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.

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!

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...
