Families enjoy a spectacular summer private beach property that was uniquely designed to create ideal sleeping privacy for families and friends traveling together. Our friendly property offers a warmer private tidal beach to swim and play on, outstanding views throughout and excellent amenities.

During the fall and other off-season months, the property is an outstanding getaway providing excellent privacy for couples and small groups. It is ideally designed for groups seeking a contemporary waters edge home with amenities. The house design can provide for some extended families traveling together to have excellent privacy and more quiet sleeping spaces, which are favored by our many long-standing returning guests. The bays private tidal beach offers calmer and warmer shores create one of the few private, true swimming beaches in Maine. It is perfect for swimming and digging with buckets, collecting sea glass and using other water toys. There are no drop offs or rough surf to worry about and our westward facing tidal bay makes for some of the "warmest" swimming water in all of Maine. L.L. Bean kayaks, stand-up paddle board, canoes and lounging rafts are located directly on beach for easy use. This rare tidal bay property has access to the open ocean, but no power boats are provided or available.

Great location! Kayaked with a seal!
The location of this house is fantastic. The kids enjoyed hiking whistler trail right by the house. Close drive to Thorny Trail’s too. Bath is really cute and had great food options. We brought Plant’s Seafood (halibut and scallops) home and cooked lots in the chef’s quality kitchen. The view from all rooms is stunning. Highlight for us was kayaking during low tide out to the island. We had a harbor seal surprise us on our ride home. House had plenty of room for our large extended family trip, and the high chair and doll house was a plus! We appreciated the owners proactive communication and found them very responsive with check-in needs.

Wonderfully Relaxing
We were a group of 8 adults ages 31 and up, immediate family plus one significant other. The house is extremely well furnished in every respect, and has great water views, including from the decks of both the main house and the cottage, which also have very comfortable seating. We got a lot of use from the private beach, both wading/swimming and nearly daily use of the kayaks and paddleboard. Bath proper itself is, for my tastes, the perfect Maine town, plenty of interesting stores within easy walking distance of each other but not crowded. We got pizza from the Portland Pies in nearby Brunswick, and lobster rolls plus clam chowder from Taste of Maine, both within easy driving distance. Highly recommended.

We are a tight knit team who loves Maine as much as we love each other! So pleased to share our special spot with fellow travelers.

Why they chose this property

It's beauty is overwhelming and while only 15 minutes from either Brunswick or Bath, this special spot feels like a total escape. You can shut down the worries of the world, walk the woods, kayak on the Merrymeeting Bay, and have a glass of something special on the deck and let all your troubles melt away.

What makes this property unique

A private beach on Merrymeeting Bay. Kayaks and SUPs. Ping pong table. Located at the end of the road abutting a nature preserve, with hiking trails near the property. Hammock, deck and patio. Outdoor grills. 15 minutes from both Bath and Brunswick dining and shopping, and only a short trip up the road to Wiscasset and mid-coast tourist attractions.
