Maine Vacation

Sue and Barry were excellent hosts who own and manage a very comfortable and fully supplied vacation rental (they thought of everything) within walking distance to just about anywhere in the greater Portland area. Their restaurant and attraction recommendations were spot on and we enjoyed them all.

Our stay at Sue's property was exceptional. The neighborhood was perfect - walking distance from Tandem and several other Portland gems. Sue also provided recommendations for things we should do while in Portland (including taking the ferry to Peaks Island, which we loved!) I will definitely book Sue's property again during my next trip to Portland.

The property, location and amenities were great. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we could need. The apartment was within close proximity to restaurants, shops and the many fun activities in Portland. We were happy to have our own parking space. Easy and readily available communication with Sue and Barry if needed . I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Portland.

Absolutely amazing hospitality and location!!! Met upon arrival by the owner, was given the layout of the city and even received a gift for our 20th anniversary!! Centrally located to everything, we were able to walk most everywhere in Portland. The house was gorgeous, lots of room and the back deck was key to relaxing after our long days. Parking across the street and a great neighborhood for deep sleep at night. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an awesome location at a beautiful property with those little touches from the owners that make it extra special!!!
