About this property

Escape to Maine! Enjoy the beauty and solitude!

A true escape! Our property offers rare unobstructed water views and waters edge location. This custom home and adjoining quintessential Maine cottage offer high-end amenities and comforts, including private swimming beach, central air conditioning, gas fireplace, Sub Zero and Viking appliances in the kitchen, reliable Wifi, 60" Smart TV with satellite DirecTV, jacuzzi bathtub with a water view, and treadmill. Guests enjoy unobstructed views from all house and cottage rooms and beautiful waters edge outdoor space. Importantly, we offer a unique, private tidal swimming/boating beach on a placid inland bay - power boats are few and far between.

Spring, summer and fall visitors have access to two separate buildings separated by 50 yards of gently sloping lawn. The cottage (sleeping as many as 5) is especially popular with couples with small children - you will have total privacy, your own bathroom, kitchen, and deck, and you can join the group at the big house whenever you like!

Toast smores on the fire pit at sunset, or explore the walking trails through the preserve. Play and dig on the beach, enjoy the island view from the comfortable patio, fish the bay for the many fish, such as striped bass and Atlantic salmon. Paddle out to Brick Island, where bald eagles nest. The bay's private tidal beach & minimal surf make for ideal swimming and paddleboarding. There are no drop offs or rough waves to worry about and our westward facing tidal bay makes for some of the warmest swimming water in all of Maine. It is perfect for swimming and digging with buckets, collecting sea glass and using other water toys. L.L. Bean kayaks, stand-up paddle board, canoes and lounging rafts are located directly on the beach for easy use. The property is home to bald eagles and other important and protected birds and flora, as the property abuts conservation land. The house is in very good proximity (less than 15 minutes) to a variety of shopping, fine and other dining in Brunswick and Bath, as well as the gateway to all midcoast tourist attractions.

Bath is part of midcoast Maine & the Boothbay Harbor region. Tour nearby historic Bath, voted of the best small cities in America, shop, dine and hop on the trolley . Visit Boothbay Harbor, Five Islands, nearby Freeport Outlets and L.L. Bean, Cundy's Harbor, Wiscasset, Georgetown, Popham Beach, Camden, Portland & more! Great room TV/Master TV, Internet, gas fireplace. Dining recommendations and touring information provided.

Beautiful Sunsets
Had a wonderful family vacation and family reunion at Sandpiper Lane! Home is great and cottage worked well for our daughter and her husband. House was fully stocked. No need to bring TP, laundry detergent, paper towels and there were a variety of spices. Extra refrigerator in garage was great. Used folding table in garage for our 1000 piece puzzle! Kayaking was fun. Last house on dead end street-quiet! Plenty of parking. Enjoyed walking trails. Thank you Sara and Chris for sharing your lovely home.

Great location! Kayaked with a seal!
The location of this house is fantastic. The kids enjoyed hiking whistler trail right by the house. Close drive to Thorny Trail’s too. Bath is really cute and had great food options. We brought Plant’s Seafood (halibut and scallops) home and cooked lots in the chef’s quality kitchen. The view from all rooms is stunning. Highlight for us was kayaking during low tide out to the island. We had a harbor seal surprise us on our ride home. House had plenty of room for our large extended family trip, and the high chair and doll house was a plus! We appreciated the owners proactive communication and found them very responsive with check-in needs.

Wonderfully Relaxing
We were a group of 8 adults ages 31 and up, immediate family plus one significant other. The house is extremely well furnished in every respect, and has great water views, including from the decks of both the main house and the cottage, which also have very comfortable seating. We got a lot of use from the private beach, both wading/swimming and nearly daily use of the kayaks and paddleboard. Bath proper itself is, for my tastes, the perfect Maine town, plenty of interesting stores within easy walking distance of each other but not crowded. We got pizza from the Portland Pies in nearby Brunswick, and lobster rolls plus clam chowder from Taste of Maine, both within easy driving distance. Highly recommended.

Spectacular Views
Every room in this house offers beautiful water views. Enjoy dinner in the dining room or patio while watching gorgeous sunsets. Bedrooms on separate levels, as well as a separate cabin, allow for privacy. House is very clean and well-equipped, and the owners are friendly and responsive. Be aware that the steps to the beach are very steep, and the beach is rocky, not sandy. The swimming and boating are great, though. We saw seals and a bald eagle!

couldn't have been better!
We had the best time during our stay, seeing bald eagles and woodpeckers, swimming and paddling on the water, walking the nearby trails, taking easy drives to nearby sites. The reality is even better than the photos. So peaceful and relaxing. The house is well-stocked for a group, both in the kitchen and with the water and other game/play equipment. The hosts were flexible and very responsive, but everything was so well-explained and in great condition that we didn't need to do much other than enjoy! We all hope to be back!

Family vacation with 8 adults and plenty of room for everyone. Everyone was really pleased with the main home and we were closer to Bath than I thought we were going to be. Plenty of trails in the surrounding area and a good home base for exploring this area of Maine.

Christmas stay
This is a lovely property We gathered there for a family Christmas. The three levels of the house gave us ample space to spread out when we wanted to and the large living room area was great when we wanted to be together. We rented just the main house. Very clean, well stocked and tucked away for privacy but still only minutes to grocery store and beaches. The pool/pingpong table was a big hit with my neice and nephew. We even got Gramma to shoot a few balls. We will definitely consider this place again for our family get togethers.

The perfect spot for gathering, Sunsets and Bald Eagle
We spent thanksgiving here w family and the house and our experience was amazing! From Bath Turkey Trot, to walks in the Preserve, to nightly gorgeous sunsets to 4 Bald Eagles flying back and forth every day. And the kitchen and beds were perfect. Love this house and spot in Maine. Will be back for summer and fall experiences. No need to leave the property! Thank you Chris and Sara. Amazing week in beautiful Maine.

Perfect get away
We are a family large group of various ages ( one crawling infant) who stayed due to a family wedding in Georgetown! The space of the home was lovely and relaxing, everything we possibly needed was there for us. The infant life vest saved us as my son forgot the baby's at his home! The scenery, seeing the eagles, the quiet- I can't give this home enough praise!

Amazing Property
We enjoyed our stay in this home very much! It's beautiful inside and out. We loved kayaking in the river, sitting on the back deck, and when it got cooler in the evening, we enjoyed being inside with the huge windows and the gorgeous view of the sunset. The bedrooms were comfortable and the little cottage was perfect too. We highly recommend the house and will stay there again when we can!
