Map & Owner's Profile
Biddeford Pool Spacious Beach House Rental - Hdtv, Allows Dogs
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Biddeford Pool
The Pool is a throw-back to the family life of the 1950's plus all the wonderful nearby options of Portland, Kennebunport, and even Old Orchard Beach amusement park. The long sandy beach is the best Southern Maine for long walks & body surfing . Tidal pools offer endless exploration for sea creatures. Our kids love the freedom to go anywhere on their bikes, especially the daily trip to the village store for ice cream!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Beautiful, easy bike rides to Goose Rocks & Cape Porpoise for breakfast or lunch. "Gone with the Wind" rents top-notch kayaks & windsurfers in B Pool. Kayak out to the Wood Island Lighthouse quite easily or explore the calm waters of the back Pool. Several public tennis courts & golf courses are nearby, too.
Owner's Map of Biddeford Pool
We wanted a convenient vacation home with all amenities for comfort & fun. In the Boston suburbs, we're just 90 min to B Pool. We love to bike, play tennis, play with our kids, surf, kayak, garden, cook, and hang out at the beach. After 20+ years in the Northeast, Biddeford Pool always is our favorite place in New England!

This house is a must for any group! It has everything...including fun things for teenagers to do. The owners are incredibly hospitable and accomodating. It is very clean, comfortable and has great community space! The yard is so beautiful and there is ample parking for our 15 passenger van! Our youth group felt at home and the ocean was amazing

My husband and I rented this house for 10 days in September 2010. At the beginning of the week, we enjoyed the company of our two sons & their families, Our three young grandchildren (ages 3, 6 & 8) loved the house! We got together for games & meals but there was plenty of rooms for separate activities and sleeping. It is also a very short walk to the beach. With one day in between for the two of us to rest & relax, we invited two other couples to join us for our last few days at "our" beach house. Perfect for the three couples! My husband and I have been going to Biddeford Pool for 15 summers since it is about a 2 hour drive for us. We have already booked our week in 2011 and can't wait to return. The owners were great to work with and the house is fully equipped - a great combination. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an ocean vacation.

This home was perfect for our get away! My husband and I (70's) and our son, daughter-in-law (40's) and grandkids (6, 8, 10) and our dog all loved it. Everyone loved it for a different reason as well! Our son and dtr.in law appreciated the access to the internet that allowed them to get some work done as well as enjoy the beach. The kids loved the toys and games and their nice rooms. I loved the sunporch where I could curl up and read a book with the dog while the younger ones went to the beach. My husband loved the BIG TV where he could watch the Red Sox play. The TV was also popular during the world cup soccer matches. The porch was wonderful, shady and cool, the perfect place to enjoy our evening meal. The kitchen is well equipped and we had fun preparing our meals together in it. The yard is very pretty with gardens. Everything is wonderfully maintained and very well equipped, it would be hard to think of something that was missing. They even have stilts and a pogo stick, what more could you need? We highly recommend this rental!

My husband and I rented this house with several other couples and our children in the middle of the winter, and it was great! Even though it was cold outside, we were able to thoroughly enjoy the outdoors because the house is located very close to a beautiful stretch of beach and also to the town. While most of the stores/restaurants in town were closed for the winter, it was a quick walk from the house to the town, and we enjoyed wandering around exploring - it is a very quaint area. The house was fully stocked with movies and games, which was perfect for a cozy winter weekend. The house was very clean and comfortable, and it was obvious to us that its owners take great care of it. They were very responsive and helpful and provided a lot of wonderful information about the Biddeford Pool area and directions to the house. The house is perfect for families with children because there are many books and toys, bicycles of all sizes, children's movies, a high chair, a pack n' play crib, etc. for guests to enjoy. It was also wonderful to find a house that had so many bedrooms and bathrooms - ideal for a larger group or multiple families. We are looking forward to visiting again soon and can't wait to try it out during the warmer months as well. We would highly recommend it!

We rented this fantastic house for two weeks in August of this year. It's a gorgeous house - bright, sunny, wonderfully decorated, modern kitchen and bathrooms and supplied with every imaginable kitchen and beach item you could think of. Add a perfect location on a quiet street, right near both a sandy and rocky beach, berry bushes on the property bursting with ripe fruit, two terrific local restaurants and you have a recipe for a superb time you'll treasure.

I grew up in southern Maine and wanted a quite, peaceful summer retreat. We visited the house in Biddeford Pool with another family. We had a total of four adults, three children, and two dogs. There was plenty of room for all of us and we could've probably added a few more people. The home is clean, comfortable, and in close proximity to two great beaches-one rocky and one sandy. This home is also near many great tourist attractions in Maine. (But not so close that it's noisy and crowded.) I definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful summer retreat.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and so many items, all thoughtfully organized and labeled. None brought us more joy than the small yellow bicycle which four-year-old Austin learned to ride on Day One. Boy and bike were mostly inseparable for the rest of the week. Thanks, too, for arranging perfect weather for six of the seven days we spent in Maine. We hereby award five stars (*****) to the house at 5 Fifth Street, Biddeford Pool, ME., and look forward to spending another week here in the future.

This home is truly wonderful. I've been vacationing at Biddeford Pool for at least 25 years and have stayed at many homes. This home is one of my top favorites. Lovely furnishings; large yard; extremely well-maintained all around. And all within walking distance to wonderful beaches as well as the audubon sanctuary. The owners are very gracious and do all they can to make sure guests have everything they need. I highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a first rate Maine experience.
