Fantastic location! Loved listening to the waves crashing against the rocks and the sunrises were amazing. House was very clean and had everything we needed.
I will be returning to bliss next year. Can’t wait.

Beautiful and relaxing. This home has anything you could need.
Lovely, cozy home. Nice grassy yard with a beautiful view of the ocean. You can see the light house from the back yard. She had binoculars (which we used a lot) and a telescope. The kayaks were great as well as fishing gear. Inside was comfy. Plenty of towels, kitchen supplies as well as seasonings etc. Most of the time we did not need the airconditioner because of the breeze. Sleep number bed in the upstairs master bed as well as a beautiful view. I will say if you like a dark bedroom do not pick the upstairs bedroom for sleeping. The sun rises right in the big picture window and shines right on your bed. I brought a sleep mask but really it makes you get moving earlier to enjoy a longer day. The only reason for the four star is....the rocks. You go down the steps directly onto big rocks which are on the hill down to the beach. You have to try and balance on to get down to the water. The rocks aren't real slippery but can move out from under you (the seaweed is super slippery, don't walk on that) This was very difficult for my mother and me. Maine has a beautiful rocky coast as expected and the low and high tides are amazing (2 low tides a day). I just wish there was maybe some sort of short decking/steps over the rocks to get down the hill so our whole family could have spent time on the beach together. They did find little crabs, clams, snails and a bit of sea glass. Still it was beautiful and very relaxing. Brochures are in the house for cool places to visits. You will not be disappointed. Cinde the owner was great to work with and answered and concerns or questions we had. We would definitely go back.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Thanks for the review Jullie! I just wanted to let you know that the state and town will not allow any alterations to the waterfront, so a platform will never be allowed. The rocks that are at the bottom of the stairway are there because of the last hurricane we had. Heavy equipment is not allowed in the water. I hope you and your mom made it to Long Sands Beach!
Thanks
Cinde
I can’t write enough amazing things are this property and overall experience. The house was so cozy, amazing view super relaxing and right in the area if you want to do alot you can. The owner was quick with replies to any questions we had. We will be back ;)
This sweet little cottage has everything you need for a fun escape to the coast of Maine. It was clean, comfortable, and very inviting. The view of Nubble Light was spectacular especially at sunrise. It’s in a perfect location with two beautiful beaches nearby for swimming and surfing. You can also just sit in the backyard and watch the lobster boats cruise by. It truly has the best options for a fun and relaxing vacation for the entire family.
Cinde is the real deal. Her home is comfortable and clean and the location cannot be beat!

Awesome Beach Front Property
Fantastic property, great place to unwind. The rocky beach was perfect for finding sea treasures. We spent many moments on the beach. We also got good use out of the full size table on the porch eating and play cards. A perfect spot to stay on the coast of Maine!

Wonderful Family Vacation
Spent a fantastic week at this beautiful home. Breathtaking views, comfortable beds, furniture. Everything you would need provided, especially the kitchen. Our friends who live in York Beach were amazed, as we were, at this beautiful place. Have already booked for next year.

Three Cs - Charming, Cozy, and Clean
We went for the long Thanksgiving week-end, 2017. Didn't need to bring all the cooking gear that we did, as the kitchen is so very well equipped and the pantry was over-stocked. I can't say enough about this wonderful rental. We were right on the beach with fantastic views from the back porch. So many thoughtful details, including bathrobes, plush pillows and comfortable beds, and personal touches. I must add that having traveled back and forth across country, I have many times used VRBO and have NEVER been disappointed.

Perfect coastal Maine vacation
This meticulously maintained and well appointed house is 10 yards from the ocean, walking distance to Long Sands Beach with great views of the water/Nubble Light.......not a cottage but a year round home that can't be beat for a vacationing couple(s) or family up to 6.

If I could give it MORE stars, I would!
My 86-year-old Dad and I spent the week before Father's Day at "Club 13" and we were both enchanted by it! Wonderful floor plan, comfortable and roomy, well-stocked with everything! The master bedroom and Sleep Numbered bed were terrific, as was falling asleep to the sound of the surf. If you like to sleep a little later, I'd recommend bringing a sleep mask with you, as the sunrise is very bright by 5 a.m.
The air conditioners were awesome, there are TV's in every room, the outdoor shower was a treat! One night, we had cocktails and played a game of Scrabble on the deck.
In addition to visiting a couple of the great restaurants and shopping in the area, we saw a spectacular production of "Mamma Mia" at the Ogunquit Playhouse - one of the most enjoyable shows we've seen in years!
We very highly recommend this rental home and we're talking about returning to it next year.

Most Wonderful Vacation Rental Ever
My husband and I have been doing vacation rentals (vs hotels) for many years now. We have stayed in some really wonderful places but 13 Lobster Cove Rd is by far the best we ever had the good fortune to rent! The house is so charming, roomy, and immaculate. The views from the sunroom and master bedroom are phenomenal! The ocean is literally right in your backyard. Cinde left us wanting for nothing--and I mean nothing--as this house had everything we could ever think of--or forget--that we might need or want. I cannot say enough about how well appointed this house is--it was like moving into my own house--fully stocked! The location is a great jumping off point for a quick trip to Perkins Cove or Kennebunkport, Portsmouth NH or Kittery and close to Portland and Freeport up the highway. We had such a wonderful vacation thanks to great weather but most of all this fabulous house!!!

Property was well maintained and the home was beautiful.
The pictures do not do the place justice. The views from the home and property are breathtaking because the ocean is right there in front of you. They have everything you need to have a great vacation. The home was clean and comfortable like a home away from home. The owners were very helpful and available to answer any and all questions we had regarding our stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place right on the ocean. We went to a play at the Ogunquit Theatre and went to Bintlffs for a wonderful dinner. Very enjoyable!

Breathtaking views of sunrises &Nubble Lighthouse.
This property is fantastic. Beautifully appointed. Makes you feel like you are home! Cliff walks, sunrises, having lunch just feet away from the ocean make this location very special. Fishing and kayaking from your front steps leading to the waters edge is easy. Beds were very comfortable. My wife loved the outdoor shower! We will definitely make this an annual event!

About the host
Hosted by Cinde Vandette
I love the lake, ocean and staying active outdoors. On the weekends you will find me in NH boating on the lake or sitting by the ocean in Maine reading a book.( not really, I try to sit, but I am usually kayaking, biking or walking by the water) When I am not on or near the water I spend lots of time in the kitchen cooking and trying new healthy recipes using fresh fish and vegetables. My husband Joe and I love to travel to destinations that have beautiful scenery that can be viewed on the road using a motorcycle or bicycle or places that we can hike a mountain. Our favorite vacations have been the ones we travelled with our whole family, which includes our 3 children.
