Phippsburg, Maine

Newly offered, this newly renovated, traditional (circa 1900) water's edge cottage is only a "stone's throw" away from the sea. You will awaken to the sounds of the sea: gulls, eagles, osprey, lobster boats setting out for the day. A panoramic view of eastern Casco Bay with at least 10 islands in sight will hold your attention while sipping your morning coffee on the front porch. Kayaks, canoes, rafts and other hand-carried watercraft can be launched from your front lawn. Larger trailered boats can be launched from neighboring launch ramps (two private, one public). One mooring is available, on request, for boats up to 25 feet. You may catch striped bass (rockfish), bluefish, flounder, mackerel and others from/immediately off "your" frontage, depending on how the fish are "running". There are many other pursuits in the surrounding area. Popham Beach State Park is a 15 minute drive and offers a supurb beach and two historic forts - Fort Popham and Fort Baldwin. Phippsburg Historical Society Museum, Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, The Peary MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College in Brunswick and the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland are but a few of the cultural sites offered. L.L.Bean in Freeport is a great place to spend the day. When your day is done, you may purchase lobsters from the cottage owner at "dock", wholesale, price and enjoy a fantastic Maine summer feast.
