Phenomenal location in Bath, ME- Comfortable,3 BR, 2 bath, Close to Everything!
Welcome to "Our Happy Place" !!
This delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape is just a stone’s throw from the scenic Kennebec River, offering peaceful surroundings and glimpses of the water from the spacious, elevated deck overlooking a terraced backyard—perfect for relaxing mornings or unwinding in the evening.
Entering from the driveway-side deck, you’re welcomed into a lovely, updated, and fully equipped kitchen featuring newer appliances and granite countertops. From the kitchen, enjoy the lovely deck offering a propane grill and comfortable outdoor seating, making it easy to enjoy meals in the fresh air. The dining area flows seamlessly into the cozy living room, creating a warm and inviting space to gather.
The main-floor primary bedroom is conveniently located just off the kitchen and features a comfortable king-size bed. A newly remodeled full bathroom is only steps away, complete with a walk-in shower and in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience.
Throughout the home, updated systems and energy-efficient heat pump splits provide both heating and cooling, ensuring comfort in every season. You’ll also appreciate the home’s close proximity to the waterfront, local library, restaurants, grocery stores, and more.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds—ideal for families or groups. There’s also a relaxed bonus space featuring two cozy recliners, a TV, and an exercise bike—your own casual “man cave” or “woman cave.” A second full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is also located on this level.

We enjoyed our time in this home. It was a great location close to many beautiful places. The home was nicely renovated and large with good living areas for relaxing after long days exploring the coast.
The property is very close to bath and its restaurants and shopping. We also enjoyed being close to the Library (great children’s section and the Maritime Museum ( also good for kids). Equal distance between Reid State Park and Popham Beach and near to other quaint towns.
The House was exactly as noted in the VRBO Listing. Was clean and ready to go upon arrival. The House is an historical landmark...but has been updated and remodeled in some respects, but retains its roots if you look close enough. I recommend this property if you happen to be traveling to Bath.
We had a comfortable stay in Bath, ME and were very pleased with all of the special touches and attention to detail that helped make the stay easy, such as USB ports next to each bedside, information booklets with area details separated by type of activity, easy storage by the front door, and other touches that made it obvious the owner put great thought into it all. I had a very enjoyable stay with my family (3 generations). Would definitely recommend to others!
Centrally located to major tourist sites and cities, Bath is a charming, quaint, and chill town. Great food, a great laid-back breath of fresh air. The house was perfect for our family. It was fully stocked, clean, and comfy. Zero complaints. We have stayed in many rentals over the years, and this house by far had the best staples for use and comfy beds. Located about a mile out of town, if you want quiet and a lovely water view while grilling or sipping coffee, this is it!

Bath, Maine
The photos in the listing are a bit deceiving. There were 5 of us - a couple in their upper 50's, a couple in their 60's and sister 80 years old. The staircase is very very steep. The King Size bedroom is next to the kitchen with barn doors and no A/C. The photos show this room as a dining room. The back patio had no shade. The photos show a large orange umbrella. No cushions on outside wood seating. The photos make it look as though you can walk to water. Not so, it is private property. We did not find an area to walk to water the listing states 5 minute walk to water. Overall the house was comfortable and clean but bring toilet paper and coffee. For 5 people we only had two rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom and 3 caffeinated K-cups. Other K-cups we were not interested in. There is a drip machine and some coffee in freezer. We went and bought toilet paper and K-cups. There are a few things I was disappointed about but if I mentioned might be considered nit picking but I have stayed at better equipped VRBO's in the past.
Great place to stay in a quiet neighborhood. There’s an excellent coffee shop right up the road, but it isn’t a commercial area at all. Super cute cozy house.
Great place to stay
Very well prepared for guests. Great place in town. Very nice clean house. Bedroom on the first floor makes a great for older people
This house was perfect for coming to spend time with family in Bath and the area. The house was in great shape and provided for all our needs. Our age ranged from 92 years old and four generations to 20 months old. We were very happy to share this space.
We had a lovely stay with three generations (6 total) staying in this generous home for a nearby college graduation. We toured area towns, went to the beach and the maritime museum - all wonderful and convenient. A great place!!
So happy we found this home. Location, amenities, communication could not have been better. The place was immaculate and very comfortable. Will be back!
We really enjoyed this VRBO in Bath, ME. Very clean, everything was in working order, and it is a great location. You can easily explore the mid-coast region from here. Thanks to Sheri. She is a great host!
The property is beautifully appointed with all comforts of home. We were able to communicate effortlessly with the owner. So very pleased with this selection. A nearby natural area gave us scenic water view hikes and Bath is full of good food and history. Wonderful stay
A+
We had a great stay. Sheri was great at communicating before our arrival. Upon arrival, entry was easy, the house was as described and very clean. Everything worked perfect.
The location is great for exploring Bath and the surrounding areas. We were in town during Heritage Days and it was a 2 min drive or 15 min walk to all the goings on.
I’d definitely stay here again.
Very comfy house for 2 couples. Lots of space to relax, cook, dine, play cards. Furnished for comfort. Washer and dryer a plus for travelers. Enjoyed outdoor deck, A/C. Stairs might be a concern for some, and sloped ceilings upstairs, but a great house for a family or small group.
A great property, accurately described. Property was clean and in good condition, and in a quiet neighborhood. Very nice kitchen, deck, and living room areas. Bathrooms are fine, downstairs could use a redesign so the laundry area was separate, but perfectly fine.
The stay was wonderful. The house was as pictured, the rooms were perfect, the A/C was fantastic! The deck was comfortable (the only thing we discussed was maybe some cushions for the chairs, they were very hard). The six ladies were there for a three day golf tournament and we said we wished that it was an annual because we would love to stay there every year! The parking was an issue, we thought, and then we were able to park in a lot one block away - it was perfect for four cars to accommodate six different tee times. Overall we give it a fantastic rating, highly recommend!
The property was not very clean. We were there for 3 weeks with no access to a vacuum to clean in between and no real cleaning supplies (rags, windex, cleaners). Sink in bathroom did not drain adequately. No lobster pot or tools to eat at home. Quite surprised for Maine! Location okay to access surrounding areas. Property manager most helpful and responsive when needed.
Overall great place, appointments, and neighborhood. Communication was prompt. Only thing to be aware of is the parking is somewhat limited. We could only fit 2 vehicles in the driveway, and with limited street parking and 3 vehicles in our party we had to get somewhat creative. Other than that I would recommend.
We enjoyed staying at this home very much. It was clean and comfortable and nicely appointed for guests. The kitchen was very nicely outfitted with everything you might need for cooking or baking. The deck was a very nice place to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather and catch a glimpse of the river. However there is no access to the river within walking distance that is not private property.
Home away from home! Our "happy place" for short three days. Safe and very friendly neighbors. They are very respectful , but of course, so are my fam bam!!! Our short but sweet visit with our family from Maine was more than perfect. The house was cozy and clean, comfortable beds is a plus. Thank you Sheri for our fine bottle of French wine from the Provence. Perfect welcoming gift! Blessings! We will be back!
The house was in a great neighborhood. It was so quiet and laid back. This house had everything we needed. We really enjoyed all the outdoor seating. There were excellent hiking trails close by. The restaurants in town had really good food. We had a great stay!
