We had an amazing stay. The house was clean, the host left the best brownies on our arrival, and we were in close proximity to everything we wanted to see. The hosts communicated very well and quickly with us. Would recommend and stay again!

Amazing Stay in Every Way

We were not from the area, but the minute we booked Linda answered all the questions we had until the minute we left. The house was beautiful, fully equipped with everything we needed and the owners were attentive to anything we needed at any point. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend to stay. Highly recommend this house and owners to stay for your next trip!

Amazing home in Saco near beaches

Wonderful property owned by kind hosts. The home is newer and extremely clean. My family of 4 with 2 kids under 5 found everything we needed here. There are nice touches like a wagon, bikes, and a pass to Ferry Beach State park. Note that the listing said 4 bedrooms at the time I booked it; there are 3 and a pull out couch in the living room which still worked well for us.

Thank you for the kind review Stephanie! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and would be honored to host you all again anytime. Thank for you making me aware of the VRBO bedroom error. When I listed the sleeper sofa it placed it as an extra bedroom in error, which has since been corrected. Thanks again and enjoy the remaining days of summer together. Be well!

Linda and her husband were incredibly kind and accommodating. Super thoughtful from start to finish. The care in making their guests comfortable was wonderful. They gave us a cute bottle of wine, brownies and even an ornament! The beach pass was well used as were the beach chairs and bikes! The property was great and well positioned with so many beaches and trails. The house was adorable, well appointed and cozy. Was a happy little stay and a great place for quality family time. Thank you again!

This property is just beautiful. Very centrally located to all attractions but somehow still feels quiet & peaceful.

Five star.

I recommand it. Very clean and comfortable. Only downside, there are not 4 bedrooms as described: the sofa bed is in the living room. It is therefore 3 bedrooms with the possibility of having someone sleep in the common area.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 1 August 2023
Hello Mark, I just read your review and realized that the home page of the VRBO listing does indicate 4 bedrooms in error. The description within the listing states 3 bedrooms but when I added the extra sofa bed, and listed it as being in the living room, the system entered it as an extra bedroom in error. I apologize for the confusion. I have since deleted one of the bedroom listings and added the sofa bed in the living room section. Thank you for the information and your consideration. We appreciate you!

Perfection

We have stayed at many VRBO properties and have yet to be disappointed. This property, however, is simply perfect in every way. One would be hard pressed to find a weed on the lawn or a scuff mark anywhere in the house. Everything you could possibly want or need is at hand, and whoever was responsible for the interior design has great taste. Property owners Diane and Dan were great hosts and simply delightful people.

Amazing stay in Saco!

Linda and Dan's home in Saco was everything we needed for our trip to Saco. Their gorgeous home was absolutely spotless and just as advertised in the listing. Linda and Dan were both amazing hosts and fantastic communicators. We had the pleasure of meeting them as well and they were the nicest people. They went out of their way to make sure our family was comfortable and taken care of. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. The home itself is also conveniently located in the middle of everything we visited. Whether it was going to the boardwalk, or going to Biddeford for several restaurants, it was no more than 10 mins. We will be looking to stay here in the future. Thank you again to Linda and Dan for everything.

Beach House Bliss

The property was spotlessly clean, perfectly located, and ideal for our visit. The owner, Linda, responded to requests and questions quickly and thoroughly. The house is lovely and provided plenty of space for 4 adults and an 8 month old. The kitchen was well stocked so we were able to prepare meals at home if we wanted to. A nice yard allowed us to enjoy time outside. The house was very close to Ferry Beach State Park; a great place to walk along the water and enjoy the sea. This is a great base for exploring close by towns, Portland, and points beyond. We hope to return in the future. Thank you Linda, for your kindness, attention to detail, and hospitality.

perfect place to make memories

I can’t even put into words how PERFECT this house was for my wife & I and three kiddos. It was immaculately clean when we arrived, beds beautifully made, decorations purposeful & spot on with the beach house theme & even fresh brownies waiting for us. Every detail was thought out from laundry supplies to dishes & tupperware. The furniture was comfortable and the sturdy blinds were great for privacy at night, but provided for so much natural sunlight during the day. The front porch was our favorite place to hang out after dinner, while the kids played soccer in the yard, picked blueberries from the blueberry bushes & ran alongside us as we rode the two bikes provided down the driveway. Our favorite beach, Bay View was only a mile down the road and the beach cart came in so handy. We are already talking about booking again. We made so many memories this week with our kids & we’re so thankful that we had this beautiful house to rest & relax in. We would recommend this home 10,000 times over again to anyone!

Great stay in Saco

We had a wonderful stay at this home. Very clean, nicely decorated and well organized/equipped. Loved the bikes and two close beaches to enjoy! Dan and Linda were so helpful suggesting restaurants and making sure everything was satisfactory! The master bedroom is very spacious. My only suggestion would be a king bed. (minor) Beds were comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! Definitely would recommend staying here!
