Restful Getaway
We visited Cape Elizabeth for a quick getaway for my wife's birthday. Between both of us working and my three girls' crazy school schedules (and way too much screen time for all of us), we needed a little escape. The house and location was perfect for us. The house was clean and beautiful. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed being so close to the coast. My older girls (12 and 14) enjoy cooking and for them the kitchen was the big highlight, I really enjoyed it also. They baked treats for mom on Saturday while I cooked dinner. My wife enjoy time relaxing in the hot-tub and laying by the fire. It was nice having wood right there in the garage! The owners were fantastic, quick to respond when needed and even helped out by bringing over a mixer for the girls to finish off their icing for mom's cake. Being so close to Portland, I thought we would spend some time there but everyone just wanted to spend time relaxing at the house and around Cape Elizabeth. We had an amazing short getaway and my family is already planning a return visit!

Wonderful stay
House is just as described and as the pictures look. It is very well stocked, beautiful and comfortable. Marilys, the owner, is very responsive and wonderful. Location right down the street from Ft William is great. Quiet neighborhood and very relaxing. Look forward to returning and/or renting another property from them. Highly recommend.

Host profile image
My husband and I own 4 beautiful vacation homes in the wonderfully popular Willard Beach area (see other properties #1112052, #903832 and #4019326) and our newest homes in Cape Elizabeth, just a few blocks away (#1660664) and also near Higgins Beach (#1885186). We live a short walk away from our 4 Willard Beach/Cape Elizabeth vacation homes and both work at home. Managing our vacation rental homes is our full-time occupation and has been my full-time occupation for almost 16 years. We respect our guests' privacy but are always available to assist our guests with anything they might need.

We have always loved hosting friends and family in our own home and greatly enjoy hosting guests in our vacation homes.

Why they chose this property

We fell so in love with this property, while living nearby, and wrote a note to the owner, asking if she would sell us the house. 6 months later, we were moving in! We raised our children in this fantastic family home and, after 14 years, we decided to share it with others and undertook a massive renovation to meet the needs of our traveling guests, completed in late May, 2019.

We initially fell in love with the back yard. It was one of the prettiest back yards we had ever seen. Add to that the massive kitchen and all the living areas and we wanted so badly to make this our family home. After 6 months of conversations with the owner, who was not listing it for sale, we made it our family home and lived there for 14 years. Our children have amazing memories of growing up there and spending summers at the gorgeous private sandy neighborhood beach. When it was time for us to downsize, with our kids grown up now, we knew that we couldn't part with this incredibly special property. We began a massive redesign to meet the needs of vacation families and are so happy to share this home with our guests.

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of this special property is the quietude and privacy of the home and yet the easy walkability to so many popular places. In one direction, you can reach all of the popular gourmet food shops, the restaurants, bakeries and ice cream shops in the area in 10-20 minutes and in the other direction you can walk to the most photographed light house in the world in 10 minutes. You also have a number of beaches within walking distance and our absolutely gorgeous private neighborhood beach is a 7-minute walk. Because the beach is private, you can have open alcohol with your dinner picnic at night and roast hot dogs and amores with your private bonfire. The beach is considered the prettiest beach in all of Cape Elizabeth and, unlike every other neighborhood beach, its a true sandy swimming beach, not at all pebbly.
