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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Adorable Space

A great space for a weekend getaway with the spouse/partner! Cozy without feeling cramped, very nice kitchen space, comfortable bed. Nicely decorated and stocked with all the necessary basics. Our short stay unfortunately coincided with some unseasonably cold and wet weather, but it was the perfect place to hunker down and relax.Great location with a short walk to the beach and The Clambake restaurant (plus a few other places if you’re going in season). Nice view of the marsh out the back sliding doors.If you pack heavy or have any mobility issues, just be aware that it can feel like a good climb to this second floor unit.Unit owner was excellent to deal and communicate with. Was responsive when a minor issue arose and helped resolve it in a timely manner.

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.
