This new 1BR South Portland cottage is perfect for a couple but offers plenty of space for entertaining. You’re just 10 minutes from all of the historical buildings and restaurants of downtown Portland. Take a boat cruise or stroll through town. Sleeps 2.
ABOUT THE COTTAGE
Enter this brand-new, yet quaint cottage through white barn doors. The open-concept floor plan welcomes you with red, heated concrete floors, natural light, and designer décor.
In the spacious living room, you’ll find a sofa, love seat, and a red leather chair. Invite your friends over for an evening of games and sampling of local craft brews. Or make hot cocoa and snuggle up with your mate in front of the 64” flat-screen TV for a movie marathon.
The kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, and a 5-burner gas range. (There’s also a grill, stored out front—perfect for a seafood supper.) Grab a seat at the bar (4 stools) and sip a glass of wine while someone else does the cooking.
Follow the hardwood steps up to find a full bath with white tiled flooring and a tub/shower combo. The large vanity offers plenty of space to spread out.
Just beyond, the master features a king bed with white linens. Stay up to catch the late show on the 48” flat-screen TV.
You can pack light for this trip because a stacked washer and dryer are tucked in a closet in the bedroom.
On rainy days and cold nights you can stay occupied with the books, board games, Play Station, and complimentary WiFi.
This South Portland cottage combines comfort with charm and is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway.
Please note that all leases require a minimum 31-night term.
THE LOCATION
This brand-new cottage is located just 10 minutes from downtown Portland. History lovers won’t want to miss the Old Port, Portland Observatory, and Wadsworth Longfellow House. Stroll along the Eastern Promenade and gaze out at the bay.
When you’ve worked up an appetite, there are plenty of options for every palate. For an authentic waterfront experience, check out Andy’s Old Port Pub. If you’re in the mood for international cuisine, try Asmara, featuring the flavors of Eritrea. And for a sweet treat, Beal’s Ice Cream is always a hit.
For an over-water adventure, take a ferry or cruise to see the Casco Bay Islands. If you’re an aficionado of craft brew, Maine Beer Tours has you covered. And animal lovers will appreciate the Odyssey Whale Watch.
When you need to pick up groceries, there are several farmers’ markets that run from April to November. Deering Oaks Park (Saturdays) and Monument Square (Wednesdays) are 2 of the best.
Or stay closer to the cottage and visit the Ocean House Market, a local favorite, less than a half mile away. They offer fresh seafood as well as prepared meals and sandwiches.
Three miles from the home, you’ll find a private parcel of land with beach access—a great spot to catch some rays in the summer or to stroll year-round.

- "Charming cottage in a convenient location to area beaches. The cottage was thoughtfully decorated, with a well supplied kitchen. The proximity to burbling Trout Brook provided a calming offset to traffic on Ocean Ave. Comfortable bed and all was very clean. Our host was very responsive. The gardens were lovely." - "We loved the cleanliness and home like space" - "We were on our honeymoon riding up and down the east coast and settled in Maine for a few nights.

The house is comfortable and clean with a well appointed kitchen making cooking for a family easy. There is an outdoor shower and a patio with a large table to eat your lobsters from Alewifes outside.

Our guest suite includes a large room with a Queen bed, a separate bedroom, an open-concept living area with dining space, and a private bathroom with a large shower.
Great for couples, business travelers, and families.
Here's the full scoop: Our neighborhood is quiet, picturesque, woodsy and charming. Our home is modern, clean, comfortable and spacious. You can walk to a private, neighborhood-only rocky beach in less than ten minutes and contemplate the ocean surf. In 20-25 minutes, you can walk (or drive in 5 minutes) to one of several beautiful state parks and beaches. Crescent Beach is wide, sandy, and pretty, perfect for sunbathing and walking. At Kettle Cove, you can watch local lobstermen haul in their catch, while at Two Lights, you can take in the spectacular ocean views with rolling surf and rocky coastline.
We’re a 15-minute drive into downtown Portland, where you can explore Old Town and its diverse culinary scene, artistic community, historic waterfront, wonderful entertainment, and fabulous shopping experiences.
Your private guest suite is located on the lower floor of our home (only 6 steps down!), with plenty of large windows looking into our wooded front yard. You might see deer nibbling on the branches, or a red fox strolling by.

If you’re traveling as a couple, this is a romantic and secluded space for the two of you. You’ll find robes and slippers in the closet.

