Beautiful Bayside House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Located in desirable Falmouth Foreside, this bayside, antique Cape Cod with a large and airy modern addition and gorgeous Casco Bay views, is the perfect close-to-Portland vacation spot! This home is just six miles from the Old Port, less than 13 miles from Freeport, and close to several beaches. Two floors of living and sleeping space easily accommodate up to eight guests with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. Down a private drive, you’ll feel secluded but are still close to everything Portland and southern Maine have to offer.

The cozy living area features a large, flatscreen TV and plenty of comfortable seating. The great room/dining area and kitchen offer fabulous ocean views. A bluestone patio with seating and grill can be accessed from the dining area. There is a well-equipped, full kitchen, powder room, bedroom with double bed and adjacent full bath, and a main suite with a new Avocado king mattress, full bath, and a private office.

Two bedrooms (one with two twin beds, one with one twin bed) are found upstairs in the antique part of the house, as well as a three-quarter bath (tub). The staircase is steep and users must pay attention when on it. One bedroom (queen) with a built-in desk is located on the second story of the new part of the house, adjacent to a three-quarter bath (shower).

Close to I-95 and I-295, visitors who need to bring work with them will find a quiet office on the first floor and complimentary internet access. A washer and dryer are located in the basement. A fire pit with outdoor seating is located on the spacious ocean-facing lawn for optimum enjoyment.

Comfy second home
This is owners first year renting. It needs a complete review by electrician because there are several outlets not working. We also had trouble with the thermostats and heat. So that needs help too. The 1800 salt box portion of the home was charming to us. The addition added a great number of beds and baths. The kitchen was marginally stocked with bowls, etc so bring your own.. kitchen could have been cleaner too. So not smooth sailing but a comfy no fuss second home

Super Location
Location of this home was on delightful Castco Bay. It was close to Portland with easy access to all of mid-coast Maine. Layout of house was nice providing private units on both sides of house. One bath/shower on 2nd floor was a little tricky to use. All in all, very enjoyable!

Harbor view well loved home
We had a nice safe stay at a classic home ocean side Maine. The kitchen was small with plenty of serving pieces and silverware. Plenty of fans but could use AC. It gets stuffy. The bathrooms were clean and linens fresh. A large home with some cobwebs and dirty sills. Thank you for opening you home to us

Cannot Recommend Based on our Experience
We have stayed in many VRBO properties, always left good reviews, and always received positive feedback as guests. However based on our experience with this company, Vacasa of Maine, we cannot recommend this company or by extension this property. The house itself was ok-some issues could be overlooked like the steep stairs in the older part of the house that border on dangerous, the tub in the same section that is barely child-sized, and the older windows that don't have screens, but our experience with Vacasa was awful. The dryer at the property wasn't working when we arrived, not a huge deal in itself. But whoever responds to texts promised to send someone to look at it; no one ever came or contacted us. When we asked for an explanation via email and text we received several weeks of silence or 'we'll look into it'; at no time was follow up initiated by the company. There appear to be 3 levels of management-Vacasa of Maine, a 'local operations manager', and a 'local agent', and they seem happy to pass the buck around until you give up. We eventually received a token refund of $87, which is 2% of the total rental cost of $4300. So in summary, both customer service and follow-up were either lacking or nonexistent, so be warned. Thanks for reading.

Fantastic View with Private Beach Access
The pictures posted on VRBO do not convey what a beautiful lot the property has. There is a very spacious backyard. We lit a fire in the outside fire pit each night overlooking the bay. Wood is provided and there are stairs to a small beach area. The Management company was quick to respond and gracious. Falmouth is a just short drive to Portland.

Great place. Great location.
Only two complaints: 1) ants 2) not big enough hot water heater for the size and anticipated number of guests for such a large place. Hot water ran out quickly afte 1-2 showers.
