About this property

Downtown Penthouse Suite - Stunning Harbor Views

CO2024-01785

Welcome to your private 1850s Old Port penthouse, offering breathtaking views and complimentary parking nearby. This spacious, contemporary suite is filled with natural light and sits directly across from Portland’s working waterfront. Fresh lobster and seafood straight from the boat are only steps from your door. Enjoy the ferries, the harbor breeze, and your own private deck while taking in all that this historic area has to offer.

Please note that animals, including assistance animals, are not permitted due to the owner’s health.

Leave your car in the complimentary lot one block away and enjoy the freedom of exploring Portland on foot.

Your Penthouse Experience
Fall in love with Portland from this top floor penthouse suite on Commercial Street, where you can admire sweeping views of the city and harbor. Watch cruise ships pass by as you enjoy the sunrise or sunset with coffee or a sparkling drink from the sixth floor.

This beautifully restored former warehouse blends modern comfort with old world charm, offering exposed brick, stylish furnishings, and thoughtful design throughout.

The location is truly exceptional. Walk one hundred steps to the marina dock for your morning coffee with waterfront views. Venture out and discover why Portland is one of the most beloved destinations in New England.

The Kitchen and Living Spaces
Buy the freshest seafood from right across the street and prepare meals in the well equipped contemporary kitchen, perfect for simple breakfasts, take in dinners, or a relaxing evening with television and family time.
Amenities include Bosch stainless steel appliances, an oversized leather sectional, and televisions in both bedrooms.

The Neighborhood
Everything is close by.
Casco Bay Lines to the islands is a two-minute walk.

Relaxation and Comfort
Enjoy comfortable beds with high quality linens, a deep soaking tub with floor to ceiling windows, and custom tiled walk-in showers. Every detail is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.

Whole Foods and Trader Joes are five minutes away by car, though most guests prefer to leave the car in the complimentary lot and walk anywhere they want to go.

This home is an excellent choice for families, visitors without a car, guests or couples seeking a romantic getaway. It also offers a wonderful alternative to a traditional hotel stay.

Location. Stunning views from the skylight windows. Private and secure. Soaking tub is restorative, especially in winter season. Standard Bakery is a 5 minute walk, Coffee By Design (local) and delectable scones, cardamom buns and other French breakfast pastries. We only used the gas stove to boil water in the kettle.

Great downtown stay!

This property is beautiful and located in the heart of downtown Portland. Stunning views of the harbor from the main living area! We didn’t have enough towels and the property manager delivered more within minutes. The sheets are high / hotel quality and the bed so super comfortable. The master bathroom is extremely small but otherwise it was a perfect stay. Literally minutes (walking) from tons of restaurants and shops and downtown Portland was an absolute VIBE! Highly recommend this penthouse suite!

Thanksgiving in Portland ME

Lovely property, central to everything, fabulous views. Modern kitchen with new appliances. Bedrooms and bathrooms while small were also newly updated. My only negative would be that there was no trash pickup over the course of our 4 day stay, I’m guessing due to the holiday.

Perfect Location

Margaret is in a good location convenient to many restaurants and bars. The apartment was clean upon our arrival and was well appointed with linen, pots and pans, spices, dishware etc. The parking pass made it very easy to park in a super busy downtown location. The trick is finding a parking space upon arrival so the parking pass can be retrieved from the apartment. Also, although the VRBO listing shows a hot tub is available, it is actually a soaking tub in the primary bathroom. Regardless, you won't be disappointed with this VRBO
