Great Stay - Amazing Location

I cannot say enough about the location! Our two families rented the upstairs and downstairs units, and were very happy with our stay. Great communication with the owner, well-appointed, comfortable beds. Would definitely stay here again.

Close access to beach

We had grandchildren 5 and 7 years old visiting in day, and beach toys and beach chairs were a welcome addition. Lack of wine glasses for us in evening, and need for more plastic cups in day was something we missed

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Townsend

Host profile image
I’m passionate about creating beautiful, comfortable spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Thoughtful design, quality details, and a welcoming atmosphere matter to me, and I take pride in making sure every stay is seamless, memorable, and well cared for. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer visit, my goal is for you to enjoy a top-notch experience from the moment you arrive until the day you leave—and to feel excited to come back again.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect balance of relaxed beach living and easy access to the city. Willard Beach is one of Southern Maine’s most loved spots—walkable, welcoming, and beautifully local—and being just steps from the sand makes it feel special in every season. You can walk to coffee, restaurants, and parks, watch the water change throughout the day, and still be in downtown Portland in about seven minutes. It’s a place where you don’t feel like a tourist—you feel like you belong, whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is how effortlessly it blends a true beachfront lifestyle with modern comfort and convenience. Being just 30 steps from Willard Beach is rare on its own, but pairing that with water views, a fully renovated interior, an outdoor shower, and thoughtful beach amenities makes this feel like a private coastal retreat rather than a typical rental. Add in the walkable neighborhood—where you can stroll to coffee, restaurants, and parks—and the fact that downtown Portland is only seven minutes away, and you have a stay that delivers both laid-back beach days and easy city access in one exceptional location.
