Great place, great views

Our family has rented a number of places over the years & this was one of the very best. Clean, comfortable, functional, well stocked. We even made a list of the good things about it & we exceeded the number of steps, tee hee. GREAT VIEWS, from inside and out, big decks, sheltered table, working grill, window treatments that kept out the dawn's early light, binoculars, towels &&&

Magnificent home! Fully furnished with everything you could possibly need for your trip. The views were gorgeous. Upstairs bed was comfy and you wake up surrounded by the gorgeous views that I am very much missing now! We used the home as a base to explore up and down the coast of Maine. Truly a magical home. Carrie and Paul are fantastic hosts.. even got us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary! A bottle of wine for a birthday, complete with cards for both. Super sweet gesture! The stairs aren’t bad… but you definitely get a workout in! Super quiet neighborhood. Looking forward to booking again in the future!

A wonderful vacation getaway

We celebrated our 30th anniversary here.The many stairs were well worth the view of Popham beach, seals, and the ocean! We were super relaxed just watching the water. There were plenty of things to do in the area. Maine Maritime Museum just over the town line in Bath had a wonderful 3 hour lighthouse cruise. Included in the tour we saw many seals, osprey, herons and an eagle. The cottage is located within easy driving distance to lighthouses and harbors along the coast, such as, Portland Head, Cape Neddick(Nubble Light), Camden and Boothbay Harbor. We saw seals every day from the porch and also watched them while dining on Popham Beach at Spinnys. The neighbors we ran into were all friendly and there is a nice down home feel to the area.We cannot say enough good things about Carrie and Paul, our hosts. They had the cottage fully stocked with everything we could possibly need or want and they communicated throughout our stay to make sure things were going well. They truly care about you when you stay here!!!We absolutely recommend this place!

Concluded another lovely stay at the Topsider - our 3rd year. The feeling of being recharged and relaxed after a visit is why we keep coming back. There is something to be said for the remoteness of this place, situated on the high outer peninsula of Georgetown, surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic and Kennebec River, it can feel like you are on the bow of a ship. Carrie and Paul consistently do a great job providing a clean house, with all the basic accessories to enjoy a home away from home. We appreciated the new king sized bed in the one-bedroom second-story bedroom with its panoramic views of the water greeting you each morning. We also enjoyed the addition of a telescope we used to monitor the comings and goings of various ships and water craft into Bath and to stargaze into a night sky unobstructed by light pollution. We enjoyed multiple 4th of July fireworks displays while sitting on the deck this year. Note, this is not a luxe property and the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are small with minimal personal storage. What the Topsider IS is a well-kept, charming, rustic house with a host we have found to be extremely thoughtful, responsive and easy to communicate with.

Keeps getting better!

We had a wonderful 5th visit to Topsider. Terrific view and cozy interior makes it on our short list of favorite places ever. This trip we especially enjoyed the Maritime Museum in Bath and first visit to Pemaquid peninsula and lighthouse . We also discovered Maine’s own Gifford ice cream enjoyed on Tooside deck with sunset.

Stairmaster with a fantastic bonus

Topsider is a wonderful place to stay, clean, comfortable, and a view that is worth every step. Carrie has thought of everything one might need and was always available to answer any questions we had as well as providing information about the area. We truly enjoyed our week there, it just went by too quickly. Hope to return and would highly recommend staying here.

Relaxing Maine Vacation

This was our second stay at The Topsider, and we enjoyed this visit as much as we did the first! We were out and about most days exploring the area, but always looked forward to returning back to our home away from home to eat a delicious meal and relax. On a couple of dreary and rainy days, we were just as happy to hang out, play some games, relax, and take in the views! This is such a special place, thank you again to our wonderful hosts!

Comforts of home!

This is our second year of staying at The Topsider and we couldn't be more pleased, once again. The house is stocked with everything you need from beach towels to blankets and paper towels, corn hole, giant Connect Four, and even books. The view is amazing and we like climbing the stairs for exercise. The owners are very prompt with their communication and super helpful, as well... definitely recommend staying here!
