Beyond Incredible!
My husband and I spent three wonderful weeks at this property during October 2018. We love Maine and we try to visit every year. Last year we discovered South Portland and Willard Beach. We fell in love with this property last year from its description and the many raving guest reviews, however our schedule did not work out to rent the property. This year we were determined to inquire early in order to rent the home and we are so fortunate we did. The house is charming and well furnished. The owner, Marilys, has tastefully decorated the rooms with a variety of collectibles and comfortable furniture. Marilys, is excellent in communicating and insuring that all our questions were answered in advance and during our stay. She provides very detailed information about the house and surrounding area.
The day we arrived, a freshly baked Bundt cake was waiting for us. Marilys toured us around the house pointing out features and important information. Each room in the house is beautifully decorated, and the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels are luxurious. The house is impeccably clean, and the kitchen is well equipped for cooks of all skill levels. Marilys has toys and games for children and baby items available for families with young children.
Sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine in the afternoon while sitting outside on the beautiful patio watching the lobster boats, sailboats and even cruise boats pass by is a real treat. The sea breezes are refreshing and calming. A gas burning fireplace inside the home takes the chill off a cold day.
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Even our rescue boxer, Buddy, had a great time. There are plenty of doggie day care facilities in the Portland area if you need your pet to have play time. Our favorite was Roscoe’s Bed and Bark and we also liked Mutty Paws. Willard Beach is also pet friendly but certain restrictions do apply (leash laws) at certain times of the year. The neighborhood is quiet, and the neighbors are very friendly.
The home is convenient for walking to the beach. There is also a walking/bike path called the Greenbelt Walkway. There are wonderful restaurants in South Portland and Portland. Marilys has provided a comprehensive guide of where to eat and many things to do during your stay.
