Gorgeous Place to Stay
Cannot say enough about how beautiful this place is, and it's in a perfect part of town, close to the restaurants/shops, but not too close. Owner was great as well--definitely ask him about his hot sauce!

Engagement
Immediately entering the property it wowed us. The property is 2 bedrooms with plenty of space, a spacious kitchen and living room. The deck off the first bedroom was our favorite spot to hangout! The views of the hill and water were spectacular. I ended up proposing to my fiancé right in front of the property on the hill, and the pictures do not disappoint. The host was amazing, as we arrived he met us, told us about the street parking situation, and said if we needed anything do not hesitate to reach out to him. If there was a step above premier host, he is it. We will definitely be back in the future.

Nice view with limitations
Our trip to Portland, Maine was excellent but our stay at “Best Ocean View in Portland!" was mixed.
The view is incredible and the patio had ample patio furniture. The location is excellent. The Promenade is across the street and the shops and restaurants on Congress street are within walking distance. The #1 bus picks up in front of the unit and can access the transit center and most of downtown. The rest of the apartment was short on furnishings and fell short of the description on VRBO.
The ad said “dining room” but there were no dining table or dining chairs. There is an elevated breakfast bar. We love to play cards and board games and had to improvise an adequate table/seating combination. The kitchen had no toaster or dishwasher (though neither was advertised).
The wifi was punishingly awful. Our phones couldn’t connect to the signal anywhere in the unit and our laptops were only able to connect in the kitchen. If we were able to connect to the wireless router, the signal was mostly useless. For example, googlemaps would take minutes to load before an address could even be searched.
Advertising the unit with washer and dryer was misleading. There is a coin-operated pair ($3.75 per load) down three flights of stairs in the dingy basement that is shared by the entire building. I had to walk to a laundromat to get quarters because there is no change machine! It is not how you want to spend your vacation.
Advertising satellite or cable tv was also misleading. There was an HD receiver for broadcast channels and there was a coax cable but it did not connect to the tv or a cable box.
Finally, there were no blinds or drapes in the front bedroom, which created two issues. First, the windows look to the Southeast and are flooded with sunlight at 5:30 AM when the sun rises. Second, the windows overlook the deck, which means there is little privacy for the occupants of the front bedroom.
Dan did a great job preparing us for our stay and providing instructions for our arrival. He contacted us twice asking if we needed anything. After we expressed some concerns about the unit, he did not contact us again. We never received departure instructions.
The view really is unparalleled and the unit has ample opportunity to justify the steep price. I hope the owner makes modest changes so the space can reach its potential.
2 stars (we had high expectations based on the price and description)

Beautiful as soon as we first walked in! Wake up at sunrise and you’ll be happy you did☀️
We all had a great time exploring Portland with all it’s pretty vistas and great restaurants. Coming back to our condo was relaxing at the end of the day with its balcony overlooking Casco bay. Only issue for some would be three floors of steps but we were loving the extra steps at the end of the day after eating our way they this cute town!
We look forward to coming back! Dan was great to work with, meet in person and quickly responds to any questions you may have

The property was very clean.It was a hot day he had bottled water in fridge for us.
My overall experience was amazing.The view was spectacular.I spent most of my time either in the living area or on the deck.I particularly enjoy the convenience to the beautiful Fort Allen Park.This is a beautiful well designed park w many trails along the ocean.In the evening I enjoyed the short walks to the local restaurants which were excellent.Along the way I noticed many live outdoor concerts.Munjoy Hill is a beautiful community.I am looking forward to my next visit in October.

Spectacular Views! Stunning Sunrises!
We loved our stay at this condo. The view from the octagon living room, front bedroom, and the deck is simply magnificent! Casco Bay is just beautiful. I loved watching all the sailboats! The condo, located on the third floor in a Victorian house in the Munjoy Hill section of Portland, is beautiful and very comfortable. It is within walking distance of several restaurants, markets, and churches. I think we picked the hottest week in the year to visit Portland, but the bedrooms were cool with ac and opening the windows in the rest of the condo brought in enough breeze to be comfortable. The house is well-stocked with all the amenities we needed. The owner, Dan, is extremely nice. He called us the day before we were arriving just to let us know he was expecting us. He met us upon our arrival and showed us everything in the condo. If we needed anything, he was just a text away. He is very prompt and helpful. Dan even texted to let us know there would be a music event at Fort Allen Park just to give us a few more options for entertainment. Booking the condo was extremely easy. I highly recommend staying at this condo.
