Popham Beach Direct Oceanfront Cottage Steps to the sand

Take your breath away views! Starfish cottage is directly on the oceanfront, one of 15 cottages located at Driftwood on Popham. Formerly one of the beloved cottages that were known as Oceanview Campgroud and Cottages. Fall asleep to the sound of crashing surf, have your coffee on the deck overlooking the sea and cook a seafood feast in our well appointed kitchen. We even have a dishwasher! This cottage has a new kitchen with granite counter tops, new bath and all new furniture and household items. Walk seven miles of beach and to nearby Fox island at low tide. Close to Fort Popham and Bath Ironworks.

Pet Friendly Maine
The location is Maine oceanfront at it's finest. The stretch of private beach is dog friendly and well-maintained between the historical fort and the State park. It's breathtaking with a lighthouse and small islands in view. The accommodations offered everything we needed and more. The owner was exceptional in her level of communication and customer service. We hope to be return guests. Thank you Deb!

Location was perfect!!
Family of four: 6/4 yr old kids, we had a BLAST! Location was perfect for watching seals bobbing in the waves with coffee and seeing the three light houses turn on at dusk. We love not having to drive while away, so we beach-walked everywhere (except to get lobster a few coves over). Cabin was very clean, fully ready for an off-season stay (heating worked great). Kitchen had all tools needed for full meal prep (there was little to no take out available off season) and laundry-washer and dryer. Water was always hot. Parking easy. For our family, it was a relaxing and joyful ocean-centered escape from the daily grind! Hosts were very quick with communications and responsive to our needs during the stay.

Wonderful stay
We had a great stay. Check in and communication was easy. Due to storm damage, our original booked cottage was not available and Deb offered us a different (much larger) home without added cost. We greatly appreciated it so we didn't have to cancel our vacation. The home was very clean and had everything we needed and then some. The area is beautiful and the beach was very clean. You cannot beat the views from the home. We look forward to staying here again!

Magical Getaway
We absolutely loved staying here! It is truly a paradise setting! The sound of the waves were beyond relaxing! We loved walking to the island at low tide and visiting Boothbay Harbor one day. Owners are great. Thanks for sharing your cottage!

Great location on the beach
We absolutely loved to walk on the beach which extended for miles in either direction. We came to enjoy watching the seals by Fort Popham, and would visit them everyday -- to the extent that we went at 7 am on the day we left! The cottage was small, but fine for the two of us. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We were there before Memorial Day, so there weren't many restaurants open -- but we planned ahead, and stocked up in Bath, so we didn't need anything. It was early in the season, so pretty much all that was available in foodstuffs was salt and pepper, but that was fine. We would like to return at some later date!

Incredible stay!
Beautiful little cottage right on the water! Great location for the price. The lighting is incredible. If you wake up earlier enough, you’ll get to see the sun rise right over the water. The beach was easily accessible and very private. It was the perfect size for our group of 4–cozy but still spacious. The only issue was that there was a small ant problem (not very noticeable except for near the door), but definitely did not detract from our stay!

Ocean shore 24/7.
Direct view of the ocean from every window. The cottage was comfortable and well appointed. Missing only a hassock and a potato masher (which we improvised). Stunning scenery all day and beautiful moonlight and splashes of starry Maine skies at night. A perfect getaway; we're def. coming back.

Beach cottage style living with a fantastic view. The ocean delivers hourly / daily entertainment.
The property was clean and had all the kitchen & bath essentials,TV and WiFi and great views, comfortable seating & dining areas inside and out. Loved the location. Most of the local restaurants hadn't opened yet, but I planned on cooking most of our meals and we picked up groceries at the local stores as needed. The only laundry is 30 minute drive but it was large and clean. I would definitely stay in this location again! Loved it!!!!

What a perfect beach cottage!
Its so hard for me to find a beachside cottage thats dog friendly…. Until now! This was the perfect rental for us. Super cute, plenty of room and safe for my 3 yr old, right on the water, dog friendly and just all around lovely. We had an amazing time. I felt sad to leave! The beach is just gorgeous and seeing all the seals was wonderful. We came before memorial day so not much open but we didn’t mind bringing a bunch of groceries and cooking. It was all we needed. Thank you Deborah!!! Id love to rent again in the future.

Endroit superbe et très propre mais quelques petits problèmes.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre sejour et l’endroit était vraiment à la hauteur de nos attentes. Toutefois nous n’avions pas d’eau courante à notre arrivée et le problème ne fut résolu que le lendemain matin. De plus les brûleurs du bbq ne fonctionnaient pas bien ainsi que le foyer exterieur. Nous etions tôt dans la saison et peut-etre que quelques verifications auraient dû etre faites avant notre arrivée. Ces quelques petits désagréments ne nous empêcheraient pas d’y retourner par contre !

Delightful As Expected
This was our second visit to one of Jim and Deb’s rentals right on the ocean! They continue to be excellent hosts as evidenced by an unintentional cleaning service mixup upon our arrival. The owners jumped on the problem as soon as we notified them and quickly resolved the situation to our satisfaction. Jim and Deb really do give their guests every consideration to make their guests stay as pleasing and comfortable as possible. We will continue to rent from these owners as often as we can. We looked forward to returning to this cozy cottage with the ocean almost at our doorstep at the end of the day.

I stayed at the property with my family and it was simply lovely. It was a comfortable, charming place and the owner was very responsive. Best of all, that view! Listening to the waves and exploring the beach at low tide was a delight. We hope to return in the not too distant future.
