Great cottage!

Cottage was clean, cute, and the property location was excellent. Steps away from sandy Hill beach and large outdoor space back at the cottage. Owner was a great communicator and was available to answer any questions. We were happy to be able to bring both our small dogs with us. Would rent here again.

Long weekend

We stayed here during a long weekend and it was a cozy beach vacation. Everything we needed was steps away from the house. There was a firepit outback as well as an outdoor shower, if you are there in the warmer months., I would recommend to a small family that wants to get away and enjoy the peaceful coast of Maine.

My family of three stayed here for three nights and it was a perfect quck get away with lots of options! The beach is right across the street and it was never crowded. We brought our kayaks and put them in the water behind the house to do some bird and critter watching. Nice quiet neighborhood. We spent one afternooon in Kennebunport (20 mins away) and one night at old orchard (20 mins away) to play in the arcade and ride the rollercoaster. There's something for everyone!

What a wonderful place!

Joe’s beach cabin was an absolutely perfect location for may family’s trip to the Biddeford area. The space was comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and most importantly for us, the location was fantastic. Literally across the street from a wonderful sandy beach and butting up directly to a beautiful salt marsh - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Hoping to come back before too long!

Beautiful, peaceful - right on marsh

The cottage is adorable, and very clean with cute beachy decor. The backyard is RIGHT ON a gorgeous salt marsh, National Wildlife Sanctuary. Bring your binoculars! 6 Adirondack chairs surround a chiminea. Such a relaxing wonderful spot. A right of way path to the beach, ocean is right across the road. There is a nice long dog run which my dog used a lot to be out with me enjoying the yard.

Another reason to love Maine

The house was just what we needed to spend the week in Maine visiting a UNE student. Close to campus but also quintessential Maine coastal rental. We had beautiful fall weather while we were there so were able to enjoy the patio and also the backyard fire area with choice of solo stove or chiminea and Adirondack chairs and a picnic table overlooking the water. Easy access to Hills Beach, a quiet sandy beach across the street, and a short distance to Fortunes Rocks Beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook a full meal and enjoy hosting a small dinner. The bedrooms were small but perfect for what we needed. We appreciated having a washer and dryer in the house and cable TVs. Host was responsive and informative. Will definitely be back!
