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!

Weekend in Biddeford Pool

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!

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.

We are so grateful that we could spend our family summer vacation, this year, with our dog! To us, that was a plus. Going to Gilbert Boucher beach was only a few minutes walking, and that made it easy to go multiple times a day. It was great that we could walk our dog on the beach before 9AM and after 5PM, and go back again to do "boogie board" and play in the sand as often that we wanted! The cottage is also very near Goldwaith's store, it was fun to walk there in the evening to get an icecream, or going biking in the beautiful and quiet streets. We enjoyed the cottage's relaxing views on the Pool and the confortable beds.We really had a great time and would go back again.

Perfect Location

The 2-mile beach was a few steps from the front door. We brought our dog who enjoyed running the sands till 9am and every evening. Easy walk to the local market and eatery. Biddeford Pool has a couple walkable bird sanctuaries and the town itself is very picturesque. The rental is on the second floor (18 stairs) which gets you above the hedges for a great view of the sunsets. While the space was a great size, the seating was somewhat awkward. We mostly sat at the table in the dining area in the evening and did painting/beading. It was a relaxing 6 days, which is what we wanted.
