I wasn’t familiar with this area before our stay. I have to say we will definitely be back! What a lovely and relaxing trip. The views cannot be beat, the beach a short walk across the street was wonderful. This is a pet friendly place, and we had such fun on our walks on the beach and cool people/pet friendly path with an interesting past. The village up the street is completely charming and convenient. Communication with the host was an A.
The location of this property is beautiful! The house is very bright and spacious . With Beach access directly across the road the ocean is there whenever you want! Very peaceful in the evening watching the sunset over the Biddeford Pool!

We had a wonderful time at this house! It’s perfectly situated by the beach, just a stone’s throw away from the charming village of Biddeford Pool. You can even grab some fresh, steamed lobster at the grocery store there. The house offers breathtaking views of the sunset and the bay, and there’s plenty of great outdoor space for relaxation. Parking is also a breeze. The host is incredibly friendly and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We even had a travel massage for our anniversary, and this house was the perfect venue for it!
I absolutely loved staying at Sarah's cottage! It perfectly embodies quintessential coastal Maine style, with gorgeous views, breathtaking sunsets, and the beach right across the street. You can even hear the soothing sound of the ocean at night! I had never been to Biddeford Pool before, and I’m so happy I found this listing. I fell in love with both the town and this charming home. Sarah was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout my stay. I definitely plan on returning!
We just got back from spending a wonderful, long weekend at Bright Beach Cottage in Biddeford Pool! The cottage was cozy, convienient to the beach and had a great view! We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Ideal location. Entire house with everything you need and the beach decor makes you feel like you are on vacation. Unreal views all day. Show stopper is the sunsets. Beach right across the street. So many restaurants, gifts shops and community activities going on. This rental is a must!
We enjoyed our time at this lovely cottage, well furnished , perfect for our family and were able to bring our dog ( very hard to find pet friendly places to rent). Beautiful beach just minutes away.
Sarah , our host was very helpful , gave us great restaurant recommendations near by and was prompt with texts.
We hope to retun soon !
This is a beautiful property with peaceful water views and amazing easy beach access. We had a perfect weekend and just wish we had more time and could have stayed longer. Wonderful and responsive host. Highly recommend this property, especially if you want a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the water.

Stunning
Stunning views and well-equipped furnishings. Great property to be so perfectly located so close to the big beach and wonderful views on the deck. Nice bed linens and comfy mattresses. Everything you need right here in this gem of a cottage.
We had a fantastic weekend stay in Biddeford Pool...our first time in the area. The house was very clean inside, property host Sarah was very responsive on a few questions we had leading up to stay and the view is spectacular! Short walk to the beach was easy to do with young kids/baby and the neighborhood is walkable for an evening stroll as well. We'll definitely be back!
We had just the get-away we needed at Sarah's cottage. She could not have been more responsive whenever we had a question. The sound of the ocean on one side and the incredible sunsets on the other, with a perfect cross breeze through the cottage...wishing we were still there.
Happiness in paradise ! Beautifull views, well equipped cottage, best locatio in B pool, :-))
Great views of Biddeford pool, great views of the ocean, super bright apartment , 4 minutes walk to tjr beach. confortable , and large , very bright, we where 4 adults and one 6 weeks princess, for a memorable week! Thanks Sarah. Large, clean, well equipped, we will return , for sure.
This property was insanely beautiful. Views of the pool on one side, ocean on the other. Walk across the street to an amazing beach. It was so perfect!
Sarah was a great host, very helpful and communicative.
This rental was perfect in every way, we simply didn't want to leave.
Will definitely be back.
We are so grateful that we could spend our family summer vacation, this year, with our dog! To us, that was a plus. Going to Gilbert Boucher beach was only a few minutes walking, and that made it easy to go multiple times a day. It was great that we could walk our dog on the beach before 9AM and after 5PM, and go back again to do "boogie board" and play in the sand as often that we wanted! The cottage is also very near Goldwaith's store, it was fun to walk there in the evening to get an icecream, or going biking in the beautiful and quiet streets. We enjoyed the cottage's relaxing views on the Pool and the confortable beds.We really had a great time and would go back again.
Like everyone this year we needed to find a place to breathe and find some peace! Sarahs apartment was perfect . Comphy mattresses and a well stocked kitchen . The views were perfect and a 2 minute walk to the beach with our dogs . Looking forward to returning in tje summer . Thank you Sarah
The 2-mile beach was a few steps from the front door. We brought our dog who enjoyed running the sands till 9am and every evening. Easy walk to the local market and eatery. Biddeford Pool has a couple walkable bird sanctuaries and the town itself is very picturesque. The rental is on the second floor (18 stairs) which gets you above the hedges for a great view of the sunsets. While the space was a great size, the seating was somewhat awkward. We mostly sat at the table in the dining area in the evening and did painting/beading. It was a relaxing 6 days, which is what we wanted.