Deck, backyard. Parking in the driveway.
Interaction with guests
We live here year-round and work from home, so we’re usually around. If not on site, we’re available by text and/or phone. We’ll always try to meet and greet you at some point. However, we will respect your privacy and if you’re here to escape- retreat and be left alone, we will certainly honor that too.
A little bit about us: Sam is a native Mainer and Kathryn is a Canadian, from southern Ontario. Both of us lived in Arizona for a number of years before returning back East, where life is better. We found our perfect home after a three-year search, and are happy to help others discover why Maine is so special.
Sam is an alternative energy consultant, specializing in solar energy development. He loves to go out walking and exploring, and can direct you to interesting places on or off the beaten path. He used to work in the seafood industry, so he can tell you what to look for and what to know if you go to the fish/lobster market.
Kathryn is a jewelry designer and writer. Her contemporary-style work can be found in several museum shops and galleries in Arizona and in Maine. She is happy to be learning the lingo of Maine (you CAN get theah from heah!), and thinks everyone here is so friendly. And it’s true!
Other things to note
You'll use a shared back entrance but will have your own private space just six steps down to the lower level. You can close your doors for complete privacy. The entire bedroom, family room, second bedroom and bathroom are completely private and all yours. No bathroom sharing!
- "Great place, wonderful hosts!" - "Great hosts. Lovely suite. Will be happy to come again." - "Huge, roomy, close to everything and moderately priced. The address of the property needs to be clearly displayed on all electronic communications (texts, emails etc) from third parties." - "We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others looking for a flexible lodging arrangement near beaches and Portland. It's difficult to tell from the photos, but there are two private sleeping areas, and a common area between the two bedrooms. Everything was thoughtfully arranged in the space, and the hosts are very kind and pleasant. They are on site and available, but not intrusive in any way. We appreciated the convenience of making our own breakfast and being able to store cold drinks. Nice, quiet residential neighborhood."

Lovely coastal Maine cottage-style home in Cape Elizabeth with a bright and open floor plan. Our home is located in a peaceful family residential neighborhood and abuts to several acres of wooded greenbelt trails. We are near the Spurwink Marsh and River, home of the Rachel Carson wildlife preserve and we are just a mere 2.5 to 6 miles to some of the finest beaches in Maine. The vibrant small city of Portland is 6 miles from our home. Come and enjoy her many restaurants, micro brews and sights!
Our home is a cottage-style Maine home and has 4 plus one bedrooms: The master suite has a king size bed with private full bath. Bedroom #2 has a queen memory bed (comfy!) along with a desk and sitting couch. Bedroom #3 has a queen size bed with sitting chair. Bedroom #4 has a beautiful California King bed with sitting chairs. The plus #5 bedroom is what we call the boat room. This is the 700 sq. foot bonus room. It has two beautifully crafted full sized boat beds, big screen TV and a pedestal table with chairs. The walls are lined with built in book selves loaded with children's books. This room can be used as a bedroom or living space. All bedrooms are on the second floor. In addition to the master bath on the second floor there is a full sized bathroom just off the hallway with double sinks and a separate toilet and shower room that can be closed off with a pocket door.
The first floor of our home has an open and airy floor plan: a gourmet kitchen opens into the living room which then opens to a lovely dinning room. From the kitchen you may walk right on to the blue stone terrace in the back yard. Also, on the first floor is a mudroom and half bath and a private office space.
Outside you will find a fully fenced backyard and large blue stone terrace that backs up to conservation green space. Our home also has a wonderful front porch to cozy up with a good summer read or a morning cup of coffee!
***this home has central air conditioning for the relief from the hot and humid summer days and wonderful radiant base-board heat for the chilly Fall and Winter season.
- "As developers/builders, we are not easily impressed. This house did it. It had special features and appliances, great opportunity to cook, to sit on a flower filled porch, super comfortable. While incredible, you didn’t feel like your everyday movement would ruin it. Great location, quiet neighborhood." - "This wonderful property was the perfect place for our family of seven. The main floor is open, welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and appliances anyone might need. Upstairs the five bedrooms had comfortable beds, and the bathroom facilities were perfect for us. The natural light that flows throughout the house is excellent. Communication with the owners was terrific. Liz and John provided all the support we needed during our stay. Our experience was excellent in every respect. We would not hesitate to return to this property for our next family gathering in the Greater Portland area. A big thank you to Liz and John!!"

