Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Cape Elizabeth

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.

We had such a great stay here! The house is in a beautiful location on a super cute lake and we were able to sit outside and go on the paddle boat. Amy was super responsive and helpful. The house was very comfortable and clean! Would definitely stay again.

this place was great! very clean and exactly as promised on the listing. highly recommend for a fun girls weekend!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beachfront home with our extended family, including a total of 6 adults and 5 kids. We had two additional adults spend one night, there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was spacious, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a group of our size. The location is unbeatable, right on Drakes Island Beach, with incredible views and direct access to the sand. While we didn’t go in the water, we spent plenty of time relaxing on the beach, walking along the shore, and enjoying the peaceful setting. The home was clean, well-maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. The large deck and open living spaces gave us plenty of room to spend time together and unwind. This was a perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway, and we’d absolutely return again. Highly recommended!

Amazing surroundings and views. The reserve loop walk is great.The perfect Maine coastal experience.

Stop scrolling & just book this amazing home! Randy is an excellent, gracious & very responsive host! Check-in was a breeze w/ wonderful detailed instructions for the house and region sent in advance. This house is awesome, pristine clean, beautifully decorated and outfitted. Totally turnkey set up as they thought of everything one might need to cook, relax, sleep, explore and enjoy your visit! It's very evident that these hosts want their guests to have an exceptional experience and we did! Beds were comfy along with plenty of high quality linens and supplies. We truly cannot wait to return on what will be our regular road trips to Maine! We toured Boothbay, Chebeague Island, Brunswick, Portland, Kennebunkport, Freeport and Ogunquit while we were there. Yarmouth is awesome with super friendly locals! Close by, we found Rosemont Market, Maggie Mae's Cafe and Royal River Grille convenient options among many good ones in the area. Thanks to our host for the wine & chocolate!

The host was very accommodating and responsive! The place was spotless clean and even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. Would 100% recommend staying here! Perfect size for 4 people

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.

The place was nice and private in a beautiful and quiet South Portland neighborhood. Getting into the unit requires some stair climbing (it’s on the 3rd story), but other than that it’s a great place for a couple to stay!

Cozy place in a nice area! Walkable to downtown. Great communication - very nice and accommodating! We had a great trip :-)

Matches exactly to the pictures advertised. Clean, very close to a quiet, almost private like beach. If you’re a lady into makeup, I recommend bringing your own travel mirror as the mirror in the bathroom was smaller and not above the sink. Would definitely recommend/return in the future.

There's so much that can be said about this place and the area. We stayed for a week and barely scratched the surface of what's available to do. Within 15-20 minutes of driving, you'll find both sand and rocky waterfronts to explore, Island ferries, forest hiking, and countless amazing restaurants. Coming back to this place after each day of exploring felt like coming home to rest and recharge for the next day. Comfortable places to sit/sleep, conveniently supplied snacks, and great material to review what to put on your list for the next day. Please take my advice and stay here if you want to have a peaceful and fruitful stay in the Portland, ME area.

Adorable, idyllic, comfortable, serene. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our Maine Minimoon! Some places have 5 stars and aren’t really legit — this is not one such place. Hillary’s place fully deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We look forward to staying again soon!!

Great stay! Location is perfect for everything we wanted to do, be by the water, stay right next to downtown, and a short walk from our tour with Eco Adventures. Furniture was very comfortable and everything was clean. Great restaurants in the area. Would return back!

Sharon & Eric were very friendly upon arrival and throughout the stay. Eric helped us with our luggage and they both gave us great suggestions and had great conversation. The apartment itself is perfect for two people and in a nice neighborhood. Would highly recommend if you are looking to explore Portland!

Quiet, cozy and very well equipped apartment, plus the small balcony , great to sit in the city so quiet and green. Downtown within easy walking distance . Good tips for the area, fast friendly communication. Highly recommended. Thank you very much Glen!

Great stay

Very nice stay! The location is perfect, everything you need is on site. I recommend it!

We had a great time! The place was very clean, nicely maintained, and in a perfect location—just a short drive to local coffee shops and great restaurants. The surrounding nature was absolutely beautiful and made the whole trip feel relaxing and refreshing. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay here, perfect location and a clean and comfortable stay! Lots to do in Portsmouth and the surrounding area and especially lots of great places nearby to eat. Convenient to have 2 parking spots and to be right next to a great restaurant! Well hope to be back in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at Tyson’s. Lot’s of extra touches like fresh flowers, bottled waters, and ground coffee ready to go. Tyson had mini shampoos and conditioners in the bathroom too. The house was spotless. Our family was very comfortable for 3 days. The location being next to the freeway is noisy more so outside than inside but the AC unit fans covered it up well at night. And…..It did not take away from how much we enjoyed our stay whatsoever. Great noodle house and coffee shop within walking distance.

Was a great stay, location was amazing and very peaceful, the unit was very clean with nice amenities. Hosts were very responsive and helpful.

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.

We had a lovely stay. Complete privacy. Very clear instructions and they have a great washer dryer! Xenia was lovely and kind when I very approachable.
