Perfect for a Maine summer vacation. This 400 sq foot studio apartment is one house away from Willard Beach, 4 blocks to Willard Square, 1 mile from downtown South Portland, and a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland, ME.

The apartment has a full bath, a kitchenette, air conditioning, free wifi, cable TV, a small porch with seating for three, and a completely fenced-in back yard with a small grill. It has hardwood floors throughout, cathedral ceilings, and plenty of natural light with lovely views of Casco Bay.

Bringing your pup It is a very dog-friendly area and you'll be able to find lots to do with your dog; however, if you'd like to go out to dinner or do an activity where your dog is not welcome, I am happy to arrange very trustworthy dog-walking/sitting services.

No smoking or vaping allowed in the studio or on the porch. There is a private back yard and a shed for smoke/ vape breaks.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willard Beach. The studio apartment was in a prime location - one house away from the beach. And within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Great ice cream store and bakery just up the road. Walking path along the perimeter of the beach was perfect. The overall accommodations were excellent! Loved our stay!

    This was our fourth year staying here. The ocean is a hundred feet away and Portland is a 6 minute drive. Perfect for beach lovers and yet fantastic regarding proximity to Portland and all it offers. Truly a great vacation getaway. Brenda is an amazing host.

    We had a great week staying in this studio apartment! It is very convenient to all that Portland has to offer and easy to get to places like Freeport and points south towards Kennebunkport & Ogunquit. We enjoyed walking and biking around South Portland to the bakery the ice cream shop and the lighthouses. Our dog was in heaven during the dog hours on Willard Beach - Literally just a few steps away! Brenda was super easy to communicate with and completely unobtrusive during our stay. We would not hesitate to stay here during our next visit to the area.

    We had a fabulous stay at Brenda’s! Quite literally steps from the beach, the location cannot be beat. Willard beach is a dog paradise every morning (7-9am) and a great people beach during the day. Brenda was a great host! Very responsive, and friendly via message and in-person. Thanks for having us, and hope to come again soon :) Laura and Katie

    Returned to stay in a studio apt I used pre-Covid and felt right at home. The owner is wonderful and very responsive to questions. The neighborhood is great for walking the dog, especially the off-leash policy this time of year during most hours. Convenient location to downtown Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Kennebunkport, Boothbay Harbor and Freeport, amongst other places.

    We will stay in this lovely studio apartment. It's not large but it has everything you need for a relaxed time at Willard Beach. Great walks, bakery and restaurants in the neighborhood.

    This is the 3rd time my wife and I have stayed here. Fantastic location with the beach ~100 feet away and Portland a ten minute drive. Brenda is the perfect host. Can’t wait to come back next year.

    Second stay at this charming studio in So Portland. Location is fabulous for adventure is and around Portland. Great location for biking. Easy access to highway. 5 minutes from downtown or 295 to go south. Apartment literally has everything. Comfortable bed, couch, TV for streaming, large enough couch for a couple to cozy up. Working kitchen with stove, toaster oven (where I actually made cookies from dough I got from Whole Foods). Great shower, towels, dresser and full sized closet. The list goes on. Very close to Willard Beach and a walking/biking path. Lovely host, location, accommodations, and experience.
