Family-friendly holiday rentals in Portland

Sometimes photos just don't do the real thing justice, and this is the case with this property. The property and the views are truly spectacular! The home is huge and has everything you could ever need to live for a week or more. The porch, especially the screened in portion are magnificent and the hot tub was a perfect way to finish up a great day. We had so many plans to adventure out, but found ourselves wanting to stay and enjoy the pristine yard or just sit on the porch and enjoy each others company, we didn't want or need to leave. Having coffee and watching eagles fly by over the river was truly spectacular. Judy is one of the nicest, easiest hosts we have had the pleasure to work with and truly appreciates your patronage. And Hugh's journal on all things Graywood is a lifesaver. Not only would we return again, but we look forward to it.

The house was perfect for our group of 12. It was spacious and well-cared for. While not located in downtown Portland, it was just minutes away by car. There was ample parking in the driveway and on the street. Meghan was a very responsive and flexible host. We had a great time.

Great location in town that was walkable to some terrific dining spots on main street. Enjoyed the backyard BBQ and patio for a lovely dinner outside as well as peaceful morning coffee. Sherry was very helpful in recommending the studio space for us and available throughout our stay. Will highly consider this spot for future vacations in Kennebunk area.

A nice private cottage in a quiet community that was super handy for us to stay until we secured our house in New England. Everything is in place for comfortable living. We lived there for a month long and the hosts were always responsible.

This beautiful venue was worth every penny. Chris greeted us and made us feel right at home, even pointing out opportunities for viewing local wildlife! Our party of 10 (ages ranging from 14 to 74) never felt crowded, a floor for every family! The kids even played "hide & seek" in the house. We made memories that will last a lifetime. Try as we may, we can't think of one thing we would have changed about our stay. Thank you Chris, Jason and family for sharing this beautiful home!

Nice stay, nice host, lots of recommendations in binder for things to do. Nice hot tub. Cozy place and location. DQ right across the street.

Jon’s cabin is a beautiful place to get away from it all. Very comfortable and well designed. We had everything we needed to cook and hole up for a few days. If you decide to drive to the lake, I would recommend 4WD. We had a truck but were not aware of how soft the ground was and ended up needing to be towed out. Still highly recommend! Enjoy your stay!

The spot was perfect for a weekend of skiing and riding snowmobiles. Exactly what we were looking for in a vacation home. Paul was great at recommending places and his response time was great. Also the wood burning stove made the weekend cozy and perfect.

This place is special. Last thing we expected to see on the island was a deer. Was cool to watch her swim back to the mainland. Best part was being able to let my 2 pups off leash and free to explore. They had the best time ever ! We will be back next year for sure ! In fact maybe a new yearly tradition ! Thank you Kent for sharing this place

Marcia’s place was exactly what we needed for the week. Convenient location in town with several walkable dining options. So happy we chose Marcia’s place for our vacation.

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

Easy 5 stars! Phillip was kind, proactive and responsive. The space, while quaint and simple, was clean, had all the essentials and, it was perfect for a week visiting my grandparents/ working remote! Not to mention my dogs loved being a half mile from the Bath dog park. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a Maine mid-coast getaway!

A very comfortable place. So nicely decorated with art and crafts, there was something interesting on every wall. Tons of engaging books and games, and wonderful antique furniture throughout. The location is excellent…easy access to a variety of outdoor activities, shopping, and dining. Be mindful of the fact that there is an outdoor staircase to the apartment. Younger folks shouldn’t have any problems with this, but those with mobility issues might want to reconsider renting here. (we’re 77 with sketchy knees and managed okay 😁) We would definitely recommend this place and would rent here again if we’re in the area.

This Airbnb was perfect!! We had a mini family vacation and this place had all the amenities that made us feel right at home, including a crib and high chair for our infant. House was very clean and exactly as described. Excellent location that was easily walkable to everything in Portland! The easy check in and private garage were an added bonus!

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!

Super cute apartment in a great location and very responsive host! The apartment was clean and well stocked, and the Steve was very kind and responsive. He was also able to accommodate a very early check-in for us which was greatly appreciated. The location was great for getting around Portland. Our only complaint was that the free parking was not as easy/available as we had hoped, but the host did a great job compiling a list of other (paid) parking options. Overall loved it and highly recommend, just consider that you may have to pay for parking.

Our stay at the beach house was great! You couldn't be closer to the water! So much fun kayaking, floating and swimming in the lake! House is much better than the pictures do it justice. For a 2 bedroom house its very big and spacious, beds were extremely comfortable. The no wifi was a little bit of a downer but there were plenty of board games to play. There is some street noise but not bad at all. Would most definitely recommend if you are looking for waterfront property. The access to the resort pool was a plus too for the kiddos!

This place had everything we needed. The view was spectacular! We really enjoyed seeing fireworks from the deck. The home was very clean, kitchen fully stocked. We loved hearing live music each day and night. So much walkable fun for the kids. We had a wonderful stay!

Christopher was a helpful host and his place was perfect! Clean, fully stocked, great location. It was close to lots of beaches and restaurants and the pool was great for the little ones

A few times while wandering around midcoast Maine in late March, we were asked if this is when we usually came to vacation here. Yes, we are educators from the Southwest, and this was our spring break, so this is when we came to visit, but honestly, it is so peaceful this time of year. Especially Boothbay Harbor, and what we imagined while walking around the very quiet town would be a very different place in July! Our experience at Abby’s space was absolutely wonderful and serene in the spring. The thoughtful touches (thank you for the bottle of Maine wine and jar of blueberry jelly!) made it even more special. Thank you, we hope to be back one day.

Maryann is SUCH a treasure! She really is the hostess with the mostest! Gives great recommendations, homemade coffee and treats, and if you mention you like something, she might get it for you! Making this Philly girl a wannabe Maine resident! Couldn’t recommend more.

The condo was better than the pictures. It was well equipped, the price vs the situation was really good. Spacious and private with great amenities. I would live to rent again next year.

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

My family and I had a awesome time enjoyed the quiet and relaxing days. Michael was very helpful and very quick responses to any questions we had.The cabin was very nice it felt like home was very comfortable slept very well. Everything about the cabin and the island was well worth going looking forward to going again in the future.
