Excellent apartment near Back Cove
We had a delightful stay in Beth’s super clean and well setup apartment. It was located just a block from Back Cove providing good walking opportunities. It is about 2 miles from downtown Portland, but we didn’t have any problems driving in and parking for everything we wanted to do. Kitchen is well equipped. Comfortable living room seating. King bed was great. If I had to search for a negative, did not love the washer dryer combo. Everything else was perfect.

The place was impeccable. That coming from a neat freak. So many thoughtful gestures from fresh milk and OJ to blankets and shampoo and conditioner. Every possible need taken care of. Beth was lovely to met and offered suggestions. The gift card to stand baking company was just above and beyond. We will be back

This place is a gem. So well appointed, comfy bed. Beth was a delight to deal with; communication was open and easy. Everything we wanted and needed was no more than an eight minute drive. Water views were an added bonus! Will definitely stay here again when it's just the two of us.

Portland First Timers
This apartment was immaculately clean and comfortable. The location was convenient to so many attractions. The landscaping was beautiful, as was the view of the water from the living room. The extras which Beth provided—breakfast drinks, a gift card to a bakery, and lots of little notes around the apartment—were much appreciated, as was the long list of recommendations from previous visitors. We could not have made a better choice of where to stay.

Amazing property
We loved our time in Portland, Maine. This property was perfect for us. We rented a car for the week and this location and the parking spot was perfect. Beth really cares about her guests and made everything easy with all of her little notes and the check in and check out was a breeze. I chose this property based on the reviews and they were all correct. We loved it...

Stop over on our way North
We needed a comfortable place to stop on a long drive to Canada. The place was very comfortable and the owner communicated in very clear and helpful ways. I needed an extra half hour at check out due to a work commitment. She was accommodating, WiFi worked great and I was able to engage without worry. Will definitely seek to stay again as 1 1/2 days in Portland wasn’t quite enough to truly enjoy the area.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful and the hosts were very accommodating. They always made sure we had everything we needed. We could not have asked for a more comfortable stay in such a beautiful neighborhood. If we travel that way in the future, we will definitely try to stay again. Thank you.

Super cute Portland property
First, Obie and Beth couldn’t have been nicer hosts. They are friendly and want to get you know you and share their knowledge of the area. The apartment is so nicely done, comfortable and it has everything you need. The gift card for morning buns was such a sweet gesture. You can’t go wrong staying at their place.

Great neighborhood
You know how sometimes pictures look better than reality, well not here. Reality and pictures are equally nice. So central for getting around the greater Portland area. Baxter blvd. is a great place to walk and right outside your door. Beth is the best host I’ve ever had. Easy and fast communication. I’d so rather deal with the home owner than a agency.

We loved our brief stay in Portland. Beth answered all our questions, gave us recommendations for restaurants, walks, transportation, and so much more. She truly exemplifies a great VRBO host. The apartment is cozy, yet spacious. Beth and Obie provided, milk, oj, coffee, bedtime chocolates. Wonderfully equipped kitchen, comfy bed, plenty of towels. In other words, perfect in every way.

Cute basement apartment in a great location
My husband and I stayed here while visiting Portland for the first time. It is in a great location, close to the airport and Old Port and in an adorable neighborhood. Beth and Obie have landscaped and decorated their home absolutely lovely. Parking in Portland is expensive and hard to find so we also appreciated the parking spot in front and mostly took Ubers where we wanted to go. Some things we loved about the place were the very comfortable king size bed, the large shower, the view of Back Cove, and the natural light and coziness of the living area. We really appreciated the bakery gift card, milk and OJ in the fridge when we arrived as well as the bag of ice in the freezer (there is no ice maker) and the beach chairs in the front closet which we used! There were a couple things we think would make the place even better. Basic kitchen supplies are present but we did miss wine/champagne glasses, some basic spices (only a small salt and pepper are present), a pizza cutter, wire whisk, and tongs. The apartment is in a basement and is a bit damp and musty smelling but would likely benefit greatly from a dehumidifier. The washer/dryer combo unit and TV were a challenge for us to figure out (maybe just us). All in all, it was a great stay and we had a lot of fun!
