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.

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.

Guest Reviews:

- "From the minute you step foot onto the property, you can feel the love and care that has surrounded the grounds . The Dalias , sunflower, thistle, lilacs,and daisies ,bloom in an array of color. Apples blueberries and blackberries were bountiful and offered by the host , Bryan . My friend and I grew up in Cale Elizabeth and came back for our 50 HS reunion. We loved being able to stay in Cape Elizabeth, 5 minutes from the most photographed lighthouse in the world, first commissioned by George Washington, The Portland Headlight and Fort Williams offer a myriad of walking paths , a beach , picnic tables , food trucks, a gift shop and museum. Two lights and The Lobster Shack are close by as is Crescent Beach State Park . This property is 15 minutes from Portland and the bustling Old Port area known for its incredible restaurants, shops , bars and music . The East and Western Promenade's views are breathtaking and only a 10 min drive . The geese welcome you as you come and go and the 3 dogs on the property are incredibly friendly and well behaved. Everything was delightful. Sitting on the deck enjoying some Nespresso Coffee in the morning, meditating under the oldest apple- tree named” Grandma” and relaxing in the hot tub after a long day made us fall in love with “ Dragon-Fly Farm “ . We hated to leave ….and so will you ."

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!

Guest Reviews:

- "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."

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.

Absolutely recommend." - "Great stay at Higgins beach, unbeatable views, and great functionality at the house. Easy for a trip with friends or family"

Guest Reviews:

- "Always a comfortable & enjoyable time when we stay at Becky’s Cove. Can’t beat the views. Love the access to water. Hosts are wonderfully gracious. Looking forward to the next visit already." - "Sandy was a lovely hostess, quick to respond to our concerns, nothing major. The location is just perfect, beautiful views and very private but convenient to state parks and downtown Portland. Great to have a washer/dryer and kitchen is pretty well equipped. No A/C is a negative although Sandy provided fans which helped a little. We had a wonderful vacation here."

Guest Reviews:

- "My family (two elementary school-aged kids, two adults, and three mid-70s grandparents) had a blast at this lovely house right on the water. The kids loved exploring the water and all of the marine life there. It was so peaceful to simply open up the windows of the house and get the sights, smells, and sounds of the waterfront. There were a couple of very minor issues that came up, and the property manager was very quick to respond and remedy things by phone/text."
