Welcome to Maddox Pond, where you and yours will unplug and unwind in all the sunny summertime splendor that coastal Maine has to offer. Our 3-bedroom 2-bath cabin/beach cabin home sits on a lush, private acre overlooking the tidal estuaries of the legendary Biddeford Pool. A 5-minute walk down the picturesque gravel road brings you to Fortune Rocks Beach, one of our state’s most gorgeous and expansive strips of sand, sunshine, and waves.

The house itself is a raised ranch withthe feel of a beach cabin set among the trees. Our home features hardwood floors, spacious bedrooms, and a bright dining room with vaulted ceilings. Add more capacity in the community sleeping area in the bright cool basement. Grill to your heart’s content on our raised deck, or enjoy our newly renovated kitchen with appliances ready for your best summertime meal concoctions.

Families love Maddox Pond for the dozens of adventures and outings that abound: from relaxing and playing on the beach, to exploring the tidal pools, to enjoying walks and birding in the nearby Maine Audubon East Point Sanctuary. Bring your bicycles and cruise down to Pool Lobster Co. for a lobster roll, or head over to explore Timber Island Nature Preserve or any of the stunning vistas of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Rent a kayak, surfboard, or windsurfer from one of the local outfitters, or sign up for a sunset guided tour.

For those itching to explore Southern Maine, a 10-minute drive will deliver you into downtown Biddeford, a former milltown that is now home to one of Maine’s most burgeoning arts, craft beer, and food scenes. Grab a cone at Sweet Cream Dairy, pick up a six pack at Banded Horn Brewery, check out an exhibit at Engine Arts, sip a signature cocktail at Magnus on the Water, or enjoy a meal at Elda, rated One of America’s Best New Restaurants. In the other direction, 15 minutes south of Maddox Pond, is world-famous Kennebunkport, and 30 minutes to the north will bring you to Portland with its countless eateries and island adventures.

Maddox Pond is a truly unique experience that combines a classic Maine beach getaway with privacy and instant access to the best nature and water recreation that coastal Maine has to offer.

    We had a great winter stay! This is a beautiful house - clean, warmly but simply decorated, gorgeous views of woods, Maine marsh, and a sliver of ocean in the distance. We went to Fortune Rocks beach daily and loved the sauna.

    Great place to stay!!! The house had a great layout for families. The bedrooms were spacious. The kitchen also had plenty of room to make meals. It was an easy walk down to a very pretty beach!

    Lovely, comfortable house for six of us (two couples, two kids 12 and 14) and an easy, shady walk of less than 10 minutes to one of the nicest beaches in Maine. And Wolff Lobster is a quick 4 minute drive away and have great lobsters. Easy check-in, good communication, no troubles at all. We had a great time!

    This was our first VRBO experience. The hosts of this property communicated well, and answered all of my newbie VRBO questions. They sent a text message to check on us at the time of our arrival, to make sure we arrived safely and to confirm that we were satisfied with the condition of the property. We found the home to be clean, comfortable and well maintained. Kitchen had all the necessary kitchen items for our stay. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Sheets and towels were nice. Washer and dryer work well. We used the outdoor gas grill one night, and it worked perfectly. It’s about a 7 to 8 minute walk to the beach on a very quiet road. We experienced no negative issues during our stay. We will definitely try to stay at this property again when our travels bring us back to the Biddeford Pool area.
