Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Deborah. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the great location, nice amenities, and spaciousness of the home—it’s wonderful to know it served its purpose for your stay. We also appreciate you letting us know about the challenges you experienced with the paid parking, the locked air conditioning thermostat, and the broken ice machine. We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused. To clarify, there is one parking spot available in the driveway on the left side of the home. If that spot is unavailable, there is a $40/night parking garage nearby at the corner of Cumberland Ave and High Street. Please avoid parking on the right side of the home. If you arrive and the driveway spot is taken, we recommend using the nearby parking garage. Regarding the AC thermostat and ice machine, we have forwarded your concerns to our local team so they can address these matters promptly. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider staying with us again. We’d love the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience next time.

The house was clean and the area is very walkable to local coffee shops, stores and tourist attractions. The parking situation needs improvement. There is one spot for the whole place and it is first come first serve. There is parking available in a garage down the street. Other guest came to our door late at night asking to move up since we “share” the space. When we voiced our confusion to the host; nothing helpful was given in response.

This was a nice old house. Very Clean and had everythign we needed. Arrival- We arrived at night and struggled a little bit with the lack of light and unconfirmed parking. The Vacasa Customer Service was very helpful when we had to call to get the outside door code. There is a spot on the left side of the house as mentioned on the ad. However, there was already a car there and didn't want to block it in. We did park off to the side of it near the porch which was doable due to our small car. Overall- nice older house with lots of personality and close enough to walk to the downtown and wharf areas.

This home was very clea, well appointed, and comfortable. The mattresses were just right. The neighborhood is quiet at night and within walking distance of all Portland's attractions.

Bright, spacious home in a great location

After a bit of confusion getting into the house, we found a nice, very well lit, spacious home with lots of windows. The beds were pretty comfy. The location was great, easy walk to the state theater, easy to walk to lots of cool bars and restaurants. The harbor and that touristy area were about 20 to 25 minute walk away, which was lovely in the nice weather. Overall, it Served well, for four people wanting to explore Portland.

The location was good, although on a busy street. The entry was dilapidated with dead potted plants, and trash. Kitchen not well stocked with cooking supplies. Parking spot not guaranteed. Seems to be under construction/remodel. Dishwasher and freezer did not work.

Meh

It was mostly fine. A good location with easy walkable access to downtown. Furnishings were cute but minimal essentials— the dishwasher was broken, the sofa bed was broken, construction equipment scattered about so backyard was unusable, towels smelled like smoke, and only 2 rolls of TP for stay. The outside door code was only shared once during the initial booking, and we needed to contact customer service to figure out how to get in. Overall, if you only want to sleep in the beds and get to downtown quickly, it works. Cooking, hanging out, etc would be less easily accommodated.

Very cute interior, walkable to Old Portland

The house is VERY cute, beautiful colors, two big beds in the two very big bedrooms. It had a nice living room with a dining table in there, by the windows (there are LOTS of windows in this home) and the kitchen had everything we needed. We had access to the backyard, which was great for the kids. The locks/keys/codes were easy to use. Sometimes there was someone parked in our parking space, and since there's no street parking right there, that was really inconvenient, but they were nice and moved their car when we could find them. There is a Trader Joe's super close with a great parking lot. The home was very cute and light and bright. We liked it much better than staying in a hotel in the town. We almost opted for a hotel to have a view of the water, but they don't have good views, so we are glad we chose Cumberland A!

Holiday stay with a few bumps

The location was clean and relatively quiet for its location on a busy street. A few things were broken (disposal, roll-out bed frame that would not lie flat) or unusable (dishwasher power stopped two minutes into the wash cycle). With the holiday weekend they were not fixed in a timely fashion. The layout of the place with the one bathroom door un-openable was awkward whenever people had to climb over the person sleeping in the living room. Would not recommend this location for a group that needs more than two functional beds, but it would be okay for two couples or a couple with a young child. Hosts were responsive to requests but it must have been tough to try to figure out repairs over a holiday.

