Waterfront vacation rentals in Portland

This spot was perfect for a weekend getaway! The Airbnb was clean with spacious accommodations. The apartment has an amazing view of the ocean. Adilah was great to work with! I would highly recommend this stay!

My family had a great a stay at this Air B&B! Peaceful, scenic, and clean. This was exactly what we were looking for and more.

Loved staying here! It's a very short walk to Kettle Cove State Park and Crescent Beach. Cape Elizabeth is a charming, quiet little town. If you're looking for a peaceful relaxing getaway spot, this is it. You'll feel right at home. Plus the hosts are very responsive and friendly. I'm already thinking about when I can return!

Kevin's place worked out well for us. We were a group of 6 (traveling with 2 young kids + 2 grandparents). The accommodations worked out really well for us. It was a minimal walk to get to shops and only a bit further like ~14 minutes to get to the Old Port and the piers. We did as little walking as possible to avoid dealing with paying for parking, but it was incredibly convenient that Kevin provided a parking pass for the lot across the street. In terms of improvements, it is kind of an old building and so you get what you kind of expect with some questionable floorboards. And this is only because we have young kids who like to explore a lot of areas, but there were some parts that were dusty as well. It's also noted that laundry is provided but you have to go into the basement to use it. I think there is another airbnb rental in the same building and the noise levels can differ depending on who else is staying there. All in all, it was still a good value and we had a great time.

Great clean place in Kennebunkport. Friendly, helpful and responsive host. Beautiful views of marshes with outdoor activities to enjoy! Will definitely stay here again!

Our stay at The Bee Keepers Cottage was amazing. The property met our needs perfectly and it was super cute and cozy. The host was very responsive and communicative. And for any star gazers out there, the sky on a clear night is mesmerizing.

I have stayed at Anne’s place many times. Anne and her husband are always very nice and friendly. The apartment is spotless, comfortable and you can’t beat the location, just up the hill from charming Falmouth Town Landing and beach and an easy drive to downtown Portland.

Jason was a very nice, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Very grateful for his hospitality, we will definitely be returning and looking forward to it!! Thank you Jason!

Great house and location. This was my 2nd time staying here and will definitely be coming back again.

I love coming to Maine, and this was my first time staying at Rob's place—it was beautiful! Rob was more than accommodating and incredibly hospitable. The home is gorgeous, super clean, cozy, and very private. The game room was such a fun bonus! It was the perfect little getaway. Thank you so much, Rob, for everything! I will definitely be keeping this place in mind for future visits!

Meghan's home was a perfect place to stay for my sister's Bachelorette weekend! The home is located in a quiet community with views of the river and bay, and it was conveniently located with just a short drive into the heart of Portland. We found our stay extremely comfortable, especially on such a cold and dreary April weekend. Meghan had the hottub ready for us with matching robes for all which was a fun surprise. Check in and check out were a breeze. We even took a breakfast recommendation from the guest book (Forage Market, yum!), a tasty experience indeed. Thanks again, Meghan!

Stephanie is a fantastic host. She proactively communicated with us prior to our visit and was extremely kind and understanding with the changes we needed to make as well as checking in with us upon arrival and at checkout. She also promptly answered any questions we had. The Sunrise house has beautiful views, a nice sunroom, fire pit, grill and large lower deck over looking a beautiful sparsely populated, pristine pond . We were unfortunately unable to enjoy due to uncooperating weather but at the heating systems were great in all the rooms and we did make good use of their gaming shelf and get to see a one beautiful sunrise on the morning we were leaving. The house was very clean and nicely refurbished inside with modern appliances and fixtures throughout. We rate the host, the house and the experience five stars and are thinking about coming back in the summer when we can enjoy the full amenities the house has to offer.

Although most consider The Maine Lakes Region a summer play land, it is also an absolutely breathtaking winter wonderland and made extra special staying at this residence. The sunrise views over a frozen, snow covered Thomas Pond are very special; this open and spacious home really made us feel that we were on vacation. During our stay a little snow storm passed through, the hosts plowed and cleared immediately. Highly recommend this residence year round.

