About this property

Everyone loves this completely renovated 2-bedroom cottage 'High View', with a view of the Saco inlet and is just a stone's throw from one of Maine's best rated beaches! It is located on a side street and next to the mouth of the Saco River!

We also have a 3 br home next door which we also rent if you need to accommodate multi families. See here vrbo #370618

Wonderfully decorated and renovated. Third property from the beach. New windows in 2015, completely resided the outside in 2016, painted the inside in May 2017, brand new flooring in 2018.

Hill's Beach is very quiet and just far enough to get away from all the tourist beaches. For the most part, the only people who frequent this area of beach are those who live on the street, approximately 10 houses. So the large, sandy beach is almost all yours!

With an outside shower, you can rinse off with warm water after coming up from the beach!

If you have kids (like our family), you will enjoy the peace of mind being on a side street with very little traffic and the large yard for the kids to run and play while they wait for you to go to the beach. Once on the beach you will find a majestic, panoramic view of islands and a jetty...It is fabulous!

Note: Linens are not provided. Signed rental agreement must be submitted after booking.

Thanks! Hope you get to enjoy Maine this summer!

Perfect spot

Absolutely perfect for our annual family vacation! The house had everything we needed, was in a great location with ample parking. The beach was amazing, it was so quiet and relaxing. It was exactly what we imagined and more!

Ideal property for small family

Great location. Steps from beach access. Quiet neighborhood. Property was ideal for a small family with kids. The ability to have a washer and dryer accessible was a big plus.

Beach Escape

Wonderful overall experience staying at this property. We had quite a few cloudy, foggy days during our stay. We were grateful this property had plenty of amenities to keep us comfortable as we spent more time inside than planned given the weather. We hope to return to this spot in the future to enjoy sunnier days!

Comfortable and in a great location!

Great experience and wonderful location. Owner’s were super easy to work with. Just a very short walk to the beach. Beach is super family friendly. Nice porch to watch the sun set. Would be happy to return.

About the host

I grew up at Hills Beach!

Why they chose this property

I (Jonathan) grew up down the road. I still have family is up there that lives down the street. Our family loves coming up for a couple weeks every summer. It's a great get-a- way. So peaceful. Not a lot of distractions which creates great family time!

The smell of salt in the air, playing on the beach, fishing, swimming, walking to the island and regrouping as a family are our highlights.