Read carefully on each page

This property was listed as having parking for 3 on one page and then on another it was parking first come first serve. We didn't have parking most of our stay. The codes were wrong to the locks, we were stock outside for 30 minutes. The owner drove up and yelled at us for parking in the wrong place... Property was clean, fresh, but not worth the aggrevation of parking and noise from construction that seems to be ongoing there. I was told I was going to get a discount after complaining so much about the parking and never recieved the refund. I should just stick w/ hotels. Lesson learned!

Lisa, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you thought our home was clean and fresh but are disheartened you encountered issues that kept you from enjoying your stay. Our notes indicate that it was relayed that three parking places are available for free, but not all of them are on-site. Booking and check-in emails sent also specify that additional parking will be off-site and parking in the main driveway is on a first-come/first-served basis. We regret the frustration this caused your party and hope that the compensation you received and the parking pass for a nearby parking garage provided courtesy of the homeowner helped alleviate your frustration. Additionally, we apologize for any inconvenience experienced when entering the home and if getting through to Guest Services took time. Our team has ensured the interior door Vacasa smart lock is in excellent working order. Also, there are backup keys available should the longer 9-digit code time out. We hope you will allow us the chance to provide you with a truly exceptional vacation experience in the future.

Not recommend

It is not as close to walking to eateries. There isn't a book to give detailed info of the area, or phone numbers. We had 1 bath towel, 4 wash cloths, 1 hand towel for 4 adults. We had to call and wait, which we eventually received. The living room rug was in need of a good cleaning. We moved a rug and you could tell it hadn't been vacuumed good in a long time. Trash had piled up from others by trash can that was full too. Backyard had construction equipment and inside the house too. Apt. B ladies had trouble opening lockbox and we helped them. Never was able to open their lockbox. We were able to help to know how to lock door without key. Know it's an old house and needs work. We love old homes but clean, well kept ones. Overall, would not recommend this.

YOU WILL PAY 40/NIGHT FOR PARKING

Vacasa is a TERRIBLE company. This is now officially the third time we've been burned by them. When we agreed to renting the property, only then did we realize we were working with Vacasa. One day before check in, we received an email from Vacasa stating if the designated parking spot was not available then to park in the 40/night parking garage down the street. WHAT. No matter how cute and clean this apartment was.... This ruined it all. I spent an hour fighting Vacasa with a VRBO rep on conference call. The Vacasa rep was rude, hostile and straight up gas lighting. When she finally referred me to her MANAGER, did I actually get somewhere. I was promised reimbursements for the parking fees by the time I was done with the hour long call. But shocker, NO REIMBURSEMENTS have been made. Extremely disappointed and not sure where to go from here.The apartment itself was really cute. Two bedrooms, one bath. Very nicely furnished, super clean and within walking distance to Congress St. I wish we didn't have to deal with the parking issue, because this would have been a five star review otherwise. Renters beware.

Nice space, but outweighed by safety concerns

The property itself is located in a great location that allows for walking distance commutes to some good food and sites. If nothing else was wrong I would have given this place 5 stars. However, upon our initial check in we experienced some safety concerns that I'll detail below. My group entered the residence around 6PM, past the standard 4PM check-in listed and well after the free early check in that was texted to me at 12:25 PM that day. However, once we walked into the residence it was clear someone was still staying there in one of the bedrooms because there was a sleeping bag on the bed, shorts on the ground, and laptop on the side table. We immediately got in contact with Vacasa who said they would look into the issue. We went out the rest of the night and communicated with Vacasa through phone calls and texts. At 7 PM I was notified that "the owner may have had a few things left at the property" but that I was "ok to enter and stay". It was unclear if any additional cleaning had been done to the room so we ended up having to switch the bedsheets out ourselves and just hope for the best. On top of this, later in our stay we realized that the spare key to our stay was right above the door frame and not very well hidden, meaning that if anyone just broke into the porch door they could have easily accessed our stuff. I'm not one to write negative reviews but I was so disappointed in the lack of professionalism and safety concerns displayed by the owner/management.
