Fantastic location and place to stay

We had a great time in Portland, Maine and could not have picked a better place to stay. Sam and Daisy were wonderful hosts. The rental was even nicer in person, had everything we needed and was in a great location. We would stay here again the next time we visit beautiful Maine.

Sam and Daisy made Portland, Maine an adventure of a lifetime. The Vrbo was just right for checking off items on my bucket list. Sam’s knowledge of the area and kind vibe put me at ease. Who doesn’t love a well mannered dog with great doggy love to greet you during your visit. Thank you Sam and Daisy!

Fantastic Studio, Fantastic Host, Fantastic Daisy

Sam and Daisy were the best host anyone could ask for. Daisy greeted us at the car as soon as we arrived and was the sweetest dog. Sam was an amazing host and had fantastic recommendations for our stay in Portland. All of his recommendations were outstanding and did not disappoint. The place was clean and had everything we could’ve needed. In a nice quiet residential area. We would definitely book with Sam and Daisy again when we come to Portland again.

Ideal

We stayed here last year and were delighted to find it available also this year. It’s is perfect for us, an immaculate studio apartment with the necessary amenities and a most gracious host. The location is close to our son and his wife so we are able to easily be together and explore the area from home base. Very comfortable and cozy. Not listed among the amenities, but one of our favorites, is Daisy the adorable Bernese Mountain dog, aka New Best Friend. She’s special and loves attention, and we love to oblige.

Fantastic location in quiet neighborhood, short drive to downtown

So glad we had the opportunity to stay at Sam's place! His dog, Daisy, was an added bonus. The location can't be beat, it's located behind Sam's house above the detached garage, in a quiet neighborhood. It was a short (10-15 min) drive to downtown Portland to explore the city. Sam was a great host, very helpful with recommendations. The flat itself was clean and well-equipped. Would be great for a a couple, or a family with kids as the sofa is a sleeper sofa. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the bed, as it sags a bit in the middle and we found ourselves rolling inward!

Enjoyable stay

Sam and his dog, Daisy were gracious hosts. They greeted us upon our arrival and welcomed us to our home away from home. Daisy loves people and we enjoyed loving on her during our stay. Sam was very accommodating with our requests. making our stay enjoyable. He had printed information on the table concerning how to use things in the apartment and other local information that might be helpful. Enjoyed having the w/d in the apartment as well. Location was easy access to interstate and sites around Portland. Apartment was as presented in the listing. Highly recommend.

Loved our stay with Sam and Daisy!

We had a very enjoyable stay in Sam's studio. Sam was kind enough to provide us with a cot, which allowed 4 girls to fit comfortably. The pull out couch was not very comfortable, but it was doable for a long weekend stay. Sam was an amazing host who gave great recommendations. We really appreciated his hospitality, especially the coffee he provided! His beautiful dog Daisy stole our hearts! Great location, only about 10 min drive to downtown Portland. Thank you!

Awesome Vacation

We loved our stay. Sam always gave us the best recommendations for family friendly activities. Daisy was always waiting for us and absolutely loves children. The place was clean and more spacious than I expected from the pictures. The location was a quiet residential neighborhood that was about 20-30 minutes from everything fun to do. This was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone. My daughter already misses Daisy and talks about her multiple times each day.

Nice studio

Great, cute studio apartment above the homeowner’s garage with a convenient nearby parking space. The location is quiet, with nearby trails to hike, easy access to downtown Portland and main throughways nearby to easily drive to other neighboring communities. The studio is equipped with the basics for a stay away from home (we bought basic seasoning and spray oil). The Keurig coffee maker (with pods), washing machine & dryer (with detergent), wi-fi &TV, welcome note with important information and reminders, and closet with hangers & drawers for clothes were greatly appreciated. We met Daisy the night before we checked out - a very friendly, people loving dog who greeted us when we were outside. The only area that could be improved upon was the mattress. It showed much use and when the two of us lay down, we rolled or slid to the center. Sam asked for suggestions so we let him know and he assured us it would be replaced. Overall positive experience and nice place for the two of us to stay while exploring Maine.

About the host

Hosted by Sam Surprise

Host profile image
I live in the main house on the property and run my Marketing & Communications business out of my home. I have a lovely Bernese Mountain dog, Daisy, who is friendly with everyone.

Why they chose this property

My Studio Suite is perfect for a couple or individual who want more space and amenities than a hotel and want to experience coastal Maine in any season. The studio is newly built, has air-conditioning, hardwood floors and is great for active people who want to explore the coast of Maine north and south from the largest city in Maine,

What makes this property unique

I moved to Portland 34 years ago from NYC and discovered the perfect place for me to live and work. I ski, I sail, I snowmobile, I hike, I ride balloon tire bikes, I travel the rural mountain roads in an Alfa Romeo and I do it all within minutes of my home. You can too.
