Great host, quick to respond to questions. Nice, clean place with great views. Nicely located near downtown, easily walkable. Would recommend if visiting Portland.

Two-Story, Direct Ocean Views on Eastern Promenade
This spot was perfect for a weekend getaway! The Airbnb was clean with spacious accommodations. The apartment has an amazing view of the ocean. Adilah was great to work with! I would highly recommend this stay!

Beachside Penthouse Paradise on Old Orchard Beach
My family had a great a stay at this Air B&B! Peaceful, scenic, and clean. This was exactly what we were looking for and more.

Beautiful Kettle Cove Apt Steps to Beaches
Loved staying here! It's a very short walk to Kettle Cove State Park and Crescent Beach. Cape Elizabeth is a charming, quiet little town. If you're looking for a peaceful relaxing getaway spot, this is it. You'll feel right at home. Plus the hosts are very responsive and friendly. I'm already thinking about when I can return!

Marsh Views#3:Cozy/quiet spot on a preserve&river
Great clean place in Kennebunkport. Friendly, helpful and responsive host. Beautiful views of marshes with outdoor activities to enjoy! Will definitely stay here again!

Beekeeper's Cottage- Peaceful,Quiet - Ocean Front
Our stay at The Bee Keepers Cottage was amazing. The property met our needs perfectly and it was super cute and cozy. The host was very responsive and communicative. And for any star gazers out there, the sky on a clear night is mesmerizing.

Falmouth Waterfront Carriage House Apt
I have stayed at Anne’s place many times. Anne and her husband are always very nice and friendly. The apartment is spotless, comfortable and you can’t beat the location, just up the hill from charming Falmouth Town Landing and beach and an easy drive to downtown Portland.

Garden view near Bowdoin College

2 Acre Waterfront w/Canoes & Kayaks, Game Room
I love coming to Maine, and this was my first time staying at Rob's place—it was beautiful! Rob was more than accommodating and incredibly hospitable. The home is gorgeous, super clean, cozy, and very private. The game room was such a fun bonus! It was the perfect little getaway. Thank you so much, Rob, for everything! I will definitely be keeping this place in mind for future visits!

Stunning & Spacious 6BR Waterfront House + Hot Tub
Meghan's home was a perfect place to stay for my sister's Bachelorette weekend! The home is located in a quiet community with views of the river and bay, and it was conveniently located with just a short drive into the heart of Portland. We found our stay extremely comfortable, especially on such a cold and dreary April weekend. Meghan had the hottub ready for us with matching robes for all which was a fun surprise. Check in and check out were a breeze. We even took a breakfast recommendation from the guest book (Forage Market, yum!), a tasty experience indeed. Thanks again, Meghan!

The Sunrise House
The location was really beautiful. A lovely spot for a weekend on the lake. Even in bad weather, the aesthetics of the cabin brought peace and the multi-season porch let us feel outside even if the rain slowed down some of our activities. Stephanie had excellent communication the whole time, and really prompt answers when we asked questions during the trip. The linens were fresh, counters were pristine, and the space was very organized. The house was well-stocked with basics (salt/pepper, dishes, cooking oil, sufficient toilet paper). Check out was easy, and required basic clean up required at most other airbnbs (start laundry, load dishes). The other guests and I talked about how it would be nice to come back again in the future with hopefully better weather. We had a great stay!

37(A) Shore Rd, Raymond ME
Although most consider The Maine Lakes Region a summer play land, it is also an absolutely breathtaking winter wonderland and made extra special staying at this residence. The sunrise views over a frozen, snow covered Thomas Pond are very special; this open and spacious home really made us feel that we were on vacation. During our stay a little snow storm passed through, the hosts plowed and cleared immediately. Highly recommend this residence year round.

Private Lake House with Docks & Views for Days
Fantastic spot. We stayed in the fall. It was quiet on the lake. We enjoyed SUPing and Kayaking. Was happy to find “one earth” natural grocer up the road a bit. We enjoyed a fire in the wood stove every night. The Loons were a special treat too. It is steep and lots of stairs to the water but worth the climb. :) Lea was so accommodating and responded immediately to every inquiry. Hoping to book again next fall!

