About this property
Whole House Rental at Biddeford Pool Steps to the Beach! Rare opening: 8/26-9/2
It's rare that there is a summer week open at our home! Take advantage of someone's clerical error! This prime week won't last long.
This large and comfortably furnished year-round home built by our family is located at the end of a dead-end, dirt road which goes to the sandy beach. There are sweeping ocean views from the upper deck which runs the length of the house. A large, private yard surrounds the house, and the beach is just a few steps away.
2700 sf with a bedroom/bath upstairs, open concept living/dining/kitchen. The kitchen has a dishwasher, cooktop stove, and fridge.
Downstairs are three bedrooms: 1 Queen, 1 Full, a Twin (2 beds), and a Queen Futon in the large bonus room. Full bath up and down. Bonus downstairs. All flooring was updated downstairs in 2023.
High-speed wifi, cable, and DVD players with TVs up and down. Warm water outdoor shower. Lots of beach toys and chairs are provided. Outdoor gas grill.
➡️ Linens are not provided. Linen service is available.
The only thing between the house and the beach is a dirt parking lot and it is a quick walk across the drive to the mile-and-a-half sandy beach.

There are no words to describe staying at the cottage. My Husband and I definitely want to go back :-)

Great exterior location, interior had mildew issues
Location of the property was excellent. The beach proximity was wonderful. Rental was easily completed with a local rental agency. Owner accommodated a last minute rental.
Interior of the beach house was quaint in decor, but carpeting was very dated. The lower level was a partial walkout basement. The lower level had a strong mildew smell. I found a dehumidifier in the lower level living area. The carpet on the twin bedroom was very damp. After two night stay and use of downstairs bath/ shower it was evident a slow leak was between the common wall of the bedroom and shower wall. I texted the owner directly as we had to depart before the rental company was open to notify of this concern. I have not received any text from the owner as I felt she should be aware of this and have it investigated for future guests.

I am so sorry that the downstairs seemed uncomfortable for you. I had the rental agent check the bedroom you mentioned and they did not feel any dampness. I'm not sure why it would have felt so damp, but subsequent tenants did not report a problem. Thank you for staying at our home and we will look at making some updates this coming year.
One of the loveliest spots in Biddeford Pool! This is an older well-loved home with lots of room. The view is unbeatable (we watched a seal play in the surf for an hour one morning!) And the location is wonderful. Private, quiet, a bird-lover's delight! An easy walk to the beach or the village. The cottage was well-furnished with everything you could need and was very clean.

Stunning view, right on the beach!
The home was clean, the layout is open and it’s right on the beach! The back porch is by far the best feature with a private backyard for grilling and yard games. Can’t wait to come back next summer!

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Vinal
Hello and welcome to Marion's Gray Gull. My parents, Marion and Dana built this house in 1963. Nearly all of the maintenance on the property is done by my father and myself. We moved to NC in 2010 and now only spend two weeks a year here.
Why they chose this property
My mother grew up spending her summers at Biddeford Pool and her parents retired there. It only made sense to build a larger house closer to the beach.
What makes this property unique
The unique place that is Biddeford Pool, the beach and the amazing place that is Maine!
