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, lots of large windows and drenched in sunlight. It features hardwood floors, a working fireplace, pocket doors, French doors, a huge dining room, 2 full kitchens, 2 gas grills, one on the back porch off the kitchen and one on the 2nd floor deck, a large inviting front porches, a large deck off the 2nd floor kitchen, a covered balcony. Lots of privacy with established gardens and a fire pit. The house sits across the Street from Clifford Park. An amazing home perfect for groups, vacations and celebrations. An easy day trip to Portland. The house is close to numerous beaches, a short drive to many popular tourists spots, 25 minutes from Portland and the University of New England is down the street.

I have a Eufy security system at The Sealander House. The cameras are external. My favorite pics so far have been wildlife.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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
