About this property

Willard by the Sea #2 , Beachfront Living, Walkable Charm + Minutes to Portland

Willard by the Sea | Beachfront Living with Walkable Charm + Minutes to 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 first-floor apartment on Willard Beach, where coastal living comes effortlessly. Bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed, this two-bedroom retreat features water views, an open and comfortable living space, and a modern kitchen stocked for everything from beach-day snacks to relaxed evenings at home.
Start your mornings with a walk along the shoreline or coffee by the water, 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, rinse off in the outdoor shower, grab a drink, and relax into the rhythm of coastal Maine.
Downtown Portland is only a quick 7-minute drive, offering award-winning dining, boutique shopping, waterfront views, and nightlife—then return home to the peaceful charm of Willard Beach.
This unit can also be rented with the second-floor apartment to accommodate up to 8 guests, making it ideal for extended stays with family or friends.

Great Stay - Amazing Location

I cannot say enough about the location! Our two families rented the upstairs and downstairs units, and were very happy with our stay. Great communication with the owner, well-appointed, comfortable beds. Would definitely stay here again.

Close access to beach

We had grandchildren 5 and 7 years old visiting in day, and beach toys and beach chairs were a welcome addition. Lack of wine glasses for us in evening, and need for more plastic cups in day was something we missed
