About this property

One Mile From Biddeford Pool Beaches - Coastal Bluff Nature Preserve

****Please note: For July and August property available for weekly rentals only. Thank you for understanding****
Luxury 6-bedroom, 4-bath Home In Extraordinary Private Setting
This beautiful contemporary colonial home is less than one mile -- less than a 20 minute walk-- to the gorgeous beaches of Biddeford Pool. Located on a 3.5 acre parcel at the end of a private road and surrounded by a nature preserve, this property is exceptionally private and pristine. The house is elevated on a craggy coastal bluff. A glassed-in front porch is a terrific place to enjoy the morning sun, and a large open deck is a perfect gathering spot for sunning, outdoor grilling and viewing sunsets over the marsh. The hilltop setting and nearby ocean produce coastal breezes and you can often hear the surf. When not in the mood for the beach, guests can enjoy a large, above ground pool attached to the back deck.
The first floor features a gourmet kitchen, a spacious dining room, and a double parlor living room with double patio doors leading to a large, open deck. One of the living rooms, separated by French doors, includes a dart board, Ms. Pac Man/Galaxian arcade game and card table, but can also be utilized as a bedroom for those choosing to stay on the first floor. A first floor bath features a large custom shower with granite pebble floor located near the entrance, a perfect place to rinse off after a day on the beach.
Six large bedrooms are located on the upper floors. The second floor features three bedrooms, two of which share a common bath. The master has a private bath. Three bedrooms on the third floor share a full bath. The five king and one queen size beds are all exceptionally comfortable with individually wrapped coils and quality linens (linen service is provided, but guests need to make up their beds on arrival). If the ocean breezes don’t keep you cool enough, the central AC on the upper floors will!
The first floor entry, sunroom, kitchen and dining rooms have custom tile floors, while the living room is oak. All stairs, catwalks and bedrooms have beautiful blond maple floors with area rugs spread throughout. The large palladium window and cathedral ceiling above the foyer allows plenty of light to shine on a two-story, central staircase, while framing views of the front lawn from the catwalk. There are five TVs, high speed Wi-Fi and all new appliances. There is plenty of parking along the circular driveway and enough room for a boat or an RV. The lawn area is approximately one acre with plenty of flat, wide open space. The back porch can be accessed from a handicap accessible ramp. It is quiet and peaceful in the absence of any traffic noise or light pollution. This is a great place for stargazing. Portland is less than 30 minutes away and Kennebunkport is just a 15 minute drive.
****Please note for July/ August, Saturday to Saturday weekly renters only****
**At this time, not available for student rentals for school year**

Perfect family gathering place!

Beautiful, spacious in a quiet, private setting, the perfect place for us to visit with our adult children and their families during our vacation. Thoughtfully equipped kitchen provided everything we needed for a food-filled memorial weekend stay. Jeff was an attentive host and took note of a few concerns we had and made it right. Comfy beds, quiet rooms, provided everyone with plenty of privacy for much needed naps. Thank you for providing the perfect setting for our stay where we built some lasting memories!

The house was perfect for our weekend away with cousins. There was plenty of room for 9 of us to be comfortable. The location was great as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. We would definitely consider returning in the future!

Great house for multiple families!

This was the perfect house for us! We traveled from Ohio for our nephew's wedding, the 4 full baths were a blessing! The house is beautifully decorated and spacious. We loved sitting around the big kitchen table. Jeff was very easly reached and answered any questions.

Great Family Property

We had a large group for my Mom’s 80th birthday celebration. The house was clean, open layout, plenty of space and the air conditioning was a life saver on the upper bedroom floors as it was in the 90s and humid most of the week. The amenities were as listed, the deck was large with two tables, the pool was cool, crystal clear and refreshing. Jeff was a pleasure to work with, flexible, communicative, timely and accommodating. I highly recommend this beautiful home for a family or group gathering.

A nice house, on a private lot in a quiet setting

This is a nice, spacious house on a large private lot on a very quiet, dead-end road. There were 7 adults and 2 infants during our stay, the house had more than enough room for all of us, with room to spare. We never felt crowded here. The pool was a very welcome amenity, and the ping pong table provided several hours of fun. We very much enjoyed the nearby beach, Fortunes Rocks. Just a note that the prices have definitely increased at the beaches since the information currently provided at the house was printed. Jeff is a good host. Only complaints are that the floors were not very clean (no actual debris or anything, but walking around for a few hours and your feet would be just about black) and, the water was a little yellow the entire week we were there. These were relatively minor things for us . Besides that, everything here was great. We would definitely stay again.

Filthy kitchen broken closets

The kitchen was the absolute filthiest I’ve ever seen. The sponge, by the sink was nearly black with muck and grime, I wouldn’t have used it to clean up after my dog! The oven had not been cleaned in years and the broiler unit was hanging loose. The interior of the cabinets were soiled and had mouse droppings, again, not cleaned out properly in years. There was even a greasy foul pan in one of them. We were even greeted by a dead cockroach, what a bonus. Jeff offered a $500 refund , then refused to pay it, actually accused me of trying to get money out of him. If we hadn’t planned a private chef to come in, we’d have moved to a hotel. I have pictures to back all of this up, wish I could post them.

House with potential

The house looked pristine online. When we arrived the outside of the house needed cleaning. It's a great, spacious house, but the general maintenance of wear and tear was sorely lacking. Some of the beds did not have mattress covers so when the sheets were removed at the end of out stay stains were found on some those mattresses. There were broken window shades, a torn chair and a torn shower curtain and a dirty cloth shower curtain. I will commend the owner on his quick response to the septic system backing up into the house. He had the plumber at the house almost instantly. He lives 2 hours away and came over and cleaned up the house while we were out for the day. Having 35 years experience with septic systems I think this system at least needs an evaluation by a septic company as something is surely wrong there. This house as great potential, but needs a lot of attention to detail. We had a great vacation, but concluded we would not rent this house again as it is not up to our standards.

Wonderful vacation spot

My wife had her 30th roaring 20’s birthday party in October and we had a wonderful time. Plenty of room for people. In a nice remote area and plenty of yard to play yard games and even have a cook out party. Definitely will be going back in the summer to use the pool! 10/10 stars.

Perfect escape

This property was perfect for us - secluded and quiet but within 5-10 minutes of all conveniences. Great local breweries, lobster shacks, and local ice cream made everyone in the family happy. And the quick (15-30 min) rides to Kennebunkport and Portland allowed us to explore the beautiful region. And the house itself was very clean which was important to us. Thanks Jeff!

Our stay in Jeff’s house was fantastic. We had a large group and everybody had fun. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. The layout of the ground floor was perfect for a large group with the living room, the ping pong table area, the kitchen and the dining room.

Family reunion in Maine

We had 12 family members staying on the property and several others who either lived or were staying nearby. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the week. The new pool was a pleasant surprise and the little kids, and big ones too, had a blast! The fridge was not working well when we first arrived, and discovered the bath tubs weren’t draining, but Jeff had a plumber and another fridge out there right away. All was good the rest of the week. The location was wonderful, and everyone enjoyed keeping an eye on the local porcupine family and the visiting lynx who would sun himself, or herself on the rocks off the deck. The only criticism I would include was that we weren’t certain the house had been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. The floor still needed sweeping and the trash was still in the kitchen. A new stove would be a nice change in the kitchen, although this one worked. My extended family is already asking if we can do this again in the same location. Thanks Jeff for making sure we had a wonderful experience.
