Furnished 1-Bedroom Steps from Willard Beach $1,650/month Beautiful, fully furnished one-bedroom apartment in South Portland's highly desirable Willard Beach neighborhood, just a two-minute walk from the beach. Available November 1, 2026 through May 1, 2027 with a six-month lease. This sunny first-floor apartment is approximately 600 square feet and is located in a quiet, owner-occupied four-unit building. The apartment has been thoughtfully furnished and combines the charm of an older Maine home with an updated kitchen and bath, hardwood floors, original architectural details, and a cozy gas fireplace. The bright living area receives wonderful natural light throughout the day and includes comfortable furnishings, bookshelves and a gas fireplace especially nice during a Maine winter. The open layout connects the living space to the kitchen and sunny dining area, making the apartment feel larger than its square footage suggests. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, solid cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space and peninsula seating. A dining area surrounded by windows provides a lovely spot for meals, morning coffee or working from home. The spacious bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, bedside tables, dresser and additional seating. Tall windows, hardwood floors and original woodwork give the room a warm, comfortable feel. The updated bathroom includes a large shower with both a rainfall showerhead and handheld shower. The apartment comes fully furnished and equipped, making it a great option for someone relocating to the Portland area, a professional here on temporary assignment, someone between homes, or anyone looking for a comfortable furnished home for the winter without committing to a year-long lease. An Exceptional Willard Beach Location One of the best features of this apartment is its location. Willard Beach is approximately a two-minute walk from the house, so it's easy to walk down to the ocean for a morning coffee, sunrise or waterfront stroll. Willard is a friendly, walkable residential neighborhood with easy access to Willard Square, local cafes, bakeries and restaurants. Beautiful walking, jogging and biking routes begin right outside the door. One of our favorite neighborhood walks is the approximately three-mile round trip from the house to Bug Light Park, with frequent views of Casco Bay and Portland Harbor along the way. Southern Maine Community College is nearby, and downtown Portland is just across the bridge, providing easy access to Portland's restaurants, shops, arts and entertainment while allowing you to come home to a peaceful neighborhood by the ocean. The apartment is furnished as a real home rather than a temporary rental, with comfortable furniture, artwork, books and the everyday essentials that make it easy to settle in.
