Willard by the Sea # 4, Elevated Coastal Living + Walkable Charm Near Portland
If you’re looking to experience Portland but prefer a quieter, coastal setting, this is the best of both worlds—steps from the beach in one of Southern Maine’s most beloved neighborhoods, yet just minutes from downtown Portland. Welcome to this beautifully renovated second-floor apartment overlooking Willard Beach, where coastal living feels both elevated and effortless. Bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed, this two-bedroom retreat offers enhanced privacy, abundant natural light, and water views, along with an open and comfortable living space and a modern kitchen stocked for everything from beach-day snacks to relaxed evenings at home. Enjoy a little more privacy and a slightly elevated view of the water. Start your mornings with coffee and ocean breezes, then spend your day enjoying everything this incredible location has to offer. Set in the heart of Willard Square, you can walk to local favorites including Scratch Baking Co., Willard Scoops, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, marinas, and more. Take a scenic stroll to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, or explore nearby live theater and local entertainment—all without needing your car. Walk everywhere—drive only when you want to. For outdoor lovers, you’re just minutes from Fort Williams Park and the iconic Portland Head Light, where you’ll find breathtaking ocean views, walking trails, and seasonal food trucks. After a day at the beach, unwind and take in the peaceful coastal setting from above—open the windows, feel the ocean breeze, and settle into the slower rhythm of Willard Beach. Downtown Portland is only a quick 7-minute drive, offering award-winning dining, boutique shopping, waterfront views, and nightlife—then return home to the charm and tranquility of Willard Beach. This unit can also be rented together with the first-floor apartment to accommodate up to 8 guests, making it ideal for extended stays with family or friends.

Great area, close to the beach, water views, close to Portland, and everything in the apartment worked really well. There has been a lot of attention paid as to what would make a guest's stay really awesome.
The property was as described-fully stocked with amenities, clean and very welcoming. The host was attentive to every detail and quick to respond to any inquiries. Definitely recommend!!!
Great location! Beautiful way to take in the natural beauty and be walkable to fabulous restaurants. The host was very responsive. Would book it again in a heartbeat. Thanks!
Place was clean..organized...and had some nice little touches like a basket of treats and toiletries. 1 house up from the beach...and water views from windows... kathy was always on top of our needs. We decided to go to maine instead of the cape this year. No regrets...easy access from boston. Lots of fun things to do in the area.. will visit again!
What a wonderful stay we had in South Portland. The rental property was located just a short walk to the beach and a short walk to a local bakery. The neighborhood felt safe, quiet and definitely walkable. The unit was extremely clean and tastefully decorated. The living room furniture and queen size mattress were very comfortable. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had and we never felt uncomfortable reaching out. Upon our arrival a basket of goodies was provided - thank you.I cannot say enough about the unit, location, amenities and our host. We loved our stay and look forward to a return visit!
Just across the bridge from downtown and the Portland waterfront sits a great neighborhood in South Portland, and down a side street steps away from the beach sits this great property to make your home base. Quaint street and comfortable upstairs 2 bedroom apartment. The rental had everything one would need to make a home away from home. Nice touches all around. Beds are super comfortable. One room had a queen size the other two twins, perfect for my little girls. Great shower (and pressure). Spa like scents with the body wash and shampoo provided. Nice sized couch for everyone to enjoy some R&R with flat screen TV. We didn’t get to utilize the outdoor offerings, but they are there. Chairs, beach stuff, outdoor shower, etc Plenty of Food options within minutes from the house. And only a short 12 min drive to the waterfront (parked). Only mention I would make is the place could feel small - kitchen is petite, only common space is the living room area which could get crowded with a family or two couples. We didn’t rent with the expectation of hanging in the rental, but instead, be out and explore and just use the house for a good nights rest. Enjoy the place. It’s super convenient and situated in a great and safe area.
The apartment was very clean and well appointed with everything you might need. The host was very friendly and attentive and check in and check out were very simple. Any questions I had were answered promptly. I would definitely stay here again!
Great location for beachgoers. The unit is just enough for a family of 4 or smaller. We could see the sea from our room. Our host was extremely attentive. Window unit ACs and a heater are available but open windows work great. I used the AC, fan or ear plugs at night. The area is very quiet but noise from neighbors cars or other units can be heard. Great place for the price. Its also walking distance to Scratch Bakery but note that many places are closed monday and tuesday. Atleast in June. Enjoy!
