Fabulous Family Retreat

We had three generations in the house and couldn’t have been happier! The views from the house are spectacular. Plenty of space allowed privacy for everyone, as well as spacious areas to gather together. We’ll be back!

Fantastic beach vacation !!

We had a perfect stay! The house was clean and large enough for 8 adults and 3 small children. It was clear that the home was very well maintained with all the latest updates. Location was absolutely the best. Ocean views from everywhere, easy walk to the beach and a quick drive to Old Orchard Beach. Loved everything!!

Great Escape To Paradise

We were a family of 11 in total and the home was perfect for all.. It was an awesome spot for a private home and beach. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The owners were accessible for questions and responsive upon arrival. It's a great property if you want an escape to Paradise, book this property. We would definitely go back.. Thank you Donald and Angela. Kind regards, Tricia and family.

Peaceful and Private

We loved our stay on the beach in Saco. The house was practically on the water with endless views. There are 2 decks and additional outdoor space with chairs and a FirePit. Saco is centrally located for visits South to Biddeford Pool and Kennebunkport and North to Scarborough and Portland. There is no master bedroom with bath attached, but there are 4 bedrooms upstairs with 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms downstairs with another full bath. The upstairs is newly renovated and beautiful. Angela responded quickly to questions, Donald came out on a Sunday to replace our propane tank when we thought we might be running low. It was a terrific week.

Best place to stay in Maine!!

I could write a review each year we stay about how amazing it is here. Every year gets better and better for our family. The house is perfect and the renovations were amazing to see! Even with the weather not cooperating towards the end of our stay didnt matter because we truly enjoy the house so much. Our 5 year old and now 2 year old LOVE this house, beach, and all the memories we make each year. Angela and Donald are beyond helpful before your stay and during your stay. We already can't wait to come back for our 5th time!! Thank you again Angela and Donald for sharing your home with our family.

Beautiful beachfront home in lovely residential area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Angela and Don’s home. The recent renovations are gorgeous and there is plenty of space to house family and friends. Angela was very responsive to our questions. The only downside for us was the spotty WiFi. Highlights: Decks - amazing views, great furniture Yard with fire pit - really enjoyed using this space Ample parking - it was great to be able to accommodate our different schedules of who’s staying at the house and our kids who are all drivers Garage - super convenient for storage Nice neighbors Clean and not cluttered Great amenities Pet friendly
