The Ship House on the Saco River with Hot Tub

This Ship House located at the former Marblehead shipyard was built to resemble the bow of a ship with floor to ceiling windows and two levels of wrap around porches. Located on a quiet street you'll enjoy the hot tub, listening to the sounds of nature and watching as the sailboats pass through. Walk down to the boat launch next door to launch your boat or use the provided kayaks to explore the Saco River or if its raining stay in and play in the game room. This home is 5 minutes to downtown Biddeford, 15 to Kennebunkport, or 25 to Portland.

Booked this property for a get together with college friends and couldn't be happier with my choice! Very clean and very functional for any type of stay. Great location- 30 mins to Portland and not far from downtown Biddeford. Would stay here again!

Beautiful location for all ages

Eight of us stayed here for two nights in late August. We all live in Maine and we ranged in age from 5 to 75. The house was perfect. Plenty of room for everybody and there is even a game room, much to everyone's delight. We chose this location so we could be near the water and also to Funtown. We love to cook and the kitchen is very well equipped. Ian was the perfect host and responded immediately to any questions I had. Highly recommended!
