Our stay at Sue's property was exceptional. The neighborhood was perfect - walking distance from Tandem and several other Portland gems. Sue also provided recommendations for things we should do while in Portland (including taking the ferry to Peaks Island, which we loved!) I will definitely book Sue's property again during my next trip to Portland.

Maine Vacation

Sue and Barry were excellent hosts who own and manage a very comfortable and fully supplied vacation rental (they thought of everything) within walking distance to just about anywhere in the greater Portland area. Their restaurant and attraction recommendations were spot on and we enjoyed them all.

This was our favorite stay on our trip. The house and location were excellent, and Sue (property owner) was incredibly nice and helpful checking us in and planning our sightseeing. Hopefully we can make it back some day, and we will search Portland on Avon FIRST.

Absolutely amazing hospitality and location!!! Met upon arrival by the owner, was given the layout of the city and even received a gift for our 20th anniversary!! Centrally located to everything, we were able to walk most everywhere in Portland. The house was gorgeous, lots of room and the back deck was key to relaxing after our long days. Parking across the street and a great neighborhood for deep sleep at night. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an awesome location at a beautiful property with those little touches from the owners that make it extra special!!!

Great location

Sue met us when we checked in, got us acquainted with the apartment, and showed us a map of Portland so we knew where we were in relation to restaurants etc. The apartment was great for a long weekend stay in Portland. It is in walking distance to many restaurants, and other sights. We would stay there again!
