Our stay was great. Thank you so much. Even with the rain we had a good time. Great location. Definitly need to pay attention to the tile around the woodstove though!

The property grounds are quite lovely. The house is fully equipped in kitchen and there were sufficient linens for our group. It appears that the owners are continuing to work on the house because there are a few minor fixes that are still needed. EG, bedroom lacked proper door knob so wouldn’t stay closed. But overall, it was quite nice.

Clean,

Clean, tidy, nice place to stay. Beautiful outdoor fire pit and sitting area. Lot's of outdoor space. The layout of the 2nd floor is odd - the bathroom on the 2nd floor is in one of the bedrooms - with NO door (to the bathroom), so the other 2 bedrooms upstairs need to use the downstairs bathroom, unless they don't mind an audience. That was not apparent in the description. Also, the jacuzzi was basically a slightly oversized tub. Beyond that, we had a great stay.

Great experience

Overall we had a great stay at Meg & William’s home! They were very responsive hosts, and even though one amenity wasn’t as listed Meg went above and beyond to fix it. My recommendation would be to double check with them if you’re expecting a certain amenity. I also don’t feel it’s the best home for children under 4 due to the loose tile laid around the fire place/not really little kid proof. The backyard is amazing to hang out in, and it’s close to some really nice beaches. You can’t go wrong renting from people like Meg & William, they were great!

Great location, loved the yard and firepit and grill. The owner even left us supplies for smores. We did have to supply our own firewood. The kitchen table and area for dining was a tight fit for 6 people, but the back deck was more spacious. Just needs a table slightly larger for 6 to eat a meal. The upstairs bathroom only has a tub. No shower and there is no door separating the bedroom and bathroom. The downstairs bathroom has tub/shower. The bedding was very nice in all the bedrooms. Plenty of towels were supplied and there is a washer and dryer in the basement. The location of the home is perfect for getting to Portland and the beaches in Scarborough.

Schöne Aufenthalt

Wir hatten schöne Tage in dem Haus. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist toll, sehr kurze Wege zu verschiedenen Stränden und nach Portland. Großes Grundstück mit Feuerstelle und schöner Terrasse. Sehr zu empfehlen.
