Walk out onto the beach!

Great location for beachgoers. The unit is just enough for a family of 4 or smaller. We could see the sea from our room. Our host was extremely attentive. Window unit ACs and a heater are available but open windows work great. I used the AC, fan or ear plugs at night. The area is very quiet but noise from neighbors cars or other units can be heard. Great place for the price. Its also walking distance to Scratch Bakery but note that many places are closed monday and tuesday. Atleast in June. Enjoy!
Looking south to Portlands oldest working lighthouse, Portland Head Light. Must see!

What a wonderful stay we had in South Portland. The rental property was located just a short walk to the beach and a short walk to a local bakery. The neighborhood felt safe, quiet and definitely walkable. The unit was extremely clean and tastefully decorated. The living room furniture and queen size mattress were very comfortable. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had and we never felt uncomfortable reaching out. Upon our arrival a basket of goodies was provided - thank you.I cannot say enough about the unit, location, amenities and our host. We loved our stay and look forward to a return visit!

South Portland Little Neighborhood Gem

Just across the bridge from downtown and the Portland waterfront sits a great neighborhood in South Portland, and down a side street steps away from the beach sits this great property to make your home base. Quaint street and comfortable upstairs 2 bedroom apartment. The rental had everything one would need to make a home away from home. Nice touches all around. Beds are super comfortable. One room had a queen size the other two twins, perfect for my little girls. Great shower (and pressure). Spa like scents with the body wash and shampoo provided. Nice sized couch for everyone to enjoy some R&R with flat screen TV. We didn’t get to utilize the outdoor offerings, but they are there. Chairs, beach stuff, outdoor shower, etc Plenty of Food options within minutes from the house. And only a short 12 min drive to the waterfront (parked). Only mention I would make is the place could feel small - kitchen is petite, only common space is the living room area which could get crowded with a family or two couples. We didn’t rent with the expectation of hanging in the rental, but instead, be out and explore and just use the house for a good nights rest. Enjoy the place. It’s super convenient and situated in a great and safe area.
