Freeport Village Sunny Studio
We enjoyed our stay in the studio in Freeport. It was perfect for our needs, as we needed a place to stop for one night. It was incredibly clean, bright, with alot of natural light during the day. The bed was very comfortable! It was a short walk to the outlets, LL Bean, and nice restaurants and coffee shops. We would stay here again when visiting Freeport!

We welcome Canadian guests with 20 % off
This place is absolutely wonderful. Kathleen and John truly go above and beyond to make sure all of your needs are met and you feel right at home during your stay. We were greeted with warmth and comfort during our entire visit, and are already planning on staying with them again next time!

Garden Suite @ A Peaceful Oasis on Munjoy Hill
Ani’s garden oasis was adorable! It was just the right amount of space for us. It’s spacious and cozy. We enjoyed ourselves. We look forward to visiting again.

Private, spacious, colorful, fun & unique space
Your home was the perfect fit for me, my niece and great niece. It was nice to each have our own comfy bed on scent free sheets. We loved the funky, unique feel of the place and really enjoyed all the art work. We appreciated the snacks, coffee, tea and 1/2 n 1/2 provided. UNE was only one mile down the road which was really convenient. We enjoyed eating at Jewel of India and Coco’s Bar and Grill. Our favorite place in town was Elements where you can have a coffee, tea or beer while you browse the bookstore. Ian and Suzen were great hosts!! I would definitely book this space again!! UNE is still my great-niece’s 1st choice.

Glorious Converted 1865 Brunswick Barn in Town!
Nina’s place is exactly as pictured and described. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is extremely well equipped and the bathrooms are spotless. Nina and her husband live next-door but are very unobtrusive and welcoming. I spent five nights in their Airbnb and was extremely comfortable and happy.

Apartment w/kitchen on the Ocean!
What a delightful little cottage above the garage; a cottage with an unmatched ocean view. Tom was always responsive, while Nancy, who was on site, was warm and welcoming, like meeting an old friend. The location was tranquil, remote yet easily reachable by car, perfect for getting away from the crowd. I'll definitely put this one at the top of my coastal Maine list.

Awesome open space in Westbrook near Portland, ME!
Nice little ground floor apartment associated with the home with entrance that felt private (and parking spot). It was set off from the street so the unit was quiet. There is a minimalist kitchen for basic tasks (e.g., coffee preparation, toasting). We used this location as a jumping off point to Uber into Portland, which was perfect. Highlight was the very cute cat named Luna who visited us throughout our stay.

Bath Historic District Apartment
Aura’s apartment was just perfect! She is a very communicative and accommodating host. It was spotless, had everything that we needed and was a great location. Can’t wait to stay there again! Thanks!
Self-Contained Unit with a patio

Updated Studio Apartment
We very much enjoyed our stay at Clorinda and Dick's apartment. They were very welcoming and created a very comforting home environment. Highly recommend to anybody else looking to stay in the Portland area for a couple of days.

Quiet, Comfy & Spacious Studio & Private BA
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was close to Caswell farms which we were at for a wedding. Alison was so kind and helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed! Would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy In Law Suite Fully Equipped
We had a very relaxing stay at Carl & Rose's place. It was a very cozy space on a rainy fall weekend. Lots of fleece blankets, pillows and tea made us feel warm and welcome. The oversized reclining couch and 4-poster bed were super comfy. The height of the bed was a bit intimidating at first but quite luxurious once you sink into the soft supportive mattress. Great home base for exploring the beautiful scenery of Maine and nearby NH, especially with the leaves in full color.

Birch Point at Cushman Cove- Private/Entire Suite
Lovely cottage feel during my stay with the well appointed features, homely atmosphere and welcome treats! Great communications and help from the owners next door. Useful to have a few books in the evening and relax quietly. Really enjoyed my short break.

Heron's Hide-Away
Katherine’s place is in a quiet area with walkable roads for my dog and I. She has included lots of extras around the apartment: toiletries in the bathroom, snacks in the kitchen, a few drinks in the refrigerator. The atmosphere is welcoming and their dog, Sterling, is very sweet. Biddeford, Saco and Old Orchard Beach are fun places to explore. I would stay here again.

Rustic and cozy one bedroom
I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs and this is definitely one of the best! The unit has a large, full kitchen open to the living room, a comfortable bedroom, a very nice bathroom, and an outdoor patio overlooking a gorgeous backyard. The entire unit was pristine and decorated with quality furniture. A private entrance on a very beautiful property just seven minutes from Kennebunkport. The hosts were proactive in all communications and incredibly kind. I hope to come back!

Coastal Haven, 2 mins to beach, 2 bed 2 bath, UNE
Wonderful and was more spacious than the pictures. We stayed over Christmas and Karen went out of her way to add so W decorations for us. Highly recommend and will most likely go back.

Welcome to The Nest - 1 bed, deck w/bath & parking
Laura was very informative about the area. They allowed us to unhitch the boat before going to get dinner & let us charge our boat batteries. Even though it was away from home, we felt very at home! Plastic Silverware was a plus when Olive Garden didn't give us any in our togo order. Great comfortable place to stay! Definitely worth it! Thanks guys! -Katlin & Joe

Rustic knotty pine getaway
Dan is very friendly, great communication and eager to assist in what you might need. His place is cozy and easy to get to.

Large Studio, 1 mile from the beach
We enjoyed our stay here as it was close to many amenities. Nadine was proactive in all communications. Very clean, cozy, comfortable and up to date. Very quiet and we felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Nadine for blessing us with your space for 4 days.

Farmhouse By The Sea
This is our third time staying at the Farmhouse by the Sea and we loved it just as much as the other times. The living area is perfectly appointed with clean & comfortable furniture, a large table for games and puzzles, and a full kitchen with everything you need. You feel cared for with the little touches such as water bottles, throw blankets, and all the temperature and lighting options one could ever need. Plenty of channels on the TV too. The area is beautiful!! We spent a lot of time at Kettle Cove and the Lobster Shack at Two Lights. Also recommend Mainely Noods for ramen in Portland and C Salt gourmet market in Cape Elizabeth. Thank you to Karen & family for another great vacation!

Sanctuary in the City
Excellent instructions and directions. All information was clearly stated. Unit is the lower floor of beautiful house. Entry was via keypad to a door around the back. Place is very spacious and extremely clean. Highly recommended .

Rustic Rose Cottage of Historic West Lebanon
We loved our stay here! Such a sweet little attached cottage surrounded by trees. My husband loved all the warblers in the morning (at least 10 different species!). We appreciated how clean it was, especially the kitchen and bathroom areas. Would highly recommend! The hosts were both very kind and considerate.

Captain Cookie's sea cottage
Great for what we needed! Robert was responsive and helpful when I had questions. He gave clear instructions. The entire process and stay was simple and hassle free.

Ocean Views, work friendly
Tom's place was recommended by a third party and we are glad we took their advice. It was everything that was advertised. Easy access from South Portland to all the scenic surroundings, downtown and a wide selection of dining choices. We stayed for two nights and it was a peaceful, relaxing stay. Our trip was in October when the weather was starting to change, did I mention the vibrant colors of the trees, which was a nice change from the heat in Oklahoma.

Private guest suite in Back Cove
Easy place to be close enough to the city and an uber ride away. Walking distance to Back Cove which is very scenic with a walking path around. We were only at the Airbnb to sleep so it was perfect for us. The bed is a daybed which was very comfortable and the size was completely fine for 2 people.
