Great week at Ferry Beach
This house had everything we needed (and more) for a great family vacation. There was plenty of room for everyone. The beach is just a short walk from the house. We especially loved the view of the ocean from the balcony and had a lot of fun in the game room, playing pool and games.

Great stay!
We had an amazing time staying in this property! Everything was exactly as advertised and you can't beat the comfort and proximity to the beach. We had so much fun playing pool and using the provided paddle boards. It was so nice to not have to worry about parking, AC, bathrooms, space in the house, etc. The kids had so much fun with the whole downstairs area to themselves. Thanks, and see you next year!

Perfection!
This beautiful home more than met our expectations. Three generations enjoyed a week of relaxation in a space that provided everything needed to guarantee a comfortable, relaxing vacation. The home is well-equipped, well-appointed and steps from a serene and beautiful beach. The owners were delightful to work with. I am known to be quite particular and hold high standards for any of my travel accommodations. This vacation home was perfect!

Family vacation
The house was perfect for my family. We cooked and ate at the house most of the time. It was equipped with everything we needed and then some. They even had beach chairs and toys to entertain our 2-year-old twins. The deck was beautiful to eat out on. Definitely beat our expectation. Doug and Wendy were very welcoming.

This place has it all!
Everything was flawless from the check in to the check out. Wendy was very accessible and always answered any questions in a timely manner. The house had EVERYTHING you may possibly need from kitchen utensils to beach equipment to games for the kids 3 to 13. The location is perfect and beach beautiful. The house is beautifully decorated and we enjoyed having dinner at a table that could fit all 10 of us comfortably. Thank you Wendy and Doug for allowing us to stay in your amazing home.

Fabulous house and location
The house was better than described and worked perfectly for 10. The downstairs was almost like a separate apartment where 4 people were quite comfortable. The seating in the living room, dining room, and deck was perfect for spending time together. And the location is perfect. Although you are one house off the beach, you have great views from the deck and the dead-end street make walking to and from the beach very easy. Would stay again.

Wonderful !
15 Lighthouse Lane is our new favorite vacation rental, every amenity we could have wanted for a beach house was there, home was spacious , close to the beach and very peaceful. Wendy and Douglas met us at checkin to tour the home and had plenty of paper and cleaning products on hand to start us out for vacation. Also, kitchen is well stocked with spices, pots, dishes and lots of storage- we loved the coffee center! The photos don’t do the home justice, it exceeded our expectations, thanks !

Our 5 star vacation
This was a new rental property for us in 2021. The house has an open concept and plenty of living space both private and for family. The kitchen was stocked with every useful item, billiards and games and books downstairs and the availability of every recreational thing imaginable all included in our price was unexpectedly wonderful

Making three generation memories at Ferry Beach
After about a decade away our family returned to the Ocean Park/ Ferry Beach area this time with three grandchildren added to the trip. The house was everything we could have imagined. I have never stayed at a house that literally had everything you might need as this one did. Our oldest child (3 years old) loved all of the toys, especially the puzzles. The beach toys/ chairs and games were in seemingly endless supply as well. The outdoor shower, fire pit and hammocks made the backyard an excellent hangout spot as well. The downstairs den served as a great early morning area for the young kids to play without waking the members of our party who’s days didn’t begin before five am. Wendy was amazing to deal with throughout the booking and lead up to our stay. We certainly hope to be back!

Perfect home, location, and views!
We had the perfect stay! The location is amazing with beautiful views of the ocean and seconds walk to the beach. The home comfortably fit three families and had everything we needed. The kitchen was fantastic, with all new appliances, and well stocked. The fenced in yard was great for the kids and the propane fireplace was a bonus. Wendy and Doug were great and very accommodating.

