About this property

Willard Beach Get Away - Dog Friendly - Steps from the shore!

Perfect for a Maine summer vacation. This 400 sq foot studio apartment is one house away from Willard Beach, 4 blocks to Willard Square, 1 mile from downtown South Portland, and a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland, ME.

The apartment has a full bath, a kitchenette, air conditioning, free wifi, cable TV, a small porch with seating for three, and a completely fenced-in back yard with a small grill. It has hardwood floors throughout, cathedral ceilings, and plenty of natural light with lovely views of Casco Bay.

Bringing your pup? It is a very dog-friendly area and you'll be able to find lots to do with your dog; however, if you'd like to go out to dinner or do an activity where your dog is not welcome, I am happy to arrange very trustworthy dog-walking/sitting services.

No smoking or vaping allowed in the studio or on the porch. There is a private back yard and a shed for smoke/ vape breaks.

About the host

This is the house I grew up in. My parents bought the house in 1967 when living on Willard Beach wasn't a particularly desirable thing to do!

In 1999, we built an in-law apartment for my father and moved back into the main house which is attached to the apartment by a shared breezeway. My father passed away in 2014 and we renovated his space and are happy to offer it to people (with or without their canine family members) on a weekly or monthly basis.

I love Maine and South Portland and am happy to share my love of and history with this fabulous place with vacationers. Of course, I am also happy to leave you completely in peace!

Why they chose this property

I was so thrilled to move back to the beach house I grew up in and give my children the same opportunities I had as a child. This area is just so great. Good schools, close to downtown Portland and all that Portland has to offer. All this and in a neighborhood that is totally walkable, with access to the beach, the Greenbelt, and Willard Square.

You couldn't ask for a better neighborhood to raise a family, live and grow old in!

What makes this property unique

Vacationers will see why I fell in love with this place. The views coming down the street, out the unit's windows, and strolling along the beach are amazing. Enjoying your morning coffee in the sky chair on the back porch with the birds chirping, the surf rolling in and the boats cruising by is hard to beat.

The convenience of being so close to Willard Square, Mill Creek, and downtown Portland are another reason this place is so great. As realtors always say, "location, location, location."
