We really enjoyed this pup-friendly unit. All the creature comforts were included to make it feel like home - nice dishes and cookware, beach gear, lots of seating options in the unit and outdoor space to enjoy the end of summer. Short walk to the beach and food. Would definitely recommend!

We have stayed in many homes and this one is special. The hosts have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable from charging stations, ice makers, beach towels, even sunglasses if we forgot to bring them! The beds are very comfortable and the living room seating is adequate for 4 adults or more. It too is very cozy. The art work is inspiring and we felt at home as soon as we walked in. For Gluten Free guests, don't miss Otto's GF pizza. It blew us away.

We stayed here as a family of 4 and it was a wonderful location for exploring the South Portland area. It was an easy walk to Willard beach with lots of great shops (delicious bakery, yummy ice cream) just steps away. We only stayed a couple of nights but we easily could have stayed a month! This place had all the amenities with comfortable beds and luxurious towels. We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, off street parking, and the washer/dryer. Very clean and well maintained. Beautifully decorated. Definitely recommend!

Super clean, comfortable, very nicely decorated and current, just as advertised. very conveniently located, the owners had anticipated every possible need. I would not hesitate to stay there again. In fact we have shared our wonderful experience with other family members who often come to the area. Truly an A+ experience

Lots of personal touches & amenities. Much larger than expected. Comfortable beds. Wanted to open windows for fresh cool night air but many didn’t have screens. Streaming TV was not conducive to watching regular shows without navigational effort; we weren’t there to watch TV anyway! Great place, wonderful find, great location. Thank you for offering this place!

Quaint 1st floor apartment, bigger inside than first appeared from outside. Kitchen reminded us of an old farmhouse kitchen with nice restoration work done. Nice sized living room and bedroom. Dining room may be a little small (but not too small) but has a nice table and 4 chairs and is conveniently attached to the kitchen. The House is VERY conveniently located almost right across the street from a busy bagel shop with an ice cream shop across the intersection from there. We found the house location to be a great home base for all the day trips we took. Checkin, checkout, and communication were all smooth as can be. Would book again if we're back in Portland.

We have been coming to Willard Beach area for a few years now, and this has been our absolute favorite location to stay at.

The location is also fantastic, Scratch bakery and the beach are all so close, it very convenient! I would definitely stay here again.

My three sisters and I stayed at the Condo for five nights. It was very comfortable and the location in South Portland was wonderful. We enjoyed going to the Scratch Bakery which was just across the street. The hosts also provide a complete list of restaurants and other sights in the area which was very detailed and helpful. We had a question regarding an issue in the Condo and the host responded immediately. They were very helpful. It was wonderful to have parking right outside our door and there were many nearby restaurants plus it was only a short drive to downtown Portland and the harbor area and shops. You can easily drive or take an UBER Lyft or taxi. I would stay here again if I return to Portland.

From booking to check out this rental was really great. Check in was effortless. Owner was quick to reply to questions. House was pleasantly spacious. Beds were very comfy. After having many engagements in the busier dwtn Portland area it was very nice to come back to the more laid back feel of South Portland. Scratch bakery every morning was an added bonus.

Ed and Steve’s place is a perfect home base from which to explore the wonderful shoreline, terrific restaurants, and charming neighborhoods of Cape Elizabeth, South Portland and Portland. The first-floor apartment is spacious, clean and extremely well outfitted, with many thoughtful touches. Ed is easily accessible to answer any questions that might come up about the house or the area. Highly recommend.

Charming unit located in a fantastic location! We enjoyed the bakery across the street and the ice cream shop in the next block. The hosts thoughtfully provide so many “extras” such as sunglasses, umbrellas, and beach towels for use during the stay. Descriptions for this rental are very accurate.

We were very pleased. The place was spotless, great location, all basic amenities provided. There are not 2 king beds, only 1 king and a queen. Not an issue but listing said a king. You won’t go wrong with this place and definitely check out the bakery across the street!

I live in the neighborhood and had a large group of family coming for a memorial celebration. This was a perfect place for some family to stay. It’s a great apartment right across from our favorite bakery, near the beach, and down the street from our house. It’s got just the right beach vibe while providing comfort and all the modern conveniences. Highly recommend this property. Ed and Steve were so prompt in all our communications which we really appreciated.

My husband, puppy and I just spent a lovely 4 days in Portland and enjoyed all the amenities of the condo. I wish some of my adult children could’ve joined us - there was plenty of room for more. The pictures exactly represented the condo. A few minute walk to the great beach and lots of great eateries (plus wonderful bakery and ice cream parlor across the street!) and quick drive to downtown Portland. I look forward to staying there again some time and highly recommend to others. Thank you!
