Location location! We stayed at Mellindaâs house for a family getaway with two kids (7 and 5) this is our 5th summer coming to the Maine area and we have yet to find the perfect place for beach/town location. Weâbe always been a little far from the beach, and with kids itâs a hassle. This location is 7 houses down from the bridge at footbridge beach! There was no stress of parking or getting up early to get there. Everyday we would pack lunches and park ourselves at the most clean and beautiful beach! The neighborhood was perfect for scooter rides, which the kids took for our evenings out to dinners and the town which is about 1.5 miles from the house. We even went all the way to Perkins cove with the kids on a scooters (45 mins) but with plenty of stores, restaurants and ice cream/candy on the route we had no complaints! Plus the trolley which starts running July 1 is right by the house! The house is clean and cute with a perfect blend of beachy decor, washer dryer (which is so good w kids) and Mellinda even has kayaks and bikes.. it was the absolute perfect stay! Mellinda was beyond the sweetest and so helpful and kind, to sum up⊠we have already booked next summer!!!
