About this property

The Coastal Connection

Welcome to The Coastal Connection, a bright and comfortable two-bedroom apartment in the heart of South Portland. This upstairs unit offers plenty of natural light, classic hardwood floors, and all the essentials for a relaxed Maine stay.

The space is fully furnished with a newly stocked kitchen, so you can settle in and feel at home whether you’re here for a few nights or a longer visit. There are two cozy bedrooms, one bathroom, and an inviting living area perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the coast.

Guests enjoy free on-site parking and a location that couldn’t be more convenient—just minutes from I-295 and 10 minutes to Portland’s Commercial Street with its waterfront restaurants, shops, and breweries. You’re also 15 minutes from Higgins Beach and about 20 minutes from Old Orchard Beach, making it easy to experience the best of southern Maine’s coastline.

While this is an older building, its natural light and simple charm make it a pleasant and practical home base for exploring Portland, the beaches, and beyond. Whether you’re here for work, adventure, or a quiet getaway, The Coastal Connection is your easy link to it all.

The house was amazing! Close enough to the towns but secluded enough we could truly relax.

The unit itself has a lot going for it. The layout is well done and made good use of the space. Just be aware that it’s on the second floor, and the winding staircase is more “character-building” than luggage-friendly.The bathroom was probably the weakest part of the unit and could use a little attention, but shower worked and water was hot. The most memorable feature, however, wasn’t listed in the amenities. The property offered a complimentary, full-time “botanical aromatherapy” experience that began before breakfast and continued well past bedtime. While we don’t know the exact source (there were other units with tenants), the smell was as dependable as the sunrise. If distinctive “herbal” fragrances are your thing, you’ll feel right at home. If not…well, at least you won’t have to wonder whether your sense of smell is working. Despite that, we enjoyed the stay overall. Eliminate the “mystery” scent and freshen up the bathroom, and this would be an easy 5-star property.

This place should not be rented as is. There are many liabilities that need to be addressed and it is not presented well or maintained well. Entry way door is filthy, mud room filthy, circular staircase to second floor is major liability, difficult to manage, needs non slip surfaces and should not be rented to those who are large, handicapped, with children, or who simply even have luggage. There is no smoking or vaping allowed but you sure can smell it from downstairs. Also the super loud tv or music throughout the whole night (2 in a row) with bass thumping the bedroom is not acceptable. Bath has mold on lighting and fan, black mold and hole in wall by shower, shower is not for large people and the shower tray was not installed correctly. Furniture is worse that you could find at goodwill including the nightmare inducing scary child chair from 50 years ago. I did like the kitchen, the folding table was cool but chairs? Appliances were great and clean there also were cleaning supplies!Honestly, someone from the management needs to do an inspection and make changes needed to be able to make it rentable or they should not be involved with renting it. Simply saying it is an older property is not enough, its on the Main Street of town, loud street noise and AC hasTo be running to attempt to drown the noise, smell and vibrations from traffic, and residents.
