About this property

A charming, seaside cottage ~ Falmouth Foreside

Newly renovated coastal cottage on a sunny lot with a large, private side lawn and ample parking on a separate paved driveway. Only a short walk to Casco Bay, beaches and the nostalgic Town Landing Market! This cottage is less than a 15 minute drive to Portland's Downtown District (a historic seacoast town filled with galleries, one-of-kind shops and award-winning restaurants), as well as Freeport (renowned for its world class outlet and boutique shopping in a coastal village) . Enjoy this cottage by the sea decorated in Maine coast style!

This home is located in the desirable Falmouth Foreside, Maine in a friendly neighborhood with ocean views. There are many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors while taking in the beautiful scenery. You'll often see people walking or running along Foreside Road (Rt. 88 - a portion of the annual Maine Marathon route), as well as wooded trails off nearby public parks. A relaxing stroll to a local favorite, The Town Landing Market, is only 5 minutes away. If you enjoy sailing, kayaking/stand-up paddleboarding or salt-water fishing, there is public access at the end of the street, as well as at the public Falmouth Town Landing 5 minutes away. If sitting on a beach at low tide overlooking Casco Bay and sailboats appeals to you, then Underwood Cove is a perfect choice only a few steps away. All ages enjoy the exploration of this beach at low tide as well ;-)

Falmouth Foreside was featured in Down East Magazine as one of Maine's most prestigious neighborhoods and is positioned only 15 minutes from the City of Portland often voted on the Top 10 places to visit nationally. Portland was named one of the country’s top 25 art destinations by American Style magazine.

Please no smoking and no pets.

Relaxing stay by the beach

The cottage was very charming and well-equipped with all kitchen, entertainment, grilling and beach amenities. Located in a quaint and quiet town close to Portland and Maine beaches. Amy was lovely to communicate with and super helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this cottage for a quiet and relaxing stay by the beach!

great location, comfortable and tasteful

A perfect fit for us. We got to spend time with our daughter and her family who live in town, but our stay was also a vacation for us. It was a treat to swim at the local beach, yet be able to meet family for dinner in Portland. The owner thought of all needs for our stay. I highly recommend the cottage.

Beautiful home with lots of charm!!!

Friends of mine and their families with children ranging from 4-14 recently came into town for an overdue reunion and some of them stayed at this amazing home! (We actually booked both homes on the property for additional space.) All of my friends and I agreed that this was an incredibly beautiful home with so much beachside charm. The downstairs was open and spacious and allowed for fun group gatherings. Everything was immaculate and so cared for. The house is full of supplies in the kitchen, bedrooms, and for the beach! The owner is clearly dedicated to making this house a unique and special away-from-home-stay! Without question, this is a perfect rental!! We would ALL highly recommend this home!!

Charming cottage is a perfect base for lots of Maine activities

The house is beautiful, clean, and has everything you might need. The owners truly have thought of everything, and the kitchen is well-equipped. My son and I enjoyed hanging out in the nearby cove - looking for creatures and sea glass. And the location is perfect for day trips to nearby islands, lakes, and of course Portland. The owner was friendly, easy to contact, and gave helpful suggestions. Would absolutely rent again!

Comfortable stay, helpful and accommodating owner

We really enjoyed our stay. The ‘cottage’ is a comfortable, attractively decorated, and spacious one bedroom property in a quiet residential area near Portland. There’s a nice deck/patio area, with a partial water view, that is perfect for outdoor dining. The owner is very helpful and responsive to guest inquiries. The property is well-maintained. We would stay here again.

Meticulous host and cottage

Great place to jump off and explore sandy state park beaches within 20-30 minutes of the cottage. The cove at the end of the road is perfect for launching kayaks on Casco Bay. The property has a good sized yard sheltered from neighbors. Amy is an attentive and professional host. A delightful week was had by all!

Excellent location and thoughtful details!

We loved the relaxing town of Falmouth and the superb location of this cottage. The space was just right for our small family and the owners thought of everything. We especially loved having everything (local beach, rustic country store) within easy walking distance. If you're looking for a cute and convenient place to stay in a quiet seaside Maine town, you can't beat this place or this price. We will be back!

Charming is an understatement! I'd go as far as to say LUXURIOUS!

To start with, the hostess is very friendly, communicative, accommodating and leaves no questions unanswered . We had a last minute change of plans and she came through like a champ! As far as the property goes, there is no stone left unturned and no amenity unthought of, we truly felt right at home. The yard is surprisingly large and exquisitely manicured as is the interior of the cottage and the neighborhood in general, pride in ownership is felt all around! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is what it's all about folks and this property has it all! We spent our mornings just lazing about in the yard and wandering down to the water, our afternoons were spent exploring state parks/lighthouses or shopping at the outlet stores topped off with lovely evenings enjoying Portlands offerings, all within convenient driving distance. I could live there, no question! Thank you, Amy, for creating and sharing an ideal haven, we will be back!

What makes this property unique

This cottage lot has southern exposure. The smell of the ocean air and a nice breeze off the bay make it very pleasant for a true seaside experience!
