This location is excellent. It was so nice to be able to walk to the beach without needing to pack a car to get there. There are lots of stairs, some steep, but our 2, 6, and 7 year olds had no issuue. We had a great time and would come again. Popham is a beautiful place.

We had a wonderful week at the Rockledge cottage. Most of the rooms have amazing views of the ocean, and it’s a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen has been recently renovated and has everything needed. The tennis court was a nice bonus. We would love to return next summer!

The property was located in a quiet, very private location near the ocean. Immaculate inside and out. Listening to the waves was so relaxing. We would highly property to other potential vacationers.

Lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean, lured to the waters as the sun rose and glistened over the water. Charming and cozy cottage nestled on the hill surrounded by greenery. Excellent communication with owners who quickly answered questions prior to and during stay. Beds were comfortable and lots of nooks and crannies for reading and playing board games. Amazing deck and views. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The incredible location and unique ecology--dunes and pitch pines!--make this a very special spot. There were many times we were alone on the vast expanse of sand. Bonus: "Rockledge" is the perfect stroll by dirt road or beach to the recently updated Spinney's restaurant & store (with ice cream counter), close to Fort Popham. It's fun to watch the seals play in the rapid outflow of the Kennebec River while sitting on the Spinney's patio or walking to Fort Popham with ice cream in hand. We also saw striper jumping more than once! There are some things to understand about beach rules/customs and also how the house is situated--it has a great view, but if you're outside you're on the lovely deck or you're taking the dune path to the beach. There's not much of an in-between, but the rocky ledge is what gives you the great vantage on the ocean and islands. The house itself is cool and quirky. It can be surprisingly hard to find places that haven't been stripped of their soul in pursuit of some trend, so we appreciated the history and character here. We'd prefer a more modern mattress and a dryer would be a great addition for wet/foggy days. The kitchen is a bit small if you have more than one cook, but if you have to make those kind of tradeoffs for a memorable spot, we are happy to do that for a week. It was all a feast for the senses and imagination.

Popham beach is our happy place. We loved being so close to the ocean. We enjoyed the cottage and would love to return someday. It did take us a bit to adjust. The deck is very nice and even though the cottage is rustic, the kitchen and bathroom seemed to both have been recently updated. We spent many hours sitting on the beach and walking. Side note: There are ticks leading in the grass to the water.... please be cautious of this. I think we were there during their peak peskiness. With that said, I have and would recommend this spot to anyone that loves Maine and the ocean.

Our family vacations every summer in Popham and have done so for more than 15 years. We’ve tried a variety of rental properties over the years and have now found a new favorite. The location, setting, and uniqueness, coupled with the sights, sounds, and sand of Popham all add up to an unbeatable experience. The cottage is located at the end of a dirt road and nestled just behind the dunes, giving it a really nice exclusive feeling. Though the structure itself is not new, it has clearly been maintained very well, is clean, and has the charm and character we appreciate in a classic Maine beachside cottage. Access might be a challenge for some, as there are a few flights of stairs to climb for entry. A few other noteworthy things: * Nearly every room has an ocean view! * The owners keep the gardens on the property popping with flowers. * There’s a water hose at the top deck you can use to spray the sand off your feet before going into the cottage - very nice! * The kids loved the bunk room, reading nook, and day beds. * Plenty of beach chairs and water toys available; bring your tennis gear! * Can’t beat coffee and breakfast on the deck every morning with those views! We’re looking forward to another chance to stay here in the future!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Rockledge very much. We were able to enjoy all that the cottage had to offer, including the wonderful deck we spent our evenings on. The cottage is rustic but had everything you would need to enjoy your stay. We had plenty of towels, pots, pans and essentials. It's location to the beach can't be beat, we spent everyday making memories in the sand and surf. We would highly recommend to any family looking to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and serenity of the ocean waves.

We've rented this cottage many times. It is a great cottage. It is located on the best part of Popham beach, with unobstructed views (and sounds) of the ocean from almost every window. It is equipped with everything you would really need, and it is very comfortable and private. The perfect spot for a family beach vacation.

Perfect getaway from it all on the unspoiled sands of Popham beach. We've stayed at the Rockledge Cottage many years each summer and feel so fortunate each time we are able to make it back for another visit.

Staying at the Rockledge house on Popham Beach was a wonderful experience. He house itself is magical, and the beach is in the front yard. It doesn’t get any better.

We absolutely loved the location!, I learned to Striper fish and you can't beat the low tide experiences with the kids. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of Old Orchard this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a peaceful experience with your family and the ocean then this is the place!

We rented the property for a nice getaway for 4 nights. The views are like masterful paintings, all day, every day. The beach had very few people and was enormous at low tide, ideal for long walks (we couldn’t stop and did 7 miles one day). At night the beach gets very dark and is ideal for stargazing! The house is right on the beach and a wonderful, happy looking base for beach activities. It is creatively constructed with bunk beds and a fantastic bed nook with a sky-facing window for any kids to enjoy. The kitchen is functional, cute, and big enough for 4 to eat meals. The bedrooms are comfy and just about every room has a breathtaking view. In our hiking, we explored Fort Popham, nearby old artillery batteries, and the site of an early (1607) English colonial settlement. Staying here and enjoying its surroundings was a stress-relieving and wonderful experience.

We had such an amazing time at Rockledge, just steps from our favorite beach in Maine. We walked to Fort Popham and Fort Baldwin and to Wood Island at low tide. My kids loved all the great reading nooks. It rained quite a bit, but that was ok, since we had such a great view, so we stayed in and read and played games. The kitchen has all the pots and pans you might need, the beds are comfortable, and the view can't be beat.

Rockledge Cottage offers an unparalleled Popham Beach experience. This rustic, unique camp sits high on a rock outcrop that looms over pristine grassed dunes, a quiet beach and the mighty Atlantic. Offering quintessential mid-coast views, local history and lots of surprises... for those willing to climb the Rockledge temple stairs and look a little deeper, you will find just what you need in a trip to Popham...
