About this house rental
Lovely coastal Maine cottage-style home in Cape Elizabeth with a bright and open floor plan. Our home is located in a peaceful family residential neighborhood and abuts to several acres of wooded greenbelt trails. We are near the Spurwink Marsh and River, home of the Rachel Carson wildlife preserve and we are just a mere 2.5 to 6 miles to some of the finest beaches in Maine. The vibrant small city of Portland is 6 miles from our home. Come and enjoy her many restaurants, micro brews and sights!
Our home is a cottage-style Maine home and has 4 plus one bedrooms: The master suite has a king size bed with private full bath. Bedroom #2 has a queen memory bed (comfy!) along with a desk and sitting couch. Bedroom #3 has a queen size bed with sitting chair. Bedroom #4 has a beautiful California King bed with sitting chairs. The plus #5 bedroom is what we call the boat room. This is the 700 sq. foot bonus room. It has two beautifully crafted full sized boat beds, big screen TV and a pedestal table with chairs. The walls are lined with built in book selves loaded with children's books. This room can be used as a bedroom or living space. All bedrooms are on the second floor. In addition to the master bath on the second floor there is a full sized bathroom just off the hallway with double sinks and a separate toilet and shower room that can be closed off with a pocket door.
The first floor of our home has an open and airy floor plan: a gourmet kitchen opens into the living room which then opens to a lovely dinning room. From the kitchen you may walk right on to the blue stone terrace in the back yard. Also, on the first floor is a mudroom and half bath and a private office space.
Outside you will find a fully fenced backyard and large blue stone terrace that backs up to conservation green space. Our home also has a wonderful front porch to cozy up with a good summer read or a morning cup of coffee!
***this home has central air conditioning for the relief from the hot and humid summer days and wonderful radiant base-board heat for the chilly Fall and Winter season.

Celebrated my birthday with the family of 7 ranging in age from 3 1/2 to 73 in Maine. Great house for all ages especially the boat room. The toys and books entertained my grandson for house. Very comfortable beds and a separate office. Fully stocked kitchen and gorgeous back yard. Liz and John, the owners are very accommodating. Close proximity to Portand and the beaches. I would highly recommend this house.

We found a beautiful home in Cape Elizabeth to enjoy a family vacation. The home is spacious and well appointed. It is near everything from downtown Portland to the beaches on Cape Elizabeth, to Fort Williams and the Lighthouse, to Freeport, and to Kennebunkport to name just a few destination spots.
The house is minutes from the train station and the airport.
We enjoyed reclaiming our Maine family roots. The house - with the exceptional hosts - made our time in Maine special indeed.

I could go on and on…Liz and John were the best hosts ever. The property is spectacular. Everything you would need. My friend is a gourmet cook and found the kitchen was a dream! The front and back areas of the home were magnificent for eating, chatting or just hanging out. Liz and John were so welcoming of my friend’s old lab mix dog. All of their recommendations were spot on for myself and my guests and enhanced the experience! They made it comfortable for all of us. The best VRBO experience of my life. Hoping to go back to enjoy more of Liz and John’s Maine!

As developers/builders, we are not easily impressed. This house did it. It had special features and appliances, great opportunity to cook, to sit on a flower filled porch, super comfortable. While incredible, you didn’t feel like your everyday movement would ruin it. Great location, quiet neighborhood.

This wonderful property was the perfect place for our family of seven. The main floor is open, welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and appliances anyone might need. Upstairs the five bedrooms had comfortable beds, and the bathroom facilities were perfect for us. The natural light that flows throughout the house is excellent.
Communication with the owners was terrific. Liz and John provided all the support we needed during our stay.
Our experience was excellent in every respect. We would not hesitate to return to this property for our next family gathering in the Greater Portland area. A big thank you to Liz and John!!

This house is wonderful and the host is amazing! There is a cool kids room stocked with toys and books. The house is set up very well with helpful notes. We had an awesome stay and Liz and John the hosts reached out before and during our stay to make sure everything was going well. They even provided an extensive guide to the area. I had mentioned taking the kids to the tide pools at low tide, and Liz and John printed out a tide schedule and left it in the house before we arrived. Very thoughtful and caring. We were only there for a couple of days but this is a place I would love to come back to and rent for a month!

A true escape
Liz and John were great! The house is lovely. They’re created a great experience with their attention to detail, i.e., fresh flowers, beach towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. The neighborhood is charming and a close walk to Jordan Farm.

Maine Stay !!!!
The property is fantastic and in a lovely neighborhood. We felt very welcomed by all the nice touches, flowers, coffee, area suggestions, etc. The whole house was well appointed, (especially the kitchen) with everything you need at your disposal. John and Liz were very communicative and happy to be of any assistance. Do not hesitate to rent this property!!!!

Perfect spot for extended family get together
Ideal home for our family get-together. The house is made for casual entertaining…the huge kitchen island, the spacious but still cozy living room, and the back patio so well surrounded by trees that it’s like another room. High ceilings. Lots of bedrooms. And Liz could not have been more helpful — very clear info about how everything in the house works (like the dishwasher) and quick to answer questions when we had them.

Liz and John are Incredible Hosts
As yearly Maine vacationers, we have to say that our stay here was amongst the most memorable because of Liz and John’s incredible home. Beautiful furnishings and perfectly located for all the great things the Portland area offers. Minutes from the beach, close to town…great for young kids and our dog - can’t wait to come back!

Maine visit
Liz and John were excellent with accommodating our needs and answering all our questions about the area - so nice to deal with !
The house is beautiful and so comfortable. Even with the rainy day , the kids enjoyed ping pong, making s’mores at the outdoor fire pit( that John readied for us), and playing games. I can highly recommend this home. Thanks Liz and John !

Lovely house
We stayed for two weeks in August and had a wonderful stay with three generations of our family. It fit our needs and more: the kitchen was very well appointed, the beds were comfortable, and there were so many toys and books for our 1 and 2 year old sons to enjoy! The house was also well stocked with board games, so I imagine it would be good for older children as well. The hosts were kind and very responsive.

Winter weekend
Great house, excellent location. We had a family weekend visiting Portland shops, restaurants, breweries and area lighthouses. This house was a perfect home base. Liz was a very welcoming and helpful host. While this was perfect for our winter getaway, we saw how terrific a location it would be for a summertime vacation. Also, great access to woodland trails right in the backyard.
