Willard Beach Area 2-Bedroom Apartment with Full Kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"We had a delightful stay! The hosts are top-notch: their communication was excellent and they literally thought of everything a guest could need to have an exceptionally comfortable experience. It’s clear they put a lot of thought and effort into how best to care for their guests. The property itself was squeaky clean, both inside and out. It’s conveniently located between Portland and Cape Elizabeth and took no time at all to reach all the spots we wanted to visit. The beach is a quick walk away as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I find myself back in Portland. 100% recommended!"
