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.

The property is great! I felt the location was perfect....gave us the feeling privacy but was also located within a few minutes drive to anything we needed or wanted to do.

We loved this secluded home. It was only a 10 minute drive from the Scarborough Fish & Game club where we competed in the Maine State Sporting Clays shoot. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We liked it and booked to go back in September!

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!

Very Clean, Great Central Location

Very clean & tidy, appliances & all in good condition. Lots of the little things you need in the kitchen were present, unlike many rentals. Overall very good place to stay. We were day-tripping and this is an excellent location for that purpose. Very good value, and all-in-all a pleasant and hassle-free experience.

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!

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.

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.

A very pleasant stay

We stayed there for a family wedding party in Scarborough about 10 minutes from the property. Everything was clean. The amenities were great. We had to do a little cooking and the dishes, pots and pans were ample. Nice bedrooms and nice bathrooms. Two of the beds were pretty soft but just fine for kids. The master bedroom had a nice firm mattress which is what I prefer. A quick text to let Zach know I arrived and he gave me a code to get in. Close to most everything. I would stay here again.
