The house was very comfortable. Beds were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sharing meals in the kitchen and gathering on the sectional in the living room. We visited LL Bean and had dinner at a wonderful restaurant in Portland (Minato's).I loved walked the dogs along the cove and through the neighborhood.

We had a great stay. My teen boys all had their own beds which was perfect for our family. Great and quiet location and short drive to all that we wanted to see. There is construction happening on the street, but it didn’t affect us as we were constantly out and about. Host was responsive. Would stay here again in the area!

We had a great time staying in the Back Cove! The house has so much charm and was so comfortable for us girls! We loved the walkability of the area- we walked down the street and right by the water every day! The bedrooms are comfortable and the upstairs room is quite spacious- we were able to sleep 10 very comfortably. I highly recommend!

Wonderful place in Portland for family vacation

We really enjoyed this back cove stay with the family of six. The house was well cleaned and an easy walk/run down to the back trail which we used daily. We will definitely stay at this property again if we come back to the Portland area in the future.
