Loved the location, it was the perfect size fit myself and my daughter stayed a couple of days too! The kitchen is terrific with a lovely view of the marsh.
Such a happy place to visit and stay!!
Place was very clean and well decorated. I had some minor concern about the floorboards being uneven under the laminate- this is a possible trip hazard. But the neighborhood was relatively quiet and I loved the view from the porch.
First time in Maine and we loved the laid back feel of the town, quiet area and view of the marsh out of the back door. Great stay for the two of us and the dog. Easy, short walk to the beach. We would love to come back when we’re back in Maine!

Perfectly situated, not too far from old orchard while being in a quiet neighborhood and close to the beach. However there were no curtains on the room window so the sun will wake you up early.
Great location in a quiet neighbourhood, beautiful appartment Fully equiped, 5 mins walk to the pine Point beach and 45 mins walk to OOB downtown. Great seafoods places and markets nearby. Highly recommand. Will surely go back afin.
Very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked, small apartment that is a close walk to the beach. Only complaints would be that the couch is extremely uncomfortable and there was no curtain on the sliding glass door. Enjoyed the marsh views. Already booked again in 2024.
The overall experience here was great. Justina was easy to communicate with. Check in process was easy, location is phenomenal extremely close to the beach, Less Than 3 minutes, and a short walk, less than 1 minute, from multiple restaurants / a convenience store
It's definitely a small apartment more suited for 2 to 4 adults, looking to have a weekend to themselves with a place to crash while they take in the surrounding area, than it was for my family of five with three small kids but we made it work.
I'd recommend renting here to anybody
We were traveling with our 1 year old puppy and this 2nd floor, renovated apartment was in a great location, just a block from the beach! Everything you could need was provided in this well stocked kitchen! We loved that everything was clean and new! We read some reviews and brought our own pet couch cover with us and that was perfect for keeping everything as clean as we found it! Didn't realize the apartment was on the second floor but the stairs were manageable.
Amazing marsh views. Just a few steps from the beach. A short walk to so many restaurants. The unit itself was super clean and exactly as advertised. The kitchen had EVERYTHING you could need and all of it was brand new. (Utensils, pans, pots, coffee maker w/filters, spices, spatulas, whisks etc) The bed was comfy. The A/C worked (it wasn’t super hot while we were there but we like to sleep with it on and it was perfect)
There was ample storage space and great beach chairs and towels. Definitely going to stay there again.
The only downside was the uncomfortable couch. 😬 But we don’t watch tv, so we had other places to sit and chat. The backyard Adirondack chairs were the perfect spot.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Pluses: Good location for easy beach access. Off street parking.Marsh view, bird sightings (late August). Clean rooms. Plenty of clean towels & washcloths. Air conditioner and fan were adequate for temperatures during our 1 wk stay; only needed for a couple of days. Minuses: Tub/ shower drained very slowly from day 1, then got progressively worse...think 3" of standing water at the end of a short shower. Tried a couple of times but failed to make contact with manager until after I'd solved the problem day 6 by taking the drain filter apart and cleaning out the accumulation of hair/gunk. Floors are uneven and seem soft in places; head of bed is perceptibly lower than the foot. Sunrise immediately floods the bedroom with bright sunlight; no shades or blinds on bedroom windows to soften that or to provide any privacy at night. Legs of couch are all lying on their sides, only 3 of the four are beneath the couch, so the 4th corner is on the floor and that end of the couch is quite uncomfortable. (It's not the same couch as is pictured in Vrbo). Unused pillows, bedlinens, blankets were piled on and covered half the bedroom closet floor. Our sheets looked old and worn, albeit clean.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were perfect. The walk to the beach was easy and we enjoyed taking our two little pups with us. We had good weather and we're looking forward to going back. Thanks so much!
We had a fabulous time, when I walked through the door it felt like home. It was quiet and very peaceful. The marsh was a beautiful view out the back and the walk to the beach was less than a 2 min walk away!
Apartment was exactly as pictured. Very clean. Had what we needed. Road sound a little loud, but not to the point where I wouldn’t come back. Cozy. Comfy.
Very nice property. Manager took a couple days to get back to questions. Stairs are a little unsteady and floors are uneven in unit, but location was great and it was supplied well and decorated very nicely.
Property has everything you need for a beach vacation
The property was clean, adorably decorated and had all the amenities we needed. Location was great, just a short walk to the beautiful beach and some restaurants. The ONLY negative is that the couch in the living room is very uncomfortable.
Lovely and very well appointed unit. Perfect for my wife and me. We have visited most of the beaches in the area and Pine Point is our favorite. Super convenient beach access. Don't miss dinner or drinks at Bayley's Bait Shed which is right down the street!
