Summary of reviewsGuests had a wonderful time in this charming property, enjoying the well-furnished house with luxurious linens, sea views, and a welcoming atmosphere. The owner was exceptional in communication and provided many thoughtful amenities.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2018
My husband and I spent three wonderful weeks at this property during October 2018. We love Maine and we try to visit every year. Last year we discovered South Portland and Willard Beach. We fell in love with this property last year from its description and the many raving guest reviews, however our schedule did not work out to rent the property. This year we were determined to inquire early in order to rent the home and we are so fortunate we did. The house is charming and well furnished. The owner, Marilys, has tastefully decorated the rooms with a variety of collectibles and comfortable furniture. Marilys, is excellent in communicating and insuring that all our questions were answered in advance and during our stay. She provides very detailed information about the house and surrounding area.
The day we arrived, a freshly baked Bundt cake was waiting for us. Marilys toured us around the house pointing out features and important information. Each room in the house is beautifully decorated, and the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels are luxurious. The house is impeccably clean, and the kitchen is well equipped for cooks of all skill levels. Marilys has toys and games for children and baby items available for families with young children.
Sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine in the afternoon while sitting outside on the beautiful patio watching the lobster boats, sailboats and even cruise boats pass by is a real treat. The sea breezes are refreshing and calming. A gas burning fireplace inside the home takes the chill off a cold day.
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Even our rescue boxer, Buddy, had a great time. There are plenty of doggie day care facilities in the Portland area if you need your pet to have play time. Our favorite was Roscoe’s Bed and Bark and we also liked Mutty Paws. Willard Beach is also pet friendly but certain restrictions do apply (leash laws) at certain times of the year. The neighborhood is quiet, and the neighbors are very friendly.
The home is convenient for walking to the beach. There is also a walking/bike path called the Greenbelt Walkway. There are wonderful restaurants in South Portland and Portland. Marilys has provided a comprehensive guide of where to eat and many things to do during your stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2018
My husband and I spent a week at the lovely cottage. The owner, Marilys met us on our arrival to show us the house which was very helpful.
She also left a wonderful chocolate cake from our favorite stop, The Scratch Bakery.
The house had everything we needed and the most wonderful king size bed
It was a very short walk from the house to beach
We loved all the added touches, the fresh cut flowers in the rooms
Beautiful week, beautiful home
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2018
The cottage in South Portland is really great. The owners go out of their way to make your stay the best. The house is very clean, has all the amenities, and the owners are quick to remedy any issues. The setting is beautiful and the location is close to downtown Portland, with easy access to the beach in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. Highly recommend!
5 / 10·Apr 2018
The house was everything it states in the description and more. We got there late in the evening and the owner had left the gas fireplace on for us. So welcoming! Marilys was wonderful to work with and had a ton of information for things to do around the house. The beach is very close by and the neighborhood is very quiet and nice. We look forward to coming back!
