About this property
Heaven on the Beach!
Rare rental opportunities available for this cozy three story home full of character and history on the beach in Biddeford Pool. Spacious lot with lush gardens and natural landscaping, situated on a 2.5 mile private, hotel-free sand beach with private steps to the beach and no houses behind the property. Wraparound window seats on the second and third floors provide an excellent place to enjoy sunrise over the ocean as well as sunsets over the harbor; the second-floor balcony and the Jacuzzi tub in the third-floor master bath are also perfect for savoring the sun's last rays. Hand feed three tamed pet seagulls from the third-floor balcony overlooking the ocean, enjoy lobster rolls at the picnic table or on the deck atop the sea wall, or enjoy a good book in one of two hammocks by the deck. Prepare and enjoy a beach-side barbecue with the gas grill, placed in a dugout to protect your food from wind and sand. Bikes and ample beach gear available for days filled with sunshine and fun, and family fun nights are at hand with a large selection of games, toys, videos, and DVDs at your disposal. The small but well-equipped kitchen with new IKEA cabinets has everything you need for your seafood feasts as well as a lovely afternoon and evening view of the beach. Broadband cable and wireless internet available for business needs, trip planning, etc as well. Roku TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu provided for your entertainment.

About the host

Why they chose this property
The Shack was the original building on the mile stretch between Biddeford Pool and the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built as a 20x20 bird hunting shack in 1865, later upgraded to include a basement, second floor, balcony, and glassed in front rooms with wraparound benches overlooking the beach. The original structure is still preserved within the middle floor to include the external shingles, original interior, and bunk room. The property has been lovingly owned and cared for by our family since 1907.
Unlike many properties, it is not sparsely furnished with limited amenities. It's fully furnished and decorated, to include family photos dating back to the early 1900s, hunting decoys, Maine kitsch, wall art, and everything you need to relax and enjoy a comfortable family vacation in a quaint, cozy, and historic setting.
