Wonderful home

This property is in a tranquil and relatively private location, all while being close to things to do. The hosts are wonderful and provided a nice binder with local recommendations and a beautiful floral arrangement. The Jones Family Farm goats milk soap smelled delicious and was a nice touch. It was a nice reprieve from the busy work-week and was such a lovely home!

We were so happy to stay here!! There were 5 adults and we were very comfortable. We found it spotless in every room. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you would need to stay. This is not a cottage it's a home.would recommend anyone going to the Scarborough area to stay here.

Cute house with a great layout in a country setting

This house was perfect for our stay. You can tell the hosts put a lot of time and effort into making this home welcoming. The location is convenient for dining and shopping while still feeling laidback and restful. The house itself has every amenity a person could need and then some. We appreciated the small ramp to the door and the bathroom fixtures that assisted with mobility. All of the people in my group loved this rental and would absolutely stay here again if we were visiting the area.

Scarborough, ME, June 2025

For our visit with family who live in Scarborough, the house was ideally located. It’s close enough to Portland and Saco to enjoy their attractions and close enough to Rt 95 to travel further afield. The house itself has a great view of a marsh and an enclosed porch to enjoy it from. It also has about everything you need if you plan to eat in. Everything about making arrangements to stay there was easy. We would stay there again.

Cozy, quiet, great stay!

Cottage was cozy and clean, perfect size for our family of 5 to spread out. Nice quiet location, close driving distance to so much. Great communication from property manager. Our favorite spot was the sunroom, we enjoyed watching for wildlife and playing card/board games. Will definitely recommend to friends and family! Thank you!

Coastal Maine Get-Away!

My sister and I took our 92 yr old mom on a mother/daughter trip to coastal Maine--we picked the perfect spot to stay! The home was located close to beaches, restaurants and attractions, yet was completely quiet, private and surrounded by nature. Although my mom is spry and active, it was nice to have everything on the ground floor and with a ramp to the front door. The kitchen was well equipped (so glad it had a Keurig coffee maker!) and having 2 bathrooms for the 3 bedrooms was a much appreciated plus!

Excellent property

This property is a central location for most activities. Everything is updated and exceptionally nice. The owner responds quickly, in fact I inquired as to which kind of coffee maker there was and it was the regular type and he responded again that he put a Keurig, as well. A very nice one, too. The yard was big enough for our grandson to play baseball. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking in that area for a nice place to stay.

TV & Water Issues

The tap water had a distinctive brown tinge to it for the first 3 days of our stay. As a result, we bought bottled water for drinking and cooking. Also, two of the three TVs did not work. The one with the combo DVD/VHS player wouldn’t play a new DVD. None of the 3 TVs were connected for broadcast TV. Luckily, I knew my Amazon Prime password, otherwise we would not have had any TV. However, other than those two nits, the rental was very nice, quiet, and well provisioned!

What a Great Stay!

We came up for the 2024 UNE Commencement in Portland and needed enough space for 5 adults and a few vehicles. Located just a little south of Portland, this was the perfect solution! I have to say, this property is a gem. The owners have done a fantastic job in appointing the home with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was modern and well equipped for any cooking needs. The living spaces were well furnished and inviting, and all three of the bedrooms were a joy to stay in. Lets not forget the warm and fun decorations/artwork around the house. The icing on the cake for me was how invited we all felt in staying at the house. Our contact for the home was beyond receptive for any questions we had and always responded in a timely manner. Major kudos there! We even had fresh flowers waiting in the kitchen for our arrival. Nice touch! We also enjoyed the privacy of the property - something you'll never get staying at an in-city house/condo or in a hotel. Nothing beats walking on the grass in the morning enjoying that first cup of coffee while looking out over an adjacent pasture. A peaceful way to kick things off before diving into a very full day of activities in the city. When back in the area, we will definitely book here again! Thanks to Zac for an incredibly wonderful stay and a weekend to remember. Cheers!

Home away from home

We rented this lovely home over Thanksgiving last year and were so delighted with everything it had to offer we decided to rent it this year for our Thanksgiving celebration. It's quiet, clean, well laid out and has a well stocked kitchen for cooking. It is located near local restaurants and beaches should one choose to venture out, The hosts are most gracious and communication was prompt. They even had wonderful personal touches-homemade soap in the bathrooms and fresh flowers on the table to great us when we entered. We would highly recommend this place and look forward to staying there again.
