First time visit to Maine
Excellent communication with Rob right from the start. He was so helpful in suggesting delightful restaurants in the area. He came immediately to help us with the Nespresso machine and replaced the RV when it wouldn’t work. The house itself was just as described.. Very clean and comfortable. The washer and dryer was great to have so we didn’t have to pack too much. Location was perfect for us exploring all up and down the coast of Maine.

A real gem in Coastal Maine
We had a wonderful stay at the Green Gables home in Wiscasset. The facilities were exactly as advertised. The central Wiscasset location provided ample opportunity for great walks and plenty of nearby great food. Wiscasset served well as a locus for exploring other Coastal Maine towns. We had several very insightful conversations with the host family. They were most helpful to us as we selected places to visit and explore. I would highly recommend this Vrbo rental to anyone interested in kicking around Coastal Maine from Portland to Belfast.

A comfortable home and welcoming host but some details need attention.
We appreciate Rob's help carrying our bags upstairs, moving the cable TV box to our place and his warm welcome. There were some nice furnishings and decorating in the apartment. The bed was very comfortable and the AC kept us cool. Most places we have stayed have a notebook or file folder with instructions/info about the place. There was no written information here, so we did not know what to do with recycling stuff. I couldn't find a dish washing tub nor a stopper for the drain in the sink. I ended up using a pot to wash the dishes in. The apartment was clean for the most part, but some red flags: big smear across the mirror over the bathroom sink, lots of grease on the control panel for the stove--it had clearly not been cleaned and not everything was dusted. I spilled coffee grounds in front of the microwave and pulled the microwave out to clean underneath. Big mistake: an old, gross spill under the microwave. One of the curtains in the bathroom was inside out. There was a tissue box container but no tissues. I hope I'm not being too persnickety and that this is information is helpful for our host!

Cute little spot if you can deal with the stairs
This is an adorable little apartment; small but serviceable for two people. It has a kitchen, washer and dryer, window A/C, and several stuffed chairs for lounging around when you're not out and about. Free parking is also provided. The proprietors, Rob and Sara, are lovely, and very helpful. The one caveat is that it's on the 2nd floor, with 16 somewhat steep stairs between you and the outside world. At our age (70) this was a challenge. Maybe for you, not so much!

Centrally located, perfect for small family
We really enjoyed our stay at Green Gables! My husband, two daughters and myself stayed for a week, and were in a great location to get to all local attractions in a timely manner. Having a kitchen and laundry facilities made things very convenient with little ones. It was extremely clean, no sign of bugs or critters. We were in a heat wave, and the window units were sufficient for keeping the apartment comfortable. Some activities we were able to do within 25 minute drive of Green Gables: coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (which was amazing for kids!!), the aquarium (a little disappointing, but fine for an hour and is not expensive), railway village (so fun!), whale and puffin watching out of Boothbay Harbor, Freeport outlets, and blueberry picking at fairwinds farms. We had a fabulous Maine vacation!! Thanks to terry and rob for being extremely communicative throughout the process, and for their recommendations.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Curran

Host profile image
We live just across the street from the property, and our kids and grandkids are often in town. We are never short of ideas for activities for all age groups, and we'd happy to point you in the right direction.

Why they chose this property

You won't see another property in Midcoast Maine from which you can walk to top-notch cafes and restaurants and a boat dock, all practically next-door. Sitting at the meeting point of two peninsulas, Wiscasset offers easy access to a variety of towns, including Bath and Damariscotta, and a range of beaches, including Pemaquid and Popham. The multi-colored blossoms of the garden flowers make the porch a magical place to sit.
