Andy's Retreat - Heated outdoor pool, hot tub, central AC, fire pit, bbq

Our single story, private residence is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood so we do not allow parties or outside guests. Our check-in time is after 4pm and checkout is before 11am. We can often accommodate other arrangements when contacted in advance!

Andy's Retreat is a comfortable, spacious convenient home base to relax and explore Portland & Coastal Maine. We're located right off Exit 53 of the Maine Turnpike, just 15 minutes ($15 Uber) from the Old Port (downtown Portland), 20 minutes to LL Bean/Freeport Outlets / Scarborough Beach, 30 minutes to Sebago Lake, 1 hr to Shawnee Peak & 1.5 hours to Sunday River.

We're just 1.5 miles from a large Hannaford supermarket, Dunkin' Donuts and The Moose - a great sports bar with with excellent food! Allagash, Foundation and Definitive brewing are just 5 minutes away.

The house offer lots of privacy and features a 20 x 40 heated, outdoor swimming pool (open and heated seasonally to 75 degrees June - Labor Day), HotSprings hot tub (adults only), central AC (set to 76/74 degrees), Weber barbecue, outdoor fire pit (propane), basketball hoop, high speed 300mb internet , (2) flat screen tvs with Youtube TV and Amazon Prime. We have plenty of free off street parking.

We provide everything you need (except food!) from clean linens, towels, propane, shampoo, soap, washer/dryer and cleaning supplies!

With a large kitchen, central kitchen island and adjacent sun room, there's plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy cooking and spending time together.

Our guests appreciate that the back wing of the house contains 3 of the 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. This arrangement allows for cooking / socializing in the front wing and privacy/quiet in the back wing.

The front wing of the house has another bedroom and 1/2 bath. Guests also enjoy our covered patio, outdoor fire pit, sun-room, in-home stereo system, 1st floor laundry and quiet neighborhood - great for a walk or run anytime!

Perfect for a multigenerational family who wants to stay on-site
The property was fantastic - clean, lots of spaces to be together or separate. Andy was super easy to work with, too. We had 4 generations (ages 5-87) for 7 days and it could not have been better. We didn't leave the property for the whole week - we were occupied in the pool or playing games the whole time. Definitely considering a return trip soon!

Our ME Getaway
Andy's Place was the ideal home for our family which included my husband and myself as well as our daughters who are 18 and 22 and my parents in their 70's. Plenty of space so we never felt crowded and could stay up late/get up early without disturbing anyone. Also the pool and hot tub as well as other amenities were a great bonus especially. Really enjoyed thehot tub in the evenings after a long day exploring light houses or spending time at local beaches.

Great spot just outside Portland!
Lots of amenities, great location, house was very clean and provided the essentials. Unfortunately we didn't get to use the pool or hot tub much due to inclement weather. Since we were inside so much we wanted to relax in the sun room, but we found out that the shades in there actually don't retract, so that was a bummer. We brought this up with Andy and he was very responsive to our questions/concerns. Regardless, we would stay here again!

Oasis Close to Town
Andy’s place is wonderful! We felt at home the moment we walked in. We live in the mountains in the West and wanted a place to relax at a pool while being close to Portland. The house was welcoming and cozy. The art, the gorgeous windchime, the pool, and the yard were so peaceful. We are so so happy that we chose Andy’s home for our stay. Highly recommend.

Amazing Summer Getaway at Andy's
A group of seven of us (2 families with adult children) stayed at Andy's on our week long visit to the Portland area and we loved it! House was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We were there during a heat wave, but the house AC kept everyone comfortable and the pool was just what the doctor ordered! Andy was super responsive to questions and it was very apparent that making sure everyone has a great stay is his top priority. If you're looking for a place to stay that's very convenient to the Portland area (about a 20 minute drive), look no further!

Amazing property in a convenient location
Our group LOVED this property. Andy, the owner, did an amazing job preparing for our stay, keeping us updated on any weather events that were happening, and asking us if we needed anything. The fact that Andy paid attention to small details, like having shampoo, soap, and even make-up wipes made the stay even more enjoyable for our group. The house was great -- nice pool and spa, wonderful outdoor seating, spacious living room(s) and kitchen. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub just about every day we were there and loved it. The location is perfect, only minutes away from downtown Portland. I highly recommend this property and would gladly stay again.

Wow!!! What a wonderful place. There was so many things provided like soap, paper products, extra towels and bedding, face wipes, shampoo and conditioner, vacuum, games, coffee, tea, cleaning products. The house was clean and well equipped. The owner was friendly and helpful but not over bearing. The amenities were great and good and safe location. Recommended for family or friend get together.

Nice clean house.
It was nice. We missed the small print about the pool being closed though. Quite a disappointment on that note. We made a quick decision to rent because it had a pool for the kids. Should have done our due diligence. But other than that it was a nice place.

Another perfect week at Andy’s retreat
What a gem! This is our second time staying at Andy’s. We are two families with three kids aged 10, 11, and 13. The space is perfect in terms of having privacy and room but also all being able to hang out together indoors and out. The pool and hot top are splendid. The home is well equipped with all the basics you need including towels for the pool. Andy is very responsive and helpful. We love staying here. Great location - quick drive to Portland, Freeport, and beaches.

Aces for Andy
Glorious house, pool, and hot tub. Loved the solarium and appreciated the central AC as it was a very warm week for Maine. There were 2 children and 2 adults staying in the house, but we have family nearby and the kitchen and adjoining rooms accommodate a large group easily. Amenities like towels, paper towels, bathsoap were provided. We really look forward to returning in 2023. Also host kept in close touch via text and even sent weather alerts.

Best vacation ever ❤️
The pictures do not do this property justice. The skylights in the living room provide the most beautiful light. The cozy couches were perfect for cuddling up with one of the books provided in the smaller bedroom. All of the beds were exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed with coffee maker and freshly ground Starbucks coffee which we love! All the cookware you could need and more. My kids enjoyed lounging in the sunroom and eating meals around the huge kitchen island. The private yard and pool were perfect. I even enjoyed a few quiet moments in the hot tub. So relaxing! We would definitely come back again. Thanks Andy for being such a great host.
