Fortunes Rocks Cottage | 'Palace' Oceanfront, Picturesque Cove & Semiprivate Beach

2 Bedroom Cottage in Fortunes Rocks, Biddeford

A sweet cottage at the best location ever!!!
Waterfront cottage on sheltered cove--rocks, sand, sea glass! Wonderful views of rocky coast from open deck and sitting room with huge windows! Watch Lobster Boats come into cove to tend their traps! Best of both worlds: beside Short Beach plus short walk to Long Public Beach for surfing or running with the sea at your feet and wind in your hair! Water in every direction.
Character: delightful diamond-pane old windows and antiques.
House on the same property also has incredible ocean views, in case other family members or friends want to be nearby. See HomeAway #961056.
Internet (wifi), Cable TV, Books.
Size: 660 sq ft + deck 10x12 + screened porch 8x12.
The beautiful white sand beaches of Biddeford offer a getaway vacation that you will want to return to every summer--and this cottage offers the perfect spot. Enjoy watching sparkling water and waves breaking on the rocks, from the comfort of your living room or deck. Wade in the sheltered waters on the small beach just a few steps away, or stroll down to jump in the waves on the 3-mile-long beach just over the hill--Fortunes Rocks is known for its beaches, and surfers visit all year!
The quiet small beach and the splashing public beach are as different as night and day, and this house is one of the very few giving you the best of both.
Stroll out into the yard and enjoy the flowers, then step onto the beach to explore rock pools at the edge of the sea. Sit on the beach with the light breeze and the sand between your toes--the kids can make sand castles in the fresh salty air.
Town is only a few minutes away, where you can discover that the historic districts of Biddeford and Saco provide delightful walks. New development has brought cafes (including Panera Bread!) and ethnic restaurants. The mills have been transformed by artisans, woodworkers and many small businesses in the new loft spaces on the island in the Saco River. History and architecture buffs will enjoy the “Museum on the Streets” self-guided walking tour. Scenic river views may be enjoyed from trails, a gazebo and benches.
Funtown, Aquaboggin, & shopping malls are nearby: To the north, there is Old Orchard (15 minutes), Portland (a half hour), and Freeport's LL Bean store just beyond. To the south, Boston is an hour and a half, Kennebunkport just 15 minutes, and the shopping at Kittery Outlet Malls in between.
Boater's paradise: there is a boat launch on the Saco River; kayak rentals for the river/salt marshes to the north/the ocean! There are lobster boats, fishing boats, boats to whale-watch!
Artists paint islands and lighthouses at Biddeford Pool, and visit galleries from Perkins Cove to Kennebunkport.
Naturalists can walk the beach, the salt marshes, woods, and fields, watching for birds, chipmunk, woodchuck, beaver, fox, wild turkey, deer, moose, ... Bigfoot?!!? Well, what's a summer without a little adventure? Maine is Vacationland, and the 'Palace' at Fortunes Rocks has the best location of all.
Near shopping, arts, theatre, antiques, book sales, whale watch, fishing, kayaking, lobster!
Perfect for just resting and rejuvenating in the salty air!
Getting there: Apart from driving, or flying to Boston (BOS) or Porland (PWM), you could even come by train! The new Amtrak station, opened in 2009, is notable for being the first green design train station in the U.S., featuring a wind turbine for electricity, geothermal heating and cooling systems, and a roof made from recycled soda bottles.
N.B. Not available in winter, since the pipes cannot be winterized.

Summary: So much potential in this Diamond in the rough. As a lover of old homes, the bones are great, but needs a lot of TLC. Furniture stained/ worn and outdoor furniture rusted and dysfunctional / towels smell like washer needs to be cleaned but location , Suzanne, the screened porches all divine:-) Kitchen is well stocked with pans/ pots and appointed with odds and ends like a college dorm thrift store. For 830 for three nights, maybe splurge on a really nice couch cover and nice chairs:-)

Summary: Cute little cottage, perfect size for two adults without children. It was quiet and felt private yet not remote (people walked by, etc.). Bedrooms are very small so we slept in one and kept our clothes/got dressed in the other. Loved the screened in porch with the garden view as an option to the open deck on the ocean side, it was a nice place to eat meals and play games. Great view of the water, rocks with the birds, tide coming and going on the small beach ... all 'right there'!

Summary: We had a few cleanliness issues when we arrived. We found mouse droppings throughout the cottage. We found many dirty dishes, glasses, and utensils dirty. Coffee area had dried coffee on counter. We had to remove the couch cover due to dog hair all over it. Suzanne was extremely good about communicating with us and addressed our issue regarding the mice. A property manager came over and fixed a screen door and put mice traps out. Prior to our visit, Suzanne provided us with lots of information regarding Biddeford and attractions. This cottage is very rustic and could use a few upgrades/TLC. Beds/mattress are very old. It may be time for new ones. The cottage is cute, and in a great location.
