Enjoy the solitude
Ed and Steve have given a lot of thought to make our stay easy and comfortable. With the bakery and ice cream shops close by and the beach within walking distance. Wish we could have been able to stay longer.

Wonderful Location and Property
My three sisters and I stayed at the Condo for five nights. It was very comfortable and the location in South Portland was wonderful. We enjoyed going to the Scratch Bakery which was just across the street. The hosts also provide a complete list of restaurants and other sights in the area which was very detailed and helpful. We had a question regarding an issue in the Condo and the host responded immediately. They were very helpful. It was wonderful to have parking right outside our door and there were many nearby restaurants plus it was only a short drive to downtown Portland and the harbor area and shops. You can easily drive or take an UBER Lyft or taxi. I would stay here again if I return to Portland.

Easy peasy!
From booking to check out this rental was really great. Check in was effortless. Owner was quick to reply to questions. House was pleasantly spacious. Beds were very comfy. After having many engagements in the busier dwtn Portland area it was very nice to come back to the more laid back feel of South Portland. Scratch bakery every morning was an added bonus.

Phenomenal location for a beautiful period home
This is a beautiful turn-of-the-century home that has been very tastefully updated to include the historic elements while offering modern conveniences. Every conceivable amenity was provided in the home to make it feel like "home". And the location is second to none! We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it.
