We were in town for a wedding and had a great stay at Phil and Brenda’s! They greeted us upon arrival and the home was peaceful, quiet and private. Our morning hot tub was great too. Thanks for a great weekend!
We had a great stay with Brenda. It was like staying with a friend. The rooms were extremely comfortable and Brenda provided us with so many extras that made the stay wonderful. I highly recommend this stay.
I feel very lucky to have found this VRBO listing. Brenda and Phil were great hosts and the property is so nice and welcoming.The rooms are nicer than can be captured in the photos, and everything is rather luxurious and comfortable.The location is awesome, as it's right by UNE (I went swimming there; very nice pool and facility), and close enough to beaches, and a short drive from Kennebunk.I'd definitely stay here again, and would recommend to friends and family.
This was a terrific place to stay. The rooms were upstairs over the garage, so there was a nice sense of privacy, although there’s an adjoining door to the kitchen. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a queen bed, and two single beds in a separate room. Perfect for a family. The property is surrounded by woods and feels secluded, but is only a couple hundred yards from the campus of the University of New England. Great location to visit the university, and an easy 10 minute drive to Biddeford (or half and hour to Portland). Our hosts were lovely people, friendly and helpful, with a very sweet greyhound named Ollie. Terrific stay, highly recommended.
Phil and Brenda's place was a very nice place to stay while we were running the Maine Coast half marathon. The hosts thought of every detail and made us feel right at home. We would certainly stay here again when in the area!
I had a weekend course scheduled at UNE. I could not ask for better lodging. 100% perfect. Clean, beautiful, comfortable. Only 1/3 mi from the campus which was an easy walk (and a better choice since they have parking issues at UNE). I took an easy walk to the trail at Rachel Carson as well. Hot tub - early morning watching the dawn break - serene. Perfect hosts.
This was our second week-long stay here with our family of four during the summer. We plan on returning next year as well. Quiet location, accessible to everything, and exactly the size space that our family needed.
Thank you to Phil and Brenda to have shared with us their little paradise 😊 The place is well located in a quiet area, the courtyard is a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers, a terrasse and a jacuzzi and the appartment was perfect to accomodate a family of four and well decorated.
Great stay, easy communication, clean quarters. A B&B feel as the accommodations are in an upstairs of the house over the garage / living area. Good location.
Clean, quiet, excellent location near UNE and Biddeford Beaches
My wife, our two teenagers, and I enjoyed a week-long Maine vacation here. It was very clean, very quiet, and very conveniently located. EXTREMELY quiet and secluded location while still very close to everything you'd want to visit in the area.
Very nice place to stay inside and out. The hot tub was a nice extra. Our hosts were very friendly. Convenient location to spots in Southern Maine up to Portland.
This is our third time staying at Brenda and Phil’s and they are just so sweet. It’s like staying with your grandma and grandpa. They go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and happy and have everything you need. We’ll be back next year for year 4!
We absolutely loved our stay. It was very comfortable for our family of 4 (2 adults 2 teenagers).
Comfy beds, great extras like bagels and other snacks and a gorgeous property. Hosts were very kind and friendly.
Close distance to beaches and cute towns close by.
We would stay here again!
We were in Biddeford visiting our daughter who is a freshman at UNE. Loved the property and the location being walking distance to campus made for a wonderful visit. Already planning our next stay for move in for the Fall Semester!
Brenda and Phil are great hosts!! Their hospitality is unmatched and all of the little touches didn't go unnoticed. The rental is close to great food and shopping, we even took day trips into Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We definitely enjoyed our stay!!
We loved our stay at Brenda and Phil's home! They were so welcoming to us and made every effort to make the stay comfortable and memorable for us. Just like many of the other reviews state, it truly is like staying at your grandparents house and the property was truly so beautiful and the perfect spot for us to stay as we explored so many gorgeous towns on Maine's southern coast. The rooms were so spacious and communication was seamless if we ever needed any extra supplies etc. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you Brenda and Phil for making our Maine trip truly unforgettable!
I was thrilled to find this lovely rental when I was planning our trip to Biddeford Pool, Maine. The property was tucked away surrounded by a beautiful background of trees. It was easy to find, well situated, and very roomy for me and my 3 adult children. The unit was very clean and nicely appointed (very New England) and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay (the second bathroom was a bonus for sure!). Our hosts were wonderful - friendly, easy going and accommodating. Should I find myself returning to Biddeford Pool in the future, I would definitely rent this beautiful unit again.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda and Phil Johnson
We are an active retired couple who built our house to retire near our grandchildren. Our son is a well know ME architect and he designed a very custom home for his parents. Our home has been featured in Maine Home and Design's Ageless ME May 2018 issue.
Why they chose this property
We have a wonderful location on a wooded lot on a marsh which is a Rachel Carson bird sanctuary. It is only a short walk to the the peninsula of Hills Beach where you can see both the sunrise and sunset. We are also basically on the campus of UNE with its new tennis and pickle board courts just across the street. We are very close to Biddeford Pool and Kennebunkport and Portland.
What makes this property unique
You will love Brenda and Phil's Place because it is new and secluded in the Maine woods. However we are very close to everything on the Southern Coast of Maine. Our home was designed for Airbnb and VOB in mind so we have a separate entrance and you also have use of our washer dryer which is close to your suite and all equipment you need for a day at the beach.
