The kids are sure to sleep soundly after playing by the seaside at Crescent Beach State Park. Look for shiny seashore treasures, stick a toe in the water or throw a ball around!

This stretch of coastline is often on the itineraries of visitors to Cape Elizabeth. But Crescent Beach State Park isn't the only highlight in the area. Portland Head Light, Victoria Mansion, and Higgins Beach are some other interesting sights nearby.

Great option in Old Port. Very convenient to dining, shopping and boat tours. You can walk to everything. Courtyard was lovely in the evening for cocktails around the firepit. Would definitely recommend!

9.6/10 Exceptional! (219 reviews)

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Portland. The location can't be beat -- within a couple of blocks to the ferry terminal and Old Town shops and restaurants. The building is next to a police station and my family and I felt very safe. The unit was immaculate, modern, and fully equipped. Onsite parking was a huge bonus, as was the friendly and helpful staff. I would, without hesitation, stay at The Docent's Collection again.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,005 reviews)

We had an amazing stay at Cliffhouse and were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful it is. The only minor issues we encountered were that the pullout couch was quite uncomfortable for our kids, and it was frustrating that children aren’t allowed in the main pool—everyone with kids ends up crowded around a small pool off to the side. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic!