Location, location, location!
Our group of 7, 2 adults and 5 teenagers, had a truly fantastic week at Doug and Wendy’s beautiful home! The home was clean, spacious and had every amenity you could possibly want or need for a week at the beach. We loved our evenings making s’mores around the fire pit, swinging in the hammock chairs t or playing pool and darts downstairs, it was just perfect to keep the teenagers entertained! Daytime was spent relaxing on gorgeous Ferry Beach. The beach was one of the most tranquil and peaceful beaches I’ve had the pleasure of visiting, we felt like we had found a real hidden gem! The mere steps from the house to the beach made it perfect for everyone to come and go as they pleased throughout the day. If the weather permits, don’t miss the chance to take the kayaks out to Eagle Island(?) for a fun adventure. We didn’t see any seals, but hear they are common there! We were happy to lay low for most of the week, but would recommend the following: Shaw’s grocery store in Saco, easy to get to and not crowded! Cinnamon Rolls from Ocean Park Groceries, ice cream from The Saco Scoop and delicious coffee from Time and Tide Coffee in Biddeford. We had a really special week in Saco and can’t wait to go back to Doug and Wendy’s beautiful home soon!

Stay here!!!
Our family of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids) had a great time at Doug & Wendy's home. It was so spacious and they had literally EVERYTHING that you could think of available to you. The only thing you need are your personal items, sheets & towels, and nothing more! So close to the beach and sitting on the deck listening to the waves was so relaxing. I can't say anything bad - the home was great! Book it if you can!

Wonderful vacation home! So much to do here!
This home is lovely. 12 of us stayed here & had a great time. The 6 grandchildren ages 10-21 slept on the 1st level with plenty of room for all. The 6 adults had their own rooms on the main floor. We kayaked out to an island close by. We rode the bikes to Camp Ellis & OOB. Enjoyed the nice deck & fire pit. This home has it all!! We will return for sure.

Great location. Fabulous house that was spotless Kitchen exceptionally well equipped.
The beach was a very short walk away. It was shallow and warm enough to swim in. The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and appliances. A variety of sports equipment was available for water sports and indoor games. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was not crowded. A most enjoyable experience for our family in all respects.

Top notch beach house on Saco Bay
Well stocked, ample space, nicely furnished and tastefully decorated home. Owners have gone above and beyond in anticipating the things that renters might want and need -- down to toys for the kids and everything you might need for the beach and for cooking and dining. Owners were present on arrival and lovely to deal with. Everything about the house deserves five stars!

Beautiful home,views,location and all that we needed for the perfect Maine vacation!
The beachouse is beautiful,immaculate ,well organized and stocked with many amenities....all that we needed for the beach, for quiet evenings at the house and for great family dinners. We had a family " lobster fest" our last night thanks to a thoroughly stocked kitchen with all that was needed to cook,serve and devour the best lobster ever! The enclosed backyard and low traffic ,dead end street gave us peace of mind and gave the small kiddos space to play. The house itself provided ample space for our family of 6 adults,5 children and an infant as well as space for privacy as well. Wendy and Doug's game room was stocked with puzzles, blocks, art supplies and games so the kids were entertained and there was very little need for screen time that week. The kids made good use of the bikes and helmets,fishing poles, beach toys and floats and bubbles! The adults loved having coffee in the morning on the deck with the majestic views of the ocean and a clear view of the kids playing in the yard. Our family had real quality time together that week and we made memories for a lifetime. Thank you Wendy and Doug for anticipating every detail for the perfect family vacation!

Great place
A full length mirror, that's it-- that is literally the ONLY thing this house does not have. You can cook any meal and would have everything you need. A reviewer commented earlier that you only need to bring your suitcase and they are correct. The house is beautifully decorated and well taken care of. Wendy met us when we arrived to show us around and was easily available via text throughout our stay. The house is larger than the pictures show and the deck is more beautiful than any picture could do justice. We have rented in Maine and most recently on Cape Cod and Wendy truly takes pride in her home. All the beds and couches were super comfortable and not what you sometimes find in a rental. The house is 1 house from the ocean and a quick 30 second walk to sand and beach. We used the bikes and kayaks which were included as well as the corn hole game. This house could not be more perfect. You will not be disappointed.
