The house was just what we needed to spend the week in Maine visiting a UNE student. Close to campus but also quintessential Maine coastal rental. We had beautiful fall weather while we were there so were able to enjoy the patio and also the backyard fire area with choice of solo stove or chiminea and Adirondack chairs and a picnic table overlooking the water. Easy access to Hills Beach, a quiet sandy beach across the street, and a short distance to Fortunes Rocks Beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook a full meal and enjoy hosting a small dinner. The bedrooms were small but perfect for what we needed. We appreciated having a washer and dryer in the house and cable TVs. Host was responsive and informative. Will definitely be back!

This place is highly recommended. The owners are amazing and on top of everything. We stayed for the week for our honeymoon and what an amazing place to spend our honeymoon! Thank you to the Clark family for letting us stay here can not wait to go back!

Joe’s beach cabin was an absolutely perfect location for may family’s trip to the Biddeford area. The space was comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and most importantly for us, the location was fantastic. Literally across the street from a wonderful sandy beach and butting up directly to a beautiful salt marsh - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Hoping to come back before too long!

Just returned from a Friday-Sunday stay. It was myself, my husband, and our two young daughters. Very cute house...3 proper bedrooms and one loft (which my kids loved!). One bathroom-small but suitable. Best part of the property was the location....behind the house is a picturesque marsh...and across the street just a short walk is a very pretty, very quiet beach. We were the only ones there almost always. It is a bay area, so no waves, great for a protective mom, the kids were not as happy lol. But all sand, and really nice.
House was well appointed with basically everything you need. Owner requested we bring our own toilet paper and paper towels (which should be included at house, imo...), but when we arrived they were indeed supplied, so they were not necessary. Plenty of clean linens and kitchenware. Oh-there was a great outdoor shower which I didn't intend to use but the kids loved it after the beach-a nice perk.
The only critique I can offer, which really is out of the owners hands, is that the other houses nearby are very, very close. There are large windows, so there was not a lot of privacy. The other downside to this was one of the neighbors decided to throw a very loud get together that went well into the early morning....and faced all of our sleeping windows. Simply due to the proximity of their property, it did keep us awake. Bad luck I guess.
All in all it is a wonderful location that we would happily stay in again. Thank you!!

The cottage is adorable, and very clean with cute beachy decor. The backyard is RIGHT ON a gorgeous salt marsh, National Wildlife Sanctuary. Bring your binoculars! 6 Adirondack chairs surround a chiminea. Such a relaxing wonderful spot. A right of way path to the beach, ocean is right across the road. There is a nice long dog run which my dog used a lot to be out with me enjoying the yard.

For two families with small babies, it was enjoyable to stay at. Despite weather being rainy/cloudy it was nice to have it close to the beach to walk down to!

This property puts you back in time. It is so quiet and peaceful, yet perfect distance to what you need. LL Bean in Freeport and Kennebunkport are so close. Many things to do.
We brought our kayaks and launched both from the back of the house and across the street in the ocean. Went to Market Basket for our lobsters and steamer clams every night. We frequent VRBO's and my 17 year old son was so happy to have ice from the refrigerator, lol.
The house is very clean and decorated beach style, so comfy. I didn't need a thing and I'm always the one who brings extras so I am comfortable.
Nice to have real cable instead of on demand for the late evening. We bought firewood and sat by the fire.
The host was great to communicate with. Gave us great advice!
Definitely visit Ken's in Scarborough, it was yummy!
Need to plan our next trip back!

Joe made this an easy experience, provided plenty of information about the rental and the area. The house was clean and just right for us three and our two dogs. Easy to get to surrounding areas and very peaceful. A retreat from our hectic lives.

I enjoyed my stay at this cozy, warm cottage. The location couldn’t be better. The home backs to a picturesque reserve. The beach is across the street and you can watch the sunrise from the living room!

Perfect fall weekend stay at a lovely, cozy beach house.
Close proximity to the ocean was thoroughly enjoyed as was the river side views.

A huge thank you to Joe for allowing us to rent this little slice of heaven. The cabin was clean and cozy, we also loved the grassy backyard for our pup and enjoyed s’mores by the firepit.
The location was secluded, but still a short drive from little shops and restaurants. There are definitely some gems to explore in this town!
We enjoyed the beach area too, just across the street from the property. Great location and friendly neighbors too!

