Cape Neddick, Maine
"Tidepools" sits on the highest eastern point between the famous Cape Neddick Light (the Nubble) and the Cliff House Resort, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on over an acre of private land. With more than 200 feet of your own private rocky ocean access and coastline, you may never want to leave!
Conveniently located in York, Maine minutes from the famous Cliff House Resort, Nubble Light and the villages of Ogunquit and Perkins Cove. The back lawn blends with the rugged surroundings. Footpaths to the water where the magic of tide pools, swimming, kayaking, fishing and snorkeling awaits. The large land-side lawn and sunset deck is the perfect place for family fun and games. Peaceful, private and completely renovated (with major improvements made in Spring 2019)
The hub of family fun – from dawn to late into the night – is the open family and living area. There is also a separate living room with TV. The house features stunning ocean views from almost every room in the house. The fully equipped new kitchen awaits you. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 of which have ocean views and sleeps 10 comfortably. All of the bedrooms are appointed with quality linens and towels for your convenience. 2 ½ baths, an awesome outdoor shower, front and back deck, large front yard, BBQ Grill, etc.
Tidepools sits in a secluded setting on a private road, three miles from some of the best surfing, beaches and other great activities in the area. Portsmouth, New Hampshire is 15 minutes to the south. Portland, Maine lies 45 minutes north and Boston and Manchester, NH are less than 90 minute's drive away.
Tidepools is both totally private and peaceful. It is a 5-minute drive to the Cliff House Resort & Spa, and only a minute more to the Cape Neddick Country Club golf course. You are only minutes from some of the finest dining and shopping on the New England seacoast. Less than 90 minutes from Boston, an hour from Manchester and 45 minutes from Portland, Tidepools is totally accessible!
It would take me 2 weeks to accurately describe this property it’s that incredible! The views were absolutely breathtaking & even better in person. We were nervous of not having AC in June coming from South Florida - but it was no problem at all with all the windows cracked. We had perfect weather & temperature in the house our entire trip! The house was beyond clean, organized & clearly well cared for. Having a washer/dryer was so amazing with 2 small children. Jim (property owner) was incredible to deal with. Not only was he attentive at anytime I had questions, he made sure we had grocery store locations & good places to go while visiting. If we ever visit Maine again - We will definitely stay here. There are no hotels that can give you this experience. We didn’t want to leave! So happy we booked this home - what an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend.
TidePools was exactly as advertised: gorgeous location, not fancy but beautifully renovated, open & airy, modern with some old world charm, and meticulously maintained. The ocean is so close to the house that with the windows open, we felt like we were practically on the sea! The furnishings are very comfortable and bright, there are multiple places inside and out to curl up with a good book, the kitchen is extremely well appointed, and the ocean is EVERYWHERE. Love how private it feels, the many big windows, the breeze, the quiet, the fact that it’s cozy but there’s plenty of space to stretch out, and that towns are just a few minutes away. It was just 2 of us this time, but it would be great for families, too (lots of family games in those cabinets, big lawn out front for kids to run around in addition to nooks & crannies to explore in the rocks by the water). We were looking for an outdoorsy, quiet vacation, but for those who want restaurants & night life, the quaint but lively town of Ogunquit was hopping in the evenings when we drove through for a couple of night walks on the (mostly empty) beach even though it was Sept-Oct. Some stores & a couple of restaurants are nearby in Cape Neddick. Also, Jim was easy to contact and very responsive to our questions. Great host!
Our vacation experience was lovely. The house and property were clean, well-appointed, comfortable and relaxing. It was everything that we were hoping for with a week away from home. Thank you for sharing this gem of a location with us.
We loved this house and but for a couple of really hot stagnant days we had gorgeous ocean breezes and comfortable temperatures to ocean gaze, play lawn games and cook family meals. On the hot days we ran away to Ogunquit Beach which was a nice beach with a nice town center nearby for lunch and ice cream. We will try to return soon!!
My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Tidepools with our entire family- eight of us all together. The home is extremely comfortable with plenty of room for all of us- four bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an outdoor shower were more than adequate. The kitchen is very well stocked and we enjoyed using all of the outdoor dinnerware. We had most of our meals outside at a lovely table for eight overlooking the cliffs and magnificent ocean. Views of Boone Island, Nubble Lighthouse, lobster boats and a gorgeous moon at night made for a perfect vacation for our family. We hope to be able to return again!
We rented the house for a Girl's weekend and it easily handled nine woman. Plenty of room to stretch out. Bedrooms were comfortable even the room with 4 twin beds. Only down side was I feel like there could have been more written instructions. Nothing about TV controls only to make sure we did not lose them. Tried to watch football one evening and couldn't get the cable to work. Also not much instructions on the heat. And with three bathrooms I would have thought there would have been three blow dryers, but there was only one. We would have brought some had we not anticipated two-three being there already. But those were small hurdles in an otherwise wonderful house!
Our families enjoyed a beautiful week of taking in the panoramic ocean views, exploring the tidal pools with our children and preparing lobster boils on the rocks at night. We were able to bike to the beach and to Perkin's Cove just a few short miles away yet find tranquility in this well appointed, cozy family home. We had a memorable family vacation.
We spent 3-days with our family in late summer - beautiful place & views, very clean and had all the accomodations we needed for a peaceful and relaxing time with our family. Our teenagers spent nearly everyday walking the rocks - much better than X-Box! We will be back next year.
My family spent 5 days in this fantastic home. It was such a beautiful and comfortable home. It is spacious, the amenities were perfect, the kitchen was stocked with everything you need, and decorated with modern comfort. The outdoor shower was a favorite! The view of the ocean is your backyard and we spent hours in the tide pools. No one wanted to leave. The owners were wonderful to work with and it was easy to travel up and down the southern coast of Maine to shop and eat. Honestly, the perfect way to spend some family time before we dropped our daughter off at The University of new Hampshire. We will definitely be back!
Our family spent a week here and we didnt want to leave! The accomodations are fabulous - contemporary, spacious and comfortable. The panoramic view of the ocean is spectacular, we found ourselves sitting outside by the rocks for hours! The location is private and yet you are minutes away from restaurants, shops and beaches. A real gem! We look forward to visiting again.
