OCEAN VIEWS, Rooftop Deck, HOT TUB, new back deck! 3-min walk to Willard Beach

My wife and I spent a month staying at Marilys’ property and absolutely loved it. We’ve never felt so at-home in a rental property and Marilys was incredibly responsive and helpful during our visit.

We recently had the pleasure of staying in this fabulous house. It was not only beautifully decorated but the location was exceptional- close to the beach and our now favorite Scratch Bakery. The house is fully equipped with everything one could imagine in a luxury beach house. At our arrival and to our delight, was a homemade cake on the kitchen counter! Marilys gave the most detailed list of the house information but also of everything one would need to know about the surrounding area. We never rented a house where the host went above and beyond with such amazing information. Our children and grandchildren have taken home lasting memories of our wonderful Maine vacation- Thank you Marilys!!!

Maryls was the perfect host. She greeted us upon arrival and showed us all around the house. She gave us helpful tips to make sure we knew all about the features of the house and informed us about the surrounding area. The house is perfectly decorated and outfitted with everything you need to have a most delightful stay. We decided to relax and not utilize the kitchen, but it truly has everything you need to cook and entertain. The weather was perfect and the we took full advance of the outdoors. We walked to the beach, had coffee on the rooftop deck in the mornings and wine in the evening. We rented a boat for a day and went to Fort Williams Park. We enjoyed many delicious lobster rolls and had great meals at local restaurants. I highly recommend you consider being a guest at this house. Marilys really goes to great lengths to make sure that your stay will be one that you will never forget. I'm already looking at our calendar to see when we can return!

I don't think we've stayed in a vacation home with such attention to detail and we have stayed in several rentals over the years. The contact prior to and during out stay was superior. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need and then some! There was a cake cooling on the stove when we arrived (seriously!!), the linens were of the highest quality and plentiful, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities minus the food, the home was clean from top to bottom and the location was great! Marilys and Bob go above and beyond in thinking of everything (even shampoo and body wash in both showers!)I would recommend this house in a minute!

This Home was absolutely amazing! We were very fortunate that Marilys was able to accommodate our group of ladies at very short notice. She was more than willing to assist with anything we needed. The beds provided for an exceptional nights rest! We look forward to staying in one of her properties again soon!!

We enjoyed our stay in South Portland. What's not to love about a 5 minute walk to Scratch bakery and Willard Beach?! The house is as GOOD as the pictures. Decor and furniture is perfect for Maine. The beds were comfy and towels/sheets were luxurious. The kitchen has everything you need. And the rooftop patio is perfect for cocktails and sunsets or coffee and sunrises. Thank you Marilys for providing such a great home!

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The property is only a block from the beach making it ideal to take a stroll to watch the sun come up. This comfy home had all the amenities and each and every bed was decked up with luxurious bedding making it tempting to nap and sleep in! We look forward to revisiting this well -kept home again...being greeted by a lemon poppyseed cake dusted with powder sugar was the absolute best!

We had a family vacation with 6 adults, and 3 children under the age of 5. We stayed 5 nights. The quiet neighborhood is lovely, with lots of flowers and well maintained homes. It is a very short walk to scenic Willard beach. Our toddlers loved the playground there! This beautiful home is very comfortable, and has everything you could possibly need. Each family had their own bedroom, and the children slept well, because there was space for a crib and 2 pack n plays! The beds and bedding were SO comfortable, and the bathrooms are beautiful, with lots of fluffy white towels. The half bath, on the first floor, was great for a family group. Not many rental homes in the area have that feature. Marilys and Robert were immediately responsive when we had one issue with a doorknob. It was replaced within hours! There are books for young children and a “play kitchen”, as well as lots of beach toys and yard games. There is great living space, and natural light, in the downstairs, with wonderful cross breezes from the many windows. Lots of comfortable seating in dining and living area with loads of pillows. The gorgeous kitchen is very spacious and easy to cook in. We grilled outside one evening, and got bagels and bread from Scratch bakery most mornings. There are wonderful restaurants, and pizza, in South Portland, and Portland. Marilys had a freshly baked bundt cake for our arrival! It’s a quick drive to the Old Port area, in Portland, for shopping, dining, harbor cruises, or just sightseeing. Our family LOVED the house, the area, and the weather!

Marilys is a thoughtful and available owner which made out visit to Willard beach wonderful. The house is gorgeous and has everything you need for a fun beach vacation. Super clean and well appointed home with lovely touches

We recently stayed at the cottage on Henry Street for a family vacation and I can’t say enough positive things about this rental! The home is beautifully appointed and so comfortable! Plenty of beds to sleep in and chairs for dining. The house is in a perfect location to explore Portland and the surrounding areas. We walked to Scratch Bakery every day! It is a 4 minute walk! Willard beach is a 2 minute walk and is wonderful at sunset! Our host was incredible, there was a toddler kitchen set for our little ones to play with, backyard toys and beach chairs and towels. And Marilys had made a delicious cake upon our arrival!! The kitchen was a blast to cook in and the beds so comfy! Downtown Portland is 10 mins away and you are near so many parts of Maine! We drove 40 minutes south to Kennebunkport one day. There is so much to do even right near the house. I would highly recommend this house for a family vacation or a group of friends looking for a quiet place to relax! It was WONDERFUL!!!
