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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Perfect location for our holiday, we used it as a base to explore locally. The house itself is a lovely old house with real character. We loved staying here!
We absolutely loved this property! The beach was beautiful, the home was wonderful, and the neighborhood was so sweet!! we could’ve sat on the front deck for hours!! The home was so beautifully decorated, and so cozy! We absolutely love this place and I’ve already talked about coming back! Thank you for a wonderful experience and family vacation!!
We loved our stay here. Everything was clean. My kids loved the toy blocks and running out on the beach. There is a playground nearby on the beach. Views are amazing and the area is very quiet. Great vacation!
The house is everything as described plus so much more. The family had the most incredible time and the people we met added so much to our trip. It was perfect.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The view was breathtaking, we were able to observe all of the sailboats in the area and the dog-friendly beach. John was a great host and we will definitely return when in the area.
The pictures absolutely do not do this place justice! Very charming and the beach is amazing! The house has everything you need and has amazing views. it’s very close to downtown Portland and there is some great restaurants right in the neighborhood. The host John is super friendly and accommodating. Absolutely plan to stay here again!
Oh my… the view, the deck, the beach, the dogs on the beach every morning and evening, Scratch bakery down the street, comfortable bed…friendly owner downstairs….we want to return for sure!
This location is EVERYTHING!!! Right on the beach, cozy accommodations with spacious bedrooms was perfect for the 4 of us - with the 3rd bedroom, we could've included another couple! Host John was lovely!!!
