First, Obie and Beth couldn’t have been nicer hosts. They are friendly and want to get you know you and share their knowledge of the area. The apartment is so nicely done, comfortable and it has everything you need. The gift card for morning buns was such a sweet gesture. You can’t go wrong staying at their place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was beautiful and in a great location. Beth and Opie were wonderful hosts. The bakery gift card, fresh flowers candy, milk and juice were an unexpected bonus and very much appreciated. Whenever we return to Portland we would love to stay again.

We loved our brief stay in Portland. Beth answered all our questions, gave us recommendations for restaurants, walks, transportation, and so much more. She truly exemplifies a great VRBO host. The apartment is cozy, yet spacious. Beth and Obie provided, milk, oj, coffee, bedtime chocolates. Wonderfully equipped kitchen, comfy bed, plenty of towels. In other words, perfect in every way.

You know how sometimes pictures look better than reality, well not here. Reality and pictures are equally nice. So central for getting around the greater Portland area. Baxter blvd. is a great place to walk and right outside your door. Beth is the best host I’ve ever had. Easy and fast communication. I’d so rather deal with the home owner than a agency.

My husband and I stayed here while visiting Portland for the first time. It is in a great location, close to the airport and Old Port and in an adorable neighborhood. Beth and Obie have landscaped and decorated their home absolutely lovely. Parking in Portland is expensive and hard to find so we also appreciated the parking spot in front and mostly took Ubers where we wanted to go. Some things we loved about the place were the very comfortable king size bed, the large shower, the view of Back Cove, and the natural light and coziness of the living area. We really appreciated the bakery gift card, milk and OJ in the fridge when we arrived as well as the bag of ice in the freezer (there is no ice maker) and the beach chairs in the front closet which we used! There were a couple things we think would make the place even better. Basic kitchen supplies are present but we did miss wine/champagne glasses, some basic spices (only a small salt and pepper are present), a pizza cutter, wire whisk, and tongs. The apartment is in a basement and is a bit damp and musty smelling but would likely benefit greatly from a dehumidifier. The washer/dryer combo unit and TV were a challenge for us to figure out (maybe just us). All in all, it was a great stay and we had a lot of fun!

The owners have done everything possible to ensure a great stay! The furnishings are gorgeous and the unit feels spacious and also cozy. From small touches like milk and juice in the fridge to more meaningful aspects like a well lit bathroom and ample storage space, this truly is a wonderful VRBO. The location is also perfect - we loved the water view and also being able to walk out the door to a perfect running trail. Thank you so much!

My husband and I stayed for four nights in July and wish we would’ve booked a month longer. Place is exactly as photos show: cute decor, well stocked, clean, bay view, great location and THE most helpful hosts. Staying here was an excellent decision.

This was our first visit to Portland and we couldn't have chosen a more comfortable place to stay. Beth and Obie were the quintessential hosts: kind, welcoming, professional, and communicative. They love Portland and went above and beyond to ensure that our vacation was enjoyable, even leaving us a gift card for two Morning Buns at the Standard Baking Company! Their apartment was located just outside the city center in a quiet neighborhood within a 5-10 minute walk of coffee shops and restaurants, and a 5-minute drive to the Hannaford Supermarket. Having safe, off-street parking was a unique perk, as was the ability to relax outside on the patio with a view of Back Bay. The apartment was spacious with lots of attention to essential details, such as a fully-equipped kitchen, well-appointed bathroom, state-of-the-art appliances, and beautiful gas fireplace as a focal point. While the Old Port was only a 10-minute drive away, we were grateful to leave the hectic downtown for a place where we could truly rest after the day's adventures. While this may have been our first trip to Portland, it certainly won't be our last and we look forward to staying with Beth and Obie on a return visit!

