About this property

Walk to beach, quiet neighborhood, dog friendly, available year round

Beautiful, new house located in Hills Beach. Steps to water and beach. Hills Beach is in the middle of everything that makes summer in Maine special, but enough off the beaten path to make it quiet and relaxing. It is close to the excitement of Old Orchard Beach, and the many fun activities along Route 1 in Saco, but quietly removed from the main strip. It is truly a gem, convenient to any amenities or activities a family could want, but walking distance from uncrowded sandy beaches. It is a surfer's and fisherman's paradise, or the perfect place for a classic family vacation.

Perfect for a fall getaway!

Nestled in a small and cute neighborhood minutes walk to a local dog-friendly beach! The house is very well maintained and very tastefully decorated. The hosts made sure to have have everything available and reached out a few times to be sure everything was fine. They thought of everything from towels and sheets to dedicated dog towels, leashes and poop bags! I even saw a dog cage in the garage if you can't pack your own. This is a gem! We hope to be able to visit again one day!

Delightful!

The house is more spacious than I anticipated, and it had a lovely view of the ocean, which I was not expecting. It is well equipped, and thoughtfully decorated. It was much nicer than other seacoast cottages we have rented. We would definitely stay again!

Great location

This place was a great location walking distance to basically a private beach. And a 30 min drive to additional beautiful places. This place would be great for older kiddos. Wasn’t the most ideal for our babies…. Lots of stairs and close to a somewhat busy street. Liz was fabulous she addressed every issue or questions we had in a timely pleasant manner. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed all this space had to offer.

A Breeze

Arrangements from start to finish were a breeze. Liz(homeowner) could not have been more attentive even inquiring if we needed heat on a cool day. Instructions were emailed ahead. Travel sites were outlined in a brochure. A quiet restful experience for a 3 year old to an 81 year old; the breeze from the deck and master BR was a bonus!

Quick July weekend trip

Had a great time for 6 of us, a couple with grandparents and 2 kids. Very spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. The description is a bit coy as we were immediately impressed with the property and surrounding area. Would recommend to others but almost want to selfishly keep it a secret to make a return visit easier.

Maine get a way

This was our second year vacationing to Maine. It did not disappoint. The host was incredibly helpful and available if we had questions. The home is incredibly clean and organized. We appreciated the children’s books they had as we love reading to our children before bedtime. The AC came in handy as it was pretty warm a couple days we were there. We had a wonderful time.

Great Southern Maine Spot

Perfect hub for visiting the southern coast. The house is really well set up for a family visit with plenty of room to hang out together or get some privacy. This was our second stay and hopefully not our last. Liz was great with communication and everything was stress free. Thanks

A dream of a getaway during these unsettling times

The house was just perfect for our needs. Loved the private little beach. It was our first family trip to Maine,& it more than met everyone’s expectations. Liz & John were wonderful hosts,& they made everything think so easy with a detailed manual with all the info we needed at our fingertips. Thank you so much!!

Beautiful Home with thoughtful touches all around

Our family of 5 (including my 81 year old MIL and 2 children, ages 9 and 7) and dogs brought in the New Year in at this beautiful house by the ocean. Liz was in touch from the moment we booked and John was "johnny-on-the-spot" with the snowblower and shoveling during a snowstorm. We were "stuck" indoors during the storm and there was no shortage of games to play and books to read. The house is immaculate in its cleanliness, and has so many beautiful finishing touches all over. The house is well stocked with spices, cleaning products, kitchen gadgets and utilities. Liz and John were nice enough to have thoughtful touches of the holiday all over the house. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of sheets and towels available. The kids did not want to leave. We will definitely visit again in summer!

Great house, Great area!

We had a great stay in Hill's Beach. The house was lovely (exactly as pictured) and a short walk to a quiet beach great for kids (our 2.5 yr old had no problem doing the short walk - we didn't need a stroller all week). An ice cream truck even drove by a few days we were there. The house had everything we needed including a kitchen with every possible appliance, a washer & dryer and a million towels. The location was close to everything you require in Maine - lobster rolls & ice cream within a few minutes drive and a lot of local activities - Freeport was ~45 minutes (outlets and a pilgrimage to Maine Beer Company), Kennebunkport was only 10 minutes and Biddeford/Saco had activities as well (highly suggest Sweetcream Dairy ice cream). There's even more we could hit up for future visits. Liz was very attentive to anything we needed (which honestly the house was easily the most well equipped vacation rental we ever stayed in so we didn't need much else!). The bedrooms are located on different floors which was great for having our own space (and bathrooms) - just a head's up if you have more rambunctious kids that may have issues with the stairs/being on a different floor. Can't wait to stay again!
