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. On rainy days and cold nights you can stay occupied with the books, board games, Play Station, and complimentary WiFi. 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 This brand-new cottage is located just 10 minutes from downtown Portland. History lovers won’t want to miss the Old Port, Portland Observatory, and Wadsworth Longfellow House. Stroll along the Eastern Promenade and gaze out at the bay. 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.

I say “hidden” because this house is hard to find behind a wall of tall grasses without an address marker that can be seen from the road. I say “treasure” because it is otherwise lovely. The whole house is filled with well-tended potted plants. The kitchen is well stocked. The whole place is spotless. And the bedding is soft and cozy. Though it’s on a main road (which they tell you), we didn’t really here much street noise at all.

Charming cottage in a convenient location to area beaches. The cottage was thoughtfully decorated, with a well supplied kitchen. The proximity to burbling Trout Brook provided a calming offset to traffic on Ocean Ave. Comfortable bed and all was very clean. Our host was very responsive. The gardens were lovely.

We chose this place based on previous reviews. Not sure when a management change was made, but the previous reviews do not reflect the current status of this place. Positives-very cute entry with nice, though overgrown, foliage. Enjoyed the eclectic array of items in the home. Nice space for two people. Good location close to Portland but away from city noise. Vacasa personnel responded quickly and were all nice folks. Negatives- no lights on outside. The parking is unmarked and unlit, you have to hop the curb. Stepping stone walkway spaced too far apart to roll luggage is through overgrown foliage. Not clean - linens dirty, stained and ripped! Only one dry towel as all the others, folded and stacked in closet, were wet! We called both the owners and management company - owners did not respond. Lowest quality paper goods and no boxed tissue. Hopefully, the new management will up their standards and get these issues resolved.

The good is this is a spacious, comfy house. We were able to spread out. The bad was that they called us 30 min before checkin to tell us we couldn't get in for 3 more hours due to delayed housekeeping. C'mon. We've been traveling all day to get to you and you tell us 30 before checking in that we can't? We had dinner resos, how were we supposed to change? I asked for a refund. We'll see if we got a partial one. THEN, usually.... even in hotels they have a back up box of Kleenex or roll of TP. I texted them thinking it may have been locked away. I never got a response. We were literally down to 3 squares of tp.... nothing. For the amount we paid, we should have been able v to get in on time and have the comfort of knowing that they have back up supplies for us.

We were on our honeymoon riding up and down the east coast and settled in Maine for a few nights. The house was lovely, well appointed, and very clean.
