Wonderful Portland Waterfront Home

Very convenient location with great view and nice yard for our 13 yr old lab!Mark was a great host!

Great place to stay. I would rent again if we make a return trip to Portland

We were in Portland for a family celebration but we also wanted to be close to the Old Port. This house has beautiful water views and is a 5 minute drive to the Portland waterfront. The house is very clean and well maintained - the perfect size for two adult couples. The owner was also excellent in terms of communicating with us and trying to help us make the most out of our trip. The only thing I will point out is that with quaintness of an older New England home it also comes with some low ceilings, so watch your head. That said even at 6’-2” I’d gladly stay here again for everything it has to offer.

Location- Location-Location!This home is perfect for two couples. It’s small, yes. But positively charming! The host knew we were arriving very late in the evening due to flight issues. He had coffee, creamer, pastries, orange juice, strawberries, cheese and prosecco in the fridge. After a long day of travel, it was lovely to wake up and enjoy the lovely ocean view while sipping our morning coffee. We have never experienced that level of hospitality thoughtfulness with a home rental before. This home is so conveniently located. You are away from the bustle of the city center on a quiet, safe street with perfect ocean views, all while being a quick, affordable Uber or Lyft away from the action. We found that using Uber or Lyft was more economical (and convenient) than paying for parking. Stop looking and book this home- you’ll love it!

We were delighted with the location. It was so easy to get to all the places and things we wanted to do from this home. Very nice safe neighborhood. Wonderful walking paths . There is a waterview deck with patio furniture which I enjoyed in the early mornings watching the tide. Great view of the river. This is a sweet older home with some low ceilings . Beds are comfortable, and the owner has stocked and supplied the house well. He responds for any needs. The weather during our stay was surprisingly hot but the house has air conditioners .

We arrived late at night. Mark had explained very well how to get in. He had left coffee and cream as well as a bottle of champagne as welcome gift. We certainly enjoyed our time in his home and looking forward to next year.

The location of this property was ideal - we were on the water with wonderful views yet only a few minutes away from all the Portland hot spots. (Very quick, easy drive into Portland with no issue finding convenient public parking). The house was just right for us (4 adults) with all amenities you would expect plus the bonus of a great chill place to relax in a quiet neighborhood. Loved having the pool table too! And our host, Mark, was fantastic. Talked to him before we arrived and he provided great list of things to do, places to eat, and general tips. He made his home very welcoming and it was a pleasure staying there. Definitely on our list to visit again!! Rave reviews for both the host and the property.

We had a great long weekend in Maine. The house is very close to downtown Portland and convenient to the highway for day trips outside the area. Evenings in the backyard are the perfect way to finish your day while enjoying the breezes and water views.

Great location just outside city. Quick ride to downtown by car or Uber. House was very clean and neat. Stairs upstairs maybe a challenge if you don’t pay attention, as well as upstairs bathroom for a male. Other than that the house was great and would recommend!

MOLD in guest room. Host was willing to change the AC unit but would not acknowledge that mold spreads through the air and isn’t safe. Then tried to gaslight me about being too cautious. Very disappointing. The house has many oddities. Stairs jut into the living room, door handles barely attached, loose bannister, ceilings only accommodate those shorter than 5’ 10”. You will hit your head going up the stairs, using the bathroom and waking up. Bed in master is very uncomfortable. Can’t speak to guest room because we avoided it due to mold. This is not a well-curated rental. View it as a place to sleep close enough to Portland proper with a water view. View out back yard and kitchen full of pots are positives. But learn from our mistake. You’ve been warned.

Great home and location.

The backyard deck overlooking the water is the most beautiful place to be. The location and freeway access made this an easy base for us to explore the area.

Mark was an amazing host and offered a quick 15 min call prior to our stay to share some details about the house, and his favorite restaurant recs. The view of the water from the deck is amazing. The house was cozy yet spacious and felt like home. I loved his personal style. We were visiting family in Cousins most of the stay but I hope to book for a week (or longer!) next time to fully appreciate the house, deck and everything Portland has to offer. Thanks again, Mark!!
