We loved this secluded home. It was only a 10 minute drive from the Scarborough Fish & Game club where we competed in the Maine State Sporting Clays shoot. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We liked it and booked to go back in September!

Excellent property
This property is a central location for most activities. Everything is updated and exceptionally nice. The owner responds quickly, in fact I inquired as to which kind of coffee maker there was and it was the regular type and he responded again that he put a Keurig, as well. A very nice one, too. The yard was big enough for our grandson to play baseball. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking in that area for a nice place to stay.

Quiet and Serene but close to everything!
This was the perfect home base for our annual Maine getaway! We were close to all the things we needed and wanted to do. The host was wonderful, and left us fresh flowers for our arrival. The home was beautiful, clean, well appointed, and the views of the woods were lovely. Thank you for a great stay!

Very Clean, Great Central Location
Very clean & tidy, appliances & all in good condition. Lots of the little things you need in the kitchen were present, unlike many rentals. Overall very good place to stay. We were day-tripping and this is an excellent location for that purpose. Very good value, and all-in-all a pleasant and hassle-free experience.

Home away from home
We rented this lovely home over Thanksgiving last year and were so delighted with everything it had to offer we decided to rent it this year for our Thanksgiving celebration. It's quiet, clean, well laid out and has a well stocked kitchen for cooking. It is located near local restaurants and beaches should one choose to venture out, The hosts are most gracious and communication was prompt. They even had wonderful personal touches-homemade soap in the bathrooms and fresh flowers on the table to great us when we entered. We would highly recommend this place and look forward to staying there again.

House was spacious with 3 separate bedrooms located in different ends of the house along with two full bathrooms. Kitchen was open to the dining area and living room and came with a full selection of pots and pans and spices to prepare meals. It was a perfect retreat in the country to relax.

Quiet country getaway with city and beach nearby
We rented this lovely home over the Thanksgiving weekend and it was everything we hoped for-quiet, clean, a well stocked kitchen of cookware and bakeware for preparing meals, plenty of room to relax, plenty of parking and wonderful attention to detail. Any questions we had were answered promptly and check-in/check-out was smooth. The home is located in the country, yet close to restaurants, the beach and nearby Portland if wanting to explore the area. We look forward to renting this lovely home again.

A very pleasant stay
We stayed there for a family wedding party in Scarborough about 10 minutes from the property. Everything was clean. The amenities were great. We had to do a little cooking and the dishes, pots and pans were ample. Nice bedrooms and nice bathrooms. Two of the beds were pretty soft but just fine for kids. The master bedroom had a nice firm mattress which is what I prefer. A quick text to let Zach know I arrived and he gave me a code to get in. Close to most everything. I would stay here again.

Lovely house in the country, yet near urban amenities and the beach
Our family rented this house over Thanksgiving weekend and we liked it so much, we rented it for the Christmas weekend. It's private, quiet, very clean, well thought out floor plan, the kitchen has plenty of cookware for cooking meals and as mentioned the house is very near local restaurants, a short drive to Portland and not far from the beach. Any questions were responded with promptness and politeness. A true gem! We are looking forward to renting this lovely home again.

Family getaway
We recently spent 5 days at this property and really enjoyed it. The house is very clean and the setting is private, but you are very close to everything in Scarborough. I had an issue with the VRBO app on our way to the house and could not access our code for the front door and Zac responded to my email immediately. We also left an item behind and he did his very best to try to catch us before we were too far away and then graciously went out of his way to mail the item back to us, which we really appreciated. Overall, this is a great house with even better customer service!

TV & Water Issues
The tap water had a distinctive brown tinge to it for the first 3 days of our stay. As a result, we bought bottled water for drinking and cooking. Also, two of the three TVs did not work. The one with the combo DVD/VHS player wouldn’t play a new DVD. None of the 3 TVs were connected for broadcast TV. Luckily, I knew my Amazon Prime password, otherwise we would not have had any TV. However, other than those two nits, the rental was very nice, quiet, and well provisioned!
