The Sealander House was built by the City's Mayor in 1926. This historical home is full of old world charm, huge rooms, lots of large windows and drenched in sunlight. It features hardwood floors, a working fireplace, pocket doors, French doors, a huge dining room, 2 full kitchens, 2 gas grills, one on the back porch off the kitchen and one on the 2nd floor deck, a large inviting front porches, a large deck off the 2nd floor kitchen, a covered balcony. Lots of privacy with established gardens and a fire pit. The house sits across the Street from Clifford Park. An amazing home perfect for groups, vacations and celebrations. An easy day trip to Portland. The house is close to numerous beaches, a short drive to many popular tourists spots, 25 minutes from Portland and the University of New England is down the street.

I have a Eufy security system at The Sealander House. The cameras are external. My favorite pics so far have been wildlife.

    We loved staying at the Sealander House. It is perfect for an extended family reunion. We found the gathering spaces plentiful and the beds comfortable. Laura is an excellent communicator, quick to respond to our questions and has been very accommodating. We would love to stay again!

    Plenty of room for our family of 15. We enjoyed having large rooms for gathering, to play games, etc. We even had a family Olympics in the front yard. Close to beaches, and amusement/waterpark, with the house having plenty of beach towels. Laura was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Only negative was that when we got there the garbage bins were half full, which again with 15 of us it didn’t take long to fill. We put the bins out on trash day but they weren’t picked up. So had to place bags next to bins. Otherwise great place for a family reunion.

    The check-in was easy, the host is lovely and responds quickly. The beautiful historic house is huge and with 3 floors, 6 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and a large deck adjacent to the 2nd floor kitchen, our family of eleven was very comfortable. There is a nice front yard and a large porch for many enjoyable evenings. The house is only a few minutes away from many beaches and the owner has thoughtfully provided all sorts of beach necessities for the guests to borrow.

    Our running team loved staying at the house. It worked perfect for all of us. It had everything we needed and it was close to the Old Port Half Marathon race in Portland. The owner of the property was very responsive to anything we needed. The house was clean and well stocked. Lots of sleeping options for groups. The house was very easy to check in and out of. The house is located around other homes, but feels secluded by the tall trees. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The house had enough parking for our team. Our team would definitely stay at the house again if we came back. We highly recommend staying here!

    We stayed at this wonderful house for a family wedding being held in Buxton. This house was able to accommodate our family (10 adults) and we had plenty of room we could have invited more people! There is a nice sized yard in case you want to do something outside, complete with a fire pit. With three levels, there is enough room in this house to spread out and have quiet time if you want, even if you have a lot of people with you. This house is also well stocked/supplied, you only need to bring your luggage to enjoy your stay. There is a Chinese restaurant so close (and so tasty) if you're tired and don't want to cook. The restaurants and town center isn't that far either. The house has old world charm while having all the current amenities you would need. The owner is wonderful and easy to deal with, while replying quickly. We didn't have an issue at all while staying here.We would definitely recommend this house and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again.

    We were a group of 10 friends, going to the New England area to see the autumn leaves since we are from Miami. The house is beautiful and very historical, the accommodations very comfortable, we especially enjoyed the garden and the sun room. Plenty of gathering spaces. The kitchen was fully equipped. The bathrooms with plenty of linens. Excellent washer and dryer and dishwasher. Communication with the host was excellent, she is prompt and very pleasant. All in all it was an excellent stay.

    We brought our kids and grandkids. Had 19 of us. There was plenty of space. Kids loved how much space room to run and, hide. We all enjoyed the woodchuck who lives under back porch. Location was good. Plenty of towels, toilet paper and trash bags. All appreciated. Only thing I would suggest is putting together 3 ring binder with suggestions for area. Local delivery of pizza etc. otherwise a wonderful place wood highly recommended

    Our family of 12 stayed very comfortably in this huge old home. The dining room accommodated us perfectly. We enjoyed the fire pit and gathering on the front lawn for games and s'mores in the evenings. A good time was had by all, 13-74 years old.

    We had a great week at the Sealander. Our party of 16 included 9 adults and 6 children ages 18 months to 10 years. There was plenty of space for all. We enjoyed the front porch and yard as well as the living space inside. A/C was great. Plenty of parking for our 5 families. Mature plantings and trees provided privacy. Easy drive to beaches. Would definitely stay again