Built in 2022/23, this beautiful home is passive solar located on a private road in the woods in Cape Elizabeth. You will feel you are in Maine the second you walk in the home with the beautiful nautical features and decor. With large windows in every room (no curtains except in the guest room/office) you will enjoy the natural light from sun up to sun down. The home was designed, so you can enjoy mother nature while being comfortable inside and enjoy watching the friendly wildlife like deer, birds, turkeys, squirrels, chipmunks, etc.
The living room with a fireplace and beautiful white sectional is open to the dining room and kitchen. There is a tv in the living room, owner's suite, and in the basement. Only a short drive, uber or bike away from the famous Portland Headlight, downtown Portland, restaurants, bars, and most importantly the ocean and beautiful beaches. This home is perfect for adults wanting to getaway and relax.
This is the owner's primary home, so it offers everything a home would need to be comfortable. The owner will be staying on the property next door (through the woods), so she will be close by to help with any questions or issues, BUT you will still have complete privacy. There is enough room to park small/medium sized car in the garage. The property is sprayed for ticks and mosquitos in the summer to cut back significantly on the annoying bugs that come from living in the woods. Keep your eyes peeled for fireflies at night or the beautiful sounds of peepers from the pond next door.
- "The house is beautiful, and clean with everything you could want for comfort. We were exploring the area to possibly relocate and our experience was nothing but positive. Thank you Jocelyn we appreciate how easy you made it." - "This modern and clean home was welcoming and had all of the amenities we needed. We were given permission to bring our small rescue dog and appreciated the secluded location, where she was able to relax, away from people and other dogs. The location is close to the shore and an easy drive to restaurants in Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, and Portland. Our stay in Maine to visit family was peaceful and effortless, thanks to this rental."

This 5.5 acre luxurious estate property with a large main house and an attached apartment was fully renovated in the modern farmhouse style by one of the Portland area's leading experts in that style.

Captains Cove is located in the quiet coastal community of Broad Cove in historic Cape Elizabeth, ME. Found on the southeast corner of Cape Elizabeth, the summer sea breeze brings cooling comfort, salty scents and sounds from the ocean daily. The neighborhood is perfect for morning walks to the local rocky Broad Cove beach to watch sunrise and arriving and departing ships, while enjoying a morning cup of coffee. The neighborhood also features a Greenbelt trail which offers easy trail walking / hiking through the woods, with the sounds of birds chirping and woodpeckers working away on the trees. The close proximity to the ocean and the quiet of the neighborhood were the biggest attractions for our expanding family.
Captains Cove features one Master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, one twin and one double bedroom which share a full bathroom on the second floor. There is a roomy eat in kitchen, with a dining room, living room, laundry room and 1/2 bath on the first floor. The living room has a game / puzzle table and large, comfy sectional couch, perfect for reading, listening to music, or taking a restorative vacation nap.
On the ground level there is a comfortable family room, with vintage Ms. PacMan table, couch, game table, large flat screen TV, a Queen bedroom and full bathroom. When not using the family room space for the entire household, it makes for a nice private suite for guests.
Outside there is a large walk out patio with large sectional couch, swivel chairs and table for outdoor living. Plentiful sunshine in the afternoon lends itself to stretching out on the couch with a good book. In the evening there is lighting over the patio to continue your outdoor time after returning from the beach. There is an outdoor propane heater for cooler nights under the lights on the patio.
For the beach enthusiasts, Captains Cove is close to several beaches and state parks. Enjoy biking to Two Lights State Park, Kettle Cove Beach, or Crescent Beach State Park. Kettle Cove Beach is a family favorite for a cooling dip after dinner on a hot summer night, usually followed up with a visit to the Kettle Cove Creamery and Shack for an ice cream. Of course you can totally bypass the swim and go for a bike ride straight for the ice cream if that suits you as well! In addition to Ice Cream the Shack Cafe offers other items such as burgers, fries, coffee and espresso drinks during the day.
A little further away, less than 8 miles are in order of least distance from the house are Higgins Beach, Scarborough Beach State Park, Ferry Beach and Pine Point. For surfing, paddle surfing and kite boarding, Higgins, Scarborough and Pine Point are popular. For relaxing, swimming, sunning, and building sand castles, Kettle Cove, Crescent Beach and Ferry Beach are great!
There are several eating establishments in Cape Elizabeth, ranging from sit down restaurants to take out or eat in style, close by to the neighborhood. The Good Table and Tacos y Tequila are less than a mile away from the house. The Good Table offers Lunch and Dinners and has a delicious Sunday brunch featuring very large and delicious Cinnamon rolls. Tacos y Tequila offers lunch and dinners with a mostly Mexican menu, and a wall of taps featuring several local micro brews, ciders, and wines. Less than 3 miles away are Sea Glass Restaurant at Inn by the Sea with more of a dining experience, and Tostones a Latin American eat in / take out restaurant and bar.
For cycling enthusiasts, Captains Cove is a great launching pad for several road loops around Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, South Portland and Portland, ranging from 2 to 35 mile local loops.
- "We had a wonderful stay at Captain’s Cove! We got in on a pretty rainy day, but were so excited to find the sweetest welcome from Mike and Jessie - local goodies and a note made us all smile for sure. The house was very clean and inviting, great setup for our family of 6 also. The beds and linens were comfortable, and they even had really nice beach towels for our use. We didn’t use the kitchen a whole lot, but there was more than what you could need to cook some amazing meals. We enjoyed a family game/movie night in the basement one night and sat out under the patio lights another night - such a fun and relaxing end to our Maine vacation! And when we were leaving, Jessie was kind enough to meet us to make sure we had a good stay and enjoyed our first trip to Maine. Overall, Captain’s Cove was just perfect. Close, but not too close to Portland, as well as OOB for a day trip, and also the friendliest, most welcoming hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. Thanks, Mike and Jessie, for a great stay!"

