Overall, it’s a good location. Nice park across the street, close to back cove. Easy to get to old port. Little things took away from our overall vrbo experience. Each little thing isn’t a big deal, but together it added up. The hair dryer is missing, add a bunch of towel hooks and hangers. Add more toilet paper and paper towels. A cabinet front likes to fall off. Add soap in the shower. Add a place to set up your suitcase or dressers etc. Downstairs shower drain is slow- you stand in water. Just some feedback. We loved Portland, and you have a good house- with great potential

Great place. With a family group we were looking for more room than what we found available in Portland. Very convenient, roomy, fantastic backyard on the cove, front yard on the park, and plenty of room for 5 family members.

My family and I had a wonderful experience staying in this home. The location is great, safe, nearby park, beautiful views from the house and backyard. The house is comfortable and clean with lots of space for everyone. Bathrooms and showers are a plus. Stayed for the weekend for a local wedding. Would highly recommend. Property owner is very responsive and helpful. No complaints!

Did a four night stay in Portland with another couple we are good friends with. Overall everything was fine. Ken, the host was initially hard to get a hold of pre check in but once we connected things were smooth. The best part about the house, by far, was the location. Just a 10 min drive into downtown Portland made it very easy for us. Also, we are runners and play pickle ball so the house was the perfect location for us with pickleball courts right across the park - 5 minute walk away. Out the back door, over the patio and across the street you have a beautiful 3.6 mile loop to run on. we loved doing that every morning. The house was generally as advertised but a little more heavily worn than we expected. The third bedroom in the basement we really couldn't use since it was very damp and musky. Smelled terrible and the shower in the basement bathroom needed a plumber to fix the drainage problem but Ken didnt get back to us on that so we all used the one shower upstairs which was fine. The house had everything else we needed. Wifi was solid and appliances all worked. Overall, probably would stay there again but now we have a really good sense of the area and loved being in Portland so will definitely be back to Maine again.

Lovely stay

We were there for a long weekend with 2 other couples. We spent a lot of time in town which was just a short Uber ride. The house had a few minor quirks that the host is addressing/upgrading. But it was very clean and comfortable . Behind the house was very pretty . A very quiet dead end street. The deck was lovely and private with a big open space behind the house and a view of the cove that had a great walking trail around it A very pleasant experience. We would stay there again.
