A five-minute walk to award-winning Scratch Bakery, Willard Scoops’ homemade ice cream, Rosemont Market & Bakery, and coffee shops. A five-minute drive or twenty-minute bike ride across the bridge brings you to the heart of Portland’s Old Port rich with restaurants, galleries, and shops. A ten-minute drive to the famous Portland Headlight and the cliff-walk in Fort Williams Park. Five lighthouses are within a few miles’ radius, including Two Lights and the not-to-be missed seafood and sweeping ocean views at The Lobster Shack. Plenty of opportunities in South Portland, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, and environs for biking, kayaking, sailing, fishing, sunset cruising, lobster clam bakes, whale watching, and more. Easy days trips to Kennebunkport, Ogunquit, Freeport for L.L.Bean shopping, Sebago Lake, Boothbay Harbor, and beyond.

Make this beautiful Loveitts Field home your Maine getaway. Known for its working waterfront, South Portland is on Portland Harbor, overlooking the skyline of Portland and the Casco Bay islands. Just over Casco Bay Bridge is Portland, the largest city in Maine which retains old-world charm. Bon Appetit declared Portland "Restaurant City of the Year;" Forbes called Portland “America’s Most Livable City;” and Thrillist named Portland one of “the most underrated food cities in the U.S,” and the Old Port “one of the best drinking neighborhoods.” This refined home offers the perfect combination of proximity to superb dining, beaches, watersports, sightseeing, and shopping, while providing a peaceful, relaxing haven. A house in which lasting memories are made.

Loveitts Field July-22
We recently rented from Anne for one month and the experience exceeded our expectations. Anne was a gracious host, and we were made to feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The home had all the amenities (and more) one would expect for an extended stay and was beautifully decorated throughout. The location and the view made our stay memorable - with great vistas of Casco Bay from the living room and primary bedroom. Willard Beach and several local bakeries/cafes were within a short walking distance. As someone who grew up in Maine, but currently lives away, I could not think of a more ideal "homecoming" and highly recommend the property to future guests.