Fantastic spot. We stayed in the fall. It was quiet on the lake. We enjoyed SUPing and Kayaking. Was happy to find “one earth” natural grocer up the road a bit. We enjoyed a fire in the wood stove every night. The Loons were a special treat too. It is steep and lots of stairs to the water but worth the climb. :) Lea was so accommodating and responded immediately to every inquiry. Hoping to book again next fall!

We loved it! Lots of space for 7 of us, plenty of bathrooms, plus space to put together a jigsaw puzzle, watch the football game, sit down and eat, or work if you have to - all at the same time!! In other words, lots of common areas to spread out in. Being right on the beach was wonderful. And downtown is about a mile stroll, so you can eat too much at the little crepe place and walk it off on the way home. We would definitely come back if we have the chance. Beautiful home and Rives made it very easy to enjoy it.

We had a wonderful stay at this home for a mother daughter weekend end of March. Great location for each of us coming from different states in New England. The home was very clean, each of us commented on how comfortable the beds were, also loved the good quality linens. The huge dining table was unique for a rental and was awesome for sharing meals and doing arts & crafts. Lots of space and seating in the living room as well. Highly recommend staying here!

This Airbnb was a great space for 4 people. It was a short walk to the beautiful beach. About 20 minutes from so many shops and restaurants in Portland. Host sent very detailed instructions the day before the trip that were very accurate and helpful. Neighborhood felt safe and the unit was very clean.

Unit was very clean, situated in a quiet residential area and within walking distance to many of Portland's best bars, restaurants and attractions. Host was communicative and provided clear guidance on check-in/-out procedures and offered up suggestions to local attractions. On my recommended list - dinner at Twelve (one of the best restaurants in the US, IMHO); on-site food truck tacos washed down with a Hazy IPA at Bellflower or Austin Street Brewery; an everything bagel with lox & morning latte at Forage; the East Promenade for a food truck lunch, then a stroll along the waterfront trail to the port area for an ice cream cone at Gorgeous gelato; afternoon coffee at Double Great Coffee; and a post-dinner whiskey @ Independence Ice. Only downside on my visit was the upstairs neighbor. Dude clearly isn't a principal dancer in the Portland Ballet, as light on his feet wouldn't describe him. Not a stereo or TV issue - you can just hear the noise from him walking (8AM-10PM when there)

Excellent place, sunset and sunrise is just beautiful right from your private balcony, plenty of things to do even on rainy days, huge selection of places to eat, great bands play right on the premises, great people and atmosphere. The condo was very clean and has everything you need. I would love to stay again!

Deborah was very helpful and quick to respond. She had great suggestions on where and what to visit. The travel magazines she had on her TV stand were extremely helpful. The bed was very soft, which I love, so I slept really well. We loved the touch of having beach chairs available. The only downsides I can think of, are that the shower is very small, and it’s hard to back out of the parking space.

This was my 3rd time staying at Kevin's AirBnB and it is always great! The bed is very comfortable and the entire place feels cozy. To top it off, there is the perfect view of the water from the balcony. It has everything you need for a little beach getaway. Will be staying again!

The location is amazing. The view is amazing as shown in the pictures. The apartment was actually pretty quiet, we couldn’t hear anyone in other units and little to no noise from the beach or bar below, though we stayed in the off-season. The balcony is huge and plenty of seating options and the living room is spacious and lots of seating. We had two young kids with us and we all had a great time. Would stay again.

The Wells Beach condo was very comfortable and clean. It was off season so it was pleasantly quiet. It is very close to a great beach with a long stretch to walk and great for swimming and sunbathing in the good weather. There was a pool right outside the condo door which would be super convenient in the warm weather. The condo is well maintained and the ability to walk across the street to the beach is a great benefit. Plus there are restaurants and shops close by,

Perfect little place for a weekend away near Portland!
