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.

Never a bad day at the beach no matter what time of year and this cottage is proof of that! Wonderful stay at the Day cottage. Will definitely 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!

Great location with plenty of indoor and outdoor living space

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.

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.

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!

Popham Beach is a magical place and to stay at this house is just icing on the cake. It's all as advertised, beautiful.

Very impressive property. Great location to ocean.

Great house. Great porch. Beautiful.

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 !

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. :-)

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.

We had a great time staying in this home for a week. The views were stunning and the house was a treat. There was plenty of room for the kids and adults and the accomodations were very comfortable. We loved the new addition, but we also enjoyed the older part of the house. It was really neat to have the sense of the original cottage and its history and yet have the comfort and space with the newer addition. Walking to the beach was a breeze and the beach itself was a rare treat. Not crowded at all and it was an easy walk to the state park as well as the old fort and Spinney's restaurant and Percy's general store. We only drove our car once during the whole week and that was to drive to Bath and check it out. The rocking chairs on the wide back porch were a great place to eat breakfast and there were beach chairs and some buckets and shovels for the kids to use at the beach. The upstairs balcony was a wonderful place to warm yourself in the sun and watch the world go by. We saw fish flying out of the water and seals peeking out of the water. Overall this place was fabulous! Linda and Jon were so helpful and pleasant to work with. They called the first day to make sure eveything was ok, we greatly appreciated that. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and have a real vacation.

This home is gorgeous, with stunning views. The newer addition is divine. The "old" part is really cool as it's the original home and has all the charm and character of an original Maine beach cottage. The owners were wonderful and pleasant. Not much to do in the area when it's not summer (we went in fall), but we enjoyed wonderful long walks on the beach and the surrounding area and a few trips to Freeport and L.L. Bean. Relaxing vacation!

We've been to Popham many times, but this was one of the nicest (hard to top our honeymoon, 25 years ago...). The location is great, not that there are really any bad places on Popham, but being a little further away from the beach was nice in that it was a bit quieter than even quiet Popham. The house was very nicely done and equipped, although we never did find a butter dish (it was easy enough to use a small plate - just seemed a bit odd) and there wasn't much for grill utensils. The wide porch got lots of use and we spent most of our indoor time in the "addition" where the eat-in kitchen and little sitting area is, or in the living room by the gas fireplace. We will definitely consider coming back here.

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.

A great cottage filled with charm & character. It was the porch that first caught our attention. Rocking chairs facing the ocean sounded perfect. And this was a great spot for reading, card games and beverages. The cottage is set back from the beach, so there is privacy, yet is a quick walk to the beach. The dining room was perfect for lobster dinners and the bedrooms catch the ocean breezes. We were there at the beginning of June and did use the wood stove which made it toasty on the foggy evenings. We recommend Percy’s, just down the beach, for lobsters. This is a beautiful spot.
