I’m Dan, a US Navy sailor currently on emergency leave because my mother was in critical condition at Maine Medical Center. My parents were on vacation at the time and we have no family in the area, so we had been hopping from place to place as her prognosis develops. My wife booked this property to give us a place to live for a little while. We have an evolving group of people with us as people fly in and out to support my mom. We asked if they would waive their max occupancy, to which they cordially agreed. On arrival, we found that the property was more cramped than we had expected, but decided to stay considering the circumstances. The place was hot from the summer heat so we turned on the A/Cs. After a few minutes, the increased power draw blew a fuse. Based on the property’s outdated electrical, we expected this was likely to happen again and notified the property owner of our intention to find other accommodations. We requested a partial refund, offering to pay for the first night. Unwilling to compromise, they told us they were sending a handyman to replace the fuse and would not refund us. We filed with Vrbo, only to be told we were welcome to return to the property. The prorated refund would have been around $5k. You return home from 6 months of deployment in the Middle East because your mother is dying and the first group of people you do business with immediately steal $5k out of your pocket! Wish I was making this up, honestly just sad.

We had a quick family getaway over July 4 at this house. The location worked well for us being just 10 min from my son and daughter-in-law’s home. And it was great to be able to be just a short walk from a good viewing of Portland’s fireworks. As other reviewers have mentioned, the house is on a well trafficked road and there is noise but there is a back porch and yard. The beds were comfortable. The upstairs rooms have low ceilings and funny angles that are awkward so beware any tall folks in your party.

Such a stunning coastal vacation home perfect for your dream New England vacation. Would stay again!!

My sisters and I came to visit our brother who lives in Portland. The house was neat and clean and comfortable. Conveniently located within 10 minutes of just about every place we wanted to go. Lovely updated kitchen and bathroom. Good water pressure. Love the modern mirror in the bathroom. Air conditioners worked well to keep us cool. It was in the 90’s the first couple days we visited. We enjoyed chatting around the kitchen table and relaxing in the living room. We would highly recommend this property and will likely rent again.

House was easy to access off the main road, clean, and just a short ride into downtown Portland. Would definitely recommend!

It was a lovely VRBO close to Portland. It was clean and spacious. We enjoyed chatting on the screened in porch.

We rented this place for a girls' weekend trip. It was about an 8-minute drive to downtown Portland which was nice, but it was on a busy street so not as much of a neighborhood feel. The kitchen was nice and updated and the living room was cozy. We had six adults with us, so it was a little difficult with only one shower but we made it work. The upstairs bedrooms were a little oddly spaced - it felt like we were always ducking moving about to try and not hit the ceiling fan nor the slanted ceilings. The back screened-in patio was nice to have our coffees and read during the mornings. The property host was communicative and responded quickly to a few questions that I asked. Overall, a good stay but just wouldn't recommend it for groups of more than 3 or 4 adults!

Nice house for my group of 4, with adequate space for a couple more if needed. House was cleaned and tidy and is accurately presented in the pictures you see in this listing. A missed opportunity by our group to utilize the backyard space, including the porch and grill. Window AC units in each bedroom for temperature control. House is on a busy road so you will hear traffic noise, however it didn’t interfere with our access to the house or our ability to come and go from the property. Quick drive into Portland and to the airport from the house.
