Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Scarborough

Beautiful home in the heart of old orchard!!! The space was peaceful and quiet! Super close to the beach while not too close to any noisy streets. The home itself is perfect for a little weekend getaway for two! Plenty of parking and easy to find even at night! Overall a great experience would definitely stay again!

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!

Our stay was so relaxing. The house is very comfortable and we felt at home right away. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The sauna is absolutely magical and the lake was quiet and peaceful. Check in/out was a breeze. Perfect spot for a relaxing long weekend with zero stress.

Great stay in Scarborough at Erika's. Home was spotless and it felt like we were one of the first guests in the place after a total remodel. Easy to work with on booking and planning and everything went smoothly. Nice close stroll to the shore and also restaurants for lobster rolls...literally across the street. Peaceful and very well located. If we return to the area Erika will be hearing from me. Thanks for everything!

It was a great location for a quick getaway. Close to Portland and plenty of places to eat in town. I only met Clarishell but she was lovely!

Beautiful spot for a quick getaway or longer vacation. Host was very responsive and sent clear instructions for check in and check out. Sent great recommendations for places close to the condo. Would definitely stay here again!

My stay was very nice and relaxing at Katie’s Airbnb! She was very easy to communicate with. I had a little difficulty with checkout and returning the keys but Katie messaged me back quickly to resolve the issue. Her home was very cozy and right next to the beach. I went with three other girlfriends as a little get an away. The pull out coach/ bed was pretty small so maybe keep that in mind. Lovely stay! Thank you!

This was our fourth stay at Ralda's house. It is easily one of my favorite places to stay. The house is pristine and comfortable, and the proximity to Higgins Beach can't be beat. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

We absolutely loved our stay. This was our first time in Portland and coming back to this unit after a full day of activities felt like we were right at home. Lucie has truly made this unit so warm and inviting with great attention to detail. The location itself is also great, not too far from the city to drive but not too close either. Thanks again!

Normand and his wife were simply amazing. From the eggs and snacks that were waiting for us when we arrived to the homemade cookies on our check out. The place was very cozy and comfortable with tons of toys and games for kids and adults. Normand was very accommodating to any request and even helped me chase the puppies when they accidently got out. I would highly recommend this!

This place was amazing, great location and so peaceful! I loved that I could walk to the beach and the Main Street. It was also nice that it was only a 20 min drive from the main city Portland

Visited Feb '25 Steep stairs {a delightful New England quirk} lead to a comfortable bed, quaint views out the window. Soft cottage core vibes. Eclectic design steeping in a life well lived. Wonderful kitchen, well stocked and easy to cook in. Shower pressure is adequate. Bathroom is clean and filled with an array of books and tchotchkes. Your eyes always have something to wander and examine. It's a maximalists dream. The book shelf in the living room is filled with old books some titles are expected due to surroundings and some are just plain fun. May I recommend a game of I spy Nina is quite fantastic. A spit fire. An attentive host. Hospitable and kind. She gave it a welcoming vibe. Meeting her animals was truthfully a highlight. They are even tempered and kind. Her horse is stunning & social. The donkey a goof. The mule is oh so friendly. Sheep a bit shy but non the less beautiful. Chickens? fluffy feet! The ducks were personable. The goats, joyful. Cat, adorable. Good workin dogs.

We had a great stay. The location is quiet but just a few minutes away from amazing restaurants, cafes, and breweries. Highlights: The bed was super comfortable. The sauna was great on a rainy day. The walkability to the Back Bay trail was appreciated.

We appreciated the clear communication from the team. The property is an old Victorian home, as described. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short, but the hosts were understanding and accommodating.

Seth was the best host I’ve had. He was super helpful and understanding of my situation. Location was great around 23 mins from Portland. Place was a great price since staying in Portland was pricey and parking would be a nightmare. Thank you Seth for an easy stay.

We stayed for just one night and it was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It was our first time traveling with our dog, and the space was welcoming and pet-friendly, which made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Great communication from the host as well. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing view and location! We loved how convenient this location was to shopping and restaurants. Having never been to Portland, this was a very pleasant surprise for us. Parking in the lot directly next to the building was easy and close. Sitting on the balcony watching the boats was so relaxing. Very comfortable condo and we would definitely stay again.

Wonderful place, beautiful view, clean home, would Definitely rebooked in the near future! 100% recommend

I would recommend it 100%

Lovely space that perfectly fit our needs. Description and photos were very accurate. And it was so clean!

Thank you for letting us stay with you. We had a fantastic weekend

The Baxter Suite was perfect for our weekend stay with 4 people. Thomas was a great host- very responsive and accommodating. The apartment is beautiful and very clean. The bathroom is gorgeous and beds were so comfy. One note is that the only mirror is in the bathroom and there is no full length mirror (not a huge issue but a small struggle with 4 women trying to get ready at the same time lol). The free parking spot was very nice to have but there was also plenty of street parking available. Overall Thomas’s place had everything we needed and we would stay here again!

Amazing apartment at a great location! Lots of character and the newly renovated kitchen was a plus. Very quiet neighborhood that allowed us to relax. Dave is a great host and was very helpful and flexible when it came to our check in time. We definitely recommend his place and will be back soon! Thank you Dave!

Great location in a classic historic building with exposed brick and beams. Walkable to everything Portland has to offer. Ocotillo right down the street is a gem for high quality food with a relaxed vibe. Brian was friendly and his place was perfect for a weekend getaway in Portland.
