Beachside Family Getaway! 3 Doors From Beach Access. Fantastic!!!!

Welcome to Sea Escape! Wonderfully decorated and renovated. Third house from the beach. Very spacious. It's never looked this good!

You will love this newly renovated cottage, 'Sea Escape'. It is so close to the ocean, the beach will feel like it's in your front yard. The beach is only stone's throw from the front door. Once on the beach you will find a majestic, panoramic view of 9 islands (one with a lighthouse), Saco River inlet with a jetty to climb on and fish from, etc. If you have a boat, bring it!

(Have another family that wants to join you? We have another rental that shares the driveway. See it here: vrbo #395829)

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!

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 the short walk to the beach.

It looks small from the outside, but it is over 1500 sq. feet. Completely furnished and renovated with washer/dryer. It is an all season 4 bedroom home, air conditioning and wood floors, fully applianced kitchen.

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

Thanks! Hope you get to enjoy Maine this summer!

I DONT WANT TO GIVE IT A GOOD REVIEW BECAUSE MORE WILL COME!

Such an amazing vacation! Quiet, relaxing, perfect for the family and a safe swim place for young kids! Fishing, paddle boarding, close to tourist locations if you want but also away from all the hustle and bustle. Really don’t want to give it a perfect review because we will always want to come back!!

Amazing Place & So Much To Do!!!

What an absolutely amazing vacation!! There were 10 of us for a family reunion and had the best time making new memories. Everything from the planning, communication, booking, coordination, accommodations, amenities, location, property, neighbors, and the BEACH were nothing short of spectacular. We had everything we needed and there was plenty of room for everyone and a variety of things to do from beach time, games, spaces for afternoon naps, plenty of places to walk and jog. We will definitely be back!!!

Wonderful house and perfect location.

This is our second year to vacation in this house. It felt like arriving home when we got there. Such a comfortable and spacious house. We loved being so close to the ocean and being able to walk the beach anytime we felt like it. Also, since it is a semi-private beach, we were often alone there. What a wonderful piece of heaven on earth.

Perfect house for a family vacation

This was the perfect location for a family vacation. The house is located on a very quiet dead-end street and the neighbors we met were very friendly. The house itself was very clean and more spacious than we had expected. We had great weather the week we stayed making it possible to have most of our meals at the table in the back yard. We especially liked being only a few steps from the beach making it possible to go there anytime we felt like it and to enjoy awesome sunrises and sunsets. We are looking forward to spening another vacation here.

Hills Beach Haven is Heaven

Hills Beach is our new favorite beach location. The house is so close to the beach that we truly felt like we were staying right on the ocean! The house itself is a great size, and our large group never felt as if we didn’t have our own space. We can not wait to return to the house and to Hills Beach. We recommend taking a walk through the quaint town in the am before spending the day at the beach!

Fantastic Family and Friends Beach Vacation

Sea Escape turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It is located on a nice quiet road. The inside of the house is so much roomier then it looks and is quite comfortable, very clean and all we could have hoped for. We all loved to sit in the front porch in the morning. We have been vacationing at Hills Beach for over 25 years and were happy to find Sea Escape since our families are growing and it met all our needs. It is a very short walk to the beautiful and quiet beach. I can not say enough about Jonathan and Carrie who were always available to answer any question we had. We’ve already booked for next year. Thanks for a great worry free place for us to vacation.

Awesome vacation spot!

We loved staying at Sea Escape! The location is amazing and a very short walk to the beach. It's also very close to the channel / harbor - and we brought our own paddle boards and had so much fun here. The low tides were a lot of fun for the kids. The beach is not busy at all. The house was the perfect size for us and we really enjoyed the porches in the front and back of the house. We'd love to come back soon!

Great Family Beach Vacation

Our family of 6 (plus our dog) stayed here in August 2019. The house was perfect for our family's needs, and everything that a beach house should be! It was very comfortable and everyone had plenty of space. Location is great - nice quiet neighborhood and no busy roads to cross to get to the beach. The beach itself is beautiful, nicely kept and not too crowded. The water is clean, clear and the waves are very gentle thanks to the jetty, so we didn't have to worry about any kids getting knocked over. Dogs are allowed on the beach before 8 or 9am and after 5pm, which ours really enjoyed (it was his first time on a beach), and the backyard was a great spot for him to roam around on his lead without disturbing anybody. We also enjoyed the backyard ourselves, the evenings were perfect fire pit weather :) Overall, we would be very happy to stay here again. My one suggestion is to bring dish towels - there weren't any at the house so we ended up buying some because I hated to use up so many paper towels drying off dishes.

Wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful vacation! Home was super clean and comfortable with way more than enough enough space for 2 adults, 3 teens and an 11 year old. The beach was just steps away, convenience store within walking distance. Being able to bring our old dog meant a lot to us too as she won’t be around much longer. We had a great vacation and hope to be back in the future! Thank you for renting your beautiful beach home to us!

Nice, Comfortable house so close to the beach!

The house is much roomier on the inside than it looks from the outside. My family was quite comfortable. The beach was such a close walk and perfect for our young children. Older children might be bored if they are looking for big waves. The neighbor hood was peaceful and the neighbors were all friendly and welcoming. Jonathan and Carrie always responded quickly to all my questions and were so easy to work with. No surprises as everything was exactly how it was described!

Great location, practically private beach.

The house is in a great location. It's a quiet beach neighborhood, but only 15-20 minutes away from Old Orchard and lots of other activities with little traffic on the way. And of course it's literally a 1 minute walk to the beach. The beach is great for young kids who want to collect shells (at low tide you can walk hundreds of feet out) and make castles. Also great if you want to just hang out and relax as most days there was hardly anyone around. But if you have older kids who want to boogie board they'll be disappointed as there are no real waves; the beach is protected by a breakwater. We had two adults, three kids and a dog and there was plenty of room for all, we never felt cramped. The backyard was ready to go for a campfire with plenty of wood stacked. The interior is dated and a bit worn but clean. The kitchen was well stocked. If I had any complaints it would be the hard bed in the master bedroom, which left both my wife and I waking up sore. It would also be nice to have a larger propane grill to BBQ on instead of the small charcoal grill that is in the back. Overall the location makes up for any of these minor nitpicks.
