This house was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends to see the botanical gardens lights aglow. Rooms were spacious and the set up was perfect for a gathering of a few couples and a baby. The living room was super cozy and great for socializing. We loved the little holiday decorations as well. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
Our stay here was fabulous from start to finish. The house is in a great location - just a few steps from the main part of town. We loved our morning jogs straight from the house, through downtown, and across the pedestrian bridge. House has personality, and is tastefully decorated. Plenty of outdoor space, and plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place!
Had a great end of summer experience with tropical storm Lee. Although many stores and restaurants closed on that Saturday on the store having this house was ideal. It was clean , spacious , had comforts of a home that we like that the storm didn’t bother us. The porch was a great asset to the property , The property manager, Matt was great and communicated with us on how we are doing or have any questions . We loved the location as it was close to everything in Booth Bay Harbor . Looking forward to returning in the future
Our stay at Porchside was great! The home was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean, and quality throughout. It had most of what we needed as well as thing’s unexpected such as a portable highchair, laundry detergent, and children’s toys. It rained most of our visit, so when the sun came out on checkout day, we were kindly allowed to keep our car parked in the driveway beyond checkout to enjoy a walk along the footbridge and around the town. We would suggest a subfloor be installed between the main level and basement to decrease the minor smell of basement. The dehumidifiers were appreciated with the rainfall experienced. We would stay here again!
Family vacation - Loved our stay, had a great time. Porchside is perfect.
We had a fantastic week at the Porchside. The location was convenient to town but also tucked away with a nice yard and great covered porch. The house was well equipped. We look forward to another stay in the future.
We had an amazing time. Great location with all the amenities you could ask for. We will definitely be back
Clean, well equipped, and spacious. The home was walking distance to a beautiful town with lots to do. The Wifi was good and the rental process was streamlined and easy.
Beautiful home that sits on a hill overlooking the harbor. Easy walk to town, 2 decks, incredibly well appointed and ready for relaxing, cooking, reading, napping...the decks catch the harbor breezes, there is ample off street parking, the kitchen has all the things needed for lots of cooking, the beds are comfortable and we enjoyed every minute!
