Very clean and comfortable! The home was equipped with everything needed! And the first property we have stayed at that was better than the pictures! Beds were all very comfortable, more than enough space in every room, and the fresh flowers on arrival were an awesome surprise! We will definitely be back!

A great location to many of our family members as well as the beaches and favorite seafood restaurants!

The property is great! I felt the location was perfect....gave us the feeling privacy but was also located within a few minutes drive to anything we needed or wanted to do. The owners were a pleasure to deal with...great communication and very friendly. I would definitely stay at this property again!

My sister and I took our 92 yr old mom on a mother/daughter trip to coastal Maine--we picked the perfect spot to stay! The home was located close to beaches, restaurants and attractions, yet was completely quiet, private and surrounded by nature. Although my mom is spry and active, it was nice to have everything on the ground floor and with a ramp to the front door. The kitchen was well equipped (so glad it had a Keurig coffee maker!) and having 2 bathrooms for the 3 bedrooms was a much appreciated plus!

The property was exactly what was advertised. It was in a great location, easy drive to the beach and local restaurants. We have been coming to OOB for many years with our family, now we have grand children to share this special place with.
Thank you to the Cary's for making our OOB 2024 trip so much fun and hassle free!

This property is a central location for most activities. Everything is updated and exceptionally nice. The owner responds quickly, in fact I inquired as to which kind of coffee maker there was and it was the regular type and he responded again that he put a Keurig, as well. A very nice one, too. The yard was big enough for our grandson to play baseball. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking in that area for a nice place to stay.

We loved this secluded home. It was only a 10 minute drive from the Scarborough Fish & Game club where we competed in the Maine State Sporting Clays shoot. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We liked it and booked to go back in September!

The tap water had a distinctive brown tinge to it for the first 3 days of our stay. As a result, we bought bottled water for drinking and cooking.
Also, two of the three TVs did not work. The one with the combo DVD/VHS player wouldn’t play a new DVD. None of the 3 TVs were connected for broadcast TV. Luckily, I knew my Amazon Prime password, otherwise we would not have had any TV.
However, other than those two nits, the rental was very nice, quiet, and well provisioned!

We came up for the 2024 UNE Commencement in Portland and needed enough space for 5 adults and a few vehicles. Located just a little south of Portland, this was the perfect solution!
I have to say, this property is a gem. The owners have done a fantastic job in appointing the home with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was modern and well equipped for any cooking needs. The living spaces were well furnished and inviting, and all three of the bedrooms were a joy to stay in. Lets not forget the warm and fun decorations/artwork around the house.
The icing on the cake for me was how invited we all felt in staying at the house. Our contact for the home was beyond receptive for any questions we had and always responded in a timely manner. Major kudos there! We even had fresh flowers waiting in the kitchen for our arrival. Nice touch!
We also enjoyed the privacy of the property - something you'll never get staying at an in-city house/condo or in a hotel. Nothing beats walking on the grass in the morning enjoying that first cup of coffee while looking out over an adjacent pasture. A peaceful way to kick things off before diving into a very full day of activities in the city.
When back in the area, we will definitely book here again! Thanks to Zac for an incredibly wonderful stay and a weekend to remember. Cheers!

This was the perfect place to stay for our vacation. The location was awesome. The house was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The vase of flowers welcoming us was sweet and thoughtful. The owners were kind and responded quickly when we asked a couple of questions. We would stay here again.

The location of the house was great for our purposes, a much more economical option than staying in Pine Point or OOB. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and seasonings. We enjoyed the tranquility of sitting on the sun porch. The vase of fresh flowers upon arrival was a nice touch.
However, the space could have been cleaner and the mattress size of the master was not what was advertised. The listing stated that there are three queen beds, the bed in the master is a full. This makes a big difference to us taller than average folk. I mentioned this to the property manager and there was no acknowledgment of the listing being inaccurate.
As for cleanliness, the A/C unit filters were full of dust, under the couch cushions was full of dirt and crumbs, and there were mouse droppings under the baseboard heating in the “Victorian” bedroom.
I would have initially thought of renting again in the future but the property manager’s lack of acknowledgment of misrepresenting the space has dissuaded me from returning.

