DIRECTIONS HEADING NORTH ON MAINE TURNPIKE FROM SOUTH OF MAINE
Once on the Maine Turnpike take the Biddeford exit. (note: you are not on the Maine Turnpike immediately after crossing the Maine/New Hampshire bridge. There is an exit just prior to getting on the Maine Turnpike. If you take this one in error it is worth turning around and going back to get onto the Maine Turnpike).
After going through the Biddeford toll booth take first left. This is the Alfred Road.
(For those of you who are coming to Maine to rent a vacation home you may want to consider the convenience of the new Shaw's Supermarket that is on your left as you get onto the Alfred Road.)
Once onto Alfred Road continue roughly for one mile to your fourth traffic light. You are now at "5 Points Intersection".
A Mobil gas station is on your right and a D'Angelo's Sandwich shop is on your left.
Don't bear left (on Rt. 1) but go straight through the light to continue on Alfred Street. A Burger King will be on your right as you proceed.
Continue for roughly one mile to your next traffic light.
A 7-11 convenience store (and gas station) will be on your left at this light.
Turn right (Pool St.) at this light and go up the hill; go two blocks to your next traffic light. Go straight through the light; you are now on Pool Road (Route 9) which leads to the ocean. Continue for roughly 3.5 miles until you see Sea Star market (Texaco gas station) on your right.
Turn left at this store onto Hills Beach Road. You will also see a sign that says University of New England (UNE).
You will immediately begin to see the UNE campus buildings.
Take your next left at the fork in the road to stay on Hills Beach Road; if you go straight you will land back up on Route 9.
Proceed roughly an eight of a mile and you will come to two very tight curves in the road (and best to drive slowly around them as the road there is very narrow and there are many joggers and bicyclists in the area), then the road will straighten out.
Shortly after these sharp curves, you will see Breakwater Avenue, Sea Breeze Avenue, and Long Avenue on your left. #9 Long Avenue is located on the left side of Long Avenue.
Go another roughly eight of a mile to the only restaurant at Hills Beach called Bufflehead's Restaurant (highly recommended) on the right side of the road.
Continue for seven more houses and you will see the vacation house (white stucco house on the left-ocean side) at 125 Hills Beach Road.
Travel a bit further down the road and you will arrive at 154 Hills Beach Road on the right.
Travel about a half mile further down the road and you will arrive at a fork in the road. Turn right on Sky Harbor Drive and #8 is the first house on your right.
Voila! You have arrived! Welcome to Maine! It's time! You deserve living in Maine
