About this house rental
Bordering the quaint fishing village of Wallace Circle, this one- of-a-kind repurposed Schoolhouse and former boat shop is loaded with charm and history. Originally built as a two-room schoolhouse in the early 1920s, it later became the “Boat Shop” for Alton Wallace, best known as the designer and builder of the popular hull named the “Westpointer”.
The Home has been artistically renovated, capturing the essence of the original Schoolhouse while incorporating maritime elements in appreciation of Alton Wallace.
Just minutes from Sebasco Harbor Resort, Totman Cove and Popham Beach, and walking distance to fresh lobsters right off the boats! Enjoy the beauty of Maine along with its rich history and charm.
This artistic home has three bedrooms, sleeping up to 6 persons. It has a large open kitchen with high ceilings boasting exposed post and beam joinery. Truly a one-of-a-kind seasonal home.
The house includes toys and books for kids and we have a basketball hoop on the property as well.
No pets allowed, as family members have severe allergies.

The property was clean and well stocked with everything you need. We were greeted with fresh flowers and homemade baked goods. The property owner was very responsive to communications and provide a folder with everything you need concerning the house and local attractions. It was a very pleasant stay.

We loved staying here, the hosts thought of everything and made our stay incredibly easy! It was gorgeous, well-kept, and looked even better in person! Although we adored our stay, I do wish I had known that you can't use the bathtub and are encouraged to conserve as much water as possible. With small children, this was tricky (plus I really wanted a bath). This is due to the water system, which is totally understandable with a building as old and preserved as it is, but I wish I known in the listing before I arrived.

Wonderful space to spend time in. We were a bit disappointed at the house's placement as there is no easy way to get to the ocean. However, Popham Beach is worth the 6 mile drive and Emily provided a free beach pass. Also of note is that there is only one bedroom with a door, the other spaces are truly lofts. This worked fine for us. The house is comfortable and spacious and Emily was attentive and helpful.

Our daughter found this place and invited us to come stay with her husband and 2 young children. The home could not have been more inviting. We enjoyed the attention to every little detail in their choice of decor, so inspiring! The host was very accessible when we reached out with questions. I imagine we will want to return again some day and highly recommend this beautiful home so close to our favorite family beach.

We had another great stay at the schoolhouse. The privacy yet short drive to Popham and hiking trails is one of our favorite things about the house. There is plenty of space for older kids to find their own area and for the younger kids to play epic games of hide and seek! The amenities and convenient touches are thoughtful and appreciated. Thanks again!

The schoolhouse is open and airy with two huge common spaces and wonderfully decorated down to every detail. Our young adult sons had plenty of space to hang out, which can otherwise be challenging! Location is great - close to Popham Beach, Bath, not far from Brunswick. Definitely recommend this place very highly!

Great home & area to celebrate a couple of family birthdays. Cozy & comfortable and very spacious. There was everything and some bonus amenities to make our stay awesome. The game room was fun along with the various books to read. Patio fire pit was great on the cool nights. Family looks forward to returning during a different time of year to explore the area better. Emily - Thank you having us & for having an amazing property.

This is a beautiful place with a fabulous kitchen and great light through large windows. Before our reservation was confirmed, the owner wanted to make sure that we understood that the house is primarily for summer use and was not equipped with central heat or heat pump. But she said that there was a wood stove. This was true. There were two wood stoves, but only one was operational. That wood stove was incapable of heating this house with twenty foot ceilings, big drafty windows and no insulation. Our weather was good, 60s in the day and 40s overnight with light wind. Despite this, the house was cold throughout our stay even after lighting the wood stove. We are from Oregon and are accustomed to cold temps. Frankly, the rent was too high for this shoulder season. The owners should discount the rent significantly for this season if they intend to continue to rent it in the fall.

The house is very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit. Kitchen is great. Heaters helped a great deal.

My family and I really enjoyed our time in this unique, well appointed rental. It's a great location for unwinding and taking in the coast of Maine. Not only was Emily a great hostess, she provides a pass to Popham Beach, which was really convenient. Fresh oysters and lobsters are just a mile down the road. I'd recommend this property to anyone.

