Great stay. Alexa was a great host. Having garaged parking and the indoor pool/hot tub was perfect for our stay that coincided with a snow. Would definitely stay here again next winter.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and well-stocked and a quick drive to downtown Portland. The hot tub, pool and sauna were such a nice touch and so beautiful at night with the indoor string lights. Our dog especially loved the fenced in backyard and had a blast running around out there. We will definitely be staying here again!

This rental was everything and more. From the unbelievable responsiveness of the host and supportive communication, allowing us a late check out, but also the incredible amenities, this rental was beyond a 10/10 experience. The heated pool and hot tub on the glassed in sun porch was absolutely amazing. The fenced in yard was perfect for our little dog and the house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The host even allowed us to park in the garage. Can not say enough good things about this rental and my experience. Will absolutely book again!

The house is a great place to relax the pool and hot tub and sauna all were fantastic. Alex is a great hostess she messaged us a few times during our 8 night stay to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The pool and hot tub were professionally checked mid week to make sure everything was working and clean. It was really cold weather but the sunroom was warm and loved swimming in the morning.our two dogs loved the fenced in yard plenty of dogs in the neighborhood behind the fence there is a dog my dog’s loved the excitement. Lastly the beach is really close we walked our pups there a lot. Thanks Alexa for a great time

Awesome long weekend

Our group of 4 (plus 2 dogs) had a great summer weekend at Alexa’s house. We especially loved the backyard, the pool/hot tub/sauna, and AC inside! Pictures can’t quite do it justice. And then there’s so much to do in Scarborough and Portland. We’d happily return!

This house was absolutely amazing! I booked a last minute weekend getaway and was pleasantly surprised by my stay. Everything we needed was already at the house. There were board games and even bikes in the garage! Lots of extra blankets and towels. The shower already had shampoo and conditioner as well. We didn't get a chance to use the sauna but the hot tub and fitness pool were so relaxing! I've been to a lot of houses where the hot tub is usually outside but this hot tub/fitness pool combo was enclosed in an all window porch. At night, there are lights you can turn on in the hot tub which added a nice ambiance. The porch itself also had string lights which was a really nice touch. It was a truly relaxing experience :) On another note, Portland was only a 10-15 mins drive and we had a blast exploring the nightlife!

Rest and Relaxation

If you enjoy being within a residential neighborhood that is quiet, restful and plenty of places to go to within close proximity, "This is the Perfect Place". Shopping, various beaches and excellent restaurants are close by. If you enjoy the foodie areas of Portland, they are plentiful. The "Host" is remarkable. She goes out of her way in ensuring that you have a very comfortable stay. The ad that identifies the property is spot on. The sauna, pool and jacuzzi were very relaxing. The place is well stocked for basics needs. I was fortunate to spend my 72nd year b-day here for 4 days and enjoyed every minute of it. I have been to several VRBO locations in the past couple of years (Puerto Rico, NY, VT, Maine, Conn, etc.) and this place is the top of the list. Looking forward to returning soon. Enjoy!!!!!
