Aug 2015What an AMAZING property! We stayed here for a long weekend and it could not be in a better location. You are right in the heart of the old port with so much to do and explore right outside the door. The property itself is immaculate with stunning views of the water that no hotel in the area could offer (weve stayed in several and can say this without hesitation). It has all the amenities you could want with extra luxuries that really made it feel special. The owner, Scott, was great to work with, very responsive and went above and beyond to make our Anniversary weekend so wonderful. We cant wait to plan our next trip to Portland and to stay here!

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!

Sep 2020We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Scott and Karen’s rental on Commercial Street. The apartment is cozy, comfortable and superbly located. It’s within walking distance of the great shops and restaurants. The view of the harbor is spectacular, a feature we appreciated all day long whether we were having morning coffee on the deck or an evening cocktail. Highly recommended for a romantic getaway. Stayed September 2020.

This property was fantastic. #1-the property was beautiful and amazing clean & spotless. #2-this was in an amazing location, right in Old Port, across from the harbor. Parking was easy, check in was easy. Overall this was a great experience and we would highly recommend.

Dec 2021We rented both Percival & Margaret for a ladies weekend in Portland. The city was delightful--Christmasy, charming, great food, fun shops, Soakology is a must do. And, BOTH apartments were exceptional. The spaces are beautiful, you are right in town, Scott & Karen have outfitted both with everything you need, and the views cannot be beat. Most highly recommend, and plan to head back myself!

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 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.

Sep 2015We are Portland residents who rented this property to host some friends while our home was undergoing renovations. The penthouse was spotless, the furnishings were contemporary AND very comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked better than anyplace weve rented before. It had everything you might need for light breakfasts, take-in meals, and full-fledged cooking. The views were of the city and the bay were spectacular. We enjoyed watching sunsets on the terrace and moonlight from the couch or the cupola. Linens, pillows, and towels were fresh, clean, and good quality. And you couldnt ask for a better location on the peninsula. An easy walk to anywhere with a parking space close by. Scott was very easy to reach, provided clear instructions, and made us feel very welcome. This place is a gem. As good as the pictures are, they dont do it justice.

Sep 2021We actually rented both the "Margaret" and "Percival" properties for our son's wedding. Both units were architecturally stunning, well appointed, spacious and the perfect surroundings for our son, daughter and a couple other members of the wedding party to be together. Having both units allowed them to have the privacy of the whole top floor, which made it the perfect backdrop and space for the wedding day photos of the Groom and his Groomsmen getting ready for the big day. The views and location are superb...There was a lot to celebrate that weekend, and the group took full advantage of all the wonderful restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance. The owner makes check-in and check-out extremely easy, as is the access to parking. Both "Margaret" and "Percival" would make any stay in Portland exceptional!

Oct 2019This was our first trip to Maine and we could not have picked a better location. Literally in the middle of everything with a gorgeous view to boot. Everyone in Portland was so nice. It’s defiantly one of the prettiest places we have ever been. We can mark it off our bucket list but will definitely return.

Sep 2019This property delivers everything promised. Furnishings are new, modern and very appealing. You really are sitting on top of Portland, with all of its city bustling. We enjoyed cooking a couple of meals and watching the "moon rise", but there are unlimited dining choices that you can walk to. Parking access was easy and convenient. There are plenty of activities adjacent to the lot that are reasonably priced. We cruised and took a trolley tour, and I recommend both. This penthouse is artistically designed and such a pleasure to be in, even though the rooms are on the small side. The city lends itself to spending most of your time outdoors anyway, with live music and outdoor dining all around.

Oct 2020This place is amazing. Very comfortable & clean. The view is incredible. The location is perfect. We never needed our car the entire stay. Karen & Scott were very easy to deal with and always available if needed. Highly recommend renting this beautiful place!

Oct 2015This penthouse was absolutely amazing. We stayed here for 5 nights and had an awesome time in Portland. The home is overlooking the water and the views are breathtaking. I sat out on the deck many hours day and night watching the boats cruise by. There are so many restaurants and cafes and pubs within a 1-2 minute walk from the penthouse. The actual living space was a combination of modern and vintage. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking supplies. The bedrooms are cozy and inviting. I slept so well in these beds. The living room featuring the skylights are a sight to be seen. Its almost surreal. I will go back to Portland and I will stay in this exact place again.
