About this property

Charming Pine Point Cottage - 2 Blocks to Ocean!

Treat yourself to a tranquil northeast retreat by staying at this 3-bed, 1.5-bath vacation rental cottage! Backing up to lush marshes in Pine Point, this quaint Scarborough getaway boasts a bright sunroom, well-appointed sleeping accommodations, and an outdoor space with serene nature views. Spend your days on the beach less than 1,000 feet from the home, explore Old Orchard Beach Pier and Palace Playland, or venture to Portland to peruse the historic streets brimming with shops and restaurants!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Sunroom: Futon

Step inside the 1,000-square-foot interior exuding classic cottage ambiance with cozy furnishings and wood accents. Pile your belongings on the floor and kick back in the living room or sunroom after a long day of traveling!

Throughout the home, you'll find 2 flat-screen Smart TVs to satisfy all your entertainment needs! Additionally, you’ll have free wireless internet access to keep in touch with your loved ones while you’re away.

Cooking endeavors await, both on the gas grill and in the fully equipped kitchen! When all is prepped and ready, gather at the 8-person table for a quality meal.

As the sun sets, make your way to the backyard and share a bottle of wine on the lounge furniture. You're sure to feel at peace while admiring the sprawling salt marshlands and birds flying overhead!

When you return inside, get ready for bed in either the full or half bathroom, both stocked with fresh towels. Take solace in one of 3 bedrooms or the sunroom and drift off to sleep in preparation for another exciting day in Pine Point.

-- THE LOCATION --

Throw on your swimsuits and get ready for some fun under the sun as you stroll 2 short blocks to the beach! The property also offers 2 adult bikes, making it easy to get around the neighborhood. If you brought your boat along, launch it at the public ramp down the road and ride the waves into the horizon.

To spend the day at Old Orchard Beach Pier, simply hop on the trolley that passes through town. Not only can you get some Vitamin Sea at the beach, but you'll also be within steps of numerous waterfront restaurants and Palace Playland with thrill rides!

For even more amusements, make a splash in Funtown Splashtown's wave pool or bumper boats! Those who need a break from the water can head to Maine Indoor Karting where they can zip around and show off their speedy skills.

Maine's southern coast is dappled with lush fairways, including Prouts Neck Golf Course, Willowdale Golf Club, and Dunegrass Golf Club. Treat yourself to a day amid nature on the links, or get a taste of city life when you explore the historic streets of Portland less than half an hour away!

Amazing location close to the beach with a wildlife reserve for birds right behind it.

The house had everything we needed. The management team were very proactive and provided great instructions. In addition to being a great location and house for our family- it was easy to get to local attractions too be it downtown Portland, Kennebunkport, or the costal botanical gardens.

Panoramic views

My party adored our stay. Everything we needed was present in the kitchen. There was plenty of seating in the dining and living rooms. The bathrooms were ultra modern. The rear patio/seating areas were exceptional—comfortable and focusing on the lovely views. We would definitely stay again.

A weekend retreat!

Our stay at the Pine Point Cottage was to die for! Somehow even cuter in person than in the pictures, this cottage met and exceeded all of our needs! Stephanie was such a great host and even texted to see if i needed recommendations in the area. The view from the back deck is unbeatable and offered a lot of wildlife viewing opportunites. The location is perfect, close to the beach and you can walk to restaurants. We are already looking forward to coming back!

A gem

We loved our stay. Host was available and very helpful, even left a delicious basket of goodies for us. Kitchen had everything we needed. Easy little walk to the beach. There's no air conditioning, but we didn't need it at all during our stay. Charming beach house. I'd definitely go back.

Great location, wonderful cottage

We had a great time staying at this cute little cottage in Pine Point. It was comfortable and well managed. I did message the owner about some mildew around the washer and at the bottom of the shower curtain and didnt hear back, so I was a little disappointed in that. I'd expect a little better communication considering we paid a premium for this place during the week of July 4th.

Great stay for adults, teens and preteens

The location is fabulous – just a short walk to a nice, clean beach. The marsh views and back yard are wonderful, as described in the listing. The cottage itself was more challenging for our group size and family structure, which consists of 6 adults and 3 children including a toddler. The dining table had room for 6 people (not 8), so we couldn't all sit together for meals. Although the upstairs bedrooms accommodated 6 people plus the toddler in a folding crib, 2 people had to sleep downstairs. Sleeping options on first floor were a fold-out couch (twin size) in the living room and a futon in the sunroom. Neither of those two rooms have window curtains; thus, no privacy or protection from bright morning light. A final challenge for our particular group was that the doors, stairway and general indoor area were not possible to "baby proof." Overall, a great choice for a smaller group and those without young children.

Perfect stay away from the big city!

We rented this property for an anniversary trip and it perfectly fit our needs and desires. We were greeted by a sweet basket and card from our hosts and a cozy home all to ourselves. It was a convenient short drive into Portland and a short walk or bike to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Quiet getaway

Lovely cottage with charming details. Appreciate the welcome bag with lots of goodies! The location was perfect, short walk to Scarborough Beach which is miles long. Also close to the Eastern Trail which is great for walking or biking. The backyard was also charming for watching the sunset. Also, recommend for dinner Pine Point Grill and Nonesuch River Brewing. Very good! This cottage was well equipped and a great getaway.

Cute cottage!

Perfect location to relax. Pictures on the listing are accurate. Beach is super close and house is walkable to good restaurants. Hosts were very welcoming, house was clean and well equipped. Bring a fan or two if forecast is going to be hot. The house cools at night with the sea breeze but it takes time to cool off if you’ve been out and closed things up while gone. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Perfect for us

Perfect for us! Such a cute cottage house with a perfect amount of space to hang out and visit with friends and family. We came to Scarborough for a wedding weekend and this house was just what we needed. We found a very thoughtful welcome basket in the refrigerator with welcome goodies. The backyard is a peaceful beautiful spot with deck and chairs, party lights and sweet view. The online pictures are an excellent representation of the house and yard. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely use this house again.

Charming, All the comforts of home!

My family and I rented the Nonesuch Cottage and it was great! We had my parents, my husband and I, and my two kids aged 7 and 5 yo. The cottage has a great open concept downstairs, and laundry and large full bath upstairs. Great to have 1.5 baths. The backyard is so charming, and a beautiful view of the marsh. Extremely short walk to the beach and seafood shops. We appreciated the red wagon and beach chairs! My kids enjoyed playing in the sunroom. Thanks for wonderful memories!

Wonderful stay!

My family and I enjoyed this beach home so much! My parents, my husband and I, and my two children (5 and 7) were quite comfortable. Very charming, and importantly all the comforts of home! My kids were happy to have the red wagon to pull to the beach. There’s a fire pit and a beautiful out door patio, and grill outside. We appreciated the welcome basket and binder of nearby activities/food etc. Wonderful week, you won’t be disappointed!!

Family Get Away

This small but cozy cottage was wonderful for a long weekend away for our family of three adult couples. The cottage was spotless. The kitchen and the baths in this cottage have been beautifully renovated. All the beds are comfortable; a rare find! The cottage is a two block walk from a lovely beach which we frequently visited. We were greeted with a sweet basket of goodies, and our host promptly answered the one question we had. Recommended!

This place has everything your own home provides. It was extremely clean. The kids loved the swing and we had fun making s’mores over the fire. Beach chairs and boogey boards are there for your use.
