We had a great family getaway at Saco Sanctuary. Set in a quiet neighborhood but still close enough to the beach to head in daily.
Our stay was wonderful. This home was decorated so nicely. The communication was great and fun. Would for sure stay again and tell everyone to stay here. Awsome!!!

Reviewer Comments:
Everything was terrific apart from these 3 issues: The description said there were 2 double beds in the 2nd bedroom but there was only 1, there was no closet in the master bedroom and the roll away bed provided was not usable- thin foam pad and frame falling apart
The house is lovely and we enjoyed the view of Molasses Pond. The kitchen is well stocked and towels were clean and plentiful. As seniors and unfamiliar with Maine, the location is a bit remote although that seems to be common in Maine. We loved the house but the adorable second bedroom is obviously more suitable for children than a couple. One of us slept on the sofa which, fortunately, was comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.Susan responded immediately to our questions and we appreciated that. Thank you!
The home was very clean and close to the beach. The only issue was the full/queen size bed was very uncomfortable, so bad that my brother had to sleep on the couch. A comfortable mattress should be purchased. That is the only issue.

This rental home was beautiful and very clean. We were very comfortable during our stay. Great that it is located on quiet street and close to beaches. We loved the table set on the deck and enjoyed the fire pit nightly.We were looking forward to sitting on the balcony off the master bedroom, but the sliding glass door was not working and no furniture so we assumed it was in need of repairs. It also would have been nice to have a small A/C unit in the small bedroom as the ceiling fan was not able to keep it cool in the room. That said, the kids really did not care :)Overall this was a great place to spend a week in Maine in July - thank you!!
The communication with Costal Maine Vacations was great! Any question, any request was responded to within minutes. Solely, the guest screening was a bit difficult for a guest from Germany as an address was requested but there was no possibility to add an address in Germany. So I used my American friends' address.
We really enjoyed the house and property. The place is just lovely, clean, very well equipped. I wished to have more time to stay.
The only downside were some of the towels that smelled real mouldy. But we managed to get rid of the malodour by using the brand new washing machine and dryer.
And we laughed out loud when we had read the departure instructions, a unique and great way to say goodbye.
Merci pour ce beau séjour, nous avons passé de merveilleux moments en famille. La maison est parfaitement situé. Nous allions à la plage en vélo ou même à pied. Idéal pour 6 personnes. La maison est bien équipé. Excellente communication avec les propriétaires . À bientôt !
Thank you for this wonderful stay, we had a wonderful time as a family. The house is perfectly located. We went to the beach by bike or even on foot. Ideal for 6 people. The house is well equipped. Very good communication with host.See you soon!
