About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Nusbaum

Host profile image
This is my family cottage where I spent every summer of my childhood. I live next door now in the summer. This is a traditional Maine "camp." Not luxurious but very cozy and great for a family with children. Reading nook under the eaves.
Fully equipped kitchen. Linens provided.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular views and access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Undeveloped. The beach is flat and great for walking up to 3 miles, to islands at low tide, to a local restaurant, Fort Popham and Fort Baldwin.
Parking is limited to two cars.
The beach is often empty. Plenty of room for softball or football or soccer.

What makes this property unique

The only tennis court at Popham. The cottage was built by my father, room by room, into the side of Rockledge Hill. Lots of privacy, overlooking the ocean.
