Phippsburg House | Spacious Waterfront Summer Home with Swimming, Kayaking, and Sunsets

4 Bedroom House in Phippsburg

This four-bedroom house sits high above the New Meadows River, with strong wi-fi throughout. Relax on the large decks with an expansive view of this wide, salt-water, tidal river and enjoy the eagles flying overhead. Ducks, herons, cormorants, osprey, and eagle swim in or fly above the river, sailboats zip along, and lobster boats pass back and forth, trailed by sea-gulls. If you're lucky you might even see a seal pop its head up as it swims along. Glimpses of the Basin can also be seen from the side deck. Play frisbee or badminton on the front lawn, wander down the path through pine trees and blueberry bushes to the water, picking blueberries and raspberries along the way (in season). Enjoy the view from the rocky coast or walk down the dirt road to a communal cove with easy wading and swimming access. We have a double sit-on-top kayak and two single sit-on-top kayaks available for you to take out to explore the river with the osprey and seals. The combination of lawn, woods, path, and rocky coast make the property a children's wonderland. The house has a beautiful dining/living room space. The dining room is perfect for large family dinners, with seating for up to 8 at the dining room table. The living room has two comfortable couches, a flat-screened television, and a working fireplace. The well-stocked kitchen is comfortable, with ample counter space, dishwasher, and microwave. Our family has spent many years cooking sea-food feasts and baked deserts, and so the kitchen is stocked with a good selection of cooking utensils for these items, including a large pot suitable for lobsters or steaming clams. The first floor has a gorgeous, airy master bedroom that is down a long hall from the rest of the house, offering privacy and separation from the goings-on in the living room/dining area. The master bedroom has a cathedral ceiling, wooden beams, and an office area that overlooks the New Meadows River, as well as its own doors out to a small patio that is ringed with wildflowers and has views of the river. The first-floor bathroom has a tub/shower with a sky-light above it, so that you can shower with views of pine trees and sky. The toilet and sink are separated from the shower area with a sliding door, so that it is possible for a person to take a shower without blocking bathroom access. The second floor of the house is quaint and rustic, with wood paneling throughout. There are three bedrooms on the second floor (two with water views). The largest second-floor bedroom has a King sized bed and windows on two sides, including a river view. There is a 2nd second-floor bedroom with two twin beds and a view of the river, and a 3rd second-floor bedroom with two twin beds and a small nook with children's play items. While this 3rd bedroom does not overlook the river, its windows offer lovely views of the Maine woods. The second-floor bathroom has a toilet, sink, and shower, but no tub. Throughout, the house is full of rustic charm. The house sits along a dirt road just past the paved section, making it both secluded and with easy access to the surrounding area, including the towns of Bath and Brunswick (both of which offer shopping and many restaurant options, both inexpensive and upscale), and the beautiful state parks Popham Beach and Reid State Park. Freeport and its outlet shopping, Portland with its fine dining and museums, and the art galleries of Wiscasset are all within an hour drive. You can spend the day exploring and come home to enjoy a gorgeous sunset from the west-facing deck or the dining area's large windows. The house has a washer and dryer, wireless Internet access, one flat-screened TV and cable, and is well stocked with games. There is a small selection of family-friendly DVDs and a DVD player, and an old record player with the family's record collection of jazz, classical, classic rock, and musical cast albums that you are welcome to enjoy.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this house with extended family. We were a group of eight and we had plenty of room to spread out. We had quite a bit of rain but the house is so bright and living areas so spacious that it was not a problem being stuck inside. The house is part of a small, quiet community with a common dock area which was great for swimming and kayaking. On two evenings we had family from Portland come up for dinner and there was plenty of room for a large crowd to spread out. This is a special property with much of the original old house blended with new updates that make it very comfortable and bright. Communication with owner was excellent. We would absolutely rent this property again if ever up in the area.

Summary: We had some extended family coming for a long weekend and wanted to stay somewhere by the water. This house has a very beautiful and large main bedroom suite on the first floor, perfect for my elderly in-laws. The living/dining area was extremely spacious and comfortable with gorgeous water views, and very nice furniture. Same for the deck. The kitchen and second floor bedrooms are a bit more rustic, but that has its own charm and they are well appointed and comfortable. To get down to water's edge is a short, fairly steep hike, not for everyone, but you can enjoy the water view without going down there. Very pretty sunsets!

Summary: We have spent many vacations in Phippsburg area, but this was our first time on the basin side and it was great. If you enjoy having shops and restaurants close by, you may think you are too far out, but if you just want to enjoy having a home on the coast, you will love it.

Summary: This is a beautiful, well thought out, clean, lovely home. I can't say enough good things about it. It is a lived in home and not a cookie-cutter sterile empty place that is only there to make money. It is clear that people live here and that they love the house. The art on the walls is beautiful. Great location, nice beach, close to everything and yet beautifully secluded. We really loved our stay and thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Summary: This was such a special place to spend our family vacation. We enjoyed kayaking, playing badminton, going to the beach and watching sunsets from the deck. We also loved spotting bald eagles and even an owl while we were there. The house was clean and well appointed. The owner was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. We highly recommend this location for a true Maine vacation!

Summary: We booked this wonderfully nostalgic home for a last minute getaway over the 4th of July. Everything about the house made us feel right at home. We spent most of our stay out on the deck with our feet kicked up. What a view!

Summary: Property owner had great information for local attractions, go Lobstering! The property is off the main path and the kayak and water access was great way to relax just would be nice to not have to walk down the road for beach access but the view was nice from the deck. The house is dated but clean and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay! Our group consisted of 6 adults and our golden retriever. Perfect yard for a dog. We loved spending nights on the deck looking at the sunset. The outdoor space is exactly what you want; enough space for everyone and a view of the water through the trees. The home was charming and cozy. Kitchen had all of the essentials. We made a lobster dinner and utilized the beautiful dining room table. Alwynne let us know that the washer wasn’t working and provided us with a $300 refund which was beyond generous. She had someone fix it a few days into our stay. Communication with Alwynne was fantastic. There is so much to do in Phippsburg and the surrounding towns. There is a private cove that was a short walk down the road that we had all to ourselves. We had a beach day and took the kayaks out. The neighbors were very friendly and provided us recommendations. There are few restaurants and a general store near by. Overall a wonderful experience! This was our second time in Maine and we will be back again!
