Charming 110-year former Inn 10' from the Ocean!

This is the Extremely rare. "On the Beach" Beach house. Over 100 years old. This charming Old Ocean Front Inn was converted in the 80's to a 2 family home. I live in 1 unit. It is rich in character and history and has been modernized with everything you could need. Steps off the deck onto the sandy beach. Breath taking views from your 40' deck overlooking Willard Beach and the islands. Watch the ships, from cruise ships over 1000' and tankers as big to the local lobster men as they all pass right in front of you. Located on a neighborhood beach, this home is only 10 minutes from Portland's Old Port Area and the waterfront. House is comfortably furnished and all you need to provide is your sunblock and beach towels. I,ll make sure you have everything else you need.

Happiest Holiday
Wonderful rental with everything needed for our family celebration. Three bedrooms provided comfortable sleeping space. Large dining table was perfect for our Thanksgiving meal. Fantastic views, walks on the beach, and a cozy fireplace made it hard to leave. A short drive to downtown Portland to watch the tree lighting ceremony and Christmas festivities was no problem. Thank you John for exceeding our expectations in every way. The beach toys and activities for our two year old were a big plus.

Great location
Just like in the pictures the house faces the water in a great location in South Portland. The space is very nice for a family: 3 bedrooms, with the largest facing the water, and a sizable living room. The building is traditional "old Maine" with some upgrades, e.g., bath/shower and washer-dryer are newer, but the kitchen is older, small but functional. The host is friendly & responsive.

We truly enjoyed our experience staying in this home. The owner, John, was a so kind and friendly. The views were more than we expected, from the beach to cruise ships rolling through the harbor, and light houses and schooners passing through the bay. It was so lovely.

First off, John is an awesome human being and very attentive, but chill. This upstairs of a large residence is on the beach and has a beautiful deck which is great for sipping morning coffee or an evening beverage. If my travels take me back to the Portland area, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks, John!
