Liked: Check-in, location

My family’s stay was not pleasurable
The stay started with no towels, a broken bed that the frame was held up by. 2x4. The twin bed frame was totally unsteady and also fell apart- so one child and two adults sleeping on mattress on the floor! The deck was unsafe- bathroom door difficult to open. So terribly disappointed!

2022 Maine summer vacation
Our first time visiting and staying in Maine. The location was convenient and close to shopping and beaches. The sun room was awesome! AC would have made the warmer nights easier to bear with. Quiet, friendly and safe neighborhood, would definitely recommend others to stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Marcy Michael

Host profile image
A recent full time resident, Maine has always been part of the fabric of my life. My ancestors arrived in Maine via Nova Scotia, from Ireland the 1850's and many relatives are nearby. I grew up going our family farmhouse in the nearby Belgrades and I've enjoyed many a Maine summer swimming, hiking, berry picking and listening to the loons at night. Cape Elizabeth encompases everything that I love about Maine, the rugged beauty of the shore, the hiking trails and most of all the warm friendliness of the people here.

Why they chose this property

You'll find that this house is a comfortable and peaceful oasis with an amazing location. It is minutes from beautiful beaches, hiking trails, scenic lighthouses, seaside lobster shack, the foodie paradise that is Portland, and so much more. You'll enjoy all the delights of a Maine vacation within a 10 mile radius with this great location.

What makes this property unique

You will experience a great nights sleep on the new, high-quality mattresses.
