About this property

Near Popham Beach! On Atkins Bay, Private. Best Of Both Worlds, Beach And Woods

1840 sq ft house on 1 1/2 wooded acres and 150 feet of waterfront property.
Enjoy the sunrises over Atkins Bay in the back yard and sunsets over Spirit Pond across the street.
Just one mile to Popham Beach with 4 miles of sand! Collect shells and/or walk to Fox Island at low-tide.
You can also relax on the deck and enjoy being in the woods.
Lots of animal life. Bald Eagles and and Osprey hunt and live in the State lands across the bay. You don't know how large the eagles are until they land in the trees in the back yard. We also have visits from deer, fox, and a lone turkey.
Another sight is watching a pack of seals drive fish into the bay.

House is relaxing. While the main Living/Dining room has television, the other living room can be closed off with sliding doors for some quiet reading time with a Futon, couch, and chair.

The first floor is the kitchen, dining room with large table, living room, second living room, bath with shower, and a bedroom. The second floor has a large master bedroom, a kid's bedroom with a twin-over-full-sized bunk-bed, and a full bath with tub/shower.
4 Kayaks are included in the rental. You launch in the pond across the street or down the hill in the backyard and into the bay.

Parking in front of house will accommodate three cars. A second driveway provides room for a couple more.

House water is drinkable. A large reverse-osmosis system provides water for the whole house (dishes, showers, etc.). If you've been to Popham before, you know what a rarity this is!

A large, comfortable deck with patio table and chairs, plus four Adirondack chairs. A propane grill for cooking is also on the deck.

A small, rock fire ring is in the back yard. Perfect for sitting around on summer nights.

The house was very comfortable and accommodating. It’s a beautiful piece of property right on Atkinson bay. We enjoyed paddle boarding at high tide right from the property. Morning coffee in the chairs down by the bay was wonderful! Easy access to Popham Beach State Park.

House is in a great location to Popham, especially now that they close the lot during high tide due to minimal beach space. I had no idea how much erosion has happened to the beach since we were last there in 2023. It fit our family of four and my MIL perfectly, would also be good for two small families. Mosquitoes around the house made it nearly impossible to hang out outside there. Loved doing the Morse mtn to Sewell beach trail too.

Minutes to Popham State Park

I rented this property for my adult kids and grands. The property was a perfect fit for them. One family had the upstairs and the other was on the main level. All the comforts of home. Beautiful large dining table accommodated us all for family meals. Ken was responsive to all my questions and kept us informed when there was a brief power outage. The kids asked me to book it for next year. Done!

Another Awesome Maine Vacation

Kudos to the Zinssar family for offering such great accommodations at Popham Beach. We were comfortable and relaxed in this home. We are especially grateful for their hospitality in the wake of our sudden loss of a previous rental. We all believe that this home was much better than our original pick!

Second Visit

Another memorable week at Popham Beach with amazing weather; hours spent prospecting for sand dollars, surf casting for stripers (one keeper that gave the three of us two tasty dinners) and long walks between the fort and Fox Island. We have yet to use the kayaks- next trip! The house has all the amenities needed to have an adventurous week at the beach. We are looking forward to our return visit! Thank you Doreen and Ken-

The central hub

The home’s location is ideal. The beach is close. We toured BWI in Bath and the Maritime Museum. Excellent. Brunswick and Bowdoin College’s art museum was a most interesting collection. Booth Bay & a harbor boat outing was picturesque. We boarded Amtrak in Brunswick for a day trip to Boston. The home itself was a good fit as we enjoyed the large dining table & kitchen. Well done!

A great house in a perfect location

The owners have created a wonderful space to use as a base of operations while visiting magical Popham Beach. The common areas are spacious with large windows to keep everything bright. The dining room table is majestic! We gave the kitchen a thorough workout, and as two professional chefs, were very pleased with the performance of the equipment and how well appointed it is. The proximity to the beach can’t be overstated as a huge bonus. As well, the water quality and pressure are amazing for this part of the world. We have found our go-to house for our future visits.

Perfect Rental!

This is a highly desirable property and my family and I would love to return. The house has a well-appointed kitchen and many comfortable places for relaxing with a book, watching TV, or playing games. Though it's tucked among the trees, the many windows give it a light and breezy feel. There's a beautiful deck overlooking woods and bay (one of two nearby choices for kayaking). We saw a bald eagle circling overhead a couple times. Best of all, it's about a mile from Popham Beach, so we were able to spend hours swimming during the day and come back in the evenings for walks during low tide.

House on Lobsterman's Way on Atkins Bay in Phippsburg, Maine

We had a wonderful stay at Kenneth's house on Atkins Bay in Phippsburg. Maine. The house was roomy and spacious, with nicely separated bedrooms providing plenty of privacy. The kitchen was large and well stocked. There are basically two living rooms, both with nice views of Atkins Bay. The deck was recently re done with new planking and railings. The best part was the close proximity to Popham Beach. We've been coming the Popham Beach area to vacation for 20 years. It is one our favorite places in Maine. We would love to stay at Lobsterman's Way again in the future. Hopefully for two weeks next time! Walt and Peggy

Well equipped beach house in a good location to social distance!

Ken's house comes as advertised and the pictures are all very accurate. The house comes well equipped and is very comfortable with a nice view of the bay. Ken offered the use of kayaks, fishing poles, beach chairs etc which were great! Ken is a very responsive owner who answered our questions before our arrival and addressed any issues while at the property. The beach is a close drive and never gets too crowded while the area is very secluded for social distancing purposes. The only cons are that the decor is a bit outdated and the ignition on the grill was not working plus the mosquitos leave it uncomfortable to stay outside for long. Overall we were pleased with our stay and appreciate Ken's efforts to make everything comfortable.

House on Lobsterman's Way on Atkins Bay in Phippsburg, Maine

We had another great experience at 5 Lobsterman's Way in Phippsburg last week. This is our second year in a row renting this property. The house is clean, roomy, and in excellent condition. Lots of room to spread out - two upstairs bedrooms with a full bath, and a downstairs bedroom as well, also with a full bath. Plenty of room for our family, but also privacy when needed. The mattresses are newer (hybrid foam and inner spring probably) and very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed, with two good sized Lobster pots - a must for a Maine vacation. The best part however is the close proximity to Popham Beach, which is less then 5 minutes away by car. The house also included a season State Park pass pass, so we paid no fees to use the beach. We had a great time and will definitely return. Walt and Peggy Murphy

Amazing!

A wonderful stay in a beautiful house! We were so thankful to have this time with our friends! The house was perfect for our needs! The kitchen was well equipped, two full bathrooms, along with laundry facilities, were all needed and used. The proximity to Popham was perfect! Each morning we drove a couple miles to the Fort and walked along the beach for our daily exercise. Mosquitos are an issue EVERYWHERE there’s shade in Maine...so be prepared. The dining table was perfect for games and meals for the six of us...but it could easily hold twelve people!
