What a cheerful cottage to spend some time on vacation! Waking up to the sounds of lobster boats and birds chirping after a decadent sunset on the deck and delicious local seafood dinner was everything we needed. Having the beach across the street, the little village and Audubon trail hikes were perfect! We will definitely return here to this slice of heaven. The host was available and easy to communicate with. The cottage was comfortable, cozy and some nice additions since we were last visiting two years ago.Can’t wait to return.

This is our 2nd time staying at this rental in Biddeford Pool.We are SO in love with this place! Our stay was very comfortable and cozy, a charming beachside cottage reminiscent of my childhood. No matter where I look out of our rental, it’s just beautiful! That wide view of the “Pool”, with the boats and rock formation's! Having the beach, a gorgeous beach, just a short walk across the street is conveniently perfect. We have found a few different paths in the woods by the beach off the parking lot, with awesome easily navigable paths to follow and explore.We love this place, we are looking forward to coming back year after year!Communication with Sarah, the host, is spot on. The cottage was clean, inviting and has everything we were looking for.

Absolutely wonderful views! Biddeford Pool is a nice, upscale community. We really appreciated being able to bring our dog and enjoyed walking on the beach, which is super close, and into 'town' for food at Goldthwaite's. Beach yoga during the week was a treat. Gorgeous views all around the peninsula. Easy and scenic drive to Kennebunkport and other nearby towns/beaches. Good communication - thank you, Sarah, for sharing your cottage with us! We would consider staying here again.

Carrie! What a wonderful review! Thank you!!! We are so pleased and grateful you enjoyed your stay and the cottage and Biddeford Pool. You and your family are definitely welcome to return anytime. It is a special spot, and I’m so happy you and your family including your dog had such a nice visit. It’s been the summer of crazy weather and wind, random heat and storms, and nor Easter which brings issues we constantly work on each day. We are happy you had such a nice comfortable stay! Thank you for leaving the place in great condition and helping us through some minor adjustments to keep you comfortable and with our linen policy. I’ll let Tracy know how much you enjoyed beach yoga! Please come back! 🙏

Incredible location. Easy access to the beach and views that are incomparable. The property needs work. There is no usable outdoor shower, as it is wide open to the parking area which she rents out to beachgoers. Spent the week explaining the parking process to people wandering the property to pay at the self serve station, who also used our “outdoor shower” to get sand off from the beach. People would actually pull in and honk for service. Tons of potential. The rental is on the 2nd floor and has a really beachy cottage feel. It’s a special space, and wonderful for the views and location, but the property needs some love.

I wasn’t familiar with this area before our stay. I have to say we will definitely be back! What a lovely and relaxing trip. The views cannot be beat, the beach a short walk across the street was wonderful. This is a pet friendly place, and we had such fun on our walks on the beach and cool people/pet friendly path with an interesting past. The village up the street is completely charming and convenient. Communication with the host was an A.

We had a wonderful time at this house! It’s perfectly situated by the beach, just a stone’s throw away from the charming village of Biddeford Pool. You can even grab some fresh, steamed lobster at the grocery store there. The house offers breathtaking views of the sunset and the bay, and there’s plenty of great outdoor space for relaxation. Parking is also a breeze. The host is incredibly friendly and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We even had a travel massage for our anniversary, and this house was the perfect venue for it!

We had a fantastic weekend stay in Biddeford Pool...our first time in the area. The house was very clean inside, property host Sarah was very responsive on a few questions we had leading up to stay and the view is spectacular! Short walk to the beach was easy to do with young kids/baby and the neighborhood is walkable for an evening stroll as well. We'll definitely be back!

A Perfect Coastal Getaway - Can’t Wait to Return!

I absolutely loved staying at Sarah's cottage! It perfectly embodies quintessential coastal Maine style, with gorgeous views, breathtaking sunsets, and the beach right across the street. You can even hear the soothing sound of the ocean at night! I had never been to Biddeford Pool before, and I’m so happy I found this listing. I fell in love with both the town and this charming home. Sarah was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout my stay. I definitely plan on returning!

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Overall, we were disappointed with our stay. There were positives, but given the price, we would have chosen another property had we known these issues in advance.The location is the biggest advantage. The beach is just across the street via a private road (about a 4–5 minute walk), so you don’t have to deal with the crowded public parking lot. The views of the inlet and sunsets from the deck are beautiful.Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn’t live up to the setting. The host allows the public to use the house’s open lot for paid parking, so there were constantly cars coming and going. We weren’t blocked in, but it made the property feel much less private than expected.The property also shows significant wear. The entire first floor is locked and boarded up, and the area beneath the deck is filled with old, rusted equipment. The Adirondack chairs pictured in their page were weathered, splintered, and one was broken.Inside, several advertised amenities weren’t functional. The oven and built-in microwave didn’t work, and the microwave still contained old food that smelled awful. Thankfully, there was a small countertop microwave. Sponges used and dirty. “Cleaning crew” looked nonexistent. Deck doors locked shut with the doorknob removed, so we couldn’t create any airflow, making the living area uncomfortably warm during our stay.The location is the only reason we’d recommend this property. Given the overall condition and price, we wouldn’t stay here again.
