Our group of 8 family members (adults) all agreed this was one of the best properties we’ve stayed at for our annual family reunion! Fast & easy communication helped tremendously with the questions and issues we came up with. The hot tub, 3 full bathrooms, easy access to downtown Portland, comfortable beds and bedding, were all essential features for our stay. We’d love to return in the future!!

Awesome spot for a large group with kids

A very comfortable place to stay with 7 adults and 2 babies. Kitchens well equipped and lots of space to spread out. We loved the hot tub and watching the 4th of July fireworks from our front yard. 30-min walk to Mackworth Island which we enjoyed.

Great house for a girl's weekend!

This was a great house for our annual girl's weekend. The three floors gave us room to spread out and also large and comfy spaces to come together as a group of 10. Kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to make meals and clean up easily. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely appointed and clean. Hot tub was a nice extra. House is on a main street but noise was minimal and nice views of the water on both sides of the house. We used uber to get back and forth to Portland and that worked well. We loved Portland, had a lot to offer for shopping, holiday events, and great food! Host was easy and helpful and great communication all along the way.

Perfect for multiple small families

We rented this entire home for 4 small families to use, and it was absolutely perfect, with multiple areas to lounge. Both kitchens are very well equipped; beds are very comfortable; and the hot tub was lovely after a long day of hiking (or shopping, for some of us.) Proximity to major highways made it easy for us to get to Portland and Freeport. The morning view out onto the bay was magical. We would love to stay at this property again. 10/10!

About the host

Hosted by Meghan Phillips

Host profile image
I moved to Maine from New York 15 years ago. I love Maine and am happy to have an opportunity to share this special place with my guests.

Why they chose this property

My house is located at the junction of the Presumpscot River and Casco Bay. There are water views from nearly every room. It is a quick trip (5 minutes/2 miles) into the Old Port area of Portland. There are also great places just down the street -- ice cream, a juice bar, etc.-- an easy walk from the house.

What makes this property unique

My house has a lot of character. It is a craftsman home built over 100 years ago with many original details intact. There is a lot of room for guests to spread out in the multiple common areas, including the fenced patio and hot tub.
