This was the perfect place to stay with family as we came here for a family reunion. It’s large enough to host a group of people with different gathering areas in the yard and home. It’s also close enough to walk to the water and town Market that has amazing fresh bread.
Beautiful home in an idyllic community full of friendly people. Easy walk to the market, to the beach, or to neighborhoods full of luxurious homes. Owners house and grounds were immaculate and every need was provided for. We hated to leave!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We appreciate you!
Beautiful and comfortable home in Falmouth. The house is in pristine condition and has everything you need. Lovely area in Falmouth. Walk to the beach and Town Landing Market.This is our second time staying here. The owners are very responsive.
Very cute and comfortable home. Great location - easy drive to Portland. Kitchen was well equipped and workout space was a great bonus. We found ourselves chatting and relaxing in the home as much as we did exploring the area.
We completely enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful. It's well equipped with everything, and nicely decorated, making it very welcoming and comfortable. The yard is lovely. Really enjoyed using the fire pit. It was perfect for our family get away. We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you to Matt and Monique for an amazing vacation week. Your home is as beautiful as the pictures portray! The beds were comfy, the kid was a dream and the gardens are exquisite! We loved every moment? Matt and Monique are extremely responsive. We had a brief problem with the water temp and pressure. Matt responded immediately and it was fixed in no time. Can't wait to return to this lovely home in the future?
Great place- very creative gardens, private, comfortable bed and nice layout of house!
Kitchen is great!
We are very familiar with the area as we were back from out if State but have been Maine residents our entire lives.
Our family enjoyed this spacious and well-appointed home very much. The gourmet kitchen was a dream, we cooked several large meals and had everything we needed. The yard was cozy and very welcoming. The hosts were wonderful from our first interaction. We would highly recommend this home for an easy and relaxing getaway. Thank you!

Amy, thank you so much! Lovely words. And so glad you love our kitchen - so do we!
Pristine condition, spacious, clean, comfortable and well appointed. In addition to the 3 BRs it has a lovely study and nicely furnished lower level that we used for remote work. The home gym is also a great bonus. Beautiful outdoor space for entertaining with gorgeous plantings and comfortable outdoor seating.
Perfect location within walking distance to the beach and Town Landing market.

Thank you for your kind words and so happy to hear you had a great experience. Thanks for leaving our home in "pristine" condition!
This was the perfect house for me and my family there were 4 adults and 2 children ages 2 & 5. The house was very spacious and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to a neighborhood beach as well as the Town Landing Market. It was 15 minutes to Portland so it was very convenient to drive into Portland and enjoy the activities and excursions. I definitely would recommend this house for your next vacation
Matt & Monique were friendly, gracious hosts! This house is ideal for those traveling with kids as there are step stools, plastic plates, etc. that make life easier. Loved the outdoor area with a fenced in backyard. The house was clean and had all the amenities and comforts of home. We enjoyed the location and it was a friendly neighborhood with other young families taking walks and waving hello. We’ll be returning for sure!

restful and spacious home
My family and I had a wonderful time at this terrific Maine home near Portland. The house was very well furnished and well organized. The two large bedrooms were terrific, with a very large en suite master bathroom with two separate lavatories and a great shower/tub. The master bedroom was connected with an open porch, perfect for morning coffee, reading, etc. The second bedroom had a (also large) bathroom across the hall. There was a third bedroom, suitable for young children, that we did not use. Downstairs there was a large open kitchen, dining room, and big living room, with all necessary furnishings. There was also a quiet study, a bathroom, and a mud room. The house was well located; about 25 minutes from the Portland airport and 15-20 minutes from downtown Portland. The house also had a lovely back porch on the first floor, excellent for dining, as well as a grill and a separate patio/fire pit area. Matt and Monique were ideal hosts, accommodating our latish arrival time, explaining how the house worked, orienting us to the neighborhood, and giving us advice about nearby places to visit. We did not swim at the nearby beach because it was low tide but we found a good state beach about a half hour away.
Our family had a wonderful experience at this property.
Pictures don't do justice to how nice the house is. The fully loaded kitchen had everything we could need. The beds were comfortable, the setting was quiet.
Our dog made himself at home in the fantastic yard and we all loved our morning walks to the water's edge. Plenty of friendly dogs and neighbors greeted us along the way.
And finally, the location was perfect. Close to Portland, beaches, and shopping but far enough from the hubbub of the real world to truly relax.
We spent a delightful week in this comfortable home. The location is quiet, the neighbors are friendly, and the home is very well-appointed in every way. We will return next summer.
This house ticked all of the boxes for us! The house was spotless on our arrival. We loved the location - less than 15 minutes to Portland or Freeport. It was in a beautiful neighborhood. The house was even more spacious in person and the home office was great for telecommuting. The hosts were very helpful and gave great restaurant recommendations. We will absolutely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time! The hosts are thoughtful, house is neat with things we needed (even small things like cooking oil, spices, zip lock bags etc.). The garden is lovely just as showing in the picture.
This was our second year staying here. The house is beautiful and welcoming, with everything our family needed to make ourselves comfortable. With little kids, we especially appreciated the plastic dishes and step stools :) The backyard is filled with flowers and cozy places to hang out, and the neighborhood is a great location filled with friendly neighbors. Thank you, M & M, for another great stay, we'll be back!
The house was perfect for a one week stay with our family of five (including three College age children). Plenty of room for all. The backyard is gorgeous, a great place to hangout. The location is very convenient to both Portland and Beach/Seaside activities. We highly recommend this property to all.
Our family stayed here for a few days and absolutely loved it! The house was clean and in a perfect location. Close enough to Portland and surrounding areas for day trips but in a quiet neighborhood. The area is quaint and loved taking walks to the waterfront and local store.
Everything about staying here was convenient and stress-free. The location was perfect; our kids loved walking down to the ocean, and it was a short drive to everywhere we wanted to go. The yard and garden are beautiful as well. We would gladly stay here again given the opportunity. Your home is lovely, thank you for sharing it with us!
What a great house! It had plenty of space for our family of 6, very clean, and was located close to everything in Portland. Our kids had the best stay in the bunks and our pups enjoyed the backyard!
The home was perfect.

About the host
Hosted by Monique and/or Matt Pines
We love our Falmouth Foreside home! We love our neighborhood with close walking, running and cycling trails, beach access for our dog, and an easy stroll to the Town Landing Market, as well as super easy access to all the best of the Greater Portland area. Because of our jobs, we vacate our home each summer, and exchange it for lakeside living in southwestern Maine. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
This family home is a spacious open-concept living space, with lots of windows - very bright and happy! The kitchen is dreamy! It has two back decks, and stone patio for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The beautiful backyard is fenced and has a gorgeous stone fire-pit, shaded by trees. The dead end street is peaceful and quiet. Very safe for kids and walking/running-friendly.
What makes this property unique
Comes with beach access and a walking trail; local market for delicious breakfast sandwiches, lunch, etc., and playground for small children. Foreside Falmouth is a very active community with lots of runners and walkers! The home is very near route one, and just 10-15 min drive to downtown Old Port Portland, and 15 min to quaint Freeport, home of the LLBean flagship store and tons of outlets. We are also very near the Maine Audubon.
