Nice walk to downtown and Short Sands Beach. Bedrooms were large wuth lots of closets and dressers. We highly recommend this house for a family! Very accommodating hosts!

All we could ask for

Perfect Beach home for our family of 13. Had everything we needed, indoors and out. Nice large yard with a firepit to enjoy outdoor dinners and fireside chats and smores, of course! The walk to the beach was perfect, a nice distance to get a little exercise but still be close enough to the beach action. It is very nice that bikes were supplied, we took a morning ride to Nubble light. Thank you Mike and Pam for everything you do to provide a perfect family getaway.

Greff/Griffin Family Vacation

Flew in from ND on a Monday and out on a Friday. Filled our days with a train trip to Boston, whale watching in Portland, walks on Fisherman’s Trail and Marginal Way, and hanging on the beach. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 8. Not having to pack a crib, high chair, and toys was wonderful. Maple bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us.

You won’t be disappointed!

We have rented this house for 3 years. It’s in a great location, close to the shops and Short Sands. They provide towels, beach chairs, boogey boards, sand buckets and shovels, sand wagons, bikes…. There’s really so much they provide that it makes your vacation so much more relaxing that you don’t have to bring all the little things to make your vacation enjoyable. We couldn’t ask for a more stocked house close to everything! Pamela and Mike are amazing hosts and are quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We look forward to our stay for years to come!
