Our stay was fantastic. The property was so peaceful and off the beaten path. It was very cozy and clean. Exactly as descibed and the hosts were great. Even though we were in the apartment attached to their residence we did not k ow they were there unless we needed to communicate with them. It was the perfect place for out getaway.
We really liked this place. The scent of pine and surrounded by trees was very private. Although attached to a larger home it was as though they weren’t home. We used the location as a hub to be able to get anywhere north or south in 20 minutes. The inside was exactly as pictured. Very comfortable space.
The hosts are helpful, and the place was lovely! Loved the outdoor space. It was so beautiful at night. Not a far trip to Portland or other places if that's what you're looking for. Would 10/10 recommend.
Nice little apartment close to every thing! Amenities were as described, bed very comfortable, good shower and very quiet neighborhood. Owners were responsive to a small issue with hot water faucet in bathroom - they fixed it promptly. There is not a washer and dryer though and I missed having this as we had a 16 day stay. Other than that, everything was perfect.
Very nice neighborhood, very clean, well equipped and excellent location. Owners were very accommodating.
Property was outstanding. Beautiful home in a lovely quiet neighborhood just a short 15 minute ride to Portland or half hour ride south to Kennebunkport. The apartment was well equipped with every thoughtful convenience. Sorry we didn't get a chance to see Lisa or Jim maybe next time.
We had 4 adults stay comfortably. This is a very nice neighborhood and we felt very safe during our stay! The apartment had some essentials during our stay (shampoo, coffee pods/creamer, condiments), which was nice. There was an issue with the water during our stay, but Jim and Lisa were fast to respond and the problem was resolved within a few hours.
We stayed near Portland and this was a great spot. It was close to Portland, Kennebunk and Freeport. Place was nice and enjoyable.
This location exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and quiet. The hosts thought of all the details including quality beach towels and chairs, coffee, and high-speed Wifi/TV options. I highly recommend this property.
The property was as advertised and the communication with the host when needed was great. I would definitely stay again at their property when I'm in the area.
Beautiful property, quiet and private! We really appreciated this especially being close to everything we wanted to see and do. Jim and Lisa were wonderful hosts. They were responsive when contacted. They are very thoughtful regarding every little detail to make your stay extra special. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Everything you could ask for and more was provided. Great place on a a great property!
This apartment is in a beautiful area just 20 minutes from downtown Portland. This was the last leg of our trip and we knew we wanted to spend a day in Portland and a day in Kennebunkport. This location was perfect for accessing both. The owners are great communicators and they offer the perfect little extras - charging stations AND cords next to both sides of the bed. That’s thoughtful! Coffee too. A little bonus…. A sweet little dog named Fenway will let you cuddle him if you’d like. And if not, he’s cool. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
We stayed for a week in August. The property was very clean and well appointed - with a great BBQ grill on the deck. Although attached to the main house, we had complete privacy from our hosts. I would stay here again the next time we visit ME.
Apt was beautiful , clean.
Good location to use as homebase to explore the area. Space was great. Clean and well stocked. King bed was super comfy.
This VRBO is exactly as listed. Secluded, quiet and relaxing. Our host was helpful and answered any questions we had. She is very detailed with communication. I would give this a 10 out of 10 if possible.
very clean accommodation! Nice apartment. Jim and Lisa are very nice and discreet. Very welcoming. We recommend this host.
This lovely 1 bedroom “in-law” type setup is perfectly arranged for a comfortable stay. It is a bit off the beaten path but chances are if you’re in Portland for the nightlife you’re not going to be looking to stay in Scarborough. It’s very quiet. There is good WIFi and the separate Apple TV units in bedroom and living area are a nice touch. The kitchen is very well appointed, with plenty of dishes, glasses, and utensils and even condiments, cooking oil, and spices if you’re inclined to cook. The AC works well for hot days. The bed is comfortable and there’s a ceiling fan in the bedroom. There are motion activated nightlights strategically located (although I turned off the one in the bedroom since it came on when the fan was going). The towels were thick and luxurious and the shampoo and shower gel dispensers were convenient (conditioner was not provided so I bought some at the Hannaford). The shower was fine, a bit lower in pressure than ideal for me but not unacceptable. I didn’t use the grill or the fire pit. The power to the whole neighborhood went out while I was there and the owner responded immediately to my communication to let me know (nothing they could do but I appreciated the communication) and it was back on by the time we got back from lunch. All in all a very pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend!
Our experience was wonderful! The house was fantastic and perfect for our family trip! Lisa and Jim were amazing hosts and very easy to communicate with. We loved how quiet and secluded the property was and the location was perfect for traveling around the area. We would highly recommend this property to anyone!
We spent a great long-weekend in this clean, comfortable, peaceful rental. The space was thoughtfully prepared for guests so we had everything we needed for a care-free stay. Located in a beautiful neighborhood, it was an easy drive to restaurants, beaches, and beautiful Portland. King-sized bedroom was very comfortable!
The place was fabulous, every amenity you could want. It was quiet, homey and centrally located to so many things within 1 hr in every direction. Although on site, it was as if the hosts were never there - unless you needed something - in which case they were very responsive. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. What a value (we almost didn’t want to say that, for fear of it becoming too popular that we can’t go back). Would very highly recommend!!
Very clean place. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay here.
This spot is perfect. There is nothing you will need staying there. Tons of privacy. Modern, great neighborhood. Don't hesitate to book.
Beautiful apartment off the main house in an even nicer neighborhood! The host were very kind and helpful during my stay. The apartment is very clean and peaceful. Great location for anyone visiting Portland or travel healthcare professionals on assignment at Maine Medical Center.
