My husband and I and two children stayed at Ardis' home for a month last summer and loved every minute of it! The house is well equipped and feels like a home. We love to cook and enjoyed using the beautiful kitchen. The location is perfect for young children as the house is located on a very quiet side street and it is only a short walk to Willard beach/playground , Scratch Bakery, the ice cream shop etc. The house is located in a quiet section of the Willard Beach area, the classier part, so no loud night time events next door. In addition to the nearby amenities there are so many great things to do in surrounding towns. We visited light houses, and beaches in Cape Elizabeth, went organic strawberry picking, ate at numerous fine restaurants in the area and generally had a wonderful trip. At the end of each day it was great to settle back in our cozy house in the perfect neighborhood. Beyond the location, and great house, Ardis was wonderfully accommodating and attentive. She moved her office to make upstairs sleeping quarters for our young children. She immediately replaced a malfunctioning dishwasher and she quickly responded to any questions. After leaving we realized we'd left our baby carrier behind. Ardis very willingly mailed it to us. If you're looking for a great rental near the beach, this is it!
