About this property

Phenomenal location in Bath, ME- Comfortable,3 BR, 2 bath, Close to Everything!

This delightful, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, cape is just a stone’s throw from the shore of the mighty Kennebec River. Peeks of the water from the spacious elevated back deck overlooking a terraced backyard.

Updated systems, Heat pump splits throughout the home, newer appliances, granite countertops and ideal for any time of year. The home is super close to the waterfront, library, numerous restaurants, grocery stores and more.

The main floor is equipped with a front deck, well-stocked and updated kitchen, and the Dining Area is just around the corner from the kitchen, sharing space with the Living Room. The master bedroom is off of the kitchen, offering a comfy king size bed, and there is a full bath on the first floor, just around the corner from the bedroom, with a walk-in shower, and the washer and dryer.

Head upstairs, and you will come upon the other 2 bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, the other with 2 twin size beds. The other room on the second floor, has been casually furnished with 2 cozy recliners, a tv, as well as the exercise bike--- “The Man or Woman Cave ” ! Also on the second floor is another full bath, tub/shower.

The driveway is narrow, but enough parking for 2 cars. There is a town parking lot, just down the street if you need overflow parking.

Bath, also known as the City of Ships, has a lovely walkable downtown complete with restaurants, pubs, retail shopping, a drug store, and weekly farmer’s market which is held at the city’s waterfront park. The home is in close proximity to the great Popham Beach, Fort Popham, Reid State Park, Morse Mountain, and other great hiking trails as well as ocean areas to explore. Bath is also within reasonable driving distance to Harpswell, Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset, Bar Harbor, Freeport and Portland. This home is an excellent home base for exploring coastal Maine, or would also make a fantastic long term rental for those who wish to stay a bit longer! Bath is conveniently located 10 minutes from Brunswick, take the train from there and travel the Maine coast. Brunswick is also home to Bowdoin College, which offers the Maine State Music Theatre, with superb productions, and museums to enjoy ! Close to Portland, and Freeport, home of LL Bean, many outlet shops, and restaurants. Driving distance to Popham Beach...the most spectacular stretch of sandy beach in Maine, along with historical forts to explore. Bath, Phippsburg, Boothbay Harbor, and Bar Harbor all all great day trips! So many sights to see in and around Bath, Phippsburg, Harpswell and surrounding areas! Proudly managed by Maine Coastal Connections. This property can be viewed an booked on Vrbo, AirBnb, and Maine Coastal Connections. Please note, cancellations will be refunded per policy, less any processing fees.

Great Stay

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.

Awesome Location for Traversing Maine!

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!

Great Location

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.

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.

Convenient location with attention to details

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!

It was wonderful at 1317 Washington Street!

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!

Nice property, quite location

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.

All the comforts of home

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.

Great house and location.

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.

Great place

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.

Everything a guest might need!

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.

When in Maine

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!

Just Okay Overall

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.
