Ahhhhhhhhhh .....

In the evening, sitting on the deck, we watched the water turn pink with the sunset. The next night a bald eagle perched for twenty minutes on a piece of driftwood in the neighbors yard - 50 feet away. We cooked nice meals, learned to play pool, walked two minutes to the local deli, walked two minutes the other directions to Martin's point, walked a half mile to Beals Old Fashioned Ice Cream, a Noodle Bar, Thai Cuisine and the back bay. Super relaxing - we could have just stayed home all day but we didn't. Turn North off Oregon Street and travel through Falmouth, Yarmouth , Freeport, Brunswick - hug the coast for a wonderful drive up HW 88, then S Freeport Road - stop, cut in to to every port, explore. Find Town Landing Market - pick up lunch, take it to Broad Cove Reserve and eat on the beach, take a hike at Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Camping - end up in Brunswick. I could go on and on, It's the perfect location for all this ... and on the water!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Rajotte

I have lived in New Engalnd most of my life and have lived in Maine for 30 years. My home has been completly renovated with new exterior cedar clapboards and new internal systems. This s the perfect setting in a realy nice neighborhood and so close to all that Portland and southern Maine has to offer yet affords privacy and wonderful views with lots of wildlife.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect for summer and fall visits. Festivals, galleries, restaurants, hiking, biking or just simply relax on the on one of two decks next to a warm fire.

What makes this property unique

There is no other neighborhood in Portland that affords waterfront access from the back yard and yet is a short 5 minute drive or a bike ride to all that Portland has to offer. Great neighborhood restaurants within walking distance. Very comfortable and recently renovated classic Maine cottage with iconic scenery.
