Wonderful Portland Waterfront Home

Very convenient location with great view and nice yard for our 13 yr old lab!Mark was a great host!

Great place to stay. I would rent again if we make a return trip to Portland

We were in Portland for a family celebration but we also wanted to be close to the Old Port. This house has beautiful water views and is a 5 minute drive to the Portland waterfront. The house is very clean and well maintained - the perfect size for two adult couples. The owner was also excellent in terms of communicating with us and trying to help us make the most out of our trip. The only thing I will point out is that with quaintness of an older New England home it also comes with some low ceilings, so watch your head. That said even at 6’-2” I’d gladly stay here again for everything it has to offer.

Good things first - great backyard view. And my son loved the pool table. Also the location. Close to everything. So it was very comfortable to drive everywhere and come back for a break and go back out again. Mark also stopped by to give us some ideas on what to do and he was accessible via text and call. Which I thought was a good thing. On to the things that can be improved - two bath as said in the property description is a joke. The bath in the master bath was so cramped. No headroom. And very small. Actually it's a moot point as that bath had a leak and so we didn't use it at all. The entire upstairs is a challenge for anyone over 5 ft tall. First night we kept bumping our heads and arms and legs everywhere. The beds were not comfortable and small and we left a day early because I couldn't handle another night of no sleeping and more backpain. We took our dog with us and per Mark there was a $100 additional fees. I didn't see any such thing while booking and Mark mentioned he waived it for us as the master bath wasn't working. That seemed like an after thought to me. Maybe I missed seeing that clause?? Also I am a neat freak. When I found that there were very old stuff in the refrigerator and freezer it put me off. And there wasn't any coffee or chilled bottle as promised in the property description. All in all it was a decent stay. Will I rebook this property again? Don't think so. If you just need a central location and a place to say and you don't care for the things I mentioned, go for it. It's definitely better than staying in one hotel room.
