Memorial Day Weekend 2023

This house is amazing; has absolutely everything you could ever need. I did not want to leave and can’t wait to book again. Biddeford Pool is close to Saco and OOB; it’s nice and quiet and quaint. Such an amazing neighborhood. I feel honored to have experienced what the locals call their home; truly a slice of heaven.

Great Location!

We loved the location so much! We were looking for a place that fit my family and in-laws that was quiet yet close to the beach. The Biddeford Pools was perfect. The listing states the house is one block away but it was even closer than expected. My teens loved the use of the bikes. Easy to walk beach and we barely saw anyone there. the trail walk to the lighthouse was nice and a beautiful view. We ordered a cooked lobster dinner from the quant grocery store and enjoyed our time. It was cold and rainy but the fireplace made it feel warm and inviting. The owner was awesome with communication and feedback and we enjoyed our time.

Great location!

We have a really nice time visiting Biddeford Pool. The location of the cottage is great - easy biking and close by to beaches. We were disappointed regarding the cleanliness of the cottage unfortunately. All the rugs had stains on them, furniture was very worn and showed many stains as well. Bathroom drawers were dirty, just overall cleanliness was really disappointing for a rental at this price point. In addition having to show up with kiddos at night and have to make your own beds and then have to do all the laundry before leaving, again for this price point should be included in the cleaning costs.

I wanted to love this property but I could not

I travel alot and so far I have had great success finding rentals by reading reviews. This is the first time that I failed. The property had the perfect location, an absolutely beautiful back yard. Just a few minutes walk from the ocean, amazing!!!!! When entering the house it seemed to be perfect, the sweetest little beach house. After a few minutes we realized the photos on line were very old. The furniture was in tough shape due to filth. Sand & food, crumbs under the couch cushions, stains on the carpets, strong urine smell from the carpet in the front room. The dining rooms beautiful periwinkle & white carpet was only white on the backside. The top of the carpet was brown due to extreme filth. When looking for fresh soap options we discovered a slimey substance in the first floor bathroom vanity. I messaged the owner and he explained that he had a new cleaner who had clearly failed. I would have agreed but the filth we experienced was long term neglect. It was not just a lazy or inept cleaning person. We stayed in spite of this even though I never slept through one night here. The sheets on my bed had multiple stains which made me question whether the bed had been changed at all. The comforter was stained in multiple places. Upon check out we needed to strip the beds, only to discover urine stained mattress covers on two of the 4 beds. GROSS!!!!!!! I have never written a negative review but this place needs major cleaning!!!!!

Sisters & daughters weekend getaway

We chose the perfect weekend getaway house for our sister and daughter weekend.. this house is so cute, and just a short walk to the beach. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room. You will not be disappointed, we look forward to staying here again next year.

Nice location!

We loved the location of this property. We also really liked the owner and being able to contact him if we had any issues. Our kids (2 and 5) really enjoyed the property, especially the swing set in the back that we received permission to use. Overall we had a great time, and made some awesome memories!

Great place.

We liked this house as it had everything we needed for 6 of us. The only thing that was disappointing was we had to wash and dry all of the towels and bedding before we left which left us not having a relaxing morning on our last day. Chris has a great place. I would go back.

Can I go back now?

My wife and I wanted to attend Christmas Prelude in Kennebunkport. There was no lodging available that wasn't astronomically priced. I found Chris's house and noticed it was only a 20 minute drive to all the activities. Boy did we find a gem! About as fantastic as it gets for a rental. Great communication, super clean, fully stocked kitchen, and a wood burning fireplace! Short walk to both a rock and a sand beach. Based on how great of a time we had in the winter, I can only imagine how much fun this place would be in the summer! Make sure you eat at The Lost Fire, you wont regret it. Can we go back now? Please?
