Perfect mother's day weekend
The spaciousness and location made this house ideal for us. Watching the tide roll in, listening to spring and ocean birds, playing games and doing puzzles kept us busy and enjoying each moments.

Electricity was out . Two calls to emergency phones no response for 2 hours. Lighting was hard to figure out through house. Mouse droppings found in kitchen drawer. Property manager was very nice when returned call and came by later in the day. Very stressful day with no water or electricity the day of my mother in laws funeral

This is a good-sized house with lovely water views, an open floor plan, nice bedrooms with private baths, and big dining room table that was perfect for a family Christmas.

Family Reunion
We had a lovely family reunion over a long weekend and enjoyed Portside very much. It is a beautiful home on the water in a secluded area with lots of room for everyone. It is close to restaurants and the store and there is lots to do in area. We would definitely rent here again. The only suggestion is that the 2 couches may need some updating soon.

Loved it!
We loved everything about this house. The only thing I can say we wished there was more of was cookware in the kitchen but otherwise this house is really clean and stocked up. We really appreciated all the kid friendly games and activities found in the garage. We also originally was scared of the lobster steaming device but then found it to be super user friendly and wished all houses came with this. We can't wait to return!

Oceanside house with view.
This property was great. It was large and very nice on the water. My only complaint was that it didn't have any dish cleaning supplies for dishes or the dishwasher, but you had to clean the dishes before leaving. Other than that it was perfect for the four adults that were there.

Portside pleasings
Four-day stay was a "peaceful easy feeling, and 16 Portside didn't let us down." Plenty of grocery stores nearby (within appeox. 10 mile drive to Brunswick), and the picturesque inlet is indescribable. Highly recommend Cook's Lobster and Ale House on Bailey's Island.

Our Maine Vacation at Portside
Portside was the ideal home to come together with family. The home is spacious with beautiful views from the large windows facing the bay. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck, kayaking, and shopping in Freeport. We would recommend Two Coves Farm for healthy fresh produce and meat, loved our bakery items from Wild Oats Bakery in Brunswick, and dining at Dolphin Marina- (definitley worth the trip for the views. Staff at Mainstay were quick to respond to inquiries, and made the rental of Portside seamless.