Perfect house, great weekend!
Great little house, worked out perfectly for our graduation weekend, location close to all amenities and Portland. House was clean & comfortable, great beach theme and the yard & fire pit overlooking nature conserve was lovely to spend some much needed downtime. Thanks to Joe for helpful tips and recommendations, we would definitely rent again, easy check in and out, couldn’t have been simpler, highly recommended! Jayne & Family

What a gem!
My girlfriend and I booked this place for a weekend getaway - and we had such a great stay! Walked across the street to the beach, sat on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view. This place is adorable and so charming and peaceful. Joe was fantastic with check in and directions. Would love to stay again!

Perfect location
I almost don't want to leave a review and keep this place for myself! We stayed here the 1st wkend in April to visit our daughter at UNE, a 10 min walk away. The cottage is adorably decorated, extremely clean and comfortable. It has everything you need and the location can not be beat, marsh with a river right behind and beach right across the street, Owners were friendly and responsive with lots of helpful info. Thank you again for sharing your home, we look forward to staying again!

Total gem!
Great property! Small but great use of space and so much outdoor space! Make sure to bring toilet paper and paper towels, as well as any condiments you might need as they are not provided and the fridge gets completely cleaned out. Also if you want to make use of the fire pit outside, bring firewood. Beautiful home, two decks and a large back yard. Beach across the street was very nice. I had a surgical procedure done at maine medical in Scarborough and this was the perfect place to come back to after. Owner was super helpful, even checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Beautiful well kept property.

You want to stay here: Amazing area. Adorable home. Kind host!
Spent two nights at this nice getaway. It was perfect for a girls getaway weekend! Advertisement was accurate. The place was clean and nicely decorated. All the amenities you would expect in a home. Loved the location. Great for sunrises and sunsets! To have the wandering waterway on one side and the ocean on another (across street) was perfect! Enjoyed a fire in the chiminea at night. Beautiful Moon rises over the ocean. Beach is literally across the street from the driveway.
Peaceful mornings with
a cup of coffee and a walk on the beach and then some wildlife viewing in the distance from the backyard. Even though we visited in november, I feel that this area would still be peaceful even in a busy summer time.
Homeowner was super kind and helpful. Definitely recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely perfect!
This perfect little house with the marsh on one side & the beach on the other is within walking distance of UNE, where our son is. It’s quiet, relaxing and just a short drive into Biddeford & Saco. It’s fully stocked with anything you might need. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!
Joe’s directions made it so easy to find and he was easy to contact when I had one question about parking. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Both the owners and the house were welcoming and made it feel like home. Even my son, who lives in the dorms on campus, loved it ❤️

Wonderful stay!
The place was immaculate when we arrived. The walk to the beach was short as described. Watched the sunrise from the beach both mornings but could also see the sunrise from our front window. The back area is on a marsh where we spent time watching three cranes feeding both days. Glorious! Our dog is an older dog who has trouble with slippery laminate floors so we just brought our own rug runners and she was as content as can be. We will likely visit again late fall early winter. Joe was. Wry available to answer any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days exploring nature preserves and busting familiar beaches further south.

Marvelous fall get away
Cottage was immaculate. Walk to beach was across the street and the beach was pristine.

Quiet and peaceful
Quiet and peaceful location. Even with neighbors close by it was very private. The backyard views to the marsh were absolutely gorgeous and the stretch of beach was beautiful and abundant with shells for our grandkids who stayed with us one night. Only complaint is the bed in the back bedroom. I am sorry to say it was extremely small and uncomfortable. Not sure what the other two beds were like.I guess I am spoiled by my queen-size Stearns and Foster. Everything else was perfect. Kitchen was well-stocked with anything you would need. A cute house with a beachy feel.

Nice family getaway
We had a great trip! Property was clean, right across from beach and convenient location to many good spots in Maine. Only one piece of advice would be to bring bug spray, Biddeford mosquitos are no joke!

Lovely
So, this place is a gem. It is super clean and has a small and well-thought-out layout. Joe was great to deal with, funny and warm. The beach is across the street and the backyard is a tidal marsh bird sanctuary. We honestly just sat in the backyard and relaxed instead of running around, but if you wanted to do things, they house is 20 min away from Kennebunkport and 20 min away from Portland. This is really a lovely find and we would definitely go back.

5-Star Rental, Location, and Owners; Highly Recommend!!!
This cute place was perfect for a quick weekend beach getaway and checked all of the boxes. Accommodations were all we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Directly across the street from the right of way to the beach, itself beautiful, campfire and Adirondacks along the marsh in the backyard boasting epic views/sunsets, and even a very nice/private outdoor shower with dressing area. Joe the owner was very informative about the house, the area, and even walked us through getting the outdoor shower on unseasonably early at our request. Kitchen fully stocked with utensils and the usual appliances, and even a nice supply of board games and smart speaker/music! Will certainly return and highly recommend.
