Holiday houses in Bustins Island

We had a great stay at Gregory's place, it was exactly as described. Plenty of space for 5 of us, very clean, and in a quiet neighborhood, yet close enough to Portland to do all the things we wanted. Greg was very quick to respond to any questions we had and would definitely stay there again. My only complaint is that a cold January week in Maine was colder than Colorado ha-ha, but we were there for our Grand Daughters first birthday, so our time wasn't very flexible.

This cottage was ideal for our group. It is atypical in that the ‘bunk room’ is good for sleepovers with the younger crowd. And, living/dining is perfect for game nights & movie nights. The simple kitchen & 2 baths made it perfect for our 8 able-bodied friends. The awkward stairs & short ceilings could be deal breakers for any parties exceeding 5’10” or with mobility issues. But, plenty of towels & hot water for longer haired kiddos who needed showers after a late October swimming down by the pier… which is walkable, but also a super short drive.

My family and I love Sandy’s place. Lots of room, so comfortable and very clean! Sandy is so easy to communicate with and is always quick to reply! Close to the beach to take the dogs for a run in the winter months, close to town for restaurants, bowling, shopping. And just a great place to hang out, watch football, play games, or make pizza in the wood fired pizza oven! This is our second stay and we’ll be back.

We had a great long weekend at The Hideaway! The house was clean and very comfortable for 5 adults. There is a fire pit in the backyard, but plan ahead for firewood as the closest market does not sell it (we found some at Zach's Country Store in Brunswick). It's a great location with beautiful views and great restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

The house is lovely and, if it’s not new, it sure feels that way. In a very quiet area with tons of outdoor space yet just a mile or two from more main roads. Had a lovely white Christmas/Hanukkah with fresh snow on the 24th. Diana was a great host, always answering questions promptly and rolling with some last minute travel issues. Would love to stay here in warmer months to take advantage of the outdoors and the lovely sun porch.

great place for a group of friends to get away from the city ! hot tub was spacious, pool table was a great addition to the house, and the large property was awesome for exploring the woods. overall, 10/10 would definitely come back !! only downside, there were only 11 forks for 12 guests !

This was absolutely the perfect spot to spend a cozy New Year's visit. The views all around are breathtaking and the house is set far back from the road and very quiet. And the house was absolutely pristine. If you are like me and are picky about your bedding I can assure you that you won't be disappointed! The mattresses and pillows were super comfy and the sheets were lovely! You will rest so well! Also - if you have the opportunity, definitely visit Reid State park. It's about 25 minutes away and absolutely worth the trip.

Our group of 5 adults were so pleased we chose to stay at Jason’s house in Old Orchard Beach. We first looked at places in Portland, but Jason’s spacious house offered a quieter setting, with parking and more amenities, at a better price. Comfortable beds, immaculate throughout. Very thoughtfully appointed, with nightstands on both sides of the beds, and superior blackout blinds in the bedrooms. And we ended up spending less time in Old Port, because we enjoyed exploring the towns south of Portland: Old Orchard Beach, Saco, Biddeford, and we found good restaurants (including Holy Donuts!) nearby. We had no issues: we contacted Jason to confirmed our arrival/departure and he responded within minutes. We highly recommend!
