About this property

Charming Maine Seaside Cottage near private beach

The Quintessential Cozy Maine Cottage – steps from the beach in the most beautiful location in a charming seaside neighborhood on a private road across from a relandscaped conservancy area for added privacy and quiet. It is a two floor, two bedroom, two bath cottage. Lovely, well kept, updated interiors on private road with water views. Two new parking spaces recently added (2020) for easy access.

Just minutes from the city of Portland but feels like miles from any city on a private road in a lovely Falmouth Foreside neighborhood. You are a short walk to the famous Town Landing Store and 15 minutes south of Freeport Village shopping. Everything you need for the perfect vacation week. pak-n-play, beach towels/chairs, Fire pit and fishing rod on site.
Parking for two cars. Notify me if there will be more than 2 cars or additional guests so that I can make accommodations.

Quiet private Maine Cottage near private Beach: A week is not enough time to enjoy the beach, tour the coast, take a windjammer sail up in Camden, shop in Freeport, antique your way through the charming villages along the coast. There is downtown Portland with its Ferry boats to the islands. Visit quaint Kennebunkport, 1/2 hour to the south. Enjoy our wonderful Maine seafood restaurants. The very best adventure is to kayak along the coast. I have 2 kayaks. Even beginners can get the hang of it. At the end of the day bring the fire pit and wood to the beach for a sunset cocktail. Charming seaside neighborhood and private beach will help you get away from it all.

Maine cottage
We had a very nice time at the cottage. It was well equipped for what we needed, and furniture was in good condition. The layout had some challenges, such as living area on second floor (difficult for elderly parents to go the steps), and we knew this in advance and made it work. The front door layout is a bit inconvenient to get in and out when carrying things such as luggage. Overall, very nice place to stay, and we enjoyed our trip. Thank you!

Great place
We had a wonderful trip and this property was a big reason for it. It had a great layout, very comfortable sitting area, two bathrooms allowed four adults to not be in each other's space.. Just steps from the water and geographically located close to more than we had time to see. The host was very quick to respond to questions. Communications and instructions from the host were frequent and clear. Would go back tomorrow.

About the host

Hosted by Marie Koerick

Host profile image
I was raised in the NYC area and raised my kids in the Villanova area of Pennsylvania. I moved to Falmouth and this cottage in 2001 and fell in love with the neighborhood. I have been rehabbing and updating the house over the years bringing it to its current lovely condition after purchasing it in 2007.

Why they chose this property

I love Maine and the charming, quaint and upscale Foreside area along the water. This house is located on a quiet private street and yet only minutes to downtown Portland. Its the best of all worlds. The beach is private, the evenings quiet and the neighbors are delightful. While visiting my now growing family around the country I enjoy sharing my home with others. It is steps from the beach )less than 30 yards and a kayak rack is available. I am not right on the beach but have limited water views from my windows as shown in my photos.

What makes this property unique

Because this is my lovely home it is decorated with my own belongings and is furnished with items I treasure and my own paintings. I share these things with those who rent it and it has been my experience that my renters appreciate and care for it in a special way. I have recently
(2015/16) updated the entire house. I have added new furniture, windows, bathroom, new washer dryer, a new roof and newly upholstered chairs, etc. I use quality sheets and towels and I have added special touches. It is not your average beach rental.