- "This property is very clean, quiet and nicely decorated. The place was very comfortable and was a great home away from home. There's even a big porch where you could enjoy the outdoors without going anywhere. The owner is in town and is easily accessible if you have any questions or concerns. She also gave us a lot of information about the restaurants in the area. We loved walking to Willard Beach and just a short drive (you could walk if so inclined) to the Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse. The nearby restaurants are so good and I miss them already. It is on the 3rd floor and so you have to not mind steps. The ceilings are slightly sloped so you have to be careful of not hitting your head in some parts of the unit."

- "Excellent property and experience!" - "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!"

The private beach down the block is lovely to walk to and makes for a great place to enjoy the sunset. In July/August, we were able to swim in the water. It was cold, but refreshing! The house is as advertised. Four stories with great views and large decks. Plenty of rooms and a large living area. The beds were comfortable -- not too hard, not too soft.

Quiet, friendly and safe neighborhood, would definitely recommend others to stay here." - "We loved the sunroom. Large enough for our family of 7. Close to Portland. Beaches are nearby. Nice neighborhood. Enjoyed our stay." - "The stay started with no towels, a broken bed that the frame was held up by. 2x4. The twin bed frame was totally unsteady and also fell apart- so one child and two adults sleeping on mattress on the floor! The deck was unsafe- bathroom door difficult to open.

The Kettle Cove neighborhood is beautiful and relaxing, safe and quiet, and the two beaches are steps away. We live in our 200 year-old farm house, and we love to host guests at our guesthouse , which is separate, independent, and private. We are always happy to share the huge lawn and fire-pit with our guests. We are quiet, yet friendly, inviting and respectful of our guests' privacy. The Red-Brick patio in the back yard is reserved for our guests.
We live in the house attached to our guesthouse, and we enjoy hosting guests from around the world. We are quiet and friendly, and all of our interaction with our guests is at their pleasure.
LONGER THAN WEEKLY STAYS ARE WELCOME.
- "This cute little carriage house was built into the passageway behind the main house and the barn. It comfortably fit our party of 3 adults with a nice size kitchen, a single bathroom, and spacious seating areas both inside and out. Our flight was delayed, and when we arrived, there was yogurt and fruit in the fridge waiting for us. There is a stand selling ice cream, burgers, and lobster rolls within walking distance, and the Cape Elizabeth beach is a short drive away. Lovely stay!"

