About this house rental
Located in South Portland, this lovely house for $717 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Our light-filled three story home is perched on a lovely, quiet corner of the historic West End residential neighborhood and is walking distance to all of Portland's finest. One of the rare properties right in town with a spacious back deck for meals al fresco, and a backyard big enough for kids to enjoy, the house is very well-appointed and roomy, perfect for families or a few friends traveling together. Three bedrooms (king, queen + twin, twin) and master bath on the third floor, and one bedroom (queen) and full bath on the second floor. It's a great hub from which to explore both the vibrant city life nearby, as well as all the natural glories of Southern Maine. Whether you want to plunge into Portland's world class culinary scene, catch the current show at The Portland Museum of Art, attend the latest event at Space Gallery, take the ferry to Peaks Island, picnic at Kettle Cove, bird watch at the Audubon, or hit the outlets in Freeport and Kittery, you'll find our home a comfortable home base to return to. We are willing to reduce our rate for stays of a month or longer.

Lovely townhome in West End, short, 10 minute walk to Tandem Bakery and on to downtown Portland. Location is excellent, on lovely street near impressive Victorian homes. This is a great area of Portland to stay in.

This historic home was a crowd-pleaser for my family of 5. There was plenty of space for privacy, it was gorgeously and thoughtfully decorated (lots of design inspiration acquired!), and the best part was the deck equipped with a grill, comfortable sofas, and an umbrella. It was fun to pick tomatoes from the vegetable garden with my 2-year old, and the flowers were lovely. The master bath design and wallpaper were just how I’d like to design a bath. It was fun having a new library of children’s books for a week too. The space was perfect for relaxing at home, and a short walk from all Portland has to offer. The hosts were warm and communicative and I would happily stay here again given the chance.

We loved staying in the midst of one of Portland’s historic areas in this charming and beautiful home. Had a wonderful time and location was convenient. Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. The neighborhood felt safe and was very quiet.

This beautiful house was home for our family (my husband and me; daughter, son-in-law, and two small children; and son) for a week. We had plenty of room and were very comfortable. Lovely garden out back, with bonus fresh vegetables and flowers! Walking distance to food shopping and a great coffee shop, as well as a weekly (Saturday) farmer's market. Only 15 minutes from the airport. Hosts were quick to respond to questions and easy to work with, and accommodated two changes we made with no problem.

This West End house helped create an amazing vacation in Portland. The house is very well appointed and it immediately felt like home. My sons and I really enjoyed the stay and will definitely return if we get the opportunity.

This charming and functional home was perfect for our family vacation. The spacious home had everything we needed, including a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and a gorgeous master bathroom. The outside deck and garden was a beautiful place to enjoy the Maine summer weather. The location was great, we walked to local restaurants and the Rosemont Bakery and Market and it is a short drive to Willard Beach. We look forward to going back!

From the get-go, Desi and Sean were super flexible about both check in (early) and the length of stay. I have been renting homes through a variety of services since 2003 and this sort of flexibility was a first. The house how-tos were clearly laid out on the VRBO website and in a binder on the kitchen counter. The guide listed lots and lots of information. There were also notes throughout the house referring to more instructions. These instructions were whimsical in nature and by no means -- don't do this--but more like if you want to enhance your time here please try it this way. The kitchen was equipped actually beyond measure. I cook and we had a our child's 22nd birthday "party of 7 " at the house. Initially we were going to host the event at my daughter's apartment a few blocks away but when I saw the kitchen and the patio space I then insisted that it be held at Thomas Street. Instead of cake, we had blueberry pie from Tandem! There are books everywhere so if the weather had not been so amenable I am sure we would have all cozied up to a nook and read the afternoon away. Every room is beautifully decorated, I have a house with all white walls but I loved all the color. The house was almost alive with happiness and warmth. Going to the Thomas Street house was like visiting a family member who was super cool and groovy. I actually don't have such a family member but now I know I can visit this house and pretend. My oldest daughter and niece thought the house wondrous and started speaking as if they lived there. The air conditioned bedrooms were comfy, well-appointed and cozy. The outside space reminded me of book that I read when I was young child called The Secret Garden. There was also a play space for children which looked so special but my youngest is 20 so we only admired the space. The house was more than we could have wished for and the owners were unusually communicative and helpful. As we shut the door behind us my husband uttered, "I would live here". Thank you again Desi and Sean for sharing your house.

The house was great for two families looking to stay together. Plenty of room to spread out, but also come together for meals or to hang out. Within close driving distance (1.5-2 miles) of restaurants, ice cream, shopping, kayaking, etc. There are a handful of restaurants and coffee places within walking distance, and we took advantage of one of them one evening. The house was clean, and host was very responsive. We appreciated the early check-in and easy check-in/out process. Parking was better than expected as we were able to park two cars on the street in front of house the entire time.
There is no ac on the first floor; fortunately the downstairs stayed fairly comfortable even when temps hit upper 80s. Window units on 2nd and 3rd levels keep the bedrooms cool. Be aware the mattresses on the two bunk beds are very thin. It was ok for our younger son, but not ideal for a longer stay with older kids. The owner did mention this might be a watch-out in advance, which I appreciated.
Overall a great house in safe, convenient location with a lot of charm. We had everything we needed for a fun trip to Portland!

This is a lovely house filled with light and color and all the welcome of a proper, comfortable family home, not just an anonymous rental. The owners were lovely to deal with and quick to get back to us on any questions we had while we were there as well as while we were booking, and left lots of useful recommendations and instructions at our arrival. Parking was never an issue, and the neighborhood leafy and peaceful yet still with enough local commerce (Tandem Bakery especially) when we did not feel like walking into downtown Portland (about a half hour level walk to the Old Port, though there's plenty on and around Congress Street closer to home). The Saturday farmers' market in Deering Park was a short walk away and well worth a visit- a great opportunity to meet the local growers and return home with armfuls of corn, tomatoes, peaches and blueberries. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, the beds were comfy (and we sure did need those cooling units during the heatwave), and the deck and garden outside the kitchen was a great place to have meals- I even loved the little nook at the end of the garden where I could take my coffee and still get a good wifi signal! Because there's so much personal stuff in the house I would hope that every guest would treat that with the appropriate respect- I think it's what makes the house feel so warm and alive.I have nothing but good things to say about our stay here, and we hope to return again, when it will feel like coming home! Thanks Desi and Sean xxx

This spacious, well-equipped home was an ideal base to discover Portland and the surrounding area. It is located in a friendly, but quiet and safe neighborhood yet still very close to many amenities, restaurants and other venues. We were able to walk or bike to just about everything. The home is very well furnished and, as avid cooks and reading enthusiasts, we enjoyed the kitchen, ample cooking/baking equipment, books and reading areas. Fantastic place for our family of 6 to enjoy our first vacation in Portland!
