Great

Our family had a wonderful four-night getaway at this property. The close proximity to the beach and the elevated deck were standout features that enhanced our experience. While a bit more privacy would have made it ideal, Nadine and Peter were exceptionally gracious and attentive hosts. Their hospitality added warmth to our stay. We truly appreciated the overall experience and would gladly recommend this property to friends and family.

Sweet slice of Maine!

We loved our time at Nadine and Peter's home! The home was clean and extremely comfortable for our family- my husband and me, my mother in law and our two kids. The location was excellent- close to everything we needed including the beach just down the road. We loved the yard, backing on beautiful woods, and we loved the pool and our kids LOVED the chickens!! Nadine was quick and easy to communicate with via message and text and was gracious and accomodating with our few special inquiries. This home was the perfect setting for our first trip to Maine- we hope to come back some day!!

Wonderful stay in beautiful location

We had a wonderful time staying at Nadine and her family's property. There are new renovations not in the photos including an island kitchen, new cook top, and more that only increased our comfort. Nadine was very communicative and extremely hospitable including providing fresh eggs from their chicken coop and veggies from their garden. The blueberries on the bush next to the pool were ripening and yummy as well. The location was lovely and full of nature with large trees, hummingbirds, and a great deck on which to relax and take it all in. It's a short drive or bike ride to the beach (Ferry Beach State Park was beautiful!) and is very convenient to Portland, Biddeford, Kennebunkport, Ogunquit and other nearby locations. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet get away near forrest and beach.

Property is 1 min from the beach parking by car. Beach spot is very nice with less people than Old Orchard even though it’s pretty close. Bathrooms and rooms were clean however kitchen apparels and cupboards were not. Owner is easy to reach and friendly. We encountered a lot of problems with the water heater during our trip we had to go and reset the machine often every day which was annoying. That needs to be fixed.

Wonderful House for Family Vacation

Our family of four enjoyed all the amenities at Nadine's house during our annual visit to Maine. The pool was well kept, clean and a nice break from the beach. The deck is amazing and neighborhood so nice and quiet. The beds were all super comfortable as well. We'd be happy to stay again soon

House to discover !!!!!

Nadine's house is the best house to discover in Saco. The house is just perfect with is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Only 2 minutes away from the ocean with a quiet neighbour you will enjoy your vacations more than you expect. A little pool will complete your relaxing day and a beautiful terrace to take your glass of wine will wait for you. So it's seem to be like a little paradise ! This year it is the second time we rent it and we will be back for sure :) Sure I will not forget our host, Nadine is so welcoming and available for her guests, she always make sure that everything is alright. Best host with the best house !!!!!!

July 4th Trip to Saco

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Nadine's property for the 4th of July holiday. The kids spent most of their time in the pool and we had a great time with family cooking out in the yard and enjoying the beautiful deck. We will definitely book again if we are in the area!

Perfect location to enjoy and explore Southern Maine from Portland to Kennebunkport.

Home was just what doctor ordered for relaxing and fun filled vacation for family of four. Highly recommend beaches in Biddeford Pool area- need permit from City Hall. Sweet Cream is also a must. Our two teenagers loved the backyard pool. Home was clean and in quiet neighborhood. Owners were quickly responsive to even minor issues,e.g, getting pump to fill tires in provided bikes. It was great that Saco Town Beach was only 1 mile away which we road bikes to.

Relaxing and Enjoyable

Nadine’s home is comfortable and perfect for a family vacation. The house has a large deck that was perfect for having breakfast, lunch and dinner on. In the evening the large living room was great for sitting around a enjoying everyone’s company. The location of the home is ideal, it is located within minutes of local beaches. On the property, Nadine has a wonderful vegetable garden, she allowed us to have vegetable from the garden. She also has chickens on the property, Nadine gave us fresh eggs during our stay. They were delicious. My family and I had a wonderful and relaxing time at Nadine’s Home.

What makes this property unique

Our Home is located on a quiet street, with a large private backyard, equipt with a shaded spacious deck, dining table, barbecue, and above ground pool, perfect for a relaxing evening outside. You will be a short drive away from several local beaches. Saco and Biddeford are neighboring cities that offer many different cuisines, fine dining options, small cafes, boutiques, and grocery stores to fit all your dining and shopping needs, all a short drive away.

We offer a beautiful and fully equipt kitchen if you feel like cooking at home, with easy access to the deck, and a large living room area perfect for family dinners or movie nights. One of my favorite parts of our home is spending mornings on the deck, enjoying a coffee in the pleasant air while listening to the songs of native birds.

On summer evenings, we like to take a short drive or bike ride to Old Orchard Beach. This bustling tourist town is located right along the beach, with a long pier to explore. Old Orchard Beach is filled with a variety of stores, food options, bars, and souvineer shops. The amusement park is a fun place to spend your evenings, and you can end your day watching fireworks along the beach.
