We chose this place based on previous reviews. Not sure when a management change was made, but the previous reviews do not reflect the current status of this place. Positives-very cute entry with nice, though overgrown, foliage. Enjoyed the eclectic array of items in the home. Nice space for two people. Good location close to Portland but away from city noise. Vacasa personnel responded quickly and were all nice folks. Negatives- no lights on outside. The parking is unmarked and unlit, you have to hop the curb. Stepping stone walkway spaced too far apart to roll luggage is through overgrown foliage. Not clean - linens dirty, stained and ripped! Only one dry towel as all the others, folded and stacked in closet, were wet! We called both the owners and management company - owners did not respond. Lowest quality paper goods and no boxed tissue. Hopefully, the new management will up their standards and get these issues resolved.

The good is this is a spacious, comfy house. We were able to spread out. The bad was that they called us 30 min before checkin to tell us we couldn't get in for 3 more hours due to delayed housekeeping. C'mon. We've been traveling all day to get to you and you tell us 30 before checking in that we can't? We had dinner resos, how were we supposed to change? I asked for a refund. We'll see if we got a partial one. THEN, usually.... even in hotels they have a back up box of Kleenex or roll of TP. I texted them thinking it may have been locked away. I never got a response. We were literally down to 3 squares of tp.... nothing. For the amount we paid, we should have been able v to get in on time and have the comfort of knowing that they have back up supplies for us.

We were on our honeymoon riding up and down the east coast and settled in Maine for a few nights. The house was lovely, well appointed, and very clean.

Great spot, updated kitchen. Loved this cute house. Everything you could need. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was so beautiful decorated and had everything we needed for our stay.

Great location with anything you want close by. Very clean and well decorated with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.

We had a wonderful, long weekend stay at this house in South Portland. It’s the perfect size for two, and it’s perfectly located between the South Portland beaches and the much busier scene over in Portland proper. We had our bikes with us and barely moved the car after arriving — we were able to bike to the beaches and lighthouses plus markets, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Best of all, though, is the PLANT LIFE at this rental. Both inside and outside, the space is filled with gorgeous plants, from the towering clematis around the front door to the wonderful tropical plants found all throughout the house. A splendid, restful little spot that we hope to return to.

Enjoyed South Portland, the home was very cozy and clean. Easy access to the ocean and shops.

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable cottage in South Portland. Great location, Beautiful kitchen and immaculately clean. Would love to come again.

Great location. Near public transportation if you need it. Enjoyed Portland Head lighthouse and holy donut. House is adequately stocked with necessities and some extras if you need them.

The location is accessible to the shore and the city. The cottage was clean and updated. The owner was immediately responsive to a smoke alarm issue.

Kitchen had everything one would need for your stay and the bedroom and bed were very comfortable and the bathroom modern and well equipped. The washer/dryer was an added bonus.

A small getaway in a beautiful town. Close to the city but small town New England feel. The house was wonderful. Very calming. Exactly what I needed.

Loved it very clean and updated!

My girlfriend and I wanted to visit Portland. I came across this home and although it is not in downtown, it is a very short drive to downtown. The property itself was very clean, well stocked, and modern. Perfect size for 2 people to stay. The check-in process was easy as well as the check out process. I would 10/10 recommend this home to anyone and I would stay here again if I ever come back to Portland!

The home is small and cozy and beautifully decorated. It came equip with everything we needed. The drive into Portland is easy and quick, and in the other direction there is access to beautiful beaches.

Had a great time. A little road noise but not to bad. Close to downtown. We took an Uber into downtown about a 10 minute drive. Cheaper than parking. House was very clean. Only used the TV downstairs which was great.

Beautiful cottage in a location convenient to Portland. It was so quick and easy to get into Portland but also enjoyed biking around South Portland and seeing the lighthouses. The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only complaint was that it was a little noisy because of traffic from the road.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a difficult property to review. The negatives I’ll mention can’t be remediated . The property was very clean and comfortable with many amenities. Very well appointed. The general location was perfect for getting around to the many sites in Portland. We felt perfectly safe. The owners were very responsive to our one and only question. We could not ask for a better property.However, prospective renters need to be aware of two things, one of which would’ve been a deal breaker for us had we known. The property is on a very busy road and very close to the road. The bedroom is not “sheltered” from traffic noise. If you’re a light sleeper or just bothered by constant passing traffic at 40 mph +, you might want to reconsider. The second item is parking. It was a challenge to find and navigate in and out of the spot while negotiating with the traffic. We had a sedan, and it might have been easier with an SUV to improve visibility. The description of the parking space location we received was not the best, especially when arriving after dark.

This was a lovely cottage that provided a cozy, homey environment for my husband and I for our weekend away. It had a great location, only 10 minutes from downtown Portland and easy access to lighthouses and beaches. Very quiet neighborhood and beautiful flowers surrounding the house!

Small getaway house, perfect for two. Easy access to many restaurants, downtown, beaches.

we had a great time in south portland. this house was conveniently located to all of the places we wanted to visit. the house was very clean and all towels and linens were provided which was great - one less thing we had to pack with us! we loved that there was a grill at the house! the only thing we weren’t a fan of was not being allowed to park in the driveway and that the parking spot was on the side of the road on a busy street. also, we could only turn the downstairs TV on and off using the button on the side of the TV - the remote didn’t work, so it was stuck on one channel. and the TV upstairs didn’t have cable and we could only watch Netflix. overall it was a good place to stay for 3 nights - you can tell they put a lot of work into it!

Great location close to everything. Lots to do in the surrounding area's The property was spotless clean, is well kept, nicely decorated and has everything you could possibly need for your stay and then some. The owners made themselves available should you have any issue's, a truly great place to stay!

We had a great stay here and would stay here again in a minute. The place was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and enhanced with dozens of plants that are being raised with care (and great light.) The owners were extremely responsive with any questions. We loved the radiant heat that made our mid-winter stay very cozy.

Owner keeps the property in excellent condition. Everything was provided.
