The outside staircase is a bit sketchy-looking, but don’t let it fool you. The apartment is lovely, seems recently renovated and is very well-equipped for cooking. Beautiful Pine Point Beach is an easy two-block walk and there are a couple good restaurants within easy driving distance even off-season.

This was my second time staying at Serene Pine Point Escape. It's within walking distance to the beach in a safe and quiet area of Maine. The marsh view is absolutely stunning And being able to bring the family dog is a major plus. The back yard marsh side is perfect for being outside with a dog and or bird watching...The bedroom is comfortable and clean. We slept well and felt safe and cozy. The kitchen is stocked with all the necessities for cooking and cleaning. And bathroom was clean and cozy for relaxing.There are a fair amount of steps to get to the second level so that is the only thing to mention for older people or families or anyone with mobility problems. Thank you! From 72 & 42 family dog/s

It was very comfortable and neighbors were friendly and quiet!I appreciated the extras in the cabinets:kitchen supplies and coffee and tea until I was able to get to the storeThe ride over was snowy and slow so it was nice not to run out for those items!The only suggestion I would make is the comforter had a bit of a smell and maybe could use a wash? I took it off the bed and used the amazing blanket!

Place was very clean and well decorated. I had some minor concern about the floorboards being uneven under the laminate- this is a possible trip hazard. But the neighborhood was relatively quiet and I loved the view from the porch.

Last minute couple of days on the beach

The overall experience here was great. Justina was easy to communicate with. Check in process was easy, location is phenomenal extremely close to the beach, Less Than 3 minutes, and a short walk, less than 1 minute, from multiple restaurants / a convenience store It's definitely a small apartment more suited for 2 to 4 adults, looking to have a weekend to themselves with a place to crash while they take in the surrounding area, than it was for my family of five with three small kids but we made it work. I'd recommend renting here to anybody
