About this property

Sprawling Ocean Views, Island Walks & Unforgettable Maine Memories

There is something magical about this stretch of the Maine coast.

Wake each morning to sweeping views of Saco Bay and spend your days watching the ocean transform with the tides. At low tide, sandbars emerge from the water, creating a natural pathway to nearby islands waiting to be explored. By evening, gather with family and friends to watch the last light dance across the bay while the sounds of the ocean drift through open windows.

Located just 20 yards from the beach, this spacious five-bedroom coastal retreat was made for bringing people together.

Start the day with coffee on the deck overlooking the water. Spend the afternoon searching tide pools, walking the sandbars, kayaking, swimming, or exploring nearby beaches. Return home to rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the grill, and settle in for another evening of laughter, stories, games, and connection.

Inside, nearly 3,000 square feet of living space offers room for everyone to spread out while still feeling connected. The upstairs gathering room features panoramic ocean views, comfortable seating, and oversized windows that make the sea the centerpiece of every conversation.

One of our favorite spots in the house is the dedicated puzzle, card, and game table overlooking the bay. Spend a rainy morning working on a puzzle, enjoy a competitive family game night, or simply sit with a book while watching sailboats, seabirds, and the changing tides. The ocean becomes your entertainment.

Throughout the home you'll find inviting spaces designed for both gathering and quiet moments—a comfortable reading nook by the windows, cozy seating areas for conversation, and plenty of room for multiple generations to enjoy time together.

Whether you're celebrating a family reunion, a golf getaway, a beach vacation, or simply a week away from busy schedules, this home offers the kind of setting where traditions begin and memories are made.

Lovely time at the beach

Lovely property near the beach. Other than slight problem with cleaning service and linens upon check in and the BBQ not working properly, this house is wonderful for a large family or group of friends. The owners dealt properly with the problems and were very nice.

Great family vacation

This was a wonderful location for a week's vacation coinciding with our niece's Maine wedding. Two of our kids, their spouses, and our three grandchildren stayed with us in the house. With the beach just 200 ft. down the road, it was easy to get the kids and beach paraphernalia to the small semi-private beach. The kids looked for shells and flew a kite, made sand castles, and walked to the island via the sandbar at low tide. The kitchen and bathrooms were adequately equipped and the beds were comfy. We would definitely return if the opportunity arose.

Ok but could have done better

The house was not properly cleaned. The bathrooms had sticky substances in floor. The oven did not work and neither did the grill on the stove, and the propane grill had a leak. The family was very responsive and the area was wonderful.

Hi Veronica Thank you so much for your feedback. Our usually cleaners did not have enough staff for this year unfortunately so we had to try with someone new. It is helpful to know that it wasn't in good condition. I sincerely apologize for that and the technical difficulties with the appliances. I am glad my family was able to help right the ship and hope you enjoyed your stay overall. Thank you again for the feedback, we are always looking to improve our renters' experience.

AMAZING

The house was great - space to spread out and plenty of room for all 10 of us to be together! Location was perfect for us - very low key, not a lot of people on the beach (at most we saw 20 people one day), the beach was fairly protected and the water didn’t get very choppy so we felt fantastic letting the kids play all day! Meaghan was great and communicated promptly to answer any questions we had. I am so glad we chose to stay here!
