About this property

waterfront home on Biddeford Pool, 2 min walk to beach, spectacular sunset view

5 star accommodation-Heron’s Landing-where the beach meets birdsong, a peaceful 3 bdrm waterfront retreat with spectacular sunset views of Biddeford Pool.
Located just across the street from one of southern Maine's most beautiful beaches.

Enjoy a relaxing getaway at this quaint, newly decorated three bedroom cottage. The iconic A-frame on Milestretch Road enjoys a sunset view of Biddeford Pool and a two minute walk to gorgeous Fortune's Rocks beach.

Our comfortable seaside home features 1 queen bedroom on 1st floor and 1 queen bedroom with deck overlooking the harbor and 2 twin beds on second floor. Sleep peacefully in premium cotton bedding in rooms with blackout curtains. First floor bathroom is fully stocked with toiletries and towels. A washer and dryer for your convenience.
A newly updated, well-equipped kitchen with new appliances, a Keurig coffee maker and pods.

Wake up to fresh coffee on the private deck and watch the sea birds flying in to search for breakfast in the shallows of Biddeford Pool. Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets stalk the edges of the salt marshes while Red-Neck Grebes and Loons bob in the pool. Visit the Maine Audubon website to learn more and to get tips on exploring the East Point Audubon Sanctuary.

After an easy breakfast in the sunny kitchen, you can grab a book, beach towels and the loaded beach cart for a two-minute walk to gorgeous Fortune’s Rocks Beach directly across the street. Lifeguards are on duty 9-5 with access to bath house and showers. Check out the Kodak camera house, stroll the miles of sandy beach, surf and swim all day or head back to the house for lunch and a nap!
After enjoying the spectacular sunset on your private deck, head out to one of the numerous local restaurants for a delicious meal.


There are so many fun activities and amazing beaches within minutes of Biddeford Pool. Bring your kayaks, paddleboards, bikes and boats. Shop for antiques and collectibles in nearby Arundel, Wells and Kennebunkport. Visit the Seacoast Trolley Museum. Enjoy the search for the perfect lobster roll. Go on a whale watching trip. Catch the ice cream truck at Bill Boucher Park. Head downtown for best fish and chips at Fish & Whistle or a Banh Mi and bubble tea at BiddoBanh.
Just one hour and 45 minutes north of Boston and less than 40 minutes south from Portland the possibilities are endless with so much to see and do in this part of Maine. We absolutely fell in love with Biddeford Pool and hope that you will too!

We had a great time at Heron’s Landing! The home was clean, decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. Kara responded promptly and was very attentive. Our favorite thing was the location - just a quick walk across the street to a beautiful sandy beach! We really appreciated the provided wagon and beach toys - our boys loved them! We would definitely recommend staying here!

Great place to stay!The house was clean and well stocked. The host was terrific and responsive, but more importantly, accommodating. Having dogs of her own, she understood the things associated with that. No extra fees, just a “little extra vacuuming” by her team. Location was fantastic and off the beaten path. However, Kennebunkport and Ogunquit were a short drive away. Dog-friendly beach was across the street and the nightly sunsets were amazing to see over the harbor in the backyard. Cheers

Why they chose this property

Biddeford Pool is a historically rich and quaint area of Maine seacoast. Not only can you bird watch from on the back deck of the house, a very short drive will take you to the East Point Audubon Sanctuary. And a quick walk will bring you to Great Pond, which is another great spot for birdwatching and stroll around a historic St. Brendan's Chapel.

What makes this property unique

Quiet peaceful location, very private and right across the street from a sandy beach. Incredible sunsets over the harbor!
