The space South Portland Cottage This new 1BR South Portland cottage is perfect for a couple but offers plenty of space for entertaining. You’re just 10 minutes from all of the historical buildings and restaurants of downtown Portland. Take a boat cruise or stroll through town. Sleeps 2. ABOUT THE COTTAGE Enter this brand-new, yet quaint cottage through white barn doors. The open-concept floor plan welcomes you with red, heated concrete floors, natural light, and designer décor. In the spacious living room, you’ll find a sofa, love seat, and a red leather chair. Invite your friends over for an evening of games and sampling of local craft brews. Or make hot cocoa and snuggle up with your mate in front of the 64” flat-screen TV for a movie marathon. The kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, and a 5-burner gas range. (There’s also a grill, stored out front—perfect for a seafood supper.) Grab a seat at the bar (4 stools) and sip a glass of wine while someone else does the cooking. Follow the hardwood steps up to find a full bath with white tiled flooring and a tub/shower combo. The large vanity offers plenty of space to spread out. Just beyond, the master features a king bed with white linens. Stay up to catch the late show on the 48” flat-screen TV. You can pack light for this trip because a stacked washer and dryer are tucked in a closet in the bedroom. On rainy days and cold nights you can stay occupied with the books, board games, Play Station, and complimentary WiFi. This South Portland cottage combines comfort with charm and is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway. Please note that all leases require a minimum 31-night term. THE LOCATION This brand-new cottage is located just 10 minutes from downtown Portland. History lovers won’t want to miss the Old Port, Portland Observatory, and Wadsworth Longfellow House. Stroll along the Eastern Promenade and gaze out at the bay. When you’ve worked up an appetite, there are plenty of options for every palate. For an authentic waterfront experience, check out Andy’s Old Port Pub. If you’re in the mood for international cuisine, try Asmara, featuring the flavors of Eritrea. And for a sweet treat, Beal’s Ice Cream is always a hit. For an over-water adventure, take a ferry or cruise to see the Casco Bay Islands. If you’re an aficionado of craft brew, Maine Beer Tours has you covered. And animal lovers will appreciate the Odyssey Whale Watch. When you need to pick up groceries, there are several farmers’ markets that run from April to November. Deering Oaks Park (Saturdays) and Monument Square (Wednesdays) are 2 of the best. Or stay closer to the cottage and visit the Ocean House Market, a local favorite, less than a half mile away. They offer fresh seafood as well as prepared meals and sandwiches.
