Downtown Penthouse Suite - Stunning Harbor Views
CO2024-01992
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.

Amenities include Bosch stainless steel appliances, an oversized leather sectional, and televisions in both bedrooms.

Our stay was fantastic to celebrate my birthday with my BFF! The Margaret Suite was even lovelier than pictured and it was such a nice spot to enjoy a couple of nights in Portland. The views are spectacular, and the comfort of the suite was perfect. It was very well appointed with everything needed to make our stay a great memory. So easy to deal with Scott and Karen and they had everything down to a T. Would definitely recommend it and stay there again. It was smack in the middle of all that the old port has to offer and then some. Thank you again, Lisa
Outstanding customer service and the view from our loft was incredible. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay and we look forward to coming back someday.
The Margaret suite was the perfect base for us the weekend our son was married on an island off Portland. So close to restaurants, and the water taxis. Lovely view from the balcony/deck.
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 location and views, close proximity to all of the downtown and even the airport. We massively enjoyed exploring downtown as well as hanging out in the apartment and watching the sun rise.

Thank you, Lauren. So glad you had a wonderful time in Portland.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and stocked with the general necessities! The location was convenient to walk everywhere downtown! The views from the patio were great! Really enjoyed staying here, would definitely recommend!
This place was perfect for us. Very clean, great layout and has everything you could need. The convenient location was the best part!!! We were within walking distance to everything. We’ll definitely be staying here again and highly recommend!!!
Wonderful location and parking is included - hard to find during the summer months. Appreciated ability to cook some meals and mostly well stocked kitchen - great appliances. Comfortable sitting area in LR and space to spread out.
We were so pleased with the condo and its furnishing. The rooms were clean, beds very comfortable and location was perfect! The condo came with bedding, towels and kitchen essentials which made our stay exceptional!
We will definitely return to this condo for future stays in Portland!
