The perfect vacation only steps to the beach

Our family had an amazing time and the views we’re breathtaking. It also had an endless amount of amenities for a vacation on the beach. We can’t say enough about our time at this property and look forward to going back in the future!

Fantastic beach vacation !!

We had a perfect stay! The house was clean and large enough for 8 adults and 3 small children. It was clear that the home was very well maintained with all the latest updates. Location was absolutely the best. Ocean views from everywhere, easy walk to the beach and a quick drive to Old Orchard Beach. Loved everything!!

Great Escape To Paradise

We were a family of 11 in total and the home was perfect for all.. It was an awesome spot for a private home and beach. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The owners were accessible for questions and responsive upon arrival. It's a great property if you want an escape to Paradise, book this property. We would definitely go back.. Thank you Donald and Angela. Kind regards, Tricia and family.

Peaceful and Private

We loved our stay on the beach in Saco. The house was practically on the water with endless views. There are 2 decks and additional outdoor space with chairs and a FirePit. Saco is centrally located for visits South to Biddeford Pool and Kennebunkport and North to Scarborough and Portland. There is no master bedroom with bath attached, but there are 4 bedrooms upstairs with 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms downstairs with another full bath. The upstairs is newly renovated and beautiful. Angela responded quickly to questions, Donald came out on a Sunday to replace our propane tank when we thought we might be running low. It was a terrific week.

Best place to stay in Maine!!

I could write a review each year we stay about how amazing it is here. Every year gets better and better for our family. The house is perfect and the renovations were amazing to see! Even with the weather not cooperating towards the end of our stay didnt matter because we truly enjoy the house so much. Our 5 year old and now 2 year old LOVE this house, beach, and all the memories we make each year. Angela and Donald are beyond helpful before your stay and during your stay. We already can't wait to come back for our 5th time!! Thank you again Angela and Donald for sharing your home with our family.

Beautiful beachfront home in lovely residential area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Angela and Don’s home. The recent renovations are gorgeous and there is plenty of space to house family and friends. Angela was very responsive to our questions. The only downside for us was the spotty WiFi. Highlights: Decks - amazing views, great furniture Yard with fire pit - really enjoyed using this space Ample parking - it was great to be able to accommodate our different schedules of who’s staying at the house and our kids who are all drivers Garage - super convenient for storage Nice neighbors Clean and not cluttered Great amenities Pet friendly

Great beachfront find!

We loved our stay here. Beautiful, quiet, great bbq area & sand in the yard for our kids to play when we weren't at the beach. Regarding the storm wall that is mentioned in prior reviews that separates this house from the beach— it turned out to be one of our favorite features. The peace of mind that our kids (4-6 yrs) couldn't run directly into the water was priceless. To be clear, the wall does not block the water views from within the house because the house is raised; and because of the wall, there is no vehicular traffic. Best of both worlds for us. Angela responded very quickly when we contacted her during our stay. Would definitely come back.

Perfect Getaway!

We've been vacationing in Maine for years, but this was by far our best experience. The photos don't do the property justice - the kitchen is modern & up to date, bright sunroom has a great view, living room is bright with comfy furniture (naps in the recliners highly recommended), coffee on the balcony off the master bedroom is the perfect start to the day. All in all, a great house right on the beach. However, we spent more time in the large yard (the largest we noticed in this area) sitting by the fire, playing games, grilling and simply relaxing. We had a wonderful time & will definitely return!

Ocean front beauty of a rental

After spending 15 summers renting at a nearby Maine beach, we ventured out to find a new spot for our family vacation. Boy did we luck out in finding this gem of a property. Loved waking up to seeing the sunrise over the ocean, waves hitting the rocks, upgraded kitchen was a dream during meal prep. Loved the quiet end of street, beachfront property. Old Orchard Beach fireworks in the distance was a special treat on Thursday. Owners are extremely helpful and the entire rental process was smooth. We are hoping to make this our spot for years to come. Thank you Angela and Don!
