolute delight.
I had the privilege of being the first renter of the season, which came with a small hiccup. We experienced some hot water issues and water pressure challenges initially. However, I must commend the owner for their prompt and efficient response. They addressed the problem quickly, ensuring we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The owner was helpful in pointing out some of the wonderful places in the area to explore and was very responsive to all communication. The beach is absolutely perfection. It is steps away from the house, so you can enjoy long walks throughout the day. I loved the ease of bringing our beach stuff from/to the house without a long walk or car commute.

A GREAT WEEK
We are originally from Maine and my dream had always been an extended stay at Popham. This cottage is excetionally charming and a very close walk to the beach. The wrap around porch is wonderful. We spent much of time out there enjoying the ocean view, having our morning coffee, and loving the sunrises and sunsets. We had the opportunity to see an Arleigh Burke destroyer coming down the Kennebec and on her way to her sea trials. What an experience that was. We used the wood stove two evenings that were cold and damp and the house was toasty warm in no time. We made trips to the fort and would recommend Spinney's Restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The only negative are the stairs. They would be difficult for someone with disabilities or problems with climbing stairs. Overall, the house is wonderful and we had a great week.
Nice to return to this beautiful gem at Popham. There's never a bad day at the beach and this cottage offers all the comforts of home yet so much more. The view cannot be beat. We enjoyed our time and look forward to a return next year!
My family (parents, wife and two young children) and I had an amazing week at Popham at the Day’s property! The house was beautiful and the setting was unparalleled. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a Maine beach getaway to consider staying here … we will be back for sure!
Our family gathered to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation and our first vacation in years. The rental was a fabulous escape. We loved watching the seals in the river and walking the beach.
Very comfortable home with all anyone could need to have a wonderful stay in Maine. So nice to have essentials provided. Jonathan was very easy to contact and answered our questions and even emailed information ahead of our trip to help us find great spots to photograph and enjoy. Comfortable beds and the room with gas fireplace was a regular hang out while we were there. Shaw’s grocery store approx. half hour away has lobsters and will steam, fresh caught haddock also. We highly suggest staying here if it is available. We would love to return.
We enjoyed our stay so much. The house was very comfortable, clean and charming. The location was ideal and the ocean view from the wraparound front porch and balcony was beautiful. The owner was great to work with. We would definitely stay again!
For a truly memorable Popham Beach experience do not hesitate to book this property. In my opinion the best beachfront privacy on Popham hosted and managed by good people who are sharing a family treasure. No regrets just appreciation.
We just returned from an incredible week at The Day Cottage. The house and location were spectacular and perfectly suited our family ranging in age from 20 to 97! We couldn't have asked for better communication and support from the owner who arranged to create a first floor bedroom for my father which had its own bathroom. Our grown kids and occasional friend guest tucked perfectly into the suite of bedrooms in the original part of the cottage. My husband and I had the glorious, modern master suite with attached deck. We felt like we were sleeping practically on the beach with the breezes blowing through and the ever present sound of the waves. The beach itself is a short distance from the house allowing us to go easily back and forth. We were lucky enough to see hundreds of seals day in and day out right in front of the cottage and up river as well. It is hard to put into words how special the property is but if you have the chance to spend a week there, I would highly recommend it!
Beautiful property, lots of space for everyone. Everything you could need is provided. The porch is amazing — no better place for your morning coffee, evening cocktail,or anything in between, but Popham beach is the star. I hope we can return.
Jonathan’s place was just as described In the listing. The kitchen had everything we needed and the place was roomy and comfortable for two families of four to share. We loved the location and would definitely recommend the house to others.
A beautiful home in a beautiful location. The owners are wonderful and made the process of renting the house super easy. The home is so cozy and has everything one needs for a perfect and relaxing vacation. Loved it !

Lovely home and Location
Had a wonderful time. Thank you Jon and Linda! Loved the location, and LOVED the renovated part of the home. I know how much work you must have done, and it is really nice. We stayed mostly in that part of the house. :-)

Best vacation in a long time!
The friendly and gracious owners did a great job of coordinating the new modern addition with the original traditional Maine cottage. Very comfortable and all necessities were provided for. Fantastic views of the beach from the beautiful wrap around Victorian porch, as well as the upstairs bedroom windows and deck. We spent day time hours enjoying the beach, including fishing for mackerel, playing in the waves, and making sandcastles; visiting with family on the porch; and exploring nearby Forts Popham and Baldwin. After sundown we'd wind down in front of the cozy living room fireplace making puzzles or reading. It's always so nice to breathe the clean salty air and hear the sound of the waves. The whole family appreciated the most relaxing, rejuvenating vacation we've had in a long time and highly recommend it.
