Oceanfront Castle Estate with Private Beach & Seasonal Heated Pool.

The Castle at Garrison Field was built in the style of a classic Cotswolds, England country manor. Set on 14 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, this private oceanfront estate overlooks Spring Cove and the Atlantic Ocean, offering a peaceful and elegant retreat just minutes from Portland.
This magnificent six-bedroom seaside estate is the perfect place for families and friends to gather, relax, and enjoy time together. The property features multiple gardens inspired by the English countryside, with charming low stone walls that divide the grounds and frame the formal pool area.
Guests can enjoy a wide range of amenities, including an oceanfront conservatory, a private beach (tidal) and a seasonal heated pool (open June through mid-September). Whether you’re relaxing by the water, strolling through the gardens, or taking in the coastal views, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at The Castle.
Despite its secluded feel, the estate is only 8 minutes from Portland’s Old Port district, where you’ll find some of Maine’s best restaurants, shops, and waterfront bars.
For a truly memorable Maine experience, The Castle at Garrison Field also offers traditional lobster bakes (ask about pricing) and we have an in house catering company if guests are interested.
Come stay with us and let us help make your dream vacation come true.
Please Note: The owner lives next door and is available should guests need assistance or have any questions during their stay.

Our three generation family of 11, ranging in age from 6 to 74, really enjoyed our week's stay at the "Castle" which was built in 1928 and has been very well maintained. The interior is beautiful, well appointed and more than met all of our needs. It has a great history and "exploring" the house is enjoyable. The grounds are well maintained and very private. And, the view of the ocean is present from multiple rooms in the house. Shannon, the host, and Geoff, the owner could not have been nicer and handled any questions we had quickly. We have used numerous VRBO homes and this property is easily one of the very best. All eleven of us truly enjoyed our stay.

Stephanie W., Portland, Maine

Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed at this property 4 nights. The home is in a beautiful location with stunning ocean views & historic charm but there are a number of maintenance upkeep issues that don’t align with the premium pricing. The house has character & good bones, but there has been significant deferred maintenance. The entry grounds were unkempt w/downed branches & leaves, significant overgrowth of the drive that brushes against the car & a non-functioning entry gate held together w/bungee cords. Inside the home, we expected some quirks from an older property, but basic functionality should be a given. Missing light bulbs, remotes & thermostats with dead batteries, improperly hemmed/falling drapery, & stained rugs detracted from the experience. There were many spider webs, dirty dishes in the cabinets, & a cloudy pool that made us hesitant to use it. Window screens were torn, unusable, or missing entirely. In fairness, we chose not to report these issues during our stay because we deeply value our privacy & did not want to spend our vacation coordinating w/the host. However, we did share our observations after checkout. Unfortunately, the host responded defensively, noting we should have spoken up sooner. We understand no older home is perfect but at this price point, guests should reasonably expect a higher standard of care & attention to detail. We hope this review helps future guests set realistic expectations & encourages the host to make needed improvements.

Beautiful estate property with incredible hosts

This is an exceptional home that is historical, gorgeous and comfortable as well. A perfect location and layout for our family of 12 adults. We travel all over the world and these were by far the most responsive hosts we've had in any setting. Shannon was super responsive since we booked a year earlier, and during our stay constantly in touch to confirm all is well. Minor things were addressed within minutes. Along with Jeff, the property owner, and Chelsea they hosted a lovely outdoor lobster bake on a gorgeous evening. We felt truly at home and would absolutely return. A very special place that is unique and impossible not to appreciate. Thank you, Jeff, Shannon and Chelsea,!

90th birthday for my spouse

We loved the home and site. Unfortunately, we had too many family and extended family attend. We had not invited children. We found broken glass in the dining room and weed container in the large urn in the living room. The commode in the small bathroom would not flush. It is a beautiful site with real turkeys in the am. I am sorry for our transgressions. I do not want our violation of policies to affect future renters.

The best place I've ever rented in my entire life

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Garrison Field Estate in Cape Elizabeth with a group of 12 women for a celebratory weekend, and it was nothing short of amazing. The estate itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and well-maintained grounds that made for a picturesque setting. The team running the house were brilliant and thoughtful, attending to our every need with a level of care and professionalism that truly made our stay exceptional. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that we had a memorable experience. One highlight of our trip was the lobster bake. If you're staying here, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. It was a delicious and quintessentially Maine experience that everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed.

This house was perfect for me, my married kids, their spouses, and my grandkids. The house was very clean and spacious. It rained the whole time, but we still had a great time. And Shannon, who manages the property, was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Hope to return next year.

Family Gathering

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have celebrated our daughter's wedding with friends and family at Garrison Field. Everything about this property is amazing. I could point everything out that was exceptional, but it would take too long! Both Jeff and Shannon were wonderful to deal with. The lobster bake was outstanding. We eat a lot of lobster in the summer, and this was the best that we ever had. Shannon was very attentive to our guests and made everyone feel welcome and provided impeccable service. I highly recommend this property for family gatherings. My son has an infant and a toddler and he and his wife were able to have a room that was secluded from the others. They couldn't hear us and we couldn't hear them! Our guests were awe struck by the beauty of the home, grounds and ocean. Thank you Jeff and Shannon for making our celebration AMAZING!

Enchanted Castle!

This majestic home is simply amazing! From the second you walk in the front door you are mesmerized by the architectural details, views and condition of this almost 100-year-old castle. The pictures don't do it justice, it is so much prettier in person. It's like stepping back in time. The house is meticulously restored, and the original woodwork, marble & wood floors and leaded windows are all in perfect condition. Every bedroom is nicer than the next and the linens, pillows and amenities are all top of the line. Both the manager Shannon and the owner Jeff are wonderful hosts and take great pride in making sure their guests have everything they need for the perfect stay. Our group consisted of 12 adults and 3 young children, all immediate family. We came up to Cape Elizabeth for a family reunion at my nephew's house which was only 3 miles from the Castle. We could not have found a better place to stay! The kitchen and dining room made for the perfect family gathering spot and we so enjoyed our evening cocktail hours on the rear yard overlooking the expansive lawn and beautiful ocean view. The grounds are pretty amazing and there are 2 outbuildings on the property that make the perfect spot to read a book or just relax. Walking the beach and watching the moon rise over the ocean was a real treat also. I have stayed at a lot of nice places over the years, but none come close to this. I highly recommend it and would give it 6 Stars if I could!

Castle in Maine

We had a truly magical stay. The combination of private ocean and pool was perfect for young kids and adults. The property was peaceful and majestic, unique and interesting. The bedroom ‘wings’ offered privacy for families and insulated everyone from early risers or night owls. We stretched to make this one happen and it was worth every penny. We will go back for many years to come.