Great hosts
My family and I had a great time at West Point. Emily was an amazing host. I had some complications/changes with our reservation and Emily went out of her way to help me. Our boys (9 and 11) had so much fun they did not want to leave. They loved all of the activities available inside the home - toys, books, foosball, basketball and crafts. Thank you Emily!!

Lovely well equipped, historic home in beautiful Maine!
We were all very happy with our stay at this property. We had ample space for up to six people - only three of us ended up spending the night but three others spent time with us during the day off and on throughout our five night stay. Kitchen and bath and bedrooms were well supplied to meet all of our needs. We only had two issues to report and Emily was quick to reply and provided satisfactory resolutions. Thanks for making our stay so comfortable. We will happily recommend this site to others!

Lovely family vacation
This home is so great! Our families had a fantastic stay. Emily was both communicative and a great host- with fresh flowers and a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us at arrival.

Amazing house
The house is amazing, with two big living rooms and a small but workable kitchen space in one of them. It clearly has a long history, and not just as a school--I doubt that the barn doors were used by students! The hosts are friendly and responsive. The one caution I would add is that the two-bed room is only accessible via a ladder in the full-bed room, and there is no door between the two. So the people who use those two rooms should know each other well! The king-bed room is in the attic. It's a hot space but is made comfortable with the help of an efficient room air conditioner. That room also has a trundle bed in it. The beds are all very comfortable.

Schoolhouse Stay
We had a wonderful time staying at the Schoolhouse for a second year! We rented last year for a week and decided to try two weeks this summer. Emily and Joseph are the new owners of the property. They have kept the same airy and casual feel of the place that we fell in love with, but they have also added a number of amenities, including a new patio w/fire pit, a washer/dryer, and some ridiculously comfortable furniture and bedding.
We will definitely stay again!

Perfect fall week!
We had a wonderful week enjoying the fall colors and the beautiful scenery in Maine. The house was comfy and in a good location. We had a great stay!

Great break and place
My family (and dog) stayed here for the month of September. It was a perfect fit. The large house has a nice vibe, the kids loved the rooms and the location, and the history of the house and the village added a nice element. There are a lot of great places to hike and see the beach nearby, though you do need to walk along an often quiet road with no shoulder to get to West Point.

The PERFECT place to stay!
This home and the hosts are absolutely wonderful. Everything about our month-long stay was just perfect--from the kindness of Patty and Justin, their INCREDIBLE recommendations, and the comfort of the schoolhouse. It truly could not have been better and we are so grateful that we were able to have such a wonderful trip because of them and their gorgeous home. We would rent this house again in a heartbeat. Patty and Justin, thank you so much for everything!

Week at Newbury Pt.
Our family has fallen in love with this unique house. Plenty of space for our teen & tweener to enjoy, yet an open, light and airy layout. Extremely clean and well-appointed. Close to so many of our favorite places in Phippsburg and Bath. We will definitely come again next summer. Thank you so much, Patty and Justin!

Lovely Family Vacation
We stayed with young children (9 & 4) in this unique schoolhouse. It is situated close to Popham Beach and Hermit Island, along with delicious lobster and quiet coves. We absolutely loved our stay here. House is filled with interesting and fun things. It doesn't have a backyard (but on a deadend street so plenty of other places to run around in). We loved exploring this part of Maine from here, and we'll be back!

Such a beautiful home!
Such a beautiful and unique listing. Stayed there with friends and wished we had more time just to relax at the house! We did make it down to the beach though, and had just a really lovely time. Would definitely stay again.

Tranquility on the coast of Maine
The house is immaculate and beautiful. Patty is a welcoming host and is quick to answer any questions. My family spent several relaxing days visiting our favorite local spots (Popham beach, 5 Islands Lobster, Bath, Frosty's donuts, Wiscasset, etc.), all of which are all close by.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location with beaches a small drive away.
This house was amazing although still work in progress in places. The location was remote and quiet but we did need to drive to access any amenities. We had a really restful 2 day stay and wished we had booked it for longer.

Beautiful setting with excellent hospitality
The schoolhouse is both beautiful and spacious and its proximity to the sea and hiking trails make it ideal for vacationing. Patty was a welcoming host who provided very helpful information about the area and was highly communicative. We could not have been more pleased with our experience!
