Cute house close to Willard Beach

We came to Portland to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. The home is nicely decorated and comfortable. There is an adorable doll house upstairs which our youngest spent hours playing with. The beach is a short five minute walk away. We really enjoyed our time and were quite comfortable during our stay. We appreciate Diana hosting us and all the special touches to enhance our stay.

Great location, exceptionally clean, and well equipped.

The overall backyard was beautiful and mostly fenced. We might suggest that a smaller portion of the backyard behind the house might be fenced just to keep our dogs from getting out.

Great stay

It was a wonderful home, has everything you need. Quality towels, sheets, and furnishings. Diana was very responsive and accommodating. Do need to inform her if you are bringing a pet. My dog loved the beach during dog hours. A very short walk to the beach. A trip to Scratch Baking is a must, preordered 2 cakes which were delicious. Thanks for a fantastic stay Diana!

Fantastic home

Everything you need and could want. The home was welcoming and warm with so many special touches. Our stay was extra special since there wasn’t a thing we lacked. Plenty of space - indoors and out, great location (1/2 mile walk to the beach and a lighthouse!), so close to Portland proper, as well as close to the Portland headlight. It was a perfect getaway. Looking forward to another stay here!

Very Clean

This is probably our 6th dog friendly rental so far and by far the cleanest. The layout was perfect for us. There's a main floor bedroom in the back with access to the backyard and ensuite bathroom perfect for the older couple with a dog. The area can be closed off with a pocket door. Upstairs are two bedrooms and two bathrooms with washer and dryer. There's nice play area and lots of toys, very comfortable for a family of four with two small children. The layout gave both families extra space so we didnt feel cramped. Location is close to the beach. Kitchen is well appointed and the dishwasher worked well. We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas.

Great stay, great location

Very clean, cozy property. Location is very close to beach and other Maine points of interest like Spring point lighthouse and local bakeries. Know that the house is older and quirky, which is fine for young, nimble people but may be an issue for those who are mobility impaired (steps going down into one of the upstairs bedrooms and up into attached bath.) my mom, with a walker did fine with the first floor bedroom and bath which were level. Overall, very nice and we would stay there again.

Excellent property

Excellent large property that was very well suited for a family. Each room had its own bathroom which was fantastic. We ate some meals in and the kitchen was very well appointed and easy to use. Local area is fantastic, highly recommend Willard Scoops for ice cream. Scratch bakery is an absolute must for the bagels. We were visiting family in Portland and had rented a car, there was a spot for parking. Portland is within easy reach. All communication with Diana was prompt, we didn't communicate much as there were no problems! Excellent property, highly recommend.

Perfect getaway

Magical Maine. This vacation home was in the perfect location to discover Maine. There were five of us staying at this property and there was plenty of room and privacy for all of us. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and clean. The outdoor table in the garden made for a memorable place to eat a meal in the evening. The house is located a couple of blocks from Willard beach. I would strongly recommend watching the sunrise from this beach. It was a little cold at that time of the morning but the sunrise was unbelievable. Plenty to do and see in this part of the world. We will definitely be coming back. Our host Diana was very quick to reply to questions I had and also made some great recommendations for our stay.

Great for a family

We had to leave our winter vacation a little early, but we would love to return to this home in the summer months! We found the house extremely comfortable and functional as a family with a young child and a baby, and there even would have been space for a set of grandparents to join us. While not explicitly baby-proofed, the space was definitely safe for our three-year-old to explore, although if you have a *very* hands-on little one you might need to move a few small decorative items out of the way. Everything was clean and well cared for, and all the kitchen appliances worked great. The thermostat seemed underpowered or slow at first, but by the end of our stay everything was fine, so maybe it had just been off right before we arrived. We really appreciated the collection of children's books and toys, as well as the little high chair that were left for us to use. The flexibility of a crib as well as a pack-n-play onsite was great, too. Another nice feature was the number of bathrooms, which gave everyone a lot of privacy and allowed flexibility while managing baths and bedtimes for the kids. It seems like the owners have put a lot of thought into everything! The only thing that would have been nice would be to have would be some darker/heavier curtains in the bedrooms to keep out light in the morning, but I know that isn't everyone's taste. If you have super-light-sensitive little ones, you might want to bring something to help black out the windows for naptimes. Even with that very minor thing, we were really happy with the house and wish we could have stayed longer!

Diana was a great host and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage has all the amenities of home and is well cared for. The close proximity to the beach was awesome as was breakfast at the local bakery. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Comfortable and homey in South Portland

We really enjoyed our stay close to family and Willard Beach. The home had a well-equipped kitchen with lots of room to play indoors in winter weather (what we had) and lots of outdoor space for warmer weather. It was great also to have a clear instruction manual, lots of bathrooms and books/toys for little ones.

Great three day stay

It is a wonderful house with great New England character. The beds were comfy and there is plenty of room to spread out. The three full bathrooms were a huge plus when it came time for my group to get ready for the wedding we were attending. It was nice to be able to park all three cars off of the street.
