Ideal Beach House for Large Families, Pet Friendly

Ideal family vacation spot located one hour north of Portland, Maine in peaceful Popham Beach. Move in to our three-story, 120 year old, stately Victorian, 100 yards from the beach. Fenced-in yard, screened-in back porch, two family rooms each with TV, game room, old piano, four queen-size beds, one full, three twins, and one baby bed and several beach chairs.

Very renter friendly home with all the amenities you could possibly want and need for a restful vacation. New eat-in kitchen with two cooktops, dishwasher, two refrigerators, and plenty of kitchen storage.

Start your morning sipping coffee in one of the rockers on the large, wrap-around front porch or settle yourself by the wonderful kitchen bay window. Either place is instantly addictive! Let the sound of the ocean lull you to sleep after a tough day on the beach. So much or so little to do, depending on your preference. Popham Beach has been known to get in your blood so be prepared!

We offer 'off season' prices for June, September and October. This is a perfect place for three or four couples to use as a 'soft place to fall'.....it's quiet, beautiful and offers a wonderful atmosphere to kick back and relax.

Our stay was amazing. Being with famiky and making memories is truly a gift. The house "The Pilot House" was perfect. We cooked, we laughed, we played indoor and outdoor games and we walked the beach.

Traditional Family Trip
The location to the beach, the size of the house and being dog friendly was exactly what we were looking for. The memories we made in that short weekend were everlasting.

Excellent stay
The house couldn’t have been more well-equipped. Very comfortable. A kitchen one can really cook in, with more pans and utensils that we could use. Very clean. Excellent location. The fenced-in yard meant our dogs could enjoy the unseasonably warm weather outdoors, without being able to bolt.

Maine Beach Vaca
The kitchen was big enough for all 9 of us to eat together. Very well stocked. It was great to be able to walk along the beach whenever the urge hit. Plenty of room for everyone. The front porch rockers were another favorite of everyone.

This is our 4th time at the Pilot House, so we did not have to go on VRBO to rent it, we already had our foot in the door! A lovely old seaside place , perfect for our large family.

Stellar!
We have rented many places in the Phippsburg area over the last 10 years, and the Pilot House easily tops them all. The house is large, comfortable, impeccably maintained, tastefully decorated, and a lot of thought has clearly gone into every detail — from the small fans in every bedroom, to the well-equipped kitchen, to the assortment of beach chairs and toys. It’s a wonderful place to stay with children. Time slows down when enjoying coffee and company on the porch. And you’re steps away from Popham Beach, easily one of the best beaches in Maine. We have loved staying here and are looking forward to doing it again!

If your looking for a big place to stay that's close to the beach look no further. The Pilot house has it all. Owners supplied the house with everything you'll need to vacation at the beach. Beach chairs, towels, carts and games. Just bring your swim trunks and enjoy. It was truly a pleasure to stay here.

Wonderful Weekend at The Pilot House
My family and I stayed at the Pilot House for a weekend to celebrate my son’s college graduation! My only wish is that we could have stayed longer. The house itself is wonderful, plenty of room for everyone and beautifully decorated! The owner has great taste! We enjoyed gathering on the screened in back porch and large kitchen. The boys spent many hours playing ping pong and corn hole. A short walk brings you to beautiful Popham Beach. We saw lots of seals in the water at the fort, and took some long walks on the beach. Spinners is a short drive or walk, and serves great food. Highly recommend their seafood fettuccini Alfredo! If you are looking for a great place to stay in Maine, do not hesitate to stay here. We hope to be back in the future!

Fall weekend mini vacation
Our group of 11, including three small children, visited for a long weekend in October. The house worked very well for us; plenty of space. We loved the big front porch with plenty of seating and a swing. The adults were able to relax on the porch while the kids played in the fenced yard. We didn't need to get in our cars the entire weekend, just hung out at the beach and the house.
