Great seaside location
We were two couples look for a central location to visit Maine a d New Hampshire. We were not disappointed, house is right on the beach everything we needed plus more. Host responded quickly to all requests. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Four large bed rooms, great up stairs room where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine and watch the waves.

Great house, great spot for a quiet stay right on the beach!
This place will be perfect after a good spring cleaning, a few repairs and replacement of broken furniture. We really enjoyed our stay, but felt the gorgeous beach house needs a little love. Thank you for a great vacation in Biddeford. We loved the deck and view!

A Family getaway w/ Nana & Papa
My sister & I took my mother & father (Nana & Papa) on a trip to this beautiful house in April 2024. The house location was breathtaking & the house was amazing. The only small issue we had was the wear on the TV room table, chairs (I was nervous to have my 84 year old parents sit in them the legs were not sturdy) & the upstairs shower head started spraying every where by the 3rd day prior to that the shower was heaven. I just think making these small changes would make for a safer stay but I do want to say if we booked again we would absolutely book here. The contact was so FAST to respond & we absolutely would rebook here. Thank you for making our week w/ our parents so special!

An amazing house right on the ocean in Biddeford Pool
This is a fantastic house that I would highly recommend for several reasons. The view from the patio and the back room in the house might be the best view of the ocean in all of Biddeford Pool. The house is in immaculate condition and is well maintained by the owner. The beds in the house are all extremely comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of room plus the owner has provided everything you need for cooking and/or serving a meal. The owner is extremely nice and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be staying at the house in the near future.

We had a great time staying at Moonglow! The view is beautiful. We spent so much time on the upper balcony. It's a close drive to Portland, ME & Portsmouth, NH. Plenty of great restaurants and breweries nearby. We had 6 adults and 2 children, and had plenty of space to make the place feel like home for the long weekend! Perfect summer getaway!

Beautiful, Entertaining, and Fun
This house has everything you need for a wonderful vacation, and the view is spectacular. We had entertainment from surfers out front most days. Walking the beach and playing games on the expansive beach was great fun. The upstairs wet bar makes having an afternoon cocktail easy. The only downside is it is not so senior friendly. The stairs up and down were problematic at times. It was impossible for the senior members of our group to get to the beach because the walkway coming from the beach had no stairs or soft slope at all. It was too steep for shorter legs.The weather in Maine fluctuates a lot, so it would have been nice to have a way to block the rain from the deck or downstairs porch (a rollout sunshade perhaps. The wind kept blowing the gas grill light out, but we managed to cook out anyway. This house and its comfortable beds made it a wonderful trip for us. Tim came right away when we needed a battery for a remote. The house was well stocked with most everything we needed. We will return.

We’re hoping for a clean, comfortable, easy going trip to pick up our daughter from UNE and we got that at this property. Everything was perfect with the location, cleanliness, ease of check in and check out, the view was breathtaking, and a quick walk over sand dunes to gorgeous beach. We are hoping to rent this again, if it ever has availability.

Unbeatable Sunrises
We had the most beautiful stay at this property -- I was brought to tears by the sunrise view from the family room and deck the first morning we woke here. The house was warm and inviting, and the space comfortable. Thank you so much for hosting us, it was a much needed extended family New Years trip after a few difficult years.

Lage sonst nichts
Das Haus braucht DRINGEND eine Sanierung. Die Duschen sind eine Frechheit und die Größe der Badezimmer genauso. Die Couch erzählt Geschichten der letuten Jahrzehnte und die Betten sind durchgeritten. Am schlimmsten ist die Klimaanlage. Das Aussengerät lärmt so stark dasd praktisch kein Schlaf möglich ist. Zusammengefasst eine Katastrophe um viel Geld!!
