About this property

3BR Coastal Home w/ Porch + Parking Near Old Port

Soak up spring and summer in Maine with ocean breezes, beach walks, and golden evenings on the porch.



A seven-night minimum stay is required during the summer season. This is a place to settle in, unwind, and truly enjoy—short stays simply don’t do it justice.



Our 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home pairs mid-century modern style with timeless Maine charm. The open-concept main floor glows with natural light and features a fully stocked chef’s kitchen — cookware for ten, a dishwasher, French press, and a curated bookshelf of Maine authors.





Bedrooms



Blue Velvet Room: Queen bed, peaceful retreat, small closet.

Rob’s Room: Spacious queen with sit/stand desk and upper-porch access.

Primary Suite: King bed, en-suite bath, private upper-porch access — perfect for sunrise coffee or watching snow fall over the harbor.



Upper Loft



A comfy hideaway for movie nights, reading, or board games — ideal for long winter evenings.



Why We Love It Here



This is our personal coastal haven, crafted for slow mornings, creative inspiration, and cozy connection. Whether you’re exploring Portland’s winter food scene, ice-skating at Thompson’s Point, sledding nearby, or curling up with a book, winter in South Portland feels peaceful, magical, and wonderfully restorative.

We absolutely LOVED our stay! The house was extremely welcoming and comfortable. Everything was amazing and beautiful. The rooms were clean and open. My dog loved the yard and being able to run around and she felt at home. The hosts were so receptive and helpful; communication was so easy. The upper porch was fantastic for a glass of wine in the afternoon and to watch the sunset over the water. My only regret is that we didn't go in the warmer months. We would absolutely stay again! It is one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Hosts were super friendly and communicated well. The house has a pet friendly fully fenced in back yard. The owners have done a great job of ensuring some places near the fencing have wood to block dogs from digging/escaping.The property was in a nice location in South Portland that was close to shops and pleasant walking.The property provided parking for 3 cars.

What a clean, beautiful home! We needed a place for our family to stay while we visited Portland for a long weekend to see a concert at Merrill Auditorium and this turned out to be the perfect stay! We were able to bring our two dogs along with us and felt right at home with the fully (and securely!) fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. With close proximity to almost everything we wanted to see while we were there and amazing views of the water, we couldn't of asked for anything better! Kitty and Dave were quick to responsd when needed and have the house well equipped with everything for a comfortable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kitty

Host profile image
We’re Dave and Kitty, and we are thrilled to share our South Portland retreat with you.

Dave is an author and journalist with deep Maine roots—his family were early midcoast settlers going back to the late 1600s. He writes for National Geographic, Harper's, Popular Mechanics, and Down East magazine, where he writes about fellow Mainers and the state's remarkable landscape. He hopes you'll be inspired by the book collection, and by the beautiful natural surroundings.

Kitty is a designer and owner of a design and décor business. With a love for mid-century modern and thoughtfully curated spaces, she’s brought her design eye to this home—blending comfort, functionality, and style. Every corner is designed to feel both inspiring and welcoming, whether you’re gathering with family, cooking together, or curling up with a good book.

This home represents our dream retreat—a creative, comfortable space rooted in Maine’s history. We love this area and hope you’ll feel right at home here, whether you’re visiting for a summertime summer excursion, an offseason adventure, or romantic weekend.

Why they chose this property

South Portland is the Brooklyn of Maine—hip, creative, and full of character. You get all the amenities of Portland just across the bridge, but a full array of interesting restaurants and smoother access to the beaches and Casco Bay destinations that make the area so special.

You can stroll Willard Beach (dog-friendly after 7:30pm—perfect for evening walks with pups) and bike the Greenbelt to Bug Light Park, which will always hold a special place in our hearts because one of our first dates was there.

And you're just across the bridge from the Old Port's restaurants, breweries, and arts scene. It’s this mix of ocean air, creative energy, and local flavor that made us want to create a home here—and share it with others.

What makes this property unique

We designed this home to be more than just a place to stay — it’s a space for gathering, creating, and enjoying the best of Greater Portland.

We fell in love with the wide-open kitchen, and Dave (a passionate cook) has tricked it out for hosting and family meals. Whether you’re whipping up a lobster feast or simply sharing wine and cheese, it’s a place meant for togetherness.

The open layout makes it easy for everyone to connect—whether you're cooking, relaxing, or planning your next adventure.

The neighborhood offers a true local feel along with seasonal water views in winter and gorgeous sunsets from the upper deck.

It’s the kind of place where you can gather as a group, relax into the serenity of coastal Maine, and make memories that last.
