Southern Maine Summer Vacation Rentals: Cottages, Homes, and Condos


Southern Maine Summer Vacation Rentals: Cottages, Homes, and Condos

Looking for information on southern or midcoast Maine Vacation Rentals? Check out the link above from About Portland guide Deborah Fowles. There are some good basic tips in this article on what to ask rental owners, as well as some solid links to rental agencies for Southern Maine, and online vacation rental listing services. Personally, I wouldn't include 10k in this list as they are really not a leader in vacation rental listings. I would however definitely add Visit Maine, Great Family Rentals, and Vacation Rentals to her list.

I'd also add that the "high season" is about 8 weeks in Maine. If you want to rent a cottage in July or August on the water (beach, rocky shore, or lake) book NOW. The best places often fill up 6 months to 1 year in advance. If your first choice is booked, ask for referrals; most owners are willing to help.
