Fantastic Stay, Great Location!

I had a wonderful time in Maine with a group of five adults, and overall, this property was great!The accommodations were top-notch — both the sleeping and shower areas were comfortable, and the house provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the appliances were easy to use, making meal prep a breeze.The location was perfect for exploring Maine, and parking was super convenient. As for communication, Lauren was responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions, making check-in and check-out smooth.A couple of minor things to note: The AC on the upper floor wasn’t as effective as expected, but the rest of the house was fine. Also, the shower dial on the lower level was a bit tricky, with hot and cold reversed, but it wasn’t a big issue for adults, though something to keep in mind for families with young kids.Overall, I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for a group looking to enjoy a memorable trip in Maine!Carolyn and friends from the VA, Ohio, and NY!

Portland stay

Stayed with family during my father’s surgery at Maine Medical Center. The apartment location was very convenient, allowing us to walk back and forth for hospital visits without needing to drive. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Easy check in and excellent communication with owner.

Cute place, not best for our family

This was our first time in Portland and I read the reviews and was pleased with what I read but I’d like to provide some feedback based on our stay. The property is very convenient to the Old Port area and super close to the airport so that was a plus. However, it was also very close to the interstate and we heard traffic pretty much all the time. Thankfully we brought our little ones sound machine. We are accustomed to more space for our family to spread out. No dining area to sit as a family except around a smaller island in the kitchen so for the four of us, it didn’t work. One of the showers did not have any hot water so we had to use upstairs shower. Also with kids sometimes you may want to utilize a bathtub and there was not one. Overall it was not the best for our family but we made it work. The property manager was always responsive. My 7 year old loved the board games provided. The upstairs loft room was very spacious but downstairs was a little tight especially with a two year old and corners. Give it a 3/5!

Portland Getaway

We have never stayed in downtown Portland and we enjoyed being that close to town. This property has a lot of stairs, but it’s worth it to get up there in that pretty place. It was convenient to have parking on the property. We would recommend it for sure.

A beautifully appointed space close to everything.

My family and I recently stayed at a property that surpassed all expectations. The home was beautifully appointed, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. The loft space was a delightful highlight, providing a special area for my teen kids to enjoy their own space, which they loved. The kitchen has been wonderfully remodeled, equipped with everything we needed, including matching glass sets and elegant flatware and silverware. The air conditioning was efficient, making our stay comfortable despite the summer heat. Initially, we were concerned about the proximity to the overpass, but it turned out to be a non-issue. Thanks to the home's older construction with quality windows, it was very well noise-insulated, and we were never disturbed by traffic noise while inside property. The street itself was peaceful, making our stay feel like a perfect little retreat just a stone’s throw away from the hotspots in downtown Portland—only an eight-minute drive away, with a Hannafords supermarket even closer, just four minutes by car. Overall, this property offered a tranquil and convenient base for exploring Portland, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

THE place to stay in Portland.

We flew in to Portland Christmas day to be with our 8 month old grandson on his first Christmas. The house was perfect. My wife and I took the upstairs suite and my son and daughter in law used one of the bedrooms downstairs. The third downstairs bedroom was a napping room for my grandson, his mom, and my son in law. The kitchen is AMAZING. Hannaford supermarket is five minutes away and we were able to buy groceries for the week and ate at least two meals a day at the house. On the day I didn't want to cook breakfast I bought donuts from Holy Donuts located just around the corner. We were able to park our car in the drive and there was plenty of on street parking for our kids and in-laws. Old Port is a quick drive from the house and we spent a couple of days being tourists and taking part of the local food, wine, and dining scene. This house would be great for couples or a family of six, seven if you have an infant. The host provides a Pack and Play. I dealt with Lauren from the time of our booking and leading right up to our trip. I had millions of questions and she was always quick with a response. Definitely a FIVE STAR host. We did not use the fire pit or swing set because of the weather but they were both in great condition. I would recommend this VRBO who want to take in Portland for both the accommodations and the convenient location to Old Port.
