About this property
Prime central Location • Large Deck • Walk to Old Port,Waterfront & music venues
Wake up in Portland’s sought-after West End, where tree-lined streets, historic charm, and the city’s best dining, arts, and waterfront are all just steps away. Thanks to the central location, nearly everything—Old Port, museums, music venues, restaurants, and coffee shops—is easily walkable.
After a day exploring, unwind on two private outdoor decks, ideal for morning coffee, afternoon sun, or a relaxed evening with a glass of wine. The residence has been thoughtfully updated and offers all the amenities needed for an easy, comfortable stay.
This property includes two separate residential units on the second and third floors, accessed by a shared interior hallway. This listing includes both the second and third floors (all residential units)—an ideal setup for families or groups traveling together who want proximity with a little separation.

About the host
Hosted by kathryn townsend
I’m passionate about creating beautiful, comfortable spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Thoughtful design, quality details, and a welcoming atmosphere matter to me, and I take pride in making sure every stay is seamless, memorable, and well cared for. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer visit, my goal is for you to enjoy a top-notch experience from the moment you arrive until the day you leave—and to feel excited to come back again.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures everything I love about Portland—walkability, culture, great food, and a true sense of place. Being steps from the Old Port, the waterfront, art museums, and live music means guests can experience the city effortlessly, without needing a car. It’s vibrant yet comfortable, historic yet lively, and offers the best of Portland right outside the door. For me, it’s the ideal home base for exploring, relaxing, and feeling connected to the city.
What makes this property unique
Located in Portland’s West End, this spacious retreat comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests and is ideal for multi-family stays or larger groups who want to travel together while still enjoying a bit of privacy. With two private outdoor decks, there’s plenty of space to spread out—whether it’s morning coffee, afternoon downtime, or winding down after a day of exploring. Step outside to walkable restaurants, Old Port, museums, music venues, and the waterfront, or take a short drive to beaches, water parks, antiquing, outlet shopping, and a wide range of coastal activities including boating, kayaking, and harbor cruises. It’s a rare blend of urban convenience and classic Maine adventure, all from one perfectly central home base.
