About this property

City Amenities, Casco Bay Sunrises and Natural Beauty

Martin's Point high end home. This is a unique space that includes a beautiful view of Casco Bay with a waterfront park across the street and easy access to all that Portland, and the surrounding areas has to offer.

This home's uniqueness comes from it's proximity to the wide range of events, culture and fun activities in the city while also being just as close to amazing natural beauty with hiking trails, beaches and islands. Amazing views and higher end interior makes the home a comfortable and memorable place to relax. Only route 1 separates our beautiful home from the unobstructed beauty of Casco Bay.

Features include:
- Big, bold water views of Casco Bay out of all nine windows. Amazing sunsets and sunrises daily.
- Private entrance from back deck.
- Open floor plan with lot's of natural light.
- Newer, Hickory hardwood floors and cabinets.
- Custom stainless steel counter tops.
- Mix of rustic and nautical built-in seating, shelving and accents.
- Linens and towels provided to all guests for any length of stay
- Stainless steel appliances.
- Off street parking spaces with plenty of on street parking
- Large deck with patio furniture, views of the ocean and a nicely landscaped yard all around the house.

- Equal, walkable distance to Mackworth Island, Maine Audobon and the Eastern Promenade (15-20 min).
- Even shorter walk to the Back Cove Trail (7min) and The Other Side Delicatessen (2.5min). Plus, Veranda Noodle Bar, Veranda Thai, Otherside Diner, Beal's Ice Cream and the new Smoothy Bar (Grateful Cup) are about 5-7 minute walk as well.
- Easy access to 295 (15-20 seconds), Short drive to all the shopping in Falmouth and a 5 minute ride/taxi/Uber to downtown Portland (Uber usually costs $6).

I'm happy to provide advice to guests. As a native of the area and easily accessible (as I live in the condo unit above), I can help recommend local restaurants, bars, nature, beaches, parks, music venues, breweries, etc. around Portland. Also happy to provide insights for other points of interest in Maine. A cork board packed with brochures and a map of the area with points of interest is in he kitchen.

Beauty and convenience: Martin's Point is unique because it's smack in the middle of both natural beauty and all the amenities that Portland has to offer. We have a few shops and good restaurants within walking distance and parking is free and easy to find, unlike on the Peninsula. Walk over the Presumscot Bridge into Falmouth Foreside, take a 5 minute Uber to the Old Port or hop on 295 and be at Thompson's Point in 7 minutes.

We have a bus stop right outside the door, an Uber is usually here within minutes, 295 on ramp is a couple blocks away and there are multiple destinations for eating, drinks and leisure within walking distance.

We are located on Route 1. Although not a terribly busy section (compared to most of Southern Maine) please expect some traffic during peak hours.

Great location and very comfortable home

We really enjoyed our stay at Matt’s place. It was very comfortable for the four of us, two of which have slight mobility issues. It was nice to have the only steps be the steps to the front door. And THE VIEW! So fun to watch the water and the boats! Definitely recommend!

Great location, and charming home!

We loved our stay at Casco Bay! we enjoyed watching the tide all day, and the great location. The home is charming and cozy, and very well equipped with everything you would need. Nothing is more annoying when you rent a house and there is no salt and pepper! I definitely look forward to coming back :)

Great stay in Portland!

Loved the location and the amenities. The only downside was that the street in front of the property can get a little busy; however, the view if the water was amazing. The interior is just as pictured and the host was responsive when. I reached out with questions.

When it's all great!

Mother/daughter vacation 2024 After an unexpected airport delay, we were delighted at how easy this cozy gem was to find after midnight. We completely enjoyed our stay, and Mat was a fantastic host. There is a full display of local attractions and restaurants whichmade it easy to fill our days. This rental is in a great location for easy access to all we wanted to do. We enjoyed the evenings on the porch with the fire pit and the views of the harbor. We highly recommend staying here when you’re in the Portland area.

Maine stay

Mat the host was truly a super host. He was always available when needed and responded immediately. The house was very well stocked as opposed to other VRBO’s we have stayed at with one roll of toilet paper. We traveled with our dog and there is open land facing the water across the street. It was very convenient and dog friendly Downtown Portland is 10 minutes away and we always traveled by Uber because the cost of parking is often excessive. The convenience of being minutes to Portland without staying in the city with the dog was great

July visit to Portland

The house was perfect for us and is super convenient to Portland. One BR has a full or queen bed, and the other has 2 full beds. Cute decor. Living room and kitchen were perfect. The view was fabulous, you can see two lighthouses blinking from the front windows! Takes only a few minutes to get to Portland. Owner was super responsive! Thank you for a great stay.

Great location, beautiful views

Great spot - location super convenient to many things in Portland, right off 295. Road in front of the house is pretty busy but drivers responded consistently to the pedestrian blinking lights when we walked our dog over toward the water. Good neighborhoods nearby for running in. Mat was super responsive and helpful - didn’t realize he lives in the other half of the duplex! Great with recommendations and general communication. White noise machines in the bedrooms were great for drowning out traffic noises - nice touch.

Not worth the cost

The property was indeed on Casco Bay, but was not as private or with the amenities I would have expected for the price. The furniture was older, the cleanliness left quite a bit to be desired. When we had issues with the toilet backing up, we were told that the previous guests hadn't had a problem, and ultimately the host (who lives in the upstairs apartment) did nothing about it (too busy or away). It was not attractive to have a boarded up Airstream parked in the backyard and weeds growing around the property where there was supposed to be a deck for barbeque and such. Overall disappointing.

About the host

Hosted by Mathew Cardinali

Host profile image
A native of Maine who grew up in Kittery and lived all over New England. For this reason, I have a good perspective on where the best spots are in the area. I love traveling and am proud to be able to offer my home (I live in the condo upstairs) to other travelers who want a unique experience.

Why they chose this property

The views, the proximity to city amenities and recreational activities in nature.

What makes this property unique

I've lived in Boston, MA, Portsmouth, NH, Denver, CO, San Diego, CA and Pittsburgh so far. What keeps drawing me back to Maine and Portland in particular, is the unique coastline north and south. The islands in Casco Bay are unique because there are so many and they are relatively easy to access. Go north and explore the rocky rugged shore. Go south and lounge on beautiful beaches. The other great thing about Portland is all the innovative amenities like great food and entertainment in the city.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
