What a wonderful spot, could walk to everywhere in Freeport. Hosts were also fantastic to work with, and provided some flexibility that really helped us out. Nothing but great things to say about The Nest!
The Nest was exactly as described - cozy, clean and walkable to everything in Freeport. Erica and Doug were very communicative and even had it ready early on check in day for us. We appreciated all of the local tips they gave us for things to do and see too. We look forward to going back to Maine and would stay at the Nest again. My husband, son and I all enjoyed our time here relaxing and unwinding after sightseeing all day.
This place was perfect for a couple. Really nice and quiet 1 bedroom apartment with all the amenities of home-away-from-home. We loved Freeport and it was very centrally located for all our Maine activities like visiting family in both Bangor and Camden, as well as day-tripping to Portland and points south. Downtown Freeport was an easy walk as well. Loved it and would come again.
This is the best VRBO we have stayed in. The location is awesome, it is extremely spacious, clean and tidy. The owners are the nicest kindest people. Will definitely come back.
Very cute property with everything we needed - nice kitchen, comfortable couch, pretty bedroom with comfortable bed, very clean bathroom with a good shower. Nicely decorated - a pleasure to stay there.
The Nest is a great place to stay and the location could not be better for some shopping in Freeport. The place is very clean and has everything you would need for a getaway. The hosts were very gracious and we will definitely be back.

Thank you Courtney, we would love to have you back anytime.
As was last year perfect spot to visit Freeport. Walk to Downtown and avoid the traffic. My honey biked in a sponsored event and visited his beloved LL Bean. I antiqued and thrifted. Dinner at the Dolphin Marina and Tuscan Grill. Accommodations were great. I am sure we will b back.
We had a great stay in Freeport at The Nest. The hosts were attentive and very pleasant to chat with during our checkin. Perfect location for shopping, dining and hiking in the Freeport area. The decor is lovely and the apartment exceptionally clean and tidy. We will definitely book again when visiting the area.
Booked this property for a weekend in Freeport. The space was amazing and located right on the main road within walking distance to everything! Definitely will be back!
The Nest was wonderful. It is within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and pubs. The Nest offers a back yard seculision feel with beautifuly place flowers and a shaded bench. We highly recommend staying here.
My family just adored this spot! We were in Freeport for two nights and found The Nest incredibly clean. It's newly renovated, has a comfortable queen bed and a perfect trundle bed as well. It is in an ideal location to walk right to town. Our kids are already begging to return again next summer for another stay. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This is our second time staying in this rental and it was exceptional. The rental is well outfitted with everything you need while away from home. It is also in a great location; you are a 3 minute walk from LL Bean with off-street parking.

About the host
Hosted by Erica
We are local to the area and happy to help you make this vacation one to remember. There is so much to do and discover in our area from booking a deep sea fishing charter, road and mountain biking, hiking, skiing, to visiting lighthouses, beaches, shopping, museums, and site seeing from oceans to the mountains.
Why they chose this property
This upstairs apartment has been a labor of love for us. In addition to the close proximity to Portland, the ocean and the mountains you are just steps away from premium outlet shopping, restaurants and the home of LLBean! Recently renovated, care was taken to leave high ceilings and open historic beams. Efficient heat pumps in each room keep you cozy during summer and winter months with adjustable heat and air-conditioning at the touch of a remote.
What makes this property unique
The Freeport Downeaster train station and The Breeze bus route to Portland are easily walk able from the apartment. Please let us know if we can help direct you with public transportation.