We stayed there for a family wedding party in Scarborough about 10 minutes from the property. Everything was clean. The amenities were great. We had to do a little cooking and the dishes, pots and pans were ample. Nice bedrooms and nice bathrooms. Two of the beds were pretty soft but just fine for kids. The master bedroom had a nice firm mattress which is what I prefer. A quick text to let Zach know I arrived and he gave me a code to get in.
Close to most everything.
I would stay here again.

Very clean & tidy, appliances & all in good condition. Lots of the little things you need in the kitchen were present, unlike many rentals. Overall very good place to stay. We were day-tripping and this is an excellent location for that purpose. Very good value, and all-in-all a pleasant and hassle-free experience.

Very nice home, great location. Easy to go to each days excursion, no matter which way the day was taking us. Lay out of the home is perfect for the family get togethers or offers privacy.

This was the perfect home base for our annual Maine getaway! We were close to all the things we needed and wanted to do. The host was wonderful, and left us fresh flowers for our arrival. The home was beautiful, clean, well appointed, and the views of the woods were lovely. Thank you for a great stay!

The home in Scarborough Maine was just perfect. Very Clean, with lovely fresh flowers waiting for us. There were 5 of us and we had so much room. The house has 3 Bedrooms on different parts of the house making it quite private for each of us. The bedrooms all had queen size beds which is so hard to find, usually one bedroom will have a twin or bunk beds. The kitchen had all the utensils that you would need to make meals and serve them as well. The location is very private and we had daily visits from some very beautiful deer. The master bedroom has a sun room off of it and my husband and his sister enjoyed their morning coffee watching the deer some mornings out the windows.We were so pleased. Zac was very helpful and any questions we had were answered very quickly. We all had so much fun that we are hoping we can stay here next year.

We recently spent 5 days at this property and really enjoyed it. The house is very clean and the setting is private, but you are very close to everything in Scarborough. I had an issue with the VRBO app on our way to the house and could not access our code for the front door and Zac responded to my email immediately. We also left an item behind and he did his very best to try to catch us before we were too far away and then graciously went out of his way to mail the item back to us, which we really appreciated. Overall, this is a great house with even better customer service!

We rented this lovely home over the Thanksgiving weekend and it was everything we hoped for-quiet, clean, a well stocked kitchen of cookware and bakeware for preparing meals, plenty of room to relax, plenty of parking and wonderful attention to detail. Any questions we had were answered promptly and check-in/check-out was smooth. The home is located in the country, yet close to restaurants, the beach and nearby Portland if wanting to explore the area. We look forward to renting this lovely home again.

House was spacious with 3 separate bedrooms located in different ends of the house along with two full bathrooms.
Kitchen was open to the dining area and living room and came with a full selection of pots and pans and spices to prepare meals. It was a perfect retreat in the country to relax.

This property was very spacious and handicapped accessible, which helped me get in and out of the house. One of the bathrooms has a shower that is big enough for a shower chair. It is located in the perfect area for all kinds of attractions. Over all we are very happy with this place.

We are three adult women who used the house as a base for traveling around the area (Portland, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach). It was very private and had a great layout. The kitchen was well stocked and the living arrangements were great. The beds were terrific and the master bath had a wonderful tub with jets. Everything was immaculate. I would stay again and highly recommend the place.

Loved this house. The pictures didn’t do it justice. It was clean, spacious and quiet. My daughter really enjoyed the little sunroom off the master. 😊 It was nice to be so close to the beach but also be able to avoid the crowds and have a yard to enjoy!

The house is very nice, well kept and very comfortable! We wish we were able to spend more time at the house during our visit, so that we could enjoy it even more. The setting is very nice and much greener than the picture shows. The air conditioners did an excellent job during an unusually hot early August. We would highly recommend a stay here!

Excellent location and wonderful property
This might be a duplicate, but I am happy to post again since I was invited to. We enjoyed arriving to this property after a total of 2,000 flight miles. The early pictures did not do justice to the grounds. It was stunningly beautiful with Spring greenery and trees in the distance. The floorplan was perfect with the living room and kitchen in the center and 3 bedrooms off to 3 different sides of the house. The sunroom off of the master bedroom was perfect for some remote work - and for spotting an occasional deer. 2 full bathrooms with one accessible shower were good for rotation of our party. The location was excellent and close enough to everything from Portland (about 10 miles to the airport) to York (20 ish miles?) and everything in between (Old Orchard Beach about 7 miles for example). I would definitely stay again if in the area. Fresh flowers greeted us, too. It was lovely.
