Seven distinct stays. One stretch of Maine coast.
Tideline Pines is twelve acres of salt marsh and white pine on the Popham Beach peninsula in Phippsburg, Maine. Seven hand-built units — from a couples safari tent to a four-bedroom marsh-front cottage — share the same firepit circle, the same kayak shed, and the same view of the tide coming in. Pick the one that fits the trip.
The shape of the place
How Tideline Pines is laid out, what each loop feels like, and how to choose between the marsh side and the pine side.
The east half of the property is mature white pine — quiet, shaded, and noticeably cooler in July. The west half opens onto the salt marsh, with longer light, more breeze off the water, and the kind of sunsets people write home about. Units are spaced for privacy, with native pine and bayberry between every site.
A short loop trail runs the perimeter of the property — about three quarters of a mile. It connects every unit to the bathhouse, the pavilion, the fire pit circle, and the dock. Most guests do the loop in the evening with a drink in hand. There are benches roughly every two hundred yards.
