Lovely place and gracious hosts

Phil and Brenda's place was a very nice place to stay while we were running the Maine Coast half marathon. The hosts thought of every detail and made us feel right at home. We would certainly stay here again when in the area!

Wonderful location

This was a terrific place to stay. The rooms were upstairs over the garage, so there was a nice sense of privacy, although there’s an adjoining door to the kitchen. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a queen bed, and two single beds in a separate room. Perfect for a family. The property is surrounded by woods and feels secluded, but is only a couple hundred yards from the campus of the University of New England. Great location to visit the university, and an easy 10 minute drive to Biddeford (or half and hour to Portland). Our hosts were lovely people, friendly and helpful, with a very sweet greyhound named Ollie. Terrific stay, highly recommended.

Little paradise

Thank you to Phil and Brenda to have shared with us their little paradise 😊 The place is well located in a quiet area, the courtyard is a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers, a terrasse and a jacuzzi and the appartment was perfect to accomodate a family of four and well decorated.

Perfect for a professional visiting UNE

I had a weekend course scheduled at UNE. I could not ask for better lodging. 100% perfect. Clean, beautiful, comfortable. Only 1/3 mi from the campus which was an easy walk (and a better choice since they have parking issues at UNE). I took an easy walk to the trail at Rachel Carson as well. Hot tub - early morning watching the dawn break - serene. Perfect hosts.

The perfect Maine retreat!

We loved our stay at Brenda and Phil's home! They were so welcoming to us and made every effort to make the stay comfortable and memorable for us. Just like many of the other reviews state, it truly is like staying at your grandparents house and the property was truly so beautiful and the perfect spot for us to stay as we explored so many gorgeous towns on Maine's southern coast. The rooms were so spacious and communication was seamless if we ever needed any extra supplies etc. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you Brenda and Phil for making our Maine trip truly unforgettable!

Amazing Hospitality!

We stayed here for 2 night (2 adults & 2 teens). Brenda and Phil were extremely accommodating! We were driving from Mystic and the weather forecast was horrible rain and storms. We left early to get ahead of it so I messaged and asked if we could check in early. Brenda got back to me very quickly and they were able to accommodate us. When we arrived Brenda greeted us and showed us around. She goes above and beyond! There were bagels, snacks, juice, candies, etc. left for us. She even asked if there was anything specific that my kids would eat. Everything was very clean and comfortable. It was perfect for what we needed. I would highly recommend!

Refined Serenity

We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was staying with Benda and Phil (and Ollie). From the remote setting, to the quiet upstairs apartment, this truly had everything we needed for 9 days. Brenda has decorated with the traveler in mind. Sleeping area was separate from the "living" area. We utilized the small desk to use our laptop, and overall had plenty of space to spread out. The window blind on remote control was great in the mornings, there were plenty of blankets, pillows, pool towels and even bath robes. The snacks they supplied were perfect to get our mornings started (bagels, cream cheese, muffins, jams, peanut butter, OJ.....). Brenda and Phil have full lives, and stay busy, but were always happy to take a break from their yard work to chat with us and to hear about our day and future travel plans. We try to get to this area at least once per year, and look forward to staying here again.

This was the perfect place for my husband and I. It sits back off the road surrounded by woods. It was very clean and the hosts were very accommodating. They provided snacks, water and soda. We enjoyed the hot tub. Located close to many beaches where we watched sunrise, sunset and moon rises. Highly recommend you should stay here!

I feel very lucky to have found this VRBO listing. Brenda and Phil were great hosts and the property is so nice and welcoming.The rooms are nicer than can be captured in the photos, and everything is rather luxurious and comfortable.The location is awesome, as it's right by UNE (I went swimming there; very nice pool and facility), and close enough to beaches, and a short drive from Kennebunk.I'd definitely stay here again, and would recommend to friends and family.

Biddeford Pool Reunion

I was thrilled to find this lovely rental when I was planning our trip to Biddeford Pool, Maine. The property was tucked away surrounded by a beautiful background of trees. It was easy to find, well situated, and very roomy for me and my 3 adult children. The unit was very clean and nicely appointed (very New England) and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay (the second bathroom was a bonus for sure!). Our hosts were wonderful - friendly, easy going and accommodating. Should I find myself returning to Biddeford Pool in the future, I would definitely rent this beautiful unit again.

Cozy hideaway close to beaches!

We had a fabulous visit. Our cozy room had a dedicated shower, coffee, snacks and comfortable seating. The room across was also great and roomy and had a fridge and additional snacks. Our hostess and host were delightful and so helpful. We felt every little detail had been addressed. The outside grounds were beautiful and the hot tub was so relaxing amidst the fruit trees and flowers. We will definitely stay here again. Although it was just my husband and myself we could have had 2 other adults with us in the opposite room which had a large couch and two twin beds. The beach was close by car and as we were visiting family it was a perfect cozy retreat for us.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda and Phil Johnson

Host profile image
We are an active retired couple who built our house to retire near our grandchildren. Our son is a well know ME architect and he designed a very custom home for his parents. Our home has been featured in Maine Home and Design's Ageless ME May 2018 issue.

Why they chose this property

We have a wonderful location on a wooded lot on a marsh which is a Rachel Carson bird sanctuary. It is only a short walk to the the peninsula of Hills Beach where you can see both the sunrise and sunset. We are also basically on the campus of UNE with its new tennis and pickle board courts just across the street. We are very close to Biddeford Pool and Kennebunkport and Portland.

What makes this property unique

You will love Brenda and Phil's Place because it is new and secluded in the Maine woods. However we are very close to everything on the Southern Coast of Maine. Our home was designed for Airbnb and VOB in mind so we have a separate entrance and you also have use of our washer dryer which is close to your suite and all equipment you need for a day at the beach.