2 BR Waterfront house with stunning view.
This was a really nice house on a beautiful lake. The beds were comfortable and there were enough to accommodate us. It was very clean and easy to enjoy your stay. We really enjoyed our stay.

The Driftwood - Oceanfront in Kennebunk Sleeps 11
We loved it! Lots of space for 7 of us, plenty of bathrooms, plus space to put together a jigsaw puzzle, watch the football game, sit down and eat, or work if you have to - all at the same time!! In other words, lots of common areas to spread out in. Being right on the beach was wonderful. And downtown is about a mile stroll, so you can eat too much at the little crepe place and walk it off on the way home. We would definitely come back if we have the chance. Beautiful home and Rives made it very easy to enjoy it.

Secluded Lakehouse/2 private docks*Hottub*big yard
We had a wonderful stay at this home for a mother daughter weekend end of March. Great location for each of us coming from different states in New England. The home was very clean, each of us commented on how comfortable the beds were, also loved the good quality linens. The huge dining table was unique for a rental and was awesome for sharing meals and doing arts & crafts. Lots of space and seating in the living room as well. Highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful Updated Condo Steps from the Beach
This Airbnb was a great space for 4 people. It was a short walk to the beautiful beach. About 20 minutes from so many shops and restaurants in Portland. Host sent very detailed instructions the day before the trip that were very accurate and helpful. Neighborhood felt safe and the unit was very clean.

Charming, newly remodeled space atop Munjoy Hill.
Unit was very clean, situated in a quiet residential area and within walking distance to many of Portland's best bars, restaurants and attractions. Host was communicative and provided clear guidance on check-in/-out procedures and offered up suggestions to local attractions. On my recommended list - dinner at Twelve (one of the best restaurants in the US, IMHO); on-site food truck tacos washed down with a Hazy IPA at Bellflower or Austin Street Brewery; an everything bagel with lox & morning latte at Forage; the East Promenade for a food truck lunch, then a stroll along the waterfront trail to the port area for an ice cream cone at Gorgeous gelato; afternoon coffee at Double Great Coffee; and a post-dinner whiskey @ Independence Ice. Only downside on my visit was the upstairs neighbor. Dude clearly isn't a principal dancer in the Portland Ballet, as light on his feet wouldn't describe him. Not a stereo or TV issue - you can just hear the noise from him walking (8AM-10PM when there)

Luxury Beach Front Condo! Prime Location!
The place was beautiful and clean with a great balcony! Access to beach was so easy and so convenient. Thank you for hosting us !!

Rustic Retreat studio, steps to the Beach. Unit #3
Deborah was very helpful and quick to respond. She had great suggestions on where and what to visit. The travel magazines she had on her TV stand were extremely helpful. The bed was very soft, which I love, so I slept really well. We loved the touch of having beach chairs available. The only downsides I can think of, are that the shower is very small, and it’s hard to back out of the parking space.

Oceanfront Condo with Awesome Views
This is the perfect place! Everything is very clean, and nothing missing! Kevin is very nice. He was good tips. I've always dreamed of coming to OOB in the winter and really enjoyed the experience! Loved our stay. With its location and double patios, the views are splendid! For lovers of the sound of the waves, the view of the sea, sunrises, long walks to the beach… this is the place!

The Brunswick
The location is amazing. The view is amazing as shown in the pictures. The apartment was actually pretty quiet, we couldn’t hear anyone in other units and little to no noise from the beach or bar below, though we stayed in the off-season. The balcony is huge and plenty of seating options and the living room is spacious and lots of seating. We had two young kids with us and we all had a great time. Would stay again.

NEW Beachside Wells Beach Condo with Pool
The Wells Beach condo was very comfortable and clean. It was off season so it was pleasantly quiet. It is very close to a great beach with a long stretch to walk and great for swimming and sunbathing in the good weather. There was a pool right outside the condo door which would be super convenient in the warm weather. The condo is well maintained and the ability to walk across the street to the beach is a great benefit. Plus there are restaurants and shops close by,

Rustic Willard Beach condo ten mins from Old Port!
What a wonderful place in a lovely neighborhood. The condo exceeded our expectations—it was even more beautiful in person. We had a comfortable, happy stay with our small children. Scratch Bakery and an ice cream parlor are right across the street! And the book collection was great. Highly recommend!
