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.

Delightful

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

Will Stay Again!

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.

Very Inviting VRBO

My wife and I came to Portland to escape the heat of Charlotte and have some fresh seafood. We were not disappointed! The apartment was sspacious and very well appointed. I read a previous review about the unit having a damp smell/feel but neither my wife nor I detected it. We did enjoy the waterview and the proximity to town. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked to cook. Overall, we had a great time and we appreciated meeting the host. Beth, Thank You for going above board to make our trip special. We had a great time.

Beth was an amazing host ~ thoughtful, friendly and responsive though we had no issues. Property was even more wonderful than the photos and her personal touches were so appreciated! The Back Cove was beautiful and quiet and yet close enough to the port area for activities and dining. Would highly recommend this property if you find yourself in the Portland, ME area!

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.
