About this house rental

Situated in South Portland, this charming house for $500 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Thank you for a great summer 2018 - we are no longer booking the whole house, but the Inspired Suite (VRBO 1086542) is available during August, September and beyond. The suite works well for couples with a small child or older child on the queen sofa bed (or for a second adult). This home was designed out of a love for nature, art, and relaxation. The soft rounded walls encasing the large modern windows give a sense of openness to the outdoors. Over two acres of land offer total peace and tranquility. You will be inspired, recharge, and cherish your time in this custom eco-friendly and art-filled home! Upon entering the home, the open concept kitchen, dining, and living room welcome you inside. The custom designed kitchen has maple cabinets and slate counters and is fully equipped to cook any meal. The spacious and light-filled living room offers views of the garden and a flat screen TV with cable, Apple TV, and DVD player. Two downstairs bedrooms (one with queen bed and the other with twin bed) share a large beautiful bath. Upstairs, the private suite offers a spacious bedroom with comfortable queen bed; a grand bathroom with spa tub; and a large sitting room with flat screen TV, books, and high-end queen sofa bed. The house is best suited for up to five guests, but can accommodate up to seven guests in beds. There is typically an additional nightly charge for more than 5 guests -- please inquire with your specific situation. A well-equipped gym is available on the first floor. Guests have access to the entire house including all the outside amenities: new fieldstone patio, covered breezeway for reading or morning coffee, new BBQ with additional burner for our lobster pot, and flower gardens. The washer and dryer is also available to guests.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us this Labor Day weekend. We had a wonderful time, really latched on to all Maine has to offer and finding it hard to peel ourselves away. The two of you are absolutely fabulous hosts! We truly appreciate all the knowledge and suggestions you had to offer. We enjoyed the Portland Schooner Co sunset sail and Island Creek Oysters in particular and would certainly recommend both to future guests. Also Bite Into Maine and the lemon tart from Scratch. The list of things we loved ends only with the time to enjoy them. We very much appreciate your gracious hospitality and personal touch we would not get elsewhere. Breakfast was delicious and the berries served -- almost as refreshing as your kindness and generosity. We'd love to stay again so we'll keep you in mind for future ventures this way.

We spent a whole week with our 2 year-old daughter at Elena's house. What a great vacation we had! The house is big, super clean, fully-equipped (everything you need for the beach is also provided) and if there is anything else you might need, Elena is readily available at anytime to help you with any info on the surroundings, great spots to visit, restaurants and general directions. An impressive choice of small and pleasant beaches are just 10 minutes away and so is the town of Portland which is certainly worth visiting for a day trip or for dinner in one of its gourmet restaurants. But most of all, the property, probably because it belongs to such a warm person, will feel just like your home. From the cedar sidings and the calm atmosphere to the lush garden, you will be delighted to have chosen Elena's home and Cape Elizabeth as your destination. Do not hesitate!

This is a great home, well appointed and super clean. The yard is extremely peaceful and in the summer months you can cook with food grown in the garden. We saw a fox stealing corn while we were there, and a very fat chipmunk that lives on the blueberry bushes in the rear. The location is great, only 10 mins from Portland and about 50 mins to Brunswick. Great location for visiting the campus (GO U BEARS!).

Elena's home is just wonderful, I cannot say enough good things! It is in an amazing location and my husband and 13-year-old were so happy to have a peaceful, secluded home to stay in just minutes away from Portland. There are adventures aplenty in all directions, and Elena had great advice about what to do that matched our individual and family interests. She is a gracious and engaging hostess, available when we needed her but also very respectful of our space. Maine is a magical place to visit and Elena's home is the perfect place to stay without question! We will most definitely return in the future!

User Profile Image Dr. K (Boston) Although only 10 minutes from downtown Portland, Elena's home is nestled among tall oaks on two acres of land along a quiet, safe Cape Elizabeth street. Her contemporary home is full of artisan detail and art work inviting her visitors to relax among comfortable surroundings. My partner Molly and I both commented that Elena is natural-born hostess. She practices the fine art of caring for her guests and offers knowledgeable assistance on planning our weekend itinerary without being intrusive. She was quick to offer us French-pressed coffee and freshly baked cookies, review walking tour maps of Portland, and discuss "not-to-be-missed" highlights of the area. She even thinks she knows where to find the area's "best" lobster roll. If you are a hiker or skier, Elena, who is an outdoors woman (she once worked for Outward Bound) can outfit you with day packs and recommend the best trails. As there are snow shoe trails in the back of her home and a farm meadow trail across the road, we can easily imagine returning for a cozy, warm winter weekend in front of her wood stove. Our living quarters, including a lovely bedroom with a queen-size bed, a private bathroom with a spa tub, and a sitting room with a flat-screen TV, books and DVD library, were upstairs away from Elena's living area. Of course, WiFi is available. The house is a true find with a truly gracious host who is willing to be flexible with her guests' needs. Do not hesitate to stay here.
