The outside staircase is a bit sketchy-looking, but don’t let it fool you. The apartment is lovely, seems recently renovated and is very well-equipped for cooking. Beautiful Pine Point Beach is an easy two-block walk and there are a couple good restaurants within easy driving distance even off-season.

Loved it!

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!

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.

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

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.

Last minute couple of days on the beach

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

Beautiful and clean apartment

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.

What a perfect spot

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.

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.

This was my second time staying at Serene Pine Point Escape. It's within walking distance to the beach in a safe and quiet area of Maine. The marsh view is absolutely stunning And being able to bring the family dog is a major plus. The back yard marsh side is perfect for being outside with a dog and or bird watching...The bedroom is comfortable and clean. We slept well and felt safe and cozy. The kitchen is stocked with all the necessities for cooking and cleaning. And bathroom was clean and cozy for relaxing.There are a fair amount of steps to get to the second level so that is the only thing to mention for older people or families or anyone with mobility problems. Thank you! From 72 & 42 family dog/s

It was very comfortable and neighbors were friendly and quiet!I appreciated the extras in the cabinets:kitchen supplies and coffee and tea until I was able to get to the storeThe ride over was snowy and slow so it was nice not to run out for those items!The only suggestion I would make is the comforter had a bit of a smell and maybe could use a wash? I took it off the bed and used the amazing blanket!
