I've made many trips to the Portland area over the last 40 years and this may be my new favorite place.

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.

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

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.

This contemporary two story addition floats like a tree house among apple trees. All the amenities of a hotel, but the feeling of your own home, surrounded by art from the 19th to 21st centuries (we are collectors and artists ourselves), on two acres with perennial gardens filled with foxglove, delphinium, sunflowers, dahlias, tulips and more overlooking a wetland: private entrance and parking, deck, grill, huge hot tub (shared) with expansive backyard and woods, Streaming TV, 500 Mbps Mesh Wifi, access to a canoe and kayak, efficiency kitchen, and all the quiet you can imagine. My husband and I occupy the main house to which this addition is attached, but the split level space is completely your own and not shared. Come enjoy the Foodie haven of Portland, Maine and the quiet elegance of rural living. Come to write your next novel or just get away. We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland and all the local beaches; as well as numerous woods walks and beach walks walking distance from our home. Bring your bike and paddle board, or borrow our canoe and kayak.
Book your dinner reservations in Portland, and your sleeping accommodations in the Artist's Tree House. Please note the kitchen is an efficiency kitchen. We have an induction hot plate, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and outdoor grill, but the kitchen is small. No dishwasher. No clothes washer or dryer. For wonderful, more extensive meals we suggest these great local restaurants: Leeward, Central Provisions, Twelve, Isa, Street and Co, Terlingua, Bao Bao, Davids 388, Fore Street, Regards, Bar Futo, Eventide Oysters, Izakaya Minato, Duckfat and Miyake--to name a few!
- "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!
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.

Our stay in Maine to visit family was peaceful and effortless, thanks to this rental."

Crescent Beach State Park is just a few minutes stroll away, via a private path through nature preserve. The path opens a good distance from the park's main entrance, so you'll be sure to find the privacy you desire. At Crescent Beach, you'll find soft sand, a gentle tide, and rocky coast line at both ends. You'll also find walking/jogging trails along the shore and through the woods in both directions. Popular activities include swimming, kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Kayak rentals are available right on the beach, at the Snack Bar.
If you like, drive or bike along Scarborough Marsh toward Higgins Beach (5.0 mi. away), Scarborough Beach (6.1 mi.), or Ferry Beach (7.0 mi.). Explore the rocky coast of Two Lights State Park (1.7 mi.), or picnic next to Portland Headlight at Fort Williams (6 mi.). Kayaking at nearby Scarborough marsh is also popular, and rentals are available on site.
You can also visit nearby farms to select locally harvested seafood and locally grown produce, then barbecue on the deck while watching sail boats and other watercraft pass by. Or, leave the dinner prep to others: 4 star dining and other fine establishments are right around the corner (0.2-0.5 mi.).
And of course, Portland's Old Port and Downtown await just 12-15 minutes away. Named by Frommer's Travel Guides as one of twelve "surprising, thriving and emerging world travel destinations," Portland offers great food, pubs, shops, music, art, scenic cruises, and more!

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."

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!"

Unwind in the infrared sauna or air bubble tub. Just a minute's walk to Pond Cove, and across the street, over 300 acres of top mountain biking and hiking trails.
