This was the perfect place for my husband and I. It sits back off the road surrounded by woods. It was very clean and the hosts were very accommodating. They provided snacks, water and soda. We enjoyed the hot tub. Located close to many beaches where we watched sunrise, sunset and moon rises. Highly recommend you should stay here!

I feel very lucky to have found this VRBO listing. Brenda and Phil were great hosts and the property is so nice and welcoming.The rooms are nicer than can be captured in the photos, and everything is rather luxurious and comfortable.The location is awesome, as it's right by UNE (I went swimming there; very nice pool and facility), and close enough to beaches, and a short drive from Kennebunk.I'd definitely stay here again, and would recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful location
This was a terrific place to stay. The rooms were upstairs over the garage, so there was a nice sense of privacy, although there’s an adjoining door to the kitchen. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a queen bed, and two single beds in a separate room. Perfect for a family. The property is surrounded by woods and feels secluded, but is only a couple hundred yards from the campus of the University of New England. Great location to visit the university, and an easy 10 minute drive to Biddeford (or half and hour to Portland). Our hosts were lovely people, friendly and helpful, with a very sweet greyhound named Ollie. Terrific stay, highly recommended.

Perfect for a professional visiting UNE
I had a weekend course scheduled at UNE. I could not ask for better lodging. 100% perfect. Clean, beautiful, comfortable. Only 1/3 mi from the campus which was an easy walk (and a better choice since they have parking issues at UNE). I took an easy walk to the trail at Rachel Carson as well. Hot tub - early morning watching the dawn break - serene. Perfect hosts.

Biddeford Pool Reunion
I was thrilled to find this lovely rental when I was planning our trip to Biddeford Pool, Maine. The property was tucked away surrounded by a beautiful background of trees. It was easy to find, well situated, and very roomy for me and my 3 adult children. The unit was very clean and nicely appointed (very New England) and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay (the second bathroom was a bonus for sure!). Our hosts were wonderful - friendly, easy going and accommodating. Should I find myself returning to Biddeford Pool in the future, I would definitely rent this beautiful unit again.

The perfect Maine retreat!
We loved our stay at Brenda and Phil's home! They were so welcoming to us and made every effort to make the stay comfortable and memorable for us. Just like many of the other reviews state, it truly is like staying at your grandparents house and the property was truly so beautiful and the perfect spot for us to stay as we explored so many gorgeous towns on Maine's southern coast. The rooms were so spacious and communication was seamless if we ever needed any extra supplies etc. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you Brenda and Phil for making our Maine trip truly unforgettable!

Cozy hideaway close to beaches!
We had a fabulous visit. Our cozy room had a dedicated shower, coffee, snacks and comfortable seating. The room across was also great and roomy and had a fridge and additional snacks. Our hostess and host were delightful and so helpful. We felt every little detail had been addressed. The outside grounds were beautiful and the hot tub was so relaxing amidst the fruit trees and flowers. We will definitely stay here again. Although it was just my husband and myself we could have had 2 other adults with us in the opposite room which had a large couch and two twin beds. The beach was close by car and as we were visiting family it was a perfect cozy retreat for us.

Refined Serenity
We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was staying with Benda and Phil (and Ollie). From the remote setting, to the quiet upstairs apartment, this truly had everything we needed for 9 days.
Brenda has decorated with the traveler in mind. Sleeping area was separate from the "living" area. We utilized the small desk to use our laptop, and overall had plenty of space to spread out. The window blind on remote control was great in the mornings, there were plenty of blankets, pillows, pool towels and even bath robes. The snacks they supplied were perfect to get our mornings started (bagels, cream cheese, muffins, jams, peanut butter, OJ.....).
Brenda and Phil have full lives, and stay busy, but were always happy to take a break from their yard work to chat with us and to hear about our day and future travel plans. We try to get to this area at least once per year, and look forward to staying here again.

An excellent, cozy stay
I was visiting family who goes to UNE and you cannot be closer to campus than this. That being said, it was also impressively well isolated from the noise you would associate with a college campus. Every morning we would wake up and see the beautiful marsh behind the property, and not think we were a 2 minute drive from college dorms.
The accomodations were excellent, we had plenty of room to ourselves for our stay The hosts have tons of recommendations for any sort of venue you may be looking for.
All in all, a wonderful stay, and I will be visiting again!
