'Palace' Oceanfront, Picturesque Cove & Semiprivate Beach

Such a sweet little cottage. The giant door to the deck was our favorite part. Being able to have it open to listen to the crashing waves was bliss.

Charming old cottage with gorgeous views. Off the beaten path but accessible to Portland, Kennebunkport and Old Orchard. Suzanne is an amazing source of information!

Please keep in mind my review is based on my standards and expectations. I did see photos before hand and knew the cottage was dated. The cottage had a bad smell. Opened windows to air out but could not remove odor. Sat on side and back porch in the evening to get some fresh air. Unfortunately the main house on the property has a 2-head security light that was very bright and was very unpleasant while trying to enjoy the evening air and scenery. The kitchen was in fine. The living room same as photo, but with dust on floor. The bedrooms were small. Poor mattress. Not a traditional mattress and was lumpy. Did not care for the sheets. Fabric was similar to a tee shirt material. Smelled clean but held previous hairs and debris. Bathroom towels mismatched with no continuity in folding. The bathtub had a few leftover dark hairs. The cottage has fun rustic windows, but whoever painted the window frames white did a messy job. They did not paper or tape off the window panes so paint is all over the glass which takes away from their charm and drives me crazy but maybe doesn't bother most people. The main house on the property causes an obstructed view. You can see a small view of the ocean, side view of the beach, and you can hear the surf. The owner Suzanne was great at communication, providing quite a bit of local information. I also had a possibility of cancelling and she was willing to work with me on that. Suzanne does love her property.

If you want to hear, see and smell the ocean, this is the best place to be! Shabby chic plus loaded with charm. Could use better beds.

We had a very relaxing few days in this vintage cottage where we spent most of the time on the deck overlooking the ocean. Ocean air and the sound of the waves as the tide comes onto the neighboring beach… what could be better?

great spot quiet ,lots of birds, hear the waveswell equipped, loved the cottage

We had a very relaxing time. Beautiful setting.

So much potential in this Diamond in the rough. As a lover of old homes, the bones are great, but needs a lot of TLC. Furniture stained/ worn and outdoor furniture rusted and dysfunctional / towels smell like washer needs to be cleaned but location , Suzanne, the screened porches all divine:-) Kitchen is well stocked with pans/ pots and appointed with odds and ends like a college dorm thrift store. For 830 for three nights, maybe splurge on a really nice couch cover and nice chairs:-)

Location excellent, cottage adequate, interior furnishings ie kitchen, bedrooms, below standards for cost of booking.

Beach is right there!

Loved the view and walking on the beach.

Cute little cottage, perfect size for two adults without children. It was quiet and felt private yet not remote (people walked by, etc.). Bedrooms are very small so we slept in one and kept our clothes/got dressed in the other. Loved the screened in porch with the garden view as an option to the open deck on the ocean side, it was a nice place to eat meals and play games. Great view of the water, rocks with the birds, tide coming and going on the small beach ... all 'right there'!

Enjoyed the location. great kayaking. Lots of great info from host.

We had a few cleanliness issues when we arrived. We found mouse droppings throughout the cottage. We found many dirty dishes, glasses, and utensils dirty. Coffee area had dried coffee on counter. We had to remove the couch cover due to dog hair all over it. Suzanne was extremely good about communicating with us and addressed our issue regarding the mice. A property manager came over and fixed a screen door and put mice traps out. Prior to our visit, Suzanne provided us with lots of information regarding Biddeford and attractions. This cottage is very rustic and could use a few upgrades/TLC. Beds/mattress are very old. It may be time for new ones. The cottage is cute, and in a great location.
