Great Beach House

The house is quite simple, but it is very spacious and has everything you need. Scarborough Beach is a very special place and to be able to walk there makes this house a great find.

Never again

After staying a week, we were very surprised by the positive reviews. Pros: the house is near the beach. The beach is beautiful and not crowded whatsoever. You do need to rake a spot because there is a lot of seaweed. The screened in porch was really nice. Cons: the house is old and musty. You cannot move in the upstairs bed without the entire thing making noise. We killed at least 50 ants, spiders, and earwigs. The three bedrooms in the basement are less than desirable to sleep in. There are multiple dehumidifiers we had to empty daily, sometimes twice daily. When drying clothes, the entire room becomes a sauna, soaking the entire bathroom. It was disgusting. We also could not locate any smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, which made doing laundry extra scary. We discovered an apartment attached to the basement that was supposed to be locked and it was disgusting. We worried someone else would be in there but the owner said no one would staying there. We were asked to sweep, vacuum and wipe down counters at the end of the stay despite paying a cleaning fee. After being in the basement bedrooms, our feet were consistently black. For what we paid, we are extremely disappointed and would never stay here again and would recommend you don’t either.

Wonderful home close to the beach

We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable home near Scarborough Beach. The screened porch was delightful and huge - we had fun eating dinners out there without fear of being carried away by mosquitoes. There are lots of separate areas to hang out, which was nice with two kids and an infant. The walk to the beach takes about 2-3 minutes on a pretty trail, and the beach itself was gorgeous. We loved how close we were to Portland as well, it was fun to be able to make a quick trip in for bagels or a brewery stop. The basement was a little musty, even with the dehumidifier running all the time - but that's to be expected so close to the ocean. This house was a lovely spot and we will hopefully be returning again next year!

Great beach access

The house was very comfortable for sleeping 4 adults and 4 children. The easy access to the sandy private beach, via a 1 minute walk, was quite a treasure. We're definitely interested in returning next year

Very comfortable clean house in a fantastic location

This home is a 2’ walk down a picturesque lane to an amazing beach. Very few people on a very long and clean beach. Fantastic views. The home was very comfortable for all 9 of us, 3 families total with 6 adults and children 5, 2 and 1.5 years old. Also a very short bike ride to Ferry Beach which is calmer for swimming laps and playing for young children. The owners were very available. The sole recommendation is that they take a look at the dishwasher which is okay but not great - we ended up doing a lot of dishes by hand. There are multiple common spaces for hanging out and we enjoyed all of them - the living room w a great view, front lawn, family room w a large tv for the kids, very large back screened room was our favorite for dining, jigsaw puzzles and generally just being together. This large, rambling home was perfect for our big family; well furnished kitchen which was important since we cooked almost all meals there. Neighbors were friendly. Highly recommend this house!

Perfect family getaway

This is a beautiful property in a private setting with access to the end of Scarborough Beach. The layout of the house is so spacious and comfortable. Everything was spotless! The proximity to the beach gave 3 generations of my family the ability to enjoy their own schedules without having to worry about being ready at the same time to drive together. 10 minute drive to stores and food, also close to Two Lights and Portland. So many wonderful memories from the week! We would definitely recommend to anyone, and in fact are thinking of booking again for next summer!

Finally able to get all our kids and grandkids together.

The property gave room for us all to have privacy but we always gathered on the large three season porch for meals. I even slept on the porch with my grandkids, a great adventure for them! The beach was beautiful and close. Also, not many people or surfers to interfere with boogey boarding. We rented the house next door for a week as well to accommodate my other daughter’s family. We hope to be able to stay again. Our grandkids never wanted to leave and grandma took a two hour nap when they did!

Beautiful property and location!

Perfect location and home for a family of eight all with competing demands for an ideal vacation. Some needed A beach close by, others golf and tennis and one an ice cream shop! Some needed WiFi to be able to work and everyone had their own place to venture off to. A centrally located kitchen with the cook’s ability to chat with people in any room! The screened in porch out back is just lovely! Breweries and Portland are a stone’s throw away. The early morning light is spectacular and the beach is secluded and gorgeous! Valerie met us at the property and ensured that all our needs were met, such a lovely person with lots of advice for us on how to enjoy our time there! If we make this an annual tradition, we definitely want to come back to this slice of heaven!

Absolutely perfect

Family of 4 with young children, a quiet and calm getaway in a residential neighborhood with the beach truly walkable - never crowded. The house was large and full of personality, great deck in the back, driving distance to everywhere we would have wanted to go - but the main attraction is a few steps away in any case. Everything was clean and organized. Valerie was great. We truly had an amazing stay!

Lovely spot

Great location a three-minute walk from a beautiful beach that was virtually empty whenever we went. The house itself is surprisingly spacious, with multiple seating areas—it’s easy if different groups want to do different things, or if someone needs a quiet spot to work. It’s comfortable, extremely clean and very relaxing.

we had a wonderful weekend attending the wedding of a niece on Prout's neck.

There were four bedrooms and 2.5 baths for our party of six. Plenty of towels, pillows, sheets, and kitchen stuff so that everyone was extremely comfortable. The place was clean and had three large living areas to sit and chat. We only used two. The beach access was a half-minute walk and the beach walk itself was glorious. My sons and their wives all felt that staying at this house was much better than staying in a hotel because we could visit and relax. I highly recommend this place. JS

Generous Space for Group Get-Togethers

Six of us travel each year to a different location, and this year my group decided to come to Portland, Maine close to where I live, so we found this great home on Scarborough Beach, which is a jewel among beaches in Maine. It is spacious home and has lots of different rooms for multi-activities, is clean, has a well-stocked kitchen, and so near the beach that you can hear the surf! Wonderful!
