Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cape Elizabeth

This beach house was an absolute dream. Perfectly located just steps from the ocean, with tons of natural light and beautiful design throughout. It felt like a true home away from home - peaceful, airy and well equipped with everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend, we will be back!

What a fantastic place! Great amenities for a luxurious stay at the house, all the tools you may need if you wanted to cook at home, and so conveniently located to Old Port if you want some great food and drinks in the city. We stayed for 3 nights with another couple. We spent time in Old port visiting restaurants and a few breweries/distilleries and ended the nights by the firepit in the back yard. Took a nice walk. We also made a nice dinner after grabbing some great produce at the Protland Farmaers market. Wish we had more time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful and quiet time of rest at The Rising Tides. The setting is absolutely serene. It’s very secluded and quiet, the perfect place for a week of rest and relaxation. We went hiking on the Cliff Trail (15 minutes away and a very nice hiking trail), watched the sunrise at the Lands End store on Bailey island (15-20 minutes), and kayaked in the cove. The grill was very nice and we enjoyed cooking on it regularly. The place was very clean and ready on our arrival. The host communicated very clearly. You will need to follow her driving directions as they are very clear and helpful. In our four days there we only saw 1 neighbor - and that was as we were leaving on the weekend. There’s a grocery store only 15 minutes away and we were able to stock up on our way there. Really, this was one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed. We really enjoyed having a few options of things to do while also being able to just do nothing on our vacation in a quiet place.

Great spot for a private getaway! Hosts were very friendly, flexible and ensured we had everything we needed. Would absolutely visit again and recommend 100%

Great place, good location, excellent host!

I wanted a peaceful place by the water to unwind and Maggie’s home nailed it. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations. The deck views were amazing—islands, ospreys hunting, and a duck and her ducklings feeding along the shoreline. At low tide we poked around in the sand at the bottom of the rocks, and could have easily walked out to the center of the bay but it was juuuust a bit chilly for us. Easy to drive, park and walk along beach on the Atlantic side and explore. We didn’t have time to kayak but hope to be back to give it a go. So much beauty and nature, but with all the amenities that make it easy to relax. Maggie was responsive, and she and her family obviously care very much for the property. Check the propane BEFORE you plan to grill :), and bring flip flops to easily get from the house to the grotto (which was so comfy and cozy) and back again.

Absolutely incredible! Gorgeous views, great neighbors and so peaceful. Loved having access to the bikes for daily rides. This is not a sterile empty Airbnb, this is a lived in and loved absolutely beautiful home. The layout is fantastic with nice touches throughout. The kitchen was not only beautiful but had great knives and cast iron cookware. I felt at home the moment I stepped inside. I definitely did not want to leave. Shannon was very responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend!

This was our fourth stay at Ralda's house. It is easily one of my favorite places to stay. The house is pristine and comfortable, and the proximity to Higgins Beach can't be beat. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

We absolutely loved our stay. This was our first time in Portland and coming back to this unit after a full day of activities felt like we were right at home. Lucie has truly made this unit so warm and inviting with great attention to detail. The location itself is also great, not too far from the city to drive but not too close either. Thanks again!

This place lives up to the title Architectural Masterpiece! From the moment you walk into the space and how up the steps to the main level, you are flooded with beautiful light from all sides and multiple views of the city. The apartment was artsy, spacious, yet cozy and welcoming. Just be ready to climb three sets of stairs to enter into the cool space. Alice friendly, and communicated the directions and updates when the room was ready early. Highly recommend!!!

This was my second stay at Scott‘s amazing penthouse. So beautiful and comfortable and clean and you can’t beat the views across the harbor. I really needed a break and loved the comfortable beds! Just as described. Close to restaurants, shops and waterfront. The proximity to everything and the parking so close by made for a relaxing weekend. Scott was always immediately responsive when I had a question. I hope to be back for a third time in the future.

We absolutely adore Jess’s place! It was spotlessly clean and conveniently located near some fantastic spots in South Portland. The decor was tastefully done, and Jess made check-in and checkout a breeze. She was incredibly flexible and kind with any requests we had. Overall, Jess was an amazing host—always responsive and ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We’ll definitely be booking with Jess again when we return to beautiful Portland, Maine!

My friend and I had a wonderful time staying here! It was a perfect location to experience Portland for the first time! Absolutely beautiful and airy space with such a pretty garden. Wynne's instructions were clear and helpful and she was very friendly and responsive! Thank you!

Arian’s house is so lovely. It’s cozy, modern and very clean. The house is in an excellent location close to restaurants and walking paths. Arian was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend his place if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Portland

A lovely place to stay in Portland’s East End. Great location in a very quiet and walkable neighborhood. (I happily did not need a car during my visit.) The apartment is great, with a comfy bed, smart TV and a nice little patio too. And you’re just steps from the Eastern Promenade park, which is one of Portland’s best amenities imo and leads to a beach, waterfront trail, dock w/ kayak rentals, etc. Jennifer was a very kind host; thank you!

Exactly what we were looking for. Completed our Maine trip perfectly was close to everything we wanted to go do and see I would highly recommend

I would recommend it 100%

Allyson’s place was lovely! Great location and a perfect stop in Maine. 10/10 recommend.

Very nice stay! The location is perfect, everything you need is on site. Recommended!

Awesome place. Would book in a heartbeat again! Alyssa rocks too! Loved everything about this stay.

The Baxter Suite was perfect for our weekend stay with 4 people. Thomas was a great host- very responsive and accommodating. The apartment is beautiful and very clean. The bathroom is gorgeous and beds were so comfy. One note is that the only mirror is in the bathroom and there is no full length mirror (not a huge issue but a small struggle with 4 women trying to get ready at the same time lol). The free parking spot was very nice to have but there was also plenty of street parking available. Overall Thomas’s place had everything we needed and we would stay here again!

This was a beautifully decorated space. The location near the beach was perfect! Cute little spot.

great place very close to everything downtown portland!! loved. being able to walk to dinner every night. host is great and super helpful too!

We had a great first stay in Portland. Carl was very helpful, accommodating late checkouts and a clogged sink! The apartment was comfortable for a family traveling - walkable to just about anything you'd need. I would absolutely recommend!
