Dig the Digs!

This property was absolutely lovely and exactly what we hoped for. The condo was much more spacious than we expected and everything that we desired was either provided or readily accessible. Additionally, the location was perfect! Early morning walks were to Spring Point Ledge Light and evening walks to Portland Headlight, with the time in between spent with family in Portland. I highly recommend Arlie’s Digs.

Great place!

This is the second time we've stayed here. Property is well taken care of and the owners are very responsive. Its convenient to downtown and only a 4 minute walk to Willard Beach. Bonus is being across the street from Scratch Bakery. Would recommend and would stay here again. Thanks Steve and Ed for another great stay.

Perfect vibes

We stayed here as a family of 4 and it was a wonderful location for exploring the South Portland area. It was an easy walk to Willard beach with lots of great shops (delicious bakery, yummy ice cream) just steps away. We only stayed a couple of nights but we easily could have stayed a month! This place had all the amenities with comfortable beds and luxurious towels. We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, off street parking, and the washer/dryer. Very clean and well maintained. Beautifully decorated. Definitely recommend!

Location!

Charming unit located in a fantastic location! We enjoyed the bakery across the street and the ice cream shop in the next block. The hosts thoughtfully provide so many “extras” such as sunglasses, umbrellas, and beach towels for use during the stay. Descriptions for this rental are very accurate.

Wonderful base for exploring South Portland

We were very pleased. The place was spotless, great location, all basic amenities provided. There are not 2 king beds, only 1 king and a queen. Not an issue but listing said a king. You won’t go wrong with this place and definitely check out the bakery across the street!

Give this place a good look

Quaint 1st floor apartment, bigger inside than first appeared from outside. Kitchen reminded us of an old farmhouse kitchen with nice restoration work done. Nice sized living room and bedroom. Dining room may be a little small (but not too small) but has a nice table and 4 chairs and is conveniently attached to the kitchen. The House is VERY conveniently located almost right across the street from a busy bagel shop with an ice cream shop across the intersection from there. We found the house location to be a great home base for all the day trips we took. Checkin, checkout, and communication were all smooth as can be. Would book again if we're back in Portland.

Very spacious, sunny, spotless house

I have only good things to say about my stay. It was in December, so I can’t speak to the beach experience, but I had a great stay nevertheless. The hosts thought of everything- extra outlet extenders in every room, a huge TV with streaming channels, many thick towels, bathroom products, washer/dryer with detergent provided. King bedroom was very spacious with lots of sunlight. For winter guests, the living room and master bedroom have space heaters disguised as TV screens with an adjustable image of a fireplace. They add a lot of cozy ambiance, as well as nice extra heat. It is fantastic to have Scratch Bakery across the street with great coffee and baked goods. Steve and Ed were outstanding hosts, who answered my questions, and extended extra kindness to me. Highly recommend!

Great place!

We visited for a few days to decompress, explore the area, and take our new dog for his first getaway. The house was perfect for all 3 of us and we really enjoyed our stay! Everything was spotless and the area was great to walk our dog around. It is close to shops and the beach as well. Overall, it was an excellent stay and we had some great memories - hope to visit again soon!

A lovely respite in a sometimes crazy world.

Steve & Ed's attention to detail makes their place exceptional. They have made sure every room in the condo is just right including lovely bath towels, linens, and a kitchen that has all the utensils for a good chef. And, to top it off the beach is just a short walk away. We are looking forward to coming back!

Loved it!

We absolutely loved this property! It was perfect in every way from the layout, to comfortable beds, to fireplaces and ease of wifi access and TVs. We loved the thoughtful binder of information and the dog bowl! It was decorated perfectly and was just so homey and felt like someplace we wanted to settle in and stay awhile. Additionally, we loved the bakery practically across the street and even took baked goods to go upon departure. Couldn’t have been happier with this property and you can see how much thought and heart went in to making this an exceptional place! Thank you!
