    What's special

    Ever dreamed of owning a movie set? Tucked away on sought-after Surf Street and set against the backdrop of picturesque Popham Beach, this romantic cedar-shake cottage features vernacular Gothic Revival architecture and served as the house in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel Message in a Bottle. Nestled among pitch pines and just steps from the sand, this peaceful property offers a calm, timeless atmosphere. With a strong rental history and a variety of spaces for gathering and relaxing—there's room for everyone. Receive guests in comfort on the airy screened-in front porch. Inside, charm and comfort abound framed by panoramic water views from nearly every room. The eat-in kitchen features a butcher block countertop, beadboard ceiling, built-in china closet, and a washer and dryer for your convenience. A screened-in door leads to a covered farmer's porch and screened in porch, perfect for savoring morning coffee or evening drinks. Enjoy the ease of entertaining in the open living and dining room with a cozy electric fireplace. A bonus room off the living area connects to the shared full bath, offering flexibility—perfect as a first-floor primary suite, office, or den. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a lofted sleeping area provide separate, comfortable spaces for guests to unwind. The attic space above offers ample storage space with the opportunity for additional living space. Just 3 minutes to historic Fort Popham and Spinney's Restaurant, 28 minutes to downtown Bath, 40 minutes to Maine Street Brunswick and just over an hour to Portland.
