Rise & Shine Retreats

“This has to be the cleanest, neatest airbnb I have ever stay in. When you enter the initial common area, you will definitely see some signs of wear and maybe even a little debris from outside, but as soon as you enter the unit, you'll be very pleased. It looks exactly like the photos, only more spacious. The beds were comfortable, the appliances were all practically brand new. There were sufficient linens and towels and it was squeaky clean. I visited with my sister and two friends and we were all extremely comfortable. It was just a short 5min drive to most places we wanted to go. At night we ubered to our dinner reservation and it was quick and easy. The neighborhood is quiet. The host is a great communicator. Highly recommend.”

“Goos choice for a short time around Portland area. Quiet, safe, and spacious, with design and nice deco. The team is super responsive.”

“Our family greatly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, very conveniently located, and had ample room for parking while the host was extremely responsive and attentive to our questions. The kids enjoyed having their own rooms and plenty of space to run around. We would certainly stay here again!”

“The best birthday weekend ever. Great locations, great please, so clean, responsive hosts. We will definitely be back.”

“Wow! This house has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Easy check in and out. All amenities shown and then some. The views were incredible. Everything exactly as shown. Game room was a hit for the whole family. Clean and great use of the spaces. We were able to unplug and make family memories. looking forward to experiencing another family vacation here soon!”

“This Westbrook Apartment gave us just what we needed. Great location for us visiting family in Portland - just 10 minutes away. Very quickly responsive and helpful host. We had an issue with the TV, and they helped us get that resolved quickly. Comfortable place from bed to reading chair to couch to kitchen table chairs. Very calm and peaceful place, and walkable neighborhood for taking a stroll. My only complaint was that even with my blackout eye mask, the light from the skylight and from the bedroom window with white curtains instead of a blackout curtain, woke me up each day hours before my preferred wake up time. This seems like it could be easily remedied with a curtain addition in the bedroom and a blackout curtain for the skylight, or fixing of the bedroom sliding doors to the bedroom (which were not working) to block out the light. This would at least give people an option of being woken up by the light at 5am, or not. But otherwise we really enjoyed this place.”

“A great place to call home while spending time in Portland. Sean was super helpful when we had questions. Lovely quiet neighborhood and near the Back Cove.”

“Had an excellent time. Highly recommend for a quiet, private getaway surrounded by nature but with access to all the comforts of home. Thank you for a great stay!”

“The property was exactly as described, check-in was easy, and the host was so prompt in responding to any questions and was so attentive. Home was spotless and thoughtfully designed. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to prepare a great meal, from cookware to spices. And although we didn’t need them for our stay, the bathroom was stocked with toiletries and fluffy towels. Gorgeous private deck to relax and enjoy the sunshine while having a morning cup of coffee. Location was terrific as well! A quick walk away from a lovely coffee shop, a 2 minute drive from Hannaford’s and minutes away from countless restaurants and boutiques. This was a five-star experience in every sense and I would happily stay again.”

“The house was incredibly beautiful and spotless. Spending time with my family while gazing out at the river felt just like a scene from a movie. The host was highly responsive and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Kids really enjoyed having a game room. We would definitely visit again!”
