This was a wonderful home to stay in. We were only a very few blocks into town. Jen was very responsive to any of our needs and was very friendly. The home was very warm and inviting and the big wrap around porch was a bonus for us for breakfast and evening wine and cheese time. The home was clean and well supplied. The kitchen was very well designed and again well stocked beyond the basics. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Camden. It is so centrally located to visit surrounding towns. Everything was 30 minutes away it seemed.

It was a family reunion for us in late July and this was one of the two properties we rented. The check-in was a breeze and Jen stopped by to say hi. The place occupied the front of the first floor and was very spacious and well appointed. Actually much nicer than the photos showed. It was very well stocked (probably the best we have ever seen) and had everything we needed and more. The whole family came over for dinners and my chef brother approved the kitchen and the equipment, including the grill on the porch which we used. We also appreciated the laundry facility which was easily accessible. The location was great and we walked to downtown Camden several times. Jen communicated well before, during, and after the rental. I would definitely come back to the place again.

Wonderful stay over the Christmas holidays at this lovely home. The space is really beautiful. Beds were comfortable, and we loved the gas fireplace. The owners had decked the house with lovely Christmas decorations, and were very easy to communicate with. Location is great too. Easy walking distance to the center of town, but far enough away to be quiet. Thank you Jen for a lovely experience! (We did not ski, but VRBO is making me enter a value for skiing in order to submit this review.)

Fall in Maine

The four of us had a great stay in Camden. We could walk into town and the harbor anytime, or go exploring up and down the coast. The first floor apartment is roomy, very clean and very comfortable. We loved seeing the chickens in the backyard.

Plenty of space and walkable to downtown

We very much enjoyed our stay! The unit was spacious and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with with dining/cooking implements. The only thing we were missing was an oyster knife, which we gifted the house upon leaving! The location was an easy walk to everything in downtown Camden. We would definitely consider staying there again.

This house was perfect for our girls getaway. The location is great, a few steps away from restaurants and boutiques and 2miles from the local beach. The house is very clean and you will find everything you need. Maria is a great host and I recommend her place without any doubts.

Wonderful

Our stay was just lovely, beautiful Victorian home that is spotless and comfortable. All we needed was provided, the location was as advertised as a 5-7 min walk to downtown, which was so much better than driving down and trying to find a place to park. The July 4th week was the perfect week to be there, weather was great. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We very much liked our home vacation rental. I sat in the living room in the morning with the sun coming through the stained glass windows. The whole house was really nice. We enjoyed walking to town and exploring the area. We would love to go back again. It was wonderful. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Outstanding Accommodations

The Captain Smith apartment is ideally located for visiting Camden and other Maine seacoast locations. The walk into town is about 2 blocks yet the house is well away from the fray. The apartment was spotlessly clean and fully supplied with everything you might need during your stay. We have already booked this accommodation for next year.

Wonderful Apartment in Camden, Maine

Captain Smith’s is one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed in. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and super comfortable! Jen thought of every little detail- down to the bowl of mini peppermint patties in the living room! She even set up a Christmas tree for us! We loved sitting in front of the cozy fireplace, reading our books or watching tv, and appreciated the well-equipped farmhouse kitchen, easy parking, and short 5-minute walk to downtown Camden. Jen & Eric were warm and welcoming and super responsive to our needs. I hope I get the chance to stay at Captain Smith again.

Always wonderful with everything you need. *****

Beautiful and authentic Victorian home. Original stained glass windows, woodwork and details. Meticulously clean and cared for. Beds are so comfy. Completely stocked kitchen and bath. Living room has great seating, fireplace and flat screen tv. Wifi, books and games too. Personable hosts are on site and cared for us like family. Ask about the pet friendly apartment. We will book again and again. The Captain Taylor House is like staying at your favorite Grammie's with all the modern touches and steps away from town.

Camden Maine in July!

We enjoyed and awesome week in Camden Maine in this lovely rental. Wonderful location away from the crowds and close enough to everything. That includes Mt Battie, Camden Harbor and Sailing on a Schooner, Camden Library and Amphitheater, and great events, and Lake Megunticook for when we wanted a fresh water swim! This place was comfortable, well maintained, and stocked to the gills with everything we desired. That included the Lobster Pot and the best place to get our lobsters for steaming and eating on the great front porch. There is no lack of things to do, or do nothing but relax on the porch in the rocking chair. Would recommend and will definitely come back for more.

Great Experience

We had a wonderful time during our 3 week stay at Captain Smith in July 2022. The property description is absolutely accurate. Having enjoyed Camden during one day visits on previous trips to Maine we were very diligent in searching VRBO for a place convenient to downtown and all it offers (a very short walk away) as well as a place we could relax and plan our day tips exploring the Mid Coast area. Breakfasts on the porch were perfect for that. Also used the grill on the porch for several meals reflecting on the day. Captain Smith was a great choice. Jen and Erik were wonderful hosts; timely answering what few inquiries we had.
