Enjoy a perfect escape to Biddeford Pool and make yourself at home at this upscale coastal home boasting all of the best features for an unforgettable vacation. From the classic shake exterior to the spacious layout of the interior, no one will have trouble slipping into relaxation mode in no time. With a perfectly manicured private yard boasting a firepit and an expansive ground-floor deck, warm nights can be spent in the ocean breeze as the BBQ master of the group grills up a tasty meal on the private gas grill.

Not to mention, the high-speed WiFi and 75' 4K TV will be ready to assist in epic movie nights!

Sitting just three houses from a secluded dog-friendly beach and a short walk from a wooded path that leads to two miles of uninterrupted sand, you will be spending long days tanning and swimming in no time. Rinse off the sand in the heated outdoor shower back at home base and head into town to curb appetites at one of the many local restaurants that call Biddeford home just eight miles north.

Great house and location. Not so great communication.
The house was lovely and had every convenience. Plenty of room for people to gather in different spaces and relax. It would have been great for a multigenerational group. The location was wonderful for morning walk along the beach, even in chilly weather. Overall we had a nice time. The cons: The management company did not respond to my questions before arrival. Check-out was 10am on Sunday. Makes sense for busy summer season but since we were only coming for an off-season weekend I asked about late check out. Didn't get a response. Then at the last minute got an automated message offering late check out for an extra fee. That would have been nice to know ahead of time. Also, the house was not as clean as we would have liked. I did reach the management company and they said they would notify housekeeping, but that didn't help us at all.

Great Location for quick family celebration
We rented the house for an 80th Bday celebration. Location was perfect for everyone traveling and had meaning with past summer visits to Biddeford Pool, Fortunes Rocks and Saco. The house provided plenty of room with a nice big dining table which we were all able to sit around and share memories of the Birthday Wife/Mom/Grandmother. Kitchen was well stocked, ice maker was nice and probably even more important for summer getaways. Grandchildren enjoyed the ping pong and foosball table in the basement. While the communication with Vacasa LLC was easy (more then enough eMails & Text msgs), seems a bit disjoint with them wanting to manage everything thru their platform vs our rental thru VRBO. Makes me question the fees going to both Vacasa & VRBO
