About this property
Beautiful Family Ferry Beach Retreat
Welcome home to your dream vacation!
Location, natural beauty, and endless things to do await you and your family and friends at this little piece of paradise. This roomy four-bedroom beach house is nestled on a dead-end street in a private neighborhood at Ferry Beach in Saco, Maine. You can walk the pristine seven-mile beach perfect for seashell hunting, swimming, and building epic sandcastles.
The beach house is 50 steps away from one of the prettiest beaches in Maine! We are blocks away from the state park and within walking distance to Camp Ellis known for its seafood, jetty, and fishing pier. Two miles down the beach is Ocean Park where you can putter around in seaside gift shops, grab an ice cream at the charming Soda Fountain or play a game of shuffleboard. Want Honky Tonk? Travel three miles to Old Orchard and enjoy the amusements, pizza, and pier fries. In the mood to shop? The outlets in Freeport and Kittery are less than an hour away. Looking for more exploring? Kennebunkport and Portland are each a quick 20-minute car ride. The beach house is easily accessible to the turnpike and Portland airport.
Wake up to a sunrise each morning on one of your two decks and end the day with a cocktail on the expansive, second-floor deck with breathtaking views. Both decks have barbecues and places to dine al fresco. The beach house has three comfortable bedrooms: a king, a queen, and a second queen bed with an attached half-bath. Upstairs is the bunk room with two twin bunks and another full bed tucked into a cozy nook. Gather for family meals and epic game nights around a huge dining table in the fully equipped kitchen, including a lobster pot and all the fixings to enjoy Maine's famous fare! There are plenty of spaces to spread out and enjoy quiet moments alone and family time as well. Games, puzzles, and books are available. Computer users have WIFI, internet ready TVs and a DVD in the living room.
The outdoor hot/cold shower is very refreshing when coming off the beach. Book today. A lifetime of memories awaits you!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Laura Daly
We are third generation caretakers of this beloved family home in Ferry Beach. Our grandfather built it for our grandmother with whom he shared a 52 year love affair. He knew even then that the salt air is good for the soul.
Our grandmother loved the water and was always happiest at the ocean. Growing up the four of us were spoiled with ready access to the beach and more importantly grandparents who nurtured in each of us a deep love of the ocean.
When our mothers inherited the property, it changed physically; with an extensive renovation completed in 2004 which expanded on the original footprint and after living there together for many years it has now transitioned to us for safekeeping.

Why they chose this property
Our home is filled with four generations of memories.
We’ve celebrated birthdays and weddings at the beach. Our dogs have run along the shore and swam in the water, less concerned with the temperature then their humans. We’ve had clambakes and eaten so many lobsters. We’ve walked along at low tide, collecting sea glass and sand dollars. We’ve visited during stormy weather, witnessing the ocean’s power. We’ve had quiet moments with just a few of us and more lively ones with extended family. We’ve had joyful days filled with laughter and devastatingly sad ones filled with tears.
Each new family member has felt the pull of our ocean. It’s magic. A house is just a house but when you fill it with decades of memories it becomes something more.
We are excited to share this special spot with you and hope you are able to create your own wonderful family memories here.
