Beauty on the water

Great stay at a great location! Bald eagles, osprey, seals and lobster boats, can it get any better? Turns out it can. Took a scenic cruise out of the maritime museum just down the street, we saw a rare humpback whale in one of the inlets. Captain said she’s been doing the cruise for 8 years and this was her first!

Lovely home on the coast

Terrific, comfortable home on the water with a private dock and great outdoor space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as long-time visitors to the area. Our host couldn't have been more welcoming or responsive and we are hoping to return again.

Best views in Central Maine

This was our second stay at the property and we loved every second of it. Amazing views, cozy, clean, well stocked house, lovely neighborhood and neighbors. Located close to Bath and Brunswick which are both great towns that don’t get as much tourist traffic as some other places in Maine.

Comfortable house in a beautiful spot

We've stayed in this home a number of times over the years and the owner is very helpful. It has everything we need and has always been perfect for our summer family get-togethers. The view from the house and dock is beautiful, and there's always a nice breeze coming up the bay from the ocean. The location, about 8 miles south of Bath, is convenient for most things in the area. The airport in Portland is about an hour's drive, and it's just 15 miles to beautiful Popham Beach or to Brunswick.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle King

Our house is in West Bath towards the northern end of Casco Bay. We are nestled in the waterside community called Birch Point. Most of the homes on Birch Point are year-round owner-occupied residences. Many of the homes were originally summer homes for residents of the nearby city of Bath and have remained in the same family for generations. Our home was originally built as a summer cottage in the mid-nineteenth century. It was substantially rebuilt and converted for year-round use in 1975. Purchased by our family in 1985, our home was limited to family use for many years. Although our family has been geographically spread out over the years, from nearby New Hampshire and Massachusetts to as far away as California and Texas, we, as well as our grown children, vacation each summer at this home as we continue to have deep attachment to it. We are delighted to watch our young grandchildren enjoy this spot as much as their parents did. It was after our own children were grown that we began to offer weekly rentals through VRBO during the summer and fall months.

Why they chose this property

In all these years we have never tired of the view. When looking out to the water, Phippsburg is to the left and Harpswell to the right. Just offshore, is a small tidal island called Jenny’s Nubble. Out in the bay, sailboats are often seen coming in and out of The Basin, which is to the left and is a popular shelter on the coast of Maine. Most days one wakes to the gentle hum of the lobster boats as they set and pull their traps.

While you are here you can enjoy swimming (if you don’t mind the cold water of the north Atlantic), leisurely walks, or watching the boats and sunsets along the waters’ edge. Kayak and boat rentals are available locally and our private dock provides access at all tides. The Bath area offers a variety of attractions (for guests who can tear themselves away from the water!) ranging from golf to shopping to the Maine Maritime Museum (where one can explore the area’s rich and ongoing shipbuilding heritage) to Popham Beach and Fort Popham at the mouth of the Kennebec River.

Enjoy!