This was our first VRBO experience for my husband and myself! The location was ideal for us and we walked on the path daily that was a stone's throw from this beautiful apartment. The weather was not in our favor during our stay however, we were happy to stay following a full day during the evenings and enjoy the environment while reading or catching a movie in this well appointed apartment. The pictures and reality match all you need to do is think about the comfort that comes with a dream mattress and a living room where lounging is inviting. We were so glad we were not in a one room hotel. Beth and Obie, our hosts were so amazing from the day we booked to when we pulled out of the driveway. They were gracious, welcoming, extremely responsive and even texted us great ideas 1st thing in the morning when the forecast indicated RAIN all day. I would have wanted to get to know them a bit more however both of us were bit under the weather during our stay as well. The added touches throughout the apartment are almost too many to mention let alone having a few things in the refrigerator for us to enjoy too. We both highly recommend your staying here and the only downside is that you will be spoiled with highest standards for future VRBO stays. Thank you Beth and Obie. Take the very best of care!

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is spacious and gorgeous and has everything you need. Much more comfortable than a hotel. Nice views of Back Cove with the trail just steps away and private outdoor seating area. Really pleasant neighborhood and downtown is just a few minutes away. The hosts are super nice people and easy to get in touch with. I hope we can come back for another visit. We definitely recommend this property!! Thank you.

Spectacular location, views, accommodations, and hosts! Easy in and out, right on the back cove trail. Little extras were noticed and appreciated. Hope to come back!

Very Comfortable place. We loved the view to Back Cove from the living room and kitchen. It was just across the street from the trail that you could walk several miles on. The king size bed was very comfortable and the shower was wonderful. Also, just a couple minutes drive to Old Port!
We were in town visiting my mother-in-law who uses a walker and wheelchair for mobility and it was easily assessible for her.
Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this apartment to couples visiting Portland.

The property was top notch - we were absolutely delighted with our stay. The location is fantastic - step out the door to a morning walk around the cove or take a short drive to the piers and the many restaurants. The accommodations at the apartment were terrific. We were pleasantly surprised with how roomy the space felt. Excellent interior design with many thoughtful details - we really felt ‘right at home’. Comfy bed afforded a great nights sleep. We hope to stay again next time we visit Portland!

The online pictures just can't show how wonderful this place is. The views from the patio doors of the beautiful sun rises were stunning, the veiws at night of the water and city lights were so lovely as I sat looking at the fire in fire place and then at the lights. I walked easily around the back cove to downtown. The hosts are wonderful and welcoming with all the speacil touches, fresh flowers, milk from a local dairy farm, gift cards for morning buns from a local dairy, and an impressive list of many things to do in the area. Portland is beautiful and a great place to visit anytime of year. Enjoy the full experience at this retreat in the city.

This is a perfect apartment in a nice quiet, safe location. It’s a short trip down to the wharf and the walking trail is just outside the door. Super comfortable surroundings and check in and out was a piece of cake.

Everything about the property and the process was perfect. The place is beautiful, extremely comfortable and has everything needed for a perfect stay. Luxury hotel level amenities and decor, but much bigger and more comfortable than a hotel. Beth and Obie are both delightful, the perfect hosts and the communication was excellent and always helpful. We loved everything about our stay and will highly recommend this place - not to mention that we will ourselves be back!

This apartment was in a wonderful location. We enjoyed being able to step out the door and walk along the Back Cove Trail into the Old Port. This was the nicest rental I have ever been in and had so many small details/touches such as notes about where things were, milk/orange juice in the fridge, and a gift card to Standard Baking Co! The bed was very comfortable and everything is so updated (exactly as shown in the pictures). We look forward to coming back!

This Back Cove property is truly outstanding. The apartment is beautifully designed, furnished and equipped. It is in a wonderful location. And the host is most responsive and informative. We had a wonderful time, and we will be back!

This is a lovely, well located property in Portland right off the Back Cove trail. This made it very easy to bike or walk in a pretty setting away from the bustle of the city. Since there is major construction going on there, the path is not as pleasant as it otherwise would be. But that didn’t prevent us from using it.
Beth and Obie were so nice and welcoming, offering us suggestions for dinner or answering any questions we had.
We would definitely recommend the apartment to friends and would stay there again if staying in Portland.
