All we could ask for

Perfect Beach home for our family of 13. Had everything we needed, indoors and out. Nice large yard with a firepit to enjoy outdoor dinners and fireside chats and smores, of course! The walk to the beach was perfect, a nice distance to get a little exercise but still be close enough to the beach action. It is very nice that bikes were supplied, we took a morning ride to Nubble light. Thank you Mike and Pam for everything you do to provide a perfect family getaway.

This house was perfect. Seriously, we wouldn’t change a thing. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The layout worked really well for our group, and every room felt well thought out. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax.We’ve rented a lot of places over the years, and this one really stood out. It just felt easy. The hosts clearly put care into the details, beach gear, bikes, a grill, a fire pit, plenty of towels and linen, it was all there. We didn’t have to run out for anything.The location was great too. It’s close to Short Sands but still felt quiet and tucked away. We could walk to everything without feeling like we were in the middle of the crowds.Communication with the host was quick and friendly. Check-in was simple and everything was exactly as described, maybe even better. I saw other reviews that mentioned how well taken care of the place is and I totally agree. It’s clear they’ve been doing this a while and know what makes a rental actually enjoyable.Bottom line: this is one of those rare vacation rentals where everything just clicks. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

You won’t be disappointed!

We have rented this house for 3 years. It’s in a great location, close to the shops and Short Sands. They provide towels, beach chairs, boogey boards, sand buckets and shovels, sand wagons, bikes…. There’s really so much they provide that it makes your vacation so much more relaxing that you don’t have to bring all the little things to make your vacation enjoyable. We couldn’t ask for a more stocked house close to everything! Pamela and Mike are amazing hosts and are quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We look forward to our stay for years to come!

Greff/Griffin Family Vacation

Flew in from ND on a Monday and out on a Friday. Filled our days with a train trip to Boston, whale watching in Portland, walks on Fisherman’s Trail and Marginal Way, and hanging on the beach. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 8. Not having to pack a crib, high chair, and toys was wonderful. Maple bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us.

There are two garages separating you from the other unit and noise was never an issue at all. Lots of parking and walking distance to the beach, shops and lots of places to eat or enjoy live music.

Fabulous House to Rent

You cannot go wrong by booking a house owned by Mike and Pam. We have stayed at their properties for 3 years and already booked our vacation at 52B for next year! The house and amenities are gorgeous. The owners are friendly and respond back to you very quickly. We had 3 generations of family (from 7 months to 74 years) and we all had a great time!

Outstanding response by owners

We have stayed at this cottage a couple of other times and obviously love it! It is beautifully decorated, has everything you need for a perfect vacation. This was the first time we have ever had an issue, the AC broke during a heat wave. Mike and Pam went above and beyond and responded within minutes of us notifying them. They had a service team down immediately assessing the issue as well as preparing and providing multi back up window ac units for all rooms. AC was replaced and they continued to monitor to be sure all was fine. Another reason we enjoy renting from them!
