A historic treasure in Southern Maine, very unique and spacious

The Sealander House was built by the City's Mayor in 1926. This historical home is full of old world charm, huge rooms, huge windows and drenched in sunlight. It features hardwood floors, a working fireplace, pocket doors, French doors, a huge dining room, 2 modern kitchens, 2 gas grills, one on the back porch off the kitchen and one on the 2nd floor deck, inviting porches and decks, a beautiful cupola. Lots of privacy with established gardens. Across the Street from Clifford Park. An amazing home perfect for groups/celebrations.

{What I am not interested in hosting drunken events with associated dangerous
behaviors like partying and vomiting on the roof, public urination and large numbers of attendees not accounted for in the reservation (12 guests listed and 60 are at the house) with associated destruction of my vintage house and property. This has only happened to me a couple of times but it's been heartbreaking. Not to mention my neighbors get upset. Most people are absolutely wonderful and are very kind and respectful to my property. I just want it to be clear to all since I have had this problem in the past.

I have a Eufy security system at The Sealander House. There are 4 cameras and they are all external. They are facing the doors to the house, the front door, the back door, the 2nd floor deck door and the balcony door. They are not on all the time. They are triggered by motion. My favorite pics so far have been wildlife. When I do not have guests the house is empty. I do not live close by so I find this security helpful and reassuring. I hope you do too.

The property has lots of establish trees and perennials and so so many birds. It feels like a bird sanctuary. I love this. You feel very private even though you are still in the city. It has a large front lawn and I have a fire pit on the front lawn.

I have a large assortment of beach gear too for your use including a beach umbrella, beach buggy, beach chairs, beach toys including boogie boards, and beach towels.

I really want my guests to have everything they need to have a great time. Have fun.

Amazing Stay!

The check-in was easy, the host is lovely and responds quickly. The beautiful historic house is huge and with 3 floors, 6 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and a large deck adjacent to the 2nd floor kitchen, our family of eleven was very comfortable. There is a nice front yard and a large porch for many enjoyable evenings. The house is only a few minutes away from many beaches and the owner has thoughtfully provided all sorts of beach necessities for the guests to borrow.

Spacious home

Our family of 12 stayed very comfortably in this huge old home. The dining room accommodated us perfectly. We enjoyed the fire pit and gathering on the front lawn for games and s'mores in the evenings. A good time was had by all, 13-74 years old.

Great House!

We had a marvelous time at the Sealander House. There were 2 kitchens, bedrooms were adequately sized, beds were comfy, and plenty of TP and towels for guests. This is my second time renting from this owner (she has another beautiful home nearby), & she was responsive to any issues.

We had a group of around 30 family members and friends to attend my daughter’s baby shower.

The house was perfect, we really enjoyed the spacious dining room and lovely parlors. It was a sunny day so we also were able to enjoy time the upstairs deck and porches. I love all of the trees and bushes, it make the property very private.

Plenty of room for our family of 15. We enjoyed having large rooms for gathering, to play games, etc. We even had a family Olympics in the front yard. Close to beaches, and amusement/waterpark, with the house having plenty of beach towels. Laura was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Only negative was that when we got there the garbage bins were half full, which again with 15 of us it didn’t take long to fill. We put the bins out on trash day but they weren’t picked up. So had to place bags next to bins. Otherwise great place for a family reunion.
Chilling on the porch
Lots of rooms for game time
Large dining room, so we could all eat together

Our running team loved staying at the house. It worked perfect for all of us. It had everything we needed and it was close to the Old Port Half Marathon race in Portland. The owner of the property was very responsive to anything we needed. The house was clean and well stocked. Lots of sleeping options for groups. The house was very easy to check in and out of. The house is located around other homes, but feels secluded by the tall trees. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The house had enough parking for our team. Our team would definitely stay at the house again if we came back. We highly recommend staying here!

Historic gem!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sealander House. It was the perfect spot for us to host a bridal shower. The space was open and bright and the second full kitchen was such an amazing help. The porches are gorgeous and the guests appreciated being able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Laura was very responsive and helpful. Thank you!!

Beach Week

We had a great week at the Sealander. Our party of 16 included 9 adults and 6 children ages 18 months to 10 years. There was plenty of space for all. We enjoyed the front porch and yard as well as the living space inside. A/C was great. Plenty of parking for our 5 families. Mature plantings and trees provided privacy. Easy drive to beaches. Would definitely stay again

Beautiful historical home

We were a group of 10 friends, going to the New England area to see the autumn leaves since we are from Miami. The house is beautiful and very historical, the accommodations very comfortable, we especially enjoyed the garden and the sun room. Plenty of gathering spaces. The kitchen was fully equipped. The bathrooms with plenty of linens. Excellent washer and dryer and dishwasher. Communication with the host was excellent, she is prompt and very pleasant. All in all it was an excellent stay.

Charming, Spacious Victorian

We spent several days with family at this lovely Victorian mansion in preparation for a family wedding. The accommodations were quite spacious with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and two kitchen areas, providing ample room for all of us (including two youngsters). The kitchen was well stocked and the house very clean. It is an amazing house, with quite a history, close to Saco and across the street from a beautiful park. The owner was super helpful and hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay!

Ideal house for us!

The Sealander House was perfect for a get-away workspace for our non-profit board of directors to hold our retreat. There were plenty of comfortable places for us to gather, work, discuss, and connect. We were all able to have our own beds (all eight of us)! The house is light, bright, huge but still cozy, and ideal for us. In fact, we would love to come back again next year!
