About this cottage rental

If the dates that you want are taken, please be aware that the smaller cottage (the Palace/la MerVeille) still has availability, so please do ask me about that. Thank you!
Waterfront cottage on sheltered cove--rocks, sand, sea glass! Incredible Views of rocky coast from open deck + 3 rooms with huge windows, incl. bedroom! Eat while watching Lobster Boats come into cove to tend their traps! Best of both worlds: beside Short Beach plus short walk to Long Public Beach for surfing or running with the sea at your feet and wind in your hair! Water in every direction.

Character: delightful diamond-pane old windows, French doors
Smaller cottage towards back of property also has ocean views, in case other family members or friends want to be nearby. See HomeAway #3469463 .
Internet, Spectrum TV, Books, Children's Books, Puzzles, Games.

The beautiful white sand beaches of Biddeford offer a getaway vacation that you will want to return to every summer--and this cottage offers the perfect spot. Enjoy watching sparkling water and waves breaking on the rocks, from the comfort of your living room or deck. Wade in the sheltered waters on the small beach just a few steps away, or stroll down to jump in the waves on the 3-mile-long beach just over the hill--Fortunes Rocks is known for its beaches, and surfers visit all year!
The quiet small beach and the splashing public beach are as different as night and day, and this house is one of the very few giving you the best of both.
One very special bedroom has huge windows looking out over the cove and beach, for peaceful sunrise and glorious sunsets. What could be more romantic than watching the moon cross the sky with moonlight glittering on the water below!
Eat with a view of the cove, in the south porch with its huge windows like in the bedroom above. Better than any fancy restaurant!
Sip your tea on the open deck overlooking the cove and beach.
Stroll out into the yard and enjoy the flowers, then step down the wooden ramp onto the beach to explore rock pools at the edge of the sea. Sit on the beach with the light breeze and the sand between your toes--the kids can make sand castles in the fresh salty air.
Town is only a few minutes away, where you can discover that the historic districts of Biddeford and Saco provide delightful walks. New development has brought cafes (including Panera Bread) and ethnic restaurants. The mills have been transformed by artisans, woodworkers, and many small businesses in the new loft spaces on the island in the Saco River. History and architecture buffs will enjoy the “Museum on the Streets” self-guided walking tour. Scenic river views may be enjoyed from trails, a gazebo, and benches.
Funtown, Aquaboggin, & shopping malls are nearby: To the north, there is Old Orchard (15 minutes), Portland (a half hour), and Freeport's LL Bean store just beyond. To the south, Boston is an hour and a half, Kennebunkport just 15 minutes, and the shopping at Kittery in between.
Boater's paradise: there is a boat launch on the Saco River; kayak rentals for the river/salt marshes to the north/the ocean! There are lobster boats, fishing boats, boats to whale-watch!
Artists paint islands and lighthouses at Biddeford Pool, and visit galleries from Perkins Cove to Kennebunkport.
Naturalists can walk the beach, the salt marshes, woods, and fields, watching for birds, chipmunk, woodchuck, beaver, fox, wild turkey, deer, moose, ... Bigfoot?!!? Well, what's a summer without a little adventure? Maine is Vacationland, and 'Sea Haven' at Fortunes Rocks has the best location of all.
Near shopping, arts, theatre, antiques, book sales, whale watch, fishing, kayaking, lobster!
Perfect for just resting and rejuvenating in the salty air!
See the Milky Way and a sky full of stars from our yard or deck, then sleep with the sound of the gentle waves and the smell of the salt air.
Getting there: Apart from driving, or flying to Boston (BOS) or Porland (PWM), you could even come by train! The Amtrak station, opened in 2009, is notable for being the first green design train station in the U.S., featuring a wind turbine for electricity, geothermal heating and cooling systems, and a roof made from recycled soda bottles.

The beach was great, and the house and beaches were very pet friendly. The deck has a great sunset view. The driveway was a bit tricky for a Suburban, but the drivers in the neighborhood were patient and respectful. I felt safe walking in the area. The house is overdue for a thorough deep clean of walls, floors, baseboards so that may be what some of the other reviews were negative about. Bathrooms, sinks, counters, tables were clean. It was a peaceful, relaxing location which was everything I needed.

We would have liked newer towels, washcloths, dish towels. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of blankets to keep us warm. The view was beautiful and overall we had a great stay!
