It was a great stay as advertised! We had everything we needed there and ocean was so close!
This home is very conveniently located close to the beach and restaurants and grocery stores. Has everything you could want or need. Very responsive host.
Loved Pine Point Beach. We didn’t have great weather but beach was great for long walks in fog. Lots of room to spread out and chill when you need some space and good common areas to gather. The host, Jennie was very helpful. Highly recommended.
Beautiful home in a beautiful location. Plenty of room to host a large family. The kids loved the loft area. We hope to be back next year!
Property is perfectly situated with ocean views and a short walk to the beach. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants and bars and only a short trip to downtown Portland. The property was well kept and stocked with anything you might need and Jennie was very responsive when needed. Couldnt ask for much more!
This home is lovely! My husband and I and our adult children had everything we needed here. They had beach chairs, multiple games, cozy living area, and comfortable sleeping accommodations. This home was close to so much beautiful scenery. We loved our visit.
This place is a gem. Enough room for a larger group of friends to spend the weekend while still having space to relax in when you want it. I normally don’t write reviews other than giving a star rating but all the guys were impressed with the house and commenting on it so I had to just put it out there. The beach is a 2 minute walk, unbeatable access. The air conditioners in this house get the job done right so you aren’t left hot for an extra hour when you get back inside. Naturally we weren’t at the house all weekend but anytime we were it was like we were at home. Great vibes. Only wish we had one more day. Will miss it.
Everything was great. Very clean. Plenty of space for a big group.
Location was great and so much space for a large group. Beds were comfy, full equipped kitchen and linens and super convenient to Portland and OBB.
Thanks Jennie for a great stay for our family of 14 (8 adults and 6 kids under 7). The location was great, and Jennie gave wonderful advice and recommendations for our family to enjoy Easter weekend in her home. We especially appreciated the kitchen was set up for our foodie family to either cook in or eat out. The washer dryer was a lifesaver as well with little kids!
Our family had a great stay here with our young kids and their grandparents. The host was very responsive and helpful in coordinating everything. The space itself is in a great location a short walk to the beach. The house had room to spare for a group and was very well appointed with everything we needed. Would stay again!
The house is perfect for a group. We were 5 adults and three children. We were there in the winter. The house is only a short walk to the beach and, in spite of the freezing weather, we enjoyed walking on the beach. Plenty of pots and pans for cooking... Most very local restaurants, of which there are many, are closed in the winter but Portland, with its vast selection of good restaurants, is only 25 minutes or so away. Our family loves staying in this house. Thanks Jennie.
House had so much room, was clean, and had everything a big family needed.
Great location, plenty of room
House was large, well stocked and clean. Great location and very short distance to the beach. Definitely would come back in future.
We had a great stay in Pine Point and would highly recommend Jennie's home. Perfect setup for a family or group rental with everything you need for a fun beach vacation. There's a giant fenced in backyard, great deck for summer dinners and it's just a couple minute walk to the beach.
The house was so clean and well organized. It was very well stocked. Jennie was very quick to respond. We had a wonderful stay!
We had an awesome family reunion at a great location steps from a fantastic beach and several walk- to dining options. House was very clean and set up for a large group, such as ours.
Our family of 14 spent a wonderful week at this property in Pine Point. The house worked great for us, as each family had their own space, and also plenty of room for all of us to gather together, eat, visit and play games. Jennie has thought of EVERYTHING when stocking the house. We especially appreciated the beach cart, all of the beach toys, beach chairs and beach towels. We did spend a lot of time on the beach, and it is so easy to walk to and from the beach. The Vrbo listing and the pictures made the house sound and look very appealing, and before we got there we wondered if it would be all that we expected it to be. It certainly was all that we expected and so much more. We would certainly book this property again, and we would highly recommend it to others.
Place was great and lived up to the positive reviews we had read previously. Owner was so nice and accommodating especially because we were traveling with toddlers. Provided all the amenities needed for a nice family vacation. Highly recommend this rental.
Property is just as described but better. Plenty of rooms to spread out in. We hung out on the deck and in the yard and grilled, and went for walks on the beach. Beds were comfy . Thanks for a great stay !
This is a lovely, comfortable, well-equipped place to vacation. A lot of thought went in to comfort of the guests and supplies for a great time at the beach.
Jennie was a great host - the location to the beach is awesome and the house was very organized and clean - we had a great time.
