Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Portland

Our son, his girlfriend, my husband and I enjoyed staying at the cottage in late October 2024. The location was quite scenic as it overlooked Casco Bay, near Portland, ME. The host made suggestions that we followed (bringing firewood & blankets). The kitchen was equipped with utensils & coffeemakers. The neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed walking in the local preserve along the water and took advantage of visiting the Portland Museum of Art and eating at The Honey Paw, an Asian fusion restaurant.

Gregory was a pleasure to deal with and this stay was exactly what we were looking for!

Enjoyed our stay very much! Lovely location on the water. Some white traffic noise but worth it watching the boats and wildlife! Comfy bed. We slept very well. Well-stocked kitchen. The location is perfect for lots of little day trips. Our only disappointment was the size of the smallest room. It’s very tiny. Great for a child but pretty tight for our adult son. Host was attentive. We will be back!

Can’t say enough about how great our stay was! Andrew was incredibly responsive, let us check in early and check out late without even asking. It was a great location on the island, very walkable, even for my mother with a bad knee (she was exhausted after the first day though). Would absolutely stay again!! 10/10

Perfect weekend retreat for a small family with a young one. Close to downtown, museum, and the firepit was so nice at night. 5 stars all around and will return in the future. Thanks Phillip!

Amazing surroundings and views. The reserve loop walk is great.The perfect Maine coastal experience.

We stayed at Kathleen’s charming place in and had a wonderful experience. The space had everything we needed and was also perfect for my husband and me to work remotely. I worked from the second bedroom with the daybed, while my husband set up downstairs. The location is within walking distance to everything, and Kathleen gave us some great local recommendations. We’d love to stay again!

Great location on the east end--residential with short walk to the Eastern Promenade and large waterfront park, as well as downtown and tourist amenities. Very efficient use of the small space. Because we wanted to take advantage of dining out, the lack of a kitchen was no problem for us. The bedroom was surprisingly large and bathroom a tad small, but overall a very homey and comfortable stay for a few days.

We would 100% recommend Dina’s place to ANYONE (and we hope to be back)! The place is beautiful and would accommodate a small to large family. The pool and hot tub are incredibly nice and peaceful surrounded by trees. The furniture is incredibly comfortable and the kitchen great to use. Dina is also incredibly thoughtful and quick with her replies. We got a little turned around arriving at night (the GPS lead us up the road a bit), but we found it!

Gorgeous house, peaceful area, a great back deck with pool and hot tub! Jey was a great host, very helpful and quick response time. The house was very clean and put together. I would totally recommend staying at jeys house!!

The place was amazing and so was Susan! the responsive time was less than 10min even as late as 2am. we stayed for 3 nights and the house was def one of the best parts of my trip. Susan was quite flexible with timings and also with extra guests visiting for a while. The place is close to Back Cove, that has amazing views. overall, I love the place and would love to visit again

Angela’s place was wonderful! Very cozy, clean and comfortable, well stocked, close to downtown Portland. Snacks was a nice touch! Angela was very responsive. Hope to come back soon!

We loved our stay! A week was not long enough! Very open layout with lots of space. We loved having a washer and dryer! It was a pleasure to talk to Tom! Really a person you could talk to hours for! We left feeling like family, and couldn’t recommend the place more! If you’re looking to visit Maine or even the big city of Portland, I would recommend you look here. Being out in the country sheds a different light on all that Maine has to offer!

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is gorgeous, light and airy, and so comfortable for our group! You can't beat the location across from the beach and quiet street for walking. The pool and hot tub were also so nice. We would highly recommend and would love to stay there again!

Home is very expansive with room for multiple families to reside together. Lots of games and activities for all ages. Amazing location within minutes to airport and short drive to downtown

Great house! Very spacious, plenty of bathrooms, and fantastic location. Very easy to communicate with the owners and check in/out was simple. My minor only critique is that we wish the grill were a bit bigger and nicer. We wanted to grill one day, but we were a little disappointed and unable to do so due to the grill quality. Would definitely stay again!

We had an absolutely beautiful, special, memorable and meaningful stay here, and immediately started plotting how to get back asap on our ride home. Naughty Dog Island is breathtaking, so incredibly peaceful, is a magical world all in it's own, and wow Kent has really figured it all out. Everything is so well thought out, from the nature of off-grid living to the peaceful hang out spots, the impressive communication making sure we had everything we needed, and with immediate response to any questions, we felt right at home and cared for in the best possible way. Kent and Heather went way above above and beyond for us, and were the kindest, sweetest, and most thoughtful hosts. The house was so comfortable and the island just gorgeous. Super easy and flexible check in/out and logistics of getting to and from. I can't say enough good things about this absolute gem of a place. I highly recommend a stay here, and promise you will never want to leave. Thank you Kent + Heather!!!!!

Off the grid enough to feel completely alone in the woods, but close enough to where you can get dinner or find other things to do with only a short drive. Highly recommend.

Very clean, great location in Portland. Street parking was a bit challenging but doable!

The views were amazing and the place was perfect! They’ve thought of everything (beach chairs, extra linens, coffee) and the flowers and birds make the property even more lovely. I stayed with my daughter and there is privacy within the space. The beach is a five minute walk from the house. We will definitely stay again!

Amazing place. Very peaceful and cozy! And super clean, definitely felt at home. Wish I could stay forever Amazing communication and attended our needs

This home was fabulous! The space was clean, lovely, and so comfortable. Additionally the neighborhood offered but walks in nature and restaurants/stores. I wish I could go back next month!

An absolute gem of a place in the perfect location. You can walk anywhere from it, it’s in the action but also quiet at the same time. Was the perfect place for the perfect trip. Heidi was so nice and helpful!

I can’t say enough about what a nicely appointed home in a beautiful setting this is. I came for peace and tranquility and it did not disappoint. I haven’t had such good sleep in over 2 years. Highly recommend and plan to return next year! Thank you all so much for sharing your lovely home.
