Waterfront vacation rentals in South Bristol

My husband, toddler and I stayed here and had a great time! We loved sitting on the roof deck and the living room has an amazing view of the water. We walked almost everywhere, which was so nice. Overall great location! Would recommend to anyone!

The apartment is beautifully designed, spacious, relaxing, and comfortable. What more could you ask for? We enjoyed our 3-night stay. Read some of the assembled books on birds and enjoyed delicious food at the local restaurants. Alice was a gracious and responsive host. You will truly love staying in her apartment!

it's a magical location and such a well appointed apartment. as someone who has hosted on airbnb, I really appreciated all the amenities they had. the hosts are so dope as well. you cannot go wrong with the place, the location, or the vibe.

Jennifer's place is so interesting, clean and tastefully decorated! We enjoyed our stay very much and definitely would return there, as many guests do. Be sure to check out the wonderful nearby Salt Water Cod Cafe and the many Maine-made things from Seaside Creations on the road to the Giant Steps on Bailey's Island. Also, the chocolate from Jennifer's candy store up the road is really good. Thank you Jennifer for making this experience possible!

Very comfortable. Terrific location. Lissette was very attentive, friendly and helpful. Would recommend her home to family and friends.

These accommodations were perfect! Overlooking the Casco Bay harbor, the view was even better than depicted in the pictures. The condo was meticulously clean and very well appointed. The beds and pillows were so comfortable we slept even better than we do at home. The location could NOT have been better! It overlooks Portland’s old-town shopping district, and is easily walkable to all of the best restaurants in town. There is a beautiful walking trail just up the street, and you can easily catch the ferry to the islands from this location. It is convenient, beautiful and welcoming.

This place was more spacious than I expected. The location is beautiful, you step outside and the water is right there was a great pathway for walking. It is so close to many things, we would’ve walked if it wasn’t raining. The mattress is very firm and the water pressure is the shower is great. I would definitely book another stay here.

Our stay at The Bee Keepers Cottage was amazing. The property met our needs perfectly and it was super cute and cozy. The host was very responsive and communicative. And for any star gazers out there, the sky on a clear night is mesmerizing.

Wonderful quiet place to relax for a Fall weekend. You feel right over the water. Accommodations cozy and comfortable. Will plan to return!

Enjoyed our stay very much! Lovely location on the water. Some white traffic noise but worth it watching the boats and wildlife! Comfy bed. We slept very well. Well-stocked kitchen. The location is perfect for lots of little day trips. Our only disappointment was the size of the smallest room. It’s very tiny. Great for a child but pretty tight for our adult son. Host was attentive. We will be back!

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!

Simply magical! Cozy and fun space. We enjoyed watching eagles and ospreys fish, seals pop their heads up, and even an adorable family of foxes from the comfort of the living room! Kitchen had all necessities for cooking most meals at home. A nice trail for walking down the road and an awesome beach where the kids threw stones and searched for seaglass each afternoon. We were all sad to leave!

We loved our stay (late May, 2025). The weather did not cooperate but the house was perfect. Thank you Debbi!

My wife and I completely enjoyed our stay at Ani’s place. She literally thought of everything any guest could ever want. Beautiful surroundings…walking distance to the Fish Ladder….a couple of miles to all the restaurants downtown. And the place itself is immaculate. The kitchen was perfect for eating in every night. This place is an absolute no-brainer to rent and we can’t wait to return!!!

We had a great stay at Jill's place. Very comfortable for 4 people and enjoyed the surroundings. We would stay again.

Gorgeous location, comfortable house and amenities and friendly and responsive hosts. Couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful quiet vacation spot close to Boothbay Harbor!

Unit was very clean, situated in a quiet residential area and within walking distance to many of Portland's best bars, restaurants and attractions. Host was communicative and provided clear guidance on check-in/-out procedures and offered up suggestions to local attractions. On my recommended list - dinner at Twelve (one of the best restaurants in the US, IMHO); on-site food truck tacos washed down with a Hazy IPA at Bellflower or Austin Street Brewery; an everything bagel with lox & morning latte at Forage; the East Promenade for a food truck lunch, then a stroll along the waterfront trail to the port area for an ice cream cone at Gorgeous gelato; afternoon coffee at Double Great Coffee; and a post-dinner whiskey @ Independence Ice. Only downside on my visit was the upstairs neighbor. Dude clearly isn't a principal dancer in the Portland Ballet, as light on his feet wouldn't describe him. Not a stereo or TV issue - you can just hear the noise from him walking (8AM-10PM when there)

This place is gorgeous and right on the ocean!!

The place was very easy to find, great location. Walking distance along the beach and sidewalk to attractions, great access to the beach. Very clean and well maintained place. The hosts are very responsive and polite with good recommendations of places to eat and things to do. Would definitely stay again!

I would recommend it 100%

Great place to stay! Convenient location above the Brunswick with panoramic views of the beach and ocean, and a short walk to bars, restaurants, shops, and amusements. The condo is clean, spacious and well furnished. The living room and the balcony have plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views and sound of the waves. The king mattress is super comfortable. The keyless entry pads to both the building and condo make it easy to get in and out without having to worry about keys.

What a beautiful location and house. There’s nothing better than sitting in the living room or front porch and being able to see the Belfast Bay. The house is very clean and neat. Beds are comfortable, shower is very hot. Don’t miss the sunrise in the mornings. Overall this is one of our favorite places we have stayed in Belfast.

My stay here was wonderful! The perfect homebase for our trip. Everything was exactly as described and then some. A great sea breeze and a cozy space to rest and relax before hitting the beach or walking into town. I felt right at home. I can't wait to go back again! 💜

We loved our stay! The space is beautiful and cozy. The walk to the family friendly beach was just the right distance for my 4yo. The neighborhood is adorable and friendly! With an amazing bakery and ice cream shop just around the corner! Dave was a great host and took great care of us.
