Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Casco Bay

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!

Amazing place, host was super kind and accommodated my family’s last minute booking since we were cancelled on twice that week! We are super happy we found this adorable beautiful place that ended up being better than the other places would have been anyway!

It's a beautiful, little house, perfect for our needs. Great view from the backyard over the water. Being close to Rt 1 made all of the places we wanted to visit very accessible. The binder with places to eat and their menus made things much easier. When visiting the Bath area we would certainly stay here again!

Everything was as described and more! With a wonderful location close to town, good privacy, and so much space inside with many commodities we wouldn’t even think of. Even our dog had a fun filled week with us. We hope to visit again, it’s just the perfect home away from home. Couldn’t recommend a better place to stay.

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!

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.

This house was perfect for me and my guests! All 7 of us fit perfectly, It didn’t feel too overcrowded! We loved the beautiful view off the deck and the hot tub was an amazing touch! The house was very clean and had everything we could’ve needed. I loved how clear the instructions were for everything and how responsive the hosts are if you need anything!

The house was spotless and centrally located for what we wanted to do in southern Maine. It was well stocked with quality toilet paper, napkins and Kleenex. We had plenty of towels for the hot tub and pool. It is updated and well taken care of. The hosts were extremely helpful and we didn’t see them at all, so the place felt very private. This was an amazing house and our kids had so much fun in the pool and playing corn hole on the large deck. Would recommend this house for families and couples in a heartbeat!

Christina’s place is awesome! Cozy, centrally located on the island, and stocked with everything you need for a great stay. We were very comfortable! Loved the afternoon sun on the back deck and having a fire pit out front in the evening. A bonus that it’s dog friendly! Christina was very responsive and helpful. We hope to be back again!

We stayed at Susan’s home and loved it. It was perfect for our party of 6 for a family getaway. Surprisingly spacious and everything was well kept and spotless. Susan is very proactive and responsive as a host and was a pleasure to communicate with. Location is great and is a very short drive to the Old Port area. All around a fantastic find and highly recommend if you’re looking for a place in Portland!

Angela was a fantastic host, responding quickly to any questions. The home was nice, close to downtown, and a HUGE yard for the dogs

Me and my family had a great stay at this location. The house was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with everything you need.

Katherine’s place is in a quiet area with walkable roads for my dog and I. She has included lots of extras around the apartment: toiletries in the bathroom, snacks in the kitchen, a few drinks in the refrigerator. The atmosphere is welcoming and their dog, Sterling, is very sweet. Biddeford, Saco and Old Orchard Beach are fun places to explore. I would stay here again.

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!

Guys, this was a great Air BNB. Under promised and over delivered! Seth listened and got right back each time I messaged him (probably drive him nuts:). Came in clutch in a pinch situation for me. So grateful.

I loved this place so much. Probably one of my favorite Airbnb’s that I have ever stayed in. FYI, bring an eye mask if you are staying in the lofted bedroom in the summer months! BEAUTIFUL views and windows, but the sun rises early in Maine in June! LOL.

We had a great stay at Kendra’s place. Enjoyed the hot tub and the view from the bed. Serene and rejuvenating.

First time renting on Airbnb, it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience. The cozy cabin on the cliffs of Maine was beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Stephanie & Heather thought of everything; welcome snacks, dog treats, water, things to do,etc. They even had binoculars, we used on a bald eagle diving into water. Being able to use their kayaks (no charge), made packing & planning much easier. The peaceful surroundings & natural beauty made it easy to disconnect & relax. We saw so many jellyfish in the ocean and they were beautiful! On check-out morn, Stephanie messaged us to say we stay later in day because no one was checking in today, it was the nicest day. That extra time meant everything, we ended up leaving around 4pm with no extra charge. The level of kindness & hospitality is rare & so appreciated. This stay was absolutely unforgettable, we will 100% be coming back. Thank you, Stephanie & Heather, for creating such a peaceful, thoughtful, & welcoming escape.

Simply wonderful, the perfect place to stay in Cape Elizabeth! Such a bonus that it’s dog-friendly, too. Scroll the reviews and you’ll see that everyone who stays here loves it! Thanks Ilya, and we hope to return someday. 😊

Cape Elizebeth is very beautiful even in the early winter! I got to see the sunshine, snow and rain all in a cozy home! I highly recommend This home! It is stocked with everything you would need, even puzzles, of which I am a fan!

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.

Our yurt set in the woods and was very peaceful. We brought our dog and I walked her every day and never saw a car on the dirt road our yurt was on. The Maine coast was a half hour away with many fine restaurants. It was so nice to have fresh seafood. The hot tub was nice to use in the evening and we had a fire every evening. It’s a great place to go and unwind.
