About this house rental

The Sand Dollar Cottage is a classic quaint Maine cottage in picturesque Maine fishing village that just finished a major remodel which came out beautiful! The first floor master bedroom has a queen size bed. There are two more bedrooms upstairs which walk out to a brand new deck with awesome views of the ocean.

There is a dining room and sitting area adjacent to the living room which has amazing views of the crashing ocean . The kitchen has everything you'd need. A full bathroom completes the first floor.

The location of the Sand Dollar Cottage in West Point makes an ideal “home base” for any vacation you choose. For those who “need to get away from it all” you can spend your entire vacation in West Point. Guests can lazily relax on our deck or perhaps take a short stroll to Cat Cove for swimming, shell collecting and tide pool exploring. Cat Cove is a great location to launch your kayaks for a day of exploring nearby harbors and islands. Be sure to keep a look out for eagles, loons, cormorants and seals! A Maine vacation must is fresh seafood for a lobster or clam bake. You can take a leisurely stroll down to the local lobster pound for the fresh catch of the day.

History: For those of you who enjoy more history and more activity, West Point and its surrounding areas provide just that. West Point is one of the oldest and scenic fishing villages in Maine. Many of the locals are descendants of the original fishermen who settled here. Close to West Point is historic Popham. Popham is one of the earliest English settlements during Colonial America being settled in 1607. Though it was unsuccessful it led to later settlement along the Maine coast. Popham State Beach is a beautiful 500 acre beach of white sand. It is definitely worth a visit. When the tide is out, you can walk across the beach to a nearby island. Fort Popham, from the Civil War years is close by and is ready to be explored.

The nearest city to West Point is Bath, “the City of Ships”. Maine’s first ships were built here in this area around 1607-1608. If you are interested in shipbuilding the Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into Maine’s boat building past.

Shopping and exploring: Quaint shops and restaurants make Bath a fun day trip. Boat rentals can be found in Bath for touring or fishing the Kennebec River. Golf courses are also in the area. To the north of Bath is Boothbay Harbor. It is another excellent day trip for vacationers! It has shops, restaurants and antiques. Whale watching, Puffin watching and lighthouse boating excursions are available at the wharf. Brunswick, another historic town nearby offers shopping, restaurants, Bowdoin College and the Joshua L. Chamberlain Museum. L.L.Bean’s flagship store is located south in Freeport. It is opened 24 hours a day and is a good place to go on rainy days. Freeport also has many name brand outlets. Portland is about an hour away and has many historic sites, shopping and great restaurants as well.

After many request we now offer sea kayak rentals on site for exploring the coast and harbors. Both singles and tandems.

Great home base for a family of 4 with a four and a two year old that like to be outside. Easy to get to popham, as well as a local beach, and some trails for kids. Safe 5 mile down and back running with the kids in the pushchair. Would definitely come back next summer. Bill graciously dropped off some needed TP. Of note, if bad weather not a ton to do with a 4 and a 2 year old. Sleepy neighborhood for the most part, but a neighbor did have a loud get together one night, but nothing too crazy. A few neighborhood kids seemed to use the yard/driveway as a cut through.

A quaint neighborhood with a wonderful view. The cottage was clean, well stocked for cooking, and perfect for families of different abilities as there is a first-floor bedroom and bathroom and second-floor bedrooms and bathroom. Two lovely back decks with the best views on the second floor. Peaceful. Private. We had to travel with our elderly tiny dog and it was perfect to have a location to accommodate dogs. We would consider staying again. To clarify, the listing states that there is a hot tub (which we understood to signify an outdoor hot tub), but that is not the case from what we could find. There is a bathtub on the first level for those who would find that important. We traveled with a 15 and 13 year old who loved the experience and Popham beach in the rain and fog! Yes, our entire stay was a little chilly and rainy, but the beach was still fun and Bath, ME a wonderful town to explore. Don't miss Renys...such a true Maine treat. Brunswick was a fun stop on the way up and home. Thank you for a great stay. Bill was a responsive host.

Very comfortable stay for our family of four. Great view of the ocean from the second floor deck. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Extremely clean, neat house. Modern kitchen. Very quiet neighborhood on the end of a peninsula. Very responsive caretaker. Had one small issue that was fixed within 45 minutes of me texting him. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful 5 day getaway to coastal Maine. The place was perfect for our needs, plenty of room, well stocked and well maintained. Best of all was the location right on West Point in Phippsburg, just a quick walk down to the waterfront with local lobstermen and an oyster shack/museum. We are definitely planning on coming back here next summer.

We stayed here for a family reunion in the area, and found it suited our needs just fine. West Point is a very small tightly packed hamlet but was very quiet, given the proximity of the houses to each other. The house is very comfortable and we liked the decks on the first and second floor.

This property is located in the sweetest little fishing village. You are a walk away from most of the essential “maine” experiences. Walk down and get fresh caught lobster, clams or fish from the local dock. Rent kayaks or take boat tours both located a walks distance from the property. Stop in to the museum to get a make your own lobster roll kit and talk to the local owner who was so nice. Sit at the cove and let your kids search for shells, sea glass, and crabs. A quick drive takes you to the local store Bensons that has everything you could need at cheaper prices than most of the surrounding grocery stores including homemade pastries and an entire make to order deli. A quick drive has you at popham beach, local restaurants, or Bath for sweet boutique shopping. The place itself was perfect for our family with plenty of room for everyone and everything you could need for cooking up any of your local dishes. It also has a washer and dryer which is always a huge plus with kids. We are already planning a trip back.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Sand Dollar Cottage. The home had everything we needed and the views of the water were extra special. The furnishings are comfortable and the place was very clean. We hope to return. It was super relaxing and the neighbors were so friendly!

This is one of a jumble of cottages clustered on a spit of land between two rocky coves. It is not a buzzy mecca of shops and restaurants, but Bath is not too far away and it is only 15 minutes or so to Popham. It's just a very nice place to be.
