This is our third year staying here, and it is always wonderful. Steps from the beach and a cozy little spot for our stay. Looking forward to visiting again.
We had such an amazing time at Popham. The cottage was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. Marianne was available by email and quick to reply to any questions we had. I wouldn't change a thing about this vacation. It was just what we needed to reconnect as a family after a busy year. We all can't eait to go back.
It was wonderful to stay at this Driftwood cottage for the week. Although the weather wasnât the most cooperative, we made the most of our time back in an area thatâs like a second home to us. The beach was beautiful and fun! The cottage was cute, well stocked with necessities, and made for a cozy nest for our Clue marathon on the stormy day.
We loved our stay at Marianne's cottage. It was perfect for a family of 4 with two small kids. The beach is a stone's throw from the doorway. Perfect for the kids, you don't have to lug everything back and forth at once. The cottage and beach were dog friendly (though we didn't bring our dog we could have). Absolutely great location and the beach is not crowded at allâplenty of space to enjoy. Marianne was a wonderful host and super responsive to all of our questions. We can't wait to come back! One minor suggestion would be adding some blinds in the dining area and on the doors.
This cottage is the perfect place to restore yourself and enjoy a relaxing week at Popham Beach. All of the amenities we needed were included, and it was great to be just 30 seconds away from a walk in the sand. When I contacted the host re: a question, she responded immediately, which was very helpful. Would highly recommend staying at the Driftwood!
This property is so cute, especially the kitchen. It has everything you need and nothing that you don't!
The location is great--the beach is just steps away.
We stayed during cooler weather-- 40s to 50s at night and the heater was quite sufficient. My only request would be a few more curtains :)
Left for a few days as thought I
Could work From there but due to Wi-Fi could not. Couldnât reach landlord as no signal at all. Neighbor assisted and fixed the issue
We stayed as the whole family: two parents, two kids and grandma in August for a week. Everything was great: views, location, beach and weather. Cottage was clean, has everything we need, including linens, kitchen ware and outdoor grill with picnics table. Just not enough time for all the fun!
Lovely place, we hope to visit again in the future! I thought this was ocean-facing when I booked it, but I guess close enough! You can hear the ocean at night. The kitchen had the basics, could use a few more pots and pans. Linens were good, the cottage was very clean. This place is really about being on the beach in a secluded beach area.
We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage! The beach is absolutely amazing! It was a great family vacation and we look forward to visiting in the future!
Marianne's cottage is clean and beautifully decorated in a beach theme. It's location is superb, with easy access to a pristine, uncrowded beach next to Popham Beach State Park. While it did feel "cozy," the weather was beautiful so we were outside most of the time. Living and dining area felt spacious for us. Bedrooms are small but adequate. Was quite warm in the cottage until the breeze picked up in the afternoon, so the fans were a big help. We had a lovely week with family and friends coming and going, all of whom adored the place. Thank you!
The property was as advertised and essentials were provided to make our stay comfortable. This cottage is uniquely located steps from Popham Beach and is one we would book again!
From the online presentation we were led to believe that the property was facing directly onto the ocean. Alas, it was perpendicular to the beach, four dwellings down the line, facing the parking lot with the ocean a distant view. There are other properties in this complex that do "front" the ocean; this is not one of them.
We are so grateful to have had four nights here, my only complaint is that we didnât book more time! Truly a dream- would recommend stocking up on groceries to cook dinners as the closest restaurants are a bit farther away, but the kitchen is well stocked with cooking tools and you can walk your dinner over to the beach! Fell asleep to crashing waves every night, explored at nearby giants stairs and drank coffee on the beach every morning. Wish we lived here!
My husband and I enjoyed this small cottage near the ocean for our 10 year wedding anniversary. The inside of the cottage is decorated well, kitchen is stocked well, and listening to the ocean with the windows open at night was fabulous. There are several other cottages at this property but it wasn't crowded. Being able to have a fire on the beach at night was fantastic too. Although this cottage is off the beaten path enough to feel you "got away" it is also close enough to run out for food or shopping as well.
