Amazing property
Spent 2 glorious fall weeks at this West Bath property. This older, well updated house nicely accommodated the two of us. It was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed. There were plenty of dishes and flatware. We cooked in for most meals. There are black out curtains in the main bedroom, so you can really sleep in if you want to! We did! The backyard views are wonderful. Jennie’s Nubble has an active eagles nest. Lobster boats and sail boats were frequently in the area. The house is well off the main road and we had complete privacy. This house is a true gem. Just wait until you see the spectacular starry night sky! Michelle was very helpful with answering questions. Just loved our stay.

Our Maine Escape
This home is charming, clean, and well-appointed, and the setting is lovely. My husband and I and our daughter enjoyed the beautiful views of the water and boats, as well as a variety of birds. And while out in our kayaks, several curious seals popped up to have a look at us! Birch Point is far enough off the beaten path to be quiet and peaceful, yet still convenient to a variety of attractions. We spent time in Portland and at the LLBean store in Freeport. We explored Bath, Wisscasset, Boothbay, and Damariscotta, and visited Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, as well as Popham Beach. Michelle was welcoming and responsive and our week in her home was a wonderful—and much needed—combination of fun and relaxation. We hope to return!

Beauty on the water
Great stay at a great location! Bald eagles, osprey, seals and lobster boats, can it get any better? Turns out it can. Took a scenic cruise out of the maritime museum just down the street, we saw a rare humpback whale in one of the inlets. Captain said she’s been doing the cruise for 8 years and this was her first!

Best views in Central Maine
This was our second stay at the property and we loved every second of it. Amazing views, cozy, clean, well stocked house, lovely neighborhood and neighbors. Located close to Bath and Brunswick which are both great towns that don’t get as much tourist traffic as some other places in Maine.

Comfortable house in a beautiful spot
We've stayed in this home a number of times over the years and the owner is very helpful. It has everything we need and has always been perfect for our summer family get-togethers. The view from the house and dock is beautiful, and there's always a nice breeze coming up the bay from the ocean. The location, about 8 miles south of Bath, is convenient for most things in the area. The airport in Portland is about an hour's drive, and it's just 15 miles to beautiful Popham Beach or to Brunswick.

Wonderful experience on the Maine coast!
This property is in a delightful location right on the water at Birch Point, with its own dock, for easy access to the sheltered water. No matter the air quality anywhere else in town, with an onshore breeze, this place always smelled fresh and clean. It was very quiet, with the only noise being the slap of the water on the shore, the birds, and the occasional lobster boat coming by to manage their traps. Just sitting and gazing out the large living room window at the expansive water view, provided a lovely experience. We had a delightful time walking on the local roads and trails, and also at the Hamilton Audubon sanctuary not far away. We very much enjoyed renting kayaks from a local business, as the process was simple, with them dropping off and picking up the kayaks, so we could focus on having fun. The nearby town of bath was a pleasure to wander, with a lot of history and interesting businesses. We did venture as far as to the L.L. Bean store, which was a fun highlight of our vacation. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful place for a quiet vacation
We watched seals playing, and eagles, osprey, herons, and cormorants fishing. The kitchen has all the tools and pots and pans a cook needs. You can easily have a wonderful family vacation as long as everyone can handle stairs. The dock is a huge plus for us. This was a return visit for, and we were thrilled to be back.

All about the View
This is a beautiful property located right on the waterfront. A large window in the living room looks out on an amazing ocean view. The house is clean, tidy and has all needed conveniences. A high tide dock tops it off! There are close neighbors to the left. However, none close to the right and that's where the deck is located so you still maintain your privacy. The owners were very available by email and phone. They also went out of their way to make sure we were welcome and content.

Great Location, Great Home, Amazing Views
Michelle, was great to work with. The home met all of our needs and then some. And then there was the view. We have stayed at a number of properties in Maine over the years and none have come close to this home when it comes to the view and the great breeze that comes off of the water. Can’t wait till our next visit.

Exceeded all expectations!!
We travel to Maine usually once a year, and this is one of the top spots we have ever stayed! The pictures do not do it justice, the views were amazing! We loved watching the tides, all the birds, (and one seal!) and we literally saw lobster on the rocks during low tide. Kids had a great time in the water getting hermit crabs, etc. We had access to kayaks and this was one of the better spots to launch from to to explore the mid coast. The home itself was the most well appointed home we have stayed in through Vrbo, it had everything to make our trip comfortable. Would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great stay on the coast of Maine!

Home away from home, only better
We have rented for years throughout New England, and this was the best equipped home we've stayed in. The atmosphere is so homey that you can't help but relax. The views are beautiful and the yard has many seating options. It is very quiet, which we love. The entryway is set up to remove jackets and shoes and a bathroom to shower when coming in from a day on the water. Having a dock was great as we have a kayak. A lot of fishing was done, and one striped bass was a keeper. We went to the Maritime Museum which we knew about because of the fantastic information folder the owner provided. The owner is very responsive and wonderful to work with. Check out some of her photos while you are there; my favorite is in the upstairs bathroom. We've already booked for next year!

I’ve been to Maine a lot over the decades, and this was my favorite spot. Three generations of our family enjoyed the view from the front window watching lobstermen plying their trade. Highly recommend.
