We were in town for a wedding and had a great stay at Phil and Brenda’s! They greeted us upon arrival and the home was peaceful, quiet and private. Our morning hot tub was great too. Thanks for a great weekend!
Great stay, easy communication, clean quarters. A B&B feel as the accommodations are in an upstairs of the house over the garage / living area. Good location.
I feel very lucky to have found this VRBO listing. Brenda and Phil were great hosts and the property is so nice and welcoming.The rooms are nicer than can be captured in the photos, and everything is rather luxurious and comfortable.The location is awesome, as it's right by UNE (I went swimming there; very nice pool and facility), and close enough to beaches, and a short drive from Kennebunk.I'd definitely stay here again, and would recommend to friends and family.
Clean, quiet, excellent location near UNE and Biddeford Beaches
My wife, our two teenagers, and I enjoyed a week-long Maine vacation here. It was very clean, very quiet, and very conveniently located. EXTREMELY quiet and secluded location while still very close to everything you'd want to visit in the area.
This was our second week-long stay here with our family of four during the summer. We plan on returning next year as well. Quiet location, accessible to everything, and exactly the size space that our family needed.
We were in Biddeford visiting our daughter who is a freshman at UNE. Loved the property and the location being walking distance to campus made for a wonderful visit. Already planning our next stay for move in for the Fall Semester!
Brenda and Phil are great hosts!! Their hospitality is unmatched and all of the little touches didn't go unnoticed. The rental is close to great food and shopping, we even took day trips into Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We definitely enjoyed our stay!!
Thank you to Phil and Brenda to have shared with us their little paradise 😊 The place is well located in a quiet area, the courtyard is a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers, a terrasse and a jacuzzi and the appartment was perfect to accomodate a family of four and well decorated.
This is our third time staying at Brenda and Phil’s and they are just so sweet. It’s like staying with your grandma and grandpa. They go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and happy and have everything you need. We’ll be back next year for year 4!
We loved our stay at Brenda and Phil's home! They were so welcoming to us and made every effort to make the stay comfortable and memorable for us. Just like many of the other reviews state, it truly is like staying at your grandparents house and the property was truly so beautiful and the perfect spot for us to stay as we explored so many gorgeous towns on Maine's southern coast. The rooms were so spacious and communication was seamless if we ever needed any extra supplies etc. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you Brenda and Phil for making our Maine trip truly unforgettable!
I had a weekend course scheduled at UNE. I could not ask for better lodging. 100% perfect. Clean, beautiful, comfortable. Only 1/3 mi from the campus which was an easy walk (and a better choice since they have parking issues at UNE). I took an easy walk to the trail at Rachel Carson as well. Hot tub - early morning watching the dawn break - serene. Perfect hosts.
My first visit to Maine. Friends of mine vacation in Maine annually. They were lodging nearby. The Johnsons' home is beautiful. Their son did an awesome job designing the structure. I particularly enjoyed the AC. The two room suite was just the right size. Thank you for being the perfect hosts! Definitely will consider this property again when I return to Maine.
I was thrilled to find this lovely rental when I was planning our trip to Biddeford Pool, Maine. The property was tucked away surrounded by a beautiful background of trees. It was easy to find, well situated, and very roomy for me and my 3 adult children. The unit was very clean and nicely appointed (very New England) and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay (the second bathroom was a bonus for sure!). Our hosts were wonderful - friendly, easy going and accommodating. Should I find myself returning to Biddeford Pool in the future, I would definitely rent this beautiful unit again.
I was visiting family who goes to UNE and you cannot be closer to campus than this. That being said, it was also impressively well isolated from the noise you would associate with a college campus. Every morning we would wake up and see the beautiful marsh behind the property, and not think we were a 2 minute drive from college dorms.
The accomodations were excellent, we had plenty of room to ourselves for our stay The hosts have tons of recommendations for any sort of venue you may be looking for.
All in all, a wonderful stay, and I will be visiting again!
This was not the first time we’ve stayed at Brenda & Phil’s home and won’t be the last. They’re so thoughtful and caring and out such detail into their home. It is like you’re staying at your grandparents’ home because the space you’re in is connected to their house, but a separate entrance. They like to make sure you’re happy and comfortable. Every amenity you could imagine is there and we’ll be back yet again next year.
We had a fabulous visit. Our cozy room had a dedicated shower, coffee, snacks and comfortable seating. The room across was also great and roomy and had a fridge and additional snacks. Our hostess and host were delightful and so helpful. We felt every little detail had been addressed. The outside grounds were beautiful and the hot tub was so relaxing amidst the fruit trees and flowers. We will definitely stay here again. Although it was just my husband and myself we could have had 2 other adults with us in the opposite room which had a large couch and two twin beds. The beach was close by car and as we were visiting family it was a perfect cozy retreat for us.
We stayed here for 2 night (2 adults & 2 teens). Brenda and Phil were extremely accommodating! We were driving from Mystic and the weather forecast was horrible rain and storms. We left early to get ahead of it so I messaged and asked if we could check in early. Brenda got back to me very quickly and they were able to accommodate us. When we arrived Brenda greeted us and showed us around. She goes above and beyond! There were bagels, snacks, juice, candies, etc. left for us. She even asked if there was anything specific that my kids would eat. Everything was very clean and comfortable. It was perfect for what we needed. I would highly recommend!
We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was staying with Benda and Phil (and Ollie). From the remote setting, to the quiet upstairs apartment, this truly had everything we needed for 9 days.
Brenda has decorated with the traveler in mind. Sleeping area was separate from the "living" area. We utilized the small desk to use our laptop, and overall had plenty of space to spread out. The window blind on remote control was great in the mornings, there were plenty of blankets, pillows, pool towels and even bath robes. The snacks they supplied were perfect to get our mornings started (bagels, cream cheese, muffins, jams, peanut butter, OJ.....).
Brenda and Phil have full lives, and stay busy, but were always happy to take a break from their yard work to chat with us and to hear about our day and future travel plans. We try to get to this area at least once per year, and look forward to staying here again.
We had a great stay with Brenda. It was like staying with a friend. The rooms were extremely comfortable and Brenda provided us with so many extras that made the stay wonderful. I highly recommend this stay.
