This quintessential year-round Maine cottage is fully-renovated and is surrounded by stunningly beautiful English gardens and stone patios, with the patios and most rooms in the house enjoying lovely ocean views of the Portland shipping channel and the islands of Casco Bay.
This home is located in the very popular Willard Beach area of South Portland, and is also situated just 3 blocks from beautiful Cape Elizabeth, with easy access to even more beaches and coastal scenery.
The friendliness and walkability of our neighborhood and the easy access to Willard Beach has made this destination the most popular vacation destination in the entire Greater Portland area, as well as the "hottest" neighborhood for young families to reside in. Within a short walking distance of our cottage, you will find Willard Square, home to Scratch Bakery, featured in the New York Times, Bon Appetit, and ranked in the "Top 10 Bread Bakeries in the United States" and Willard Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe. Local residents make daily visits to Scratch for their famous handmade sourdough bagels and delectable breakfast pastries, desserts, breads and so much more. Also within a short walking distance from the cottage are several restaurants and ice cream shops, including the locally-owned but nationally recognized Otto's Pizza.

The sunny living room with ocean views was just renovated in 2016 with creamy white-painted shiplapped walls and bead board and beamed ceilings. This spacious room features a nautical-themed combination of creamy-white furniture, dressed with a beautiful array of navy and cream throw pillows, a unique designer coffee table made of a French antique basket on casters, a 40" samsung flatscreen and a Bose speaker system.
Adjacent and open to the living room is the sun room, with beautiful views of the ocean and the islands so close to the cottage. This room has a small dining table with two chairs from Maine Cottage and doubles as a delightful breakfast nook.
The dining room features a gorgeous 92" long designer dining table from Restoration Hardware with a rusted metal base and a reclaimed wooden top. Comfortable Pottery Barn chairs make for long and memorable dinners with family and friends.
The gourmet kitchen features a new SS Bosch gas range and dishwasher and is very generously appointed with service for 18 dining and silverware service and service for 18 glassware, in addition to an abundance of new pots and pans, bakeware, casserole dishes and every small appliance you would expect in a generously appointed kitchen. A large stainless steel gas grill is just outside the kitchen on it's own small stone patio in the back yard.
The stunningly beautiful English gardens and patios on this property are absolutely incredible and offer a delightful scent of flowers, combined with the salty sea air. You will enjoy beautiful ocean views from the patio and memorable evenings and dinners outside, with a large patio set featuring very comfortable chairs.
We also provide retro-style beach cruisers for exploring the delightful neighborhood, in addition to two kayaks for our guests to enjoy, as the water's edge is only 100 yards away.

About the host
Hosted by Marilys Regueiro, owner of Luxury Getaways Portland

I have enjoyed owning and operating our other furnished vacation rental homes for over 14 years now (one is Homeaway property #132471) and four newer homes are #1660664, #1885185, #1112052 and #903832. After buying our first and second vacation homes, we began looking for the perfect third vacation rental home to offer our guests and we searched for the perfect home for over 3 years! We wanted to find a home that we could downsize into when our kids are on their own and make that home available as a vacation home for the next 10 years until that time. We finally found our dream retirement home and are pleased to offer it to you, our guests!
Why they chose this property
This property was described to us months before it went on the market, at a time when we were considering placing offers on other neighborhood homes. Based on what we had heard abut this property, we reluctantly passed on other beautiful homes, holding out for this one to finally come to market. We have been so thankful every day since buying it and can not believe our good fortune in being the party selected to buy this special home among the many other offers the buyers received within two days of the home being listed for sale.
We fell in love with this home the minute we turned the corner and saw it from the outside. There is a very magical quality about this home that immediately cast a spell upon us as we walked down the stone path and through the lush and beautiful English gardens, towards the cottage. It is difficult to describe the special feeling you have when you approach this home through the beautiful "secret gardens" that you walk thru to reach the cottage, seeing the ocean on the other side. I love watching my guests experience this. Once inside, you can immediately see why the former owners had described the property as their "slice of heaven", and knew we had to make this home our own.

What makes this property unique
This property has the most amazing energy. There is a special "magical", happy vibe that everyone notices as they enter this home. You just don't want to leave! Although the happy feeling of this house is hard to pinpoint, exactly, there are certain elements that do not come through in the ad that do contribute to this. The views are better than they appear in the photos and you can see the ocean from more places in the house than what is depicted in the ad. The ocean is also closer to the house than appears in the photos. There us is a sunny quality about the home that is not particularly reflected in the photos, as taking photos of a sunny room can be quite a challenge. The floor plan is very welcoming--it's one of those homes that gives you a hug when you walk in. Taking a bath underneath the huge window is amazing! My teenage daughter likes that you can actually get a suntan while taking a bath--the sun streams in that brightly. All I can say is that it is the "happiest" house I have ever owned and we will never part with this house. It will be in our family forever. It's a house that you never, ever want to leave or part with.
This home also has a stone path adjacent to it which leads you to Willard Beach and Fisherman's Point--a gorgeous grassy knoll which we had been visiting for years. From Fisherman's Point, you can see while away the hours and enjoy the ever-changing scene of the Portland Shipping Channel and the Islands of Casco Bay. In any given hour, you may see cruise ships, freighters, tug boats, ferry boats, schooners and every other type of vessel pass by. It's a very special spot, from where you can enjoy interesting and beautiful views of the islands across the narrow shipping channel, in addition to two WWII forts and beautiful Willard Beach.