Guests who are looking for a peaceful vacation to enjoy nature and ocean views in an antique house will appreciate their stay. Sounds of the ocean waves can be heard through the windows at night, soothing you to fall asleep.
The house is within walking distance of several beaches and state parks. Dyer’s Cove Beach is right outside your door (0.07 miles away) and can be seen from two of the bedrooms, the dining room, the kitchen and the deck. The Lobster Shack Restaurant is right across the street, overlooking the ocean. You can sit outside at the picnic tables, breath in the salty sea breeze, and then walk along the expansive and rocky coast after enjoying your meal (roughly 1.5 miles long). Two Lights State Park can be entered by walking 0.3 miles up the road and onto a dirt path leading into the woods. The park includes several private grills and picnic tables, which face the ocean and are perfect for outdoor barbecue parties. Kettle Cove Beach and Crescent Beach State Park are both 1.4 miles away.
Please be aware that the house was built more than 130 years ago. The woodwork and hardwood floors are original; there are scratches and dark areas in the wood that come with the patina of age. The house sits in an open ocean environment. Salt spray, dampness, foggy morning air, and high winds are hallmarks of this area, and may affect your stay.
Portland is a 20 minute drive away. It is rated among one of the best foodie cities in the country for good reason. You will never want to leave Maine after experiencing the fine dining that Portland has to offer. Addendum:
Check the guidebook for activities and safe dining locations.
House has a land-line, and strong internet.
Cellphone reception is limited due to the rocky location, but guests will receive signal a quarter mile up the road. We are sorry but there are no pets allowed. We are firm on this.
We are open to off-season tenants. The monthly off-seasonal rate is fifty per cent of the seasonal rate, and includes utilities. Off season begins November 1st; ends April 1st.
Please respect our request that pets not be brought on the premises.
Other things to note
The bathroom is an “old fashioned” set up with a water closet (toilet) and additional sink separated by a door to a room containing the bath/shower and larger sink. There is one toilet, in the water closet, so it’s not a true half bath,
other than having a separate sink and two entrances. IOW, toilet and sink can be occupied separately while bath/shower area is in use.

Plus you can enjoy beautiful professional design rather than an impersonal Best Western in the industrial part of Portland (that is also being used to house the homeless)
The space is unique because I am an interior designer so I have put my skill to the test creating a home that reflects the beautiful beach surroundings we get to enjoy everyday, all year round. Your space is very impressive & people often comment that it is even more beautiful in person & way larger than it appears in pictures.
I enjoy updating (i.e., retail therapy shopping) so don't be surprised by a new couch or painting that could differ from the last time I posted pictures. This is the fun part of Air BnB for me. I like to "Wow!" people and I really enjoy providing a vacation experience like I wish I could find when I am on vacation. I get disappointed so often by places when I vacation. I do not want you to be disappointed..
Choose our Air Bnb and let us pamper you. My joy comes from making sure you have a fantastic vacation. Maine does the rest ❤️
Warmly,
Deborah and Jim

SPINDRIFT is your perfect coastal escape, for it is a quintessential Maine rustic cottage nestled right at the tide's edge, where the rhythm of the Atlantic sets the tone for your stay. Spindrift captures the essence of ocean living. Here, the ever-changing view stretches across the Atlantic, where you'll watch lobstermen haul straps, sailboats and recreational boats drift by, and cruise ships glide across the horizon. The Adirondacks provide you with a front-row seat to Maine's coastal magic.
The space
What makes this listing truly unique is its striking proximity to the ocean's edge. As the saying goes, you are ON the ocean or you are not. Spindrift IS! Though the Cottage is part of our home, you have your own private parking space, private entrances, a sunroom which includes tables, chairs, a small refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, eating utensils and a rustic bedroom with a double bed, couch, TV, and recently renovated bathroom.
Guest access
The cottage consists of your private entrances into both the sunroom and bedroom. The sunroom has two entrances/exits: one facing a large front lawn and the other facing the ocean. The bedroom has, in addition, its own outside door. You may enter the bedroom from the sunroom or from its own outside door. The bedroom can be locked. You have unfettered use of our outdoor property and are encouraged to spend your time sitting in the Adirondacks chairs at the ocean's edge, or walking down to the rocks below the sea wall.
Other things to note
Spindrift is perfectly located for a quintessential Maine trip. The Lobster Shack Restaurant is steps away down Two Lights Road where patrons come from near and far to relish Maine's best lobster rolls. Also at the end of Two Lights Road-a minute's walk to a small pebble beach where the tide can be counted on to not only ebb and flow but to deposit treasure on the sand. In the other direction up Two Lights Road, you'll find the beautiful Two Lights State Park with walking trails and Crescent Beach State Park. For an evening out, the city of Portland is just six miles away with countless exquisite restaurants.
If you decide to stay at Spindrift you may find yourselves spending most of the day simply watching the Atlantic and the hard working Maine lobstermen haul their traps. You never know what will motor, sail, or swim by (yes, we have seen whales breaching off the rocks!). You're forewarned...the view is mesmerizing.
