Another great stay at The Nook
The Nook once again was a perfect location for our summer vacation. The Nook itself is perfect for a couple, and its a short walk to the beach.

Another excellent week at Higgins
Once again, The Nook provided perfect accommodations for the week my wife and I enjoyed at Higgins Beach. The Nook was spotless, provided what we needed and is a stone's throw from the beach. As always, it was hard to leave Higgins after a spending an excellent week there.

The Nook
My husband and I loved our stay at The Nook, it was very relaxing. Communication was excellent, the apartment was clean, comfortable, kitchen was well equipped to meet our needs. We enjoyed walking to Higgins Market for a cup of coffee in the mornings. The location was great for day trips to Kennebunkport & Portland. The best part-it was quiet so we slept well & the short walk to the beach was fantastic! We look forward to returning.

Perfect Stay
I stayed at The Nook for 6 nights, the first night my husband was there and rest of the week I was on my own, working remotely and seeing my son who works in Portland. The location of The Nook perfect in its proximately to Portland, and of course the 2 minute walk to get to the beach just couldn't be better. The Nook had everything I needed, and communication with Judith, the owner, was easy and immediate. I would definitely recommend The Nook to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the cute Higgins Beach neighborhood.

A great little rental at the best beach
The Nook is a perfect accommodation for a couple or small family. It is quite private, sunny and well kept. It is located a short distance from Higgins Beach, a favorite spot for my wife and I, a placed to which we've returned for nearly three decades.

Cozy apartment
This is a wonderful, clean and well-maintained rental. We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay that has a gorgeous beach at the end of the street and is close to lots of attractions. It's a great get-away for 2 or could sleep 3 comfortably. We would not hesitate to rent it again if we visit the area.

Cozy apartment
This wonderful rental was clean, well-maintained and nicely decorated. There is a gorgeous beach at the end of the street and lots of attractions near by. The kitchen has everything you need. It's great for 2 but would also sleep 3 very comfortably. We loved it and hope to go there again!!
