An excellent, cozy stay

I was visiting family who goes to UNE and you cannot be closer to campus than this. That being said, it was also impressively well isolated from the noise you would associate with a college campus. Every morning we would wake up and see the beautiful marsh behind the property, and not think we were a 2 minute drive from college dorms. The accomodations were excellent, we had plenty of room to ourselves for our stay The hosts have tons of recommendations for any sort of venue you may be looking for. All in all, a wonderful stay, and I will be visiting again!

Getaway

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!!

Great Stay

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.

Like staying with your grandparents

This was not the first time we’ve stayed at Brenda & Phil’s home and won’t be the last. They’re so thoughtful and caring and out such detail into their home. It is like you’re staying at your grandparents’ home because the space you’re in is connected to their house, but a separate entrance. They like to make sure you’re happy and comfortable. Every amenity you could imagine is there and we’ll be back yet again next year.

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.
