Charming Cottage Steps From Pine Pt Beach



Charming cottage located on a historic peninsula. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood while listening to the ocean waves. Walk to the 7 mile beach just steps away! This cottage has 2 bedrooms that can sleep 4. Enjoy sipping coffee on the one of two decks. The kitchen is sunny and well equipped. Washer and dryer is an added convenience. A quaint enclosed screened in porch with dinning table offers a setting just made for memories.The yard is large with plenty of room for BBQ and lawn games. Newly installed outdoor shower for added convenience.
My home is close to the airport, art and culture, Portland, with its great restaurants , museums and boutiques, parks, and great views is only a 15 minute drive. You’ll love my place because you can walk to the beach or the lobster pound, smell the salt air and the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of the neighborhood. Outdoor activities within walking distance include Kayaking, water sports, EasternTrail bicycle-hiking trail, bird sanctuary and fishing. Old Orchard Beach only 3 miles away!

Maine getaway

Highly recommend the area. Amazing food, beautiful views from restaurants in walking distance, and easy access to Rt 1 or beach. House is smaller than expected but for our needs worked well and was able to have a lot of outside fun there

Comfortable and cozy

My family stayed for two weeks in August. We had a great time. The house was the perfect size for us. It was also walking distance to the beach and several restaurants so we didn't have to do much driving. I worked remotely one week and the internet was excellent. Renee even made the extra effort to get a new modem that could handle higher speeds. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy Coastal Getaway

We really enjoyed our time in this picturesque little coastal neighborhood, and this homey little cottage brought us plenty of charm and atmosphere. Everything was quite enjoyable, though the beds and bathroom were a little on the smaller side. However, it wasn't too hard to readjust, and our host was very gracious and easygoing! She even extended our checkout time for us to make it easier to work around with our afternoon flight. A wonderful place to stay, and one which we'd gladly visit again sometime.

Perfect!

We had a lovely short stay at Renée’s cottage. We have a nearly 2 yr old and a 3.5 yr old and all the accommodations made it easy. And such a short stroll to the beach! My oldest loved the arcade just a short drive away. I can see how this would be the perfect place for a longer stay in the on-season when everything’s open. Thanks so much Renée!

We had such an enjoyable stay at this cottage. Even though it is small, it didn't feel small and had everything we needed. It was so cozy and cute. The short walk to the beach makes it over the top awesome. We would absolutely stay again!

Cute cottage, great location!

Our group of four women in our 30s had a great time staying at the Cottage. Renee was a very communicative host and made our stay very enjoyable. It was nice to have several places we could sit and hang out (living room, kitchen table, covered porch table, outdoor picnic table). The Cottage is located in a quiet part of Scarborough and a 5 minute walk to the beach. We drove just 10 minutes down the road and spent an afternoon at Old Orchard Beach which was fun (and busy) and it was really nice to come back to the Cottage for a relaxing evening. Renee let us borrow some beach chairs which was very generous of her. We would definitely stay there again.
