About this property

Welcome home to your dream vacation!

Location, natural beauty, and endless things to do await you and your family and friends at this little piece of paradise. This roomy four-bedroom beach house is nestled on a dead-end street in a private neighborhood at Ferry Beach in Saco, Maine. You can walk the pristine seven-mile beach perfect for seashell hunting, swimming, and building epic sandcastles.

The beach house is 50 steps away from one of the prettiest beaches in Maine! We are blocks away from the state park and within walking distance to Camp Ellis known for its seafood, jetty, and fishing pier. Two miles down the beach is Ocean Park where you can putter around in seaside gift shops, grab an ice cream at the charming Soda Fountain or play a game of shuffleboard. Want Honky Tonk? Travel three miles to Old Orchard and enjoy the amusements, pizza, and pier fries. In the mood to shop? The outlets in Freeport and Kittery are less than an hour away. Looking for more exploring? Kennebunkport and Portland are each a quick 20-minute car ride. The beach house is easily accessible to the turnpike and Portland airport.

Wake up to a sunrise each morning on one of your two decks and end the day with a cocktail on the expansive, second-floor deck with breathtaking views. Both decks have barbecues and places to dine al fresco. The beach house has three comfortable bedrooms: a king, a queen, and a second queen bed with an attached half-bath. Upstairs is the bunk room with two twin bunks and another full bed tucked into a cozy nook. Gather for family meals and epic game nights around a huge dining table in the fully equipped kitchen, including a lobster pot and all the fixings to enjoy Maine's famous fare! There are plenty of spaces to spread out and enjoy quiet moments alone and family time as well. Games, puzzles, and books are available. Computer users have WIFI, internet ready TVs and a DVD in the living room.

The outdoor hot/cold shower is very refreshing when coming off the beach. Book today. A lifetime of memories awaits you!

A little slice of heaven!

First time in Saco and very pleased to have found it. House is spacious and well appointed. View and proximity to beach can’t be beat!! Best of all, dogs allowed on the beach (all Saco beaches!). You could literally show up with your suitcase and some groceries and never have to leave. Two decks to enjoy the view and sounds of the ocean. Quiet, peaceful location close to a ton of activities if you do decide to go exploring. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful house close to the beach

We love staying at this house. There is plenty of room inside for everyone - living room and another 'living room' upstairs with terrific views! We spent plenty of time on the upstairs deck, morning and evening. We had everything we needed for the kitchen and plenty of towels to use. The washer and dryer were a big help. We love the small neighborhood and being SO close to the beach. Plenty of off street parking, too. Looking forward to the next vacation! We miss the place already_- Wendy

Beautiful home, seconds from the beach

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. It was the perfect home for my family, including kids ranging in age from baby to teenager. The house is only a minute (maybe less!) walk to the sand, which is a dream for families with small children. The property was very clean and we appreciated the availability of towels and linens, along with everything you would need to cook your own meals in the kitchen. We ran into one very minor issue and the property owners were incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We hope to be back next year!

Location

A beautiful second floor deck with views of the ocean was our favorite spot after a day at the beach. Comfortable beds too! It could been a bit cleaner upon arrival but other than that it was a great place.

Exceptional beach house with space and everything you could possibly need for an extended stay. Quiet area with great views from the upstairs deck. Beach is steps away with no crowds. Lots to do around the area for kids too. If you want a clean quiet place for a family vacation do not hesitate to book this property. Easy communication with the property manager. Thank you Laura and family for sharing your home

About the host

Hosted by Laura Daly

We are third generation caretakers of this beloved family home in Ferry Beach. Our grandfather built it for our grandmother with whom he shared a 52 year love affair. He knew even then that the salt air is good for the soul.

Our grandmother loved the water and was always happiest at the ocean. Growing up the four of us were spoiled with ready access to the beach and more importantly grandparents who nurtured in each of us a deep love of the ocean.

When our mothers inherited the property, it changed physically; with an extensive renovation completed in 2004 which expanded on the original footprint and after living there together for many years it has now transitioned to us for safekeeping.

Why they chose this property

Our home is filled with four generations of memories.

We’ve celebrated birthdays and weddings at the beach. Our dogs have run along the shore and swam in the water, less concerned with the temperature then their humans. We’ve had clambakes and eaten so many lobsters. We’ve walked along at low tide, collecting sea glass and sand dollars. We’ve visited during stormy weather, witnessing the ocean’s power. We’ve had quiet moments with just a few of us and more lively ones with extended family. We’ve had joyful days filled with laughter and devastatingly sad ones filled with tears.

Each new family member has felt the pull of our ocean. It’s magic. A house is just a house but when you fill it with decades of memories it becomes something more.

We are excited to share this special spot with you and hope you are able to create your own wonderful family memories here.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location!

You are close to everything at our beach house. You can get into downtown Portland in 20 minutes. Kennebunkport is also a short drive as is Ogunquit and the famous Marginal Way walk along the ocean. Hop on the Amtrak down to Boston to catch a Red Sox game. Or head north and visit one of the charming coastal towns or Acadia National Park. Feel like shopping? The Freeport outlets and the LL Bean flagship store are a short drive away. A few miles from your home away from home are family-friendly attractions like Old Orchard Beach, Funtown, Splashtown, and Saco Drive-In. Spend your days on a pristine beach where you have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the ocean even in the height of the summer or escape to any adventure you can dream up!
