Wonderful gem of a place!

We had a wonderful stay in Biddeford Pool and loved Scarlett’s beautiful home! The home was clean, spacious and well laid out, and the location couldn’t be beat — close to the beach and amenities. The hosts were really welcoming and made us feel at home, even dropping off fresh zucchini during the week. We’d love to come back!

Bright and sunny!

This house is a lovely example of a classic New England farmhouse updated with modern amenities! It has a nostalgic feel of the past yet is beautifully decorated with modern sensibility. The kitchen is new and fully functional and the bathrooms are clean and provide good hot showers. The beds are comfy and we were warmed with a little bit of heat a couple of nights. Another thing that is a plus is the number of mirrors! Seems a funny thing to comment on, but it’s nice to have good mirrors with sufficient light! Loved the way the sun lit up the white staircase in the morning, and the 5 acre lawn leading down to the pool is a pleasant discovery worth experiencing each day. The house is very close to the Big Beach for long walks!

Heaven!

The house is a low key elegant that immediately put us in a tranquil vacation mode. Beds are clean and comfortable. Plenty of room to spread out and the perfect location for doing as much or as little as you like. The view, access to the beach and the charming village were more than we had hoped for! We hope to visit again! Our furbabies loved it as much as we did :-)

Wonderful, comfortable home with a fantastic view!

Our family absolutely loved staying at Bloomsbury Cottage! It's a beautiful and welcoming home that is super convenient: just a short walk to Goldthwaite's and to the beach. It was lovely to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee in the morning before starting our day. The sunsets are spectacular, and the house had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun trip. We've stayed in Biddeford Pool many times, and this is now our favorite house!

Another great week at Biddeford Pool

Our family of 6 greatly enjoyed our week in BP. The house was extremely comfortable, and appointed with everything we needed. A nice, quiet location with gorgeous sunsets across the Pool and easy access to Goldthwaites, Big Beach, and Little Beach.

Wonderful stay!

There are so many positive things to say about our stay in this very comfortable and well laid out home. The location is just right for walking to the beach and the little local store. The set up of the house allowed plenty of space for all as well as places to visit together. The view is gorgeous with lovely grounds and plantings. Our communication with Scarlett was flawless. We look forward to a return visit!!

Wonderful stay in Biddeford Pool!

We had a fantastic stay in Biddeford Pool at this adorable, beachy cottage. Our family has stayed in the area many times but this was our first time in the Pool. The location is great--right across the street from the wide, sandy beach and overlooking the Pool itself which changes throughout the day with the tides. The house is also just down the street from the local market which serves up sandwiches, salads and ice cream (and, of course, lobster rolls!). The house itself is cute and spacious. We loved having 3 full bathrooms which made post-beach showering easier for our family of 5. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and there is a grill although we didn't use it during our stay. The owners are very responsive and helpful which we appreciated. We would definitely stay in this special spot again!

Serene Maine Getaway

The property was exactly as descrided on the site. The home was clean and well appointed. The neighborhood was quiet. The beach and lobster pound/general store are truly a few minutes walk away. It was a nice way to ease into traveling once again.

A very special place

This is our second (or maybe third) visit to Biddeford and this home. Best location. 1 minute to beach, 30 seconds to incredible sunsets, 1 minute to the country store. I can't say enough great things about it. Already miss being there.

Beautiful house in a great location, Biddeford Pool is amazing!!

House was well appointed and perfect as a beach house for a week. It's a great location in the middle of Biddeford Pool, 2 minutes from the beach. Linens, towels and bedding were clean and freshly changed, although some of the floors / rooms weren't quite as clean...

Charming lodging on the Marsh

This beautiful home, was ours for an entire week. Absolutely charming, beautifully decorated with a splendid view on the marsh... especially breathtaking at cocktail hour, during sunset. This house has everything, and is well equipped. It is located at the heart of Biddeford pool's village and very close to its public beaches. I Would strongly recommend this home for your next holiday :))

Quiet and authentic Maine retreat

Our family had a great time here. Biddeford Pool is a great location for a summer vacation. This home is a 3 minute walk to the beach. It has a great deck with lovely inland water views. And its a 3 minute walk to the local general store, where you can pickup fresh live (or cooked) lobsters. Thanks!

Great cottage very comfortable and nicely decorated

We booked Bloomsbury cottage for a family gathering spot for our sons medical school graduation. The house was spacious. Downstairs bedroom with full bath was perfect for grandparents nice deck with grill was perfect for a post graduation cook out!! The deck also was a nice quiet and sunny spot to read the paper in the morning worked out perfect for us the owners daughter scarlet was very easy to deal with the house was clean with the cleaning just leaving on our arrival as well as lawn freshly mowed also when we were there. Well maintained quaint older cottage added to a great weekend and everyone was comfortable would recommend ( we rent two houses on this site and sincerely would highly recommend this home to a family)

Comfortable home with scenic views

My husband and I stayed at this property from 9/23-9/26/16. Our group included our parents, a toddler, pre-k child, and dog. From the beginning, the owners were responsive and welcoming. Upon arrival the house was clean and as pictured on line. Everything throughout the house was well stocked. We enjoyed using the kitchen, sitting on the deck to enjoy the views while the kids and dog played in the yard, and waling to the adjacent beach. The property was a scenic drive to/from shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend this property and would consider staying here again if we returned to Maine.

About the host

Hosted by Scarlett Bermingham

I'm a portrait photographer based out of Washington, D. C. and originally from the UK.

Why they chose this property

I have Vacationed in Biddeford Pool for over 30 years with my daughter Scarlett. It easy to get there from my home in Washington DC and she comes out every Summer from California. Being on the water is great for kayaking and there is easy access to the two mile sandy beach. You absolutely cannot beat the lobster.

This house is supremely cozy and quaint, yet the layout is such that even with a big group, everyone has plenty of space. A real coastal Maine cottage.

What makes this property unique

You can walk down the lawn and launch kayaks into the pool or take a walk through the marsh or grab a coffee at Goldthwaite's. Less than a five minute walk to the beach. Order your cooked lobsters from the Store/lobster pound or barbecue off the back deck.
