We enjoyed a wonderful 3 nights. The two bedrooms are adjacent (it's necessary to walk through one to reach the other), but Kathi made sure that we were aware of this before we booked it, and she was very helpful when I had difficulty connecting to the Spectrum app, guiding me though the process. The nice neighborhood is very convenient to shops, restaurants and doggie daycare. I recommend it!

This was a perfect spot for our trip. The proximity to downtown was ideal - just a short drive - and the house was in a quiet neighborhood. There is a park nearby with walking/running trails along the water, tennis courts, playground and even cornhole. The house was comfortable and met all our needs. Kathi was fast to respond and pleasant. Thank you for a great spot for our trip!

I reached out to ask Kathi a question before booking and she was very helpful and quick to respond. Lovely, cozy house in an adorable, quiet neighborhood just under 10 minutes to Old Port. Check in instructions were very clear and provided in ample time before arrival. Overall a lovely stay, would consider staying again next time we’re in the area.

Cute, cozy house

Cute house, well equipped, pet friendly and in a perfect location for us. The only downside is the lack of privacy between bedrooms and a lack of window coverings since it is close to the street and neighbors.

Overall comfortable and clean house for a short stay. Owner was very communicative and contacted us to warn of stairs. Didn't have all the amenities sometimes seen with short-term rentals but was not a huge drawback for us. Definitely located in a cute and quiet neighborhood.

Communicative & flexible host

We stayed here twice (before and after a stint in Acadia) and I did write another review but wanted to add that when our plans changed slightly, Kathi went out of her way to accommodate a last minute change, which she did not have to do. We really appreciated that!

The location was great, it was clean and well stocked. Kathi was communicative. Everything was smooth and easy! My only small complaints are the lack of window covering/privacy in the bedrooms, the beds are pretty hard and the bedrooms were more of a bedroom and a loft than 2 private bedrooms (which worked fine for us, but I can see it being a problem for others).

Quiet Spot

The host was easy to work with through our stay. Highlights are, it's a good overall spacious property, a nice backyard for our dog and good value for the price. Suggestions- bed sheets and pillow cases would have been nicer if they had been new. Not having any window coverings in the bathroom or the bedroom was odd.

Could use privacy blinds. Could use more trash cans ( bathroom ). Laundry area was dangerous with very low ceiling. Other than that it was very cozy and we had a great time.

This is a great little VRBO just away from the main part of Portland. It’s clean, comfortable and has everything you need. A few people commented on the lack of window shades. Yes, they would be nice but it wasn’t horrible. If you have mobility issues the upstairs and basement might present challenges However it is a super cute place and I’d stay there again!

The house was a good size for us (2 adults, 2 dogs) and in a very nice location. Good area for walking with dogs and family and easy to get to downtown as well as highways. We came during a heat wave, so the lack of central air was difficult and we stayed very close to the fans and in-room AC units. The information provided by the owner for check-in and check-out was easy to follow. The house is older and tighter than what we are used to, but clean. Top step on the back deck was loose, so we didn't use those steps during our stay. The house needs window coverings; there were none in the bedrooms or front windows of the house.

Christine, I'm so sorry we did not realize the top step off the deck was loose we made sure that was taken care of right away...we are looking into ordering blinds.
