Jun 2023Our 3-night stay in Portland was just right for our young kiddos. The location was perfect for us to walk down to the water or explore the cobblestone streets. Unfortunately it rained most of our stay so we couldn’t do as much exploring on foot as we would have hoped.
Excellent breads and coffee at Standard Baking Co. just down the street.
Beds were comfy, pillows plush. Have already recommended to our friends.

Apr 2023We had a great seven-day stay in the Percival unit. Kitchen was fully equipped and ready for use, a plus that we used on a couple of occasions. But it was also nice to be in the center of town and be able to explore Portland's great food and beer options.
We hope to return.

Mar 2023We were two couples enjoying this gorgeous penthouse in the heart of Portland. There for an opening at Cove Street Arts, we enjoyed a fabulous getaway! Saw the sunrise each morning from the living room, walked every day - great location, very close to bike path, waterfront, restaurants and shops. Extremely clean, nicely decorated, open space, perfect for the four of us. Hosts and staff were most attentive and communicative. We’ll be back!

Feb 2023Scott's place is really breathtaking from front to back. You walk in to a living room/kitchen/eating area that has unobstructed, expansive views of the harbor. This picture on the website was very accurate. We spent a lot of time in this area and found ourselves immediately calm watching the winter comings/goings of the traffic on the water. The back bedroom as well had unobstructed views of the downtown area. We loved having the blinds open all day. (Note - be aware that these are not mirrored glass from the outside.)
Everything was extremely clean and well curated and our experience was this was a quiet place to stay. Scott was very responsive when needed on check-in details or recommendations for places to eat.
Would definitely stay here again and loved the city of Porland!

Dec 2022This condo/apartment was exactly as shown.—modern decor with old Portland accents such as a rustic brick wall. The Commercial Street location afforded excellent access to downtown. Parking was effortless with access to a lot (included). The small deck was a bonus!

Nov 2022Great location, nicely renovated, mighty comfy with some nifty skylight drama! Down the street to Standard Baking for morning coffee and baked goods! Only suggestion would be upgrading the IKEA flatware --- as picky as that sounds -- it's beyond flimsy!

Nov 2022We had a wonderful time staying in this condo. The place is beautiful. The location is great to walk to restaurants and the ferry. It’s very close to the airport which was a plus as well. We walked 4-5 miles every morning before we started our day and it’s a safe and beautiful place for that. The bed is very comfortable- mattress and linens.

Aug 2022My wife and I have never been to Portland so this place was the perfect spot for us. We spent a week walking around the city and I feel like there is so much we did not get to experience. Percival penthouse was incredible. The views, people watching, and boat watching were amazing. The one day it rained we just sat inside read and watched the rain run down the huge windows. This is the perfect place to relax and explore. We can't wait to come back and I can not imagine staying anywhere other than here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and letting us explore Maine.

Aug 2022Our stay was perfect for a wedding on Peaks Island. It was easy to get to ferry and everywhere else. The penthouse apartment was beautiful with an amazing view. I hope to be back soon maybe when it’s not in the 90s!

Aug 2022We had an excellent stay in Portland. I can't imagine a better location for exploring the local shopping, bars, and restaurants. The only time we used the car after arriving was a day trip to a Kennebunk spa; otherwise, we walked everywhere. The unit was clean and comfortable, even with the unseasonably warm weather. And, of course, we were already planning our next visit after our first day, so that says it all.

Jul 2022Perfect location for exploring Portland. Enjoyed all the amenities of the unit. Would definitely stay at this location again. Scot was a great host.

Jul 2022Perfect location on Commercial Street in Downtown Portland to all our favorite shopping and restaurant choices. Two couples stayed comfortably in the penthouse which was spotlessly clean, well equipped in the kitchen, had a small but sweet outdoor balcony area, convenient parking across the street, secure building access, an elevator and washer/dryer. The owner was always responsive to our questions, both before and during our trip.

May 2022The pictures are beautiful and accurately portray this gorgeous Portland retreat. Thoughtful touches, a stocked kitchen, and comfy beds make it an enjoyable visit as well. We were lucky to enjoy both chilly weather and warm weather during our visit and the patio was so wonderful for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night in all weather! We explored so much of the city and the surrounding islands, but felt completely relaxed and comfortable staying in one afternoon to read on the luxurious couches in the sunshine under the skylights just to relax a bit. Within walking distance to everything we planned to visit, we truly appreciated the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place. We've stayed in many locations through VRBO and this one is top of the list for us now. Thank you!

Feb 2022We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very modern, but cozy, suite. The sun-drenched views are even more breathtaking in person compared to the pictures. It was centrally located, and perfect for our family of 4. The kids loved climbing up to the cupola. The unit was impeccably clean, parking was easy, and communication with owner was great. We hope to come back soon!
