Charming 110-year former Inn 10' from the Ocean!

This is the Extremely rare. "On the Beach" Beach house. Over 100 years old. This charming Old Ocean Front Inn was converted in the 80's to a 2 family home. I live in 1 unit. It is rich in character and history and has been modernized with everything you could need. Steps off the deck onto the sandy beach. Breath taking views from your 40' deck overlooking Willard Beach and the islands. Watch the ships, from cruise ships over 1000' and tankers as big to the local lobster men as they all pass right in front of you. Located on a neighborhood beach, this home is only 10 minutes from Portland's Old Port Area and the waterfront. House is comfortably furnished and all you need to provide is your sunblock and beach towels. I,ll make sure you have everything else you need.

Wonderful Week at Willard’s Beach
Wanted to introduce our grandchildren to Maine and this was the perfect location. Right on the beach, the house had everything we needed and more. Our host supplied us with suggestions of places to visit and best of all, he told us many historical facts of the neighborhood. I’ll always remember the views from the top deck, as we drank wine and ate a fresh caught lobster dinner. Best location and vacation.

Perfect setting on community beach
Family friendly community beach location. This upstairs rental has amazing views from inside its sliding glass doors on cooler days but being out on the balcony was the best part! Inside was clean and comfortable.

Beautiful views of wintry Portland
Several friends and I stayed at this property over the long weekend and had a wonderful time. The views are gorgeous, located right on Willard Beach. Coupled with a snowy day and a warm fire, it made for the quintessential Maine experience. Thank you for your hospitality!

Love the location
I love the location, but hoped the majority of space was on ground floor as my grandmother had difficulty with the flight of stairs with the wobbly hand railing. The host was wonderful to deal with and we overall enjoyed our time by the ocean.

Beautiful View
We truly enjoyed our experience staying in this home. The owner, John, was a so kind and friendly. The views were more than we expected, from the beach to cruise ships rolling through the harbor, and light houses and schooners passing through the bay. It was so lovely.

Perfect location. House could not be closer to the beach. You have your own large private balcony directly on the beach. Short drive to downtown Porland. There are a few close places to walk to also. We spent every night and morning on the balcony watching the boats go by and dogs playing on the beach early morning and nights.

Clean, comfortable, convenient location
Stayed here during a gorgeous New England fall weekend. This perfect house on the beach has exactly what you want (and more) from a beach vacation home. Clean, well-equipped, and exactly like the description/photographs. Spectacular views! Will absolutely rent again.

Perfect for Dogs
This rental is perfect for your furry friend! It's right on the most popular "dog beach" in the Portland area. The other major attraction is the spectacular view! It would be easy to just sit on the deck all day watching the light change over the day on the ocean and harbor islands.
