  I recently rented this property for a wedding weekend in Maine with some of my old college girlfriends, and the place was great! It was located in the historical section of Portland in a beautiful neighborhood and was only a short drive from all the shops and restaurants in Old Port. We had three cars total and parking was never an issue. The interior is absolutely beautiful with a giant, full service kitchen. The bedrooms were exactly as described with two spacious full bathrooms upstairs. The space was calming and peaceful, and I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for something more special and welcoming than a hotel room. We fit 6 adults comfortably, but I will note that if you have multiple couples staying, the bedrooms share a ceiling and sound travels quite easily. There were two living spaces and a beautiful open floorplan. My only regret is that we could not stay in this space longer!

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

  We stayed at this property as a family of 5-my husband, me, my parents and teenaged brother. Although the property is a condo, it had more than enough space for us all. The place is an ideal blend of modern convenience and historic charm. I loved the exposed brick and antique hardword floors, and also appreciated the air conditioning and modern, gourmet kitchen. The location was great, within walking distance to the old port, but far enough away to feel secluded. I would highly recommend this place, and hope to stay again in the future.

  We stayed in this condo for our daughter's wedding in August, 2011. Could not have been more pleased, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. There is such a sense of history staying there but every modern convenience you could ever imagine or want. Trust me these pictures do not do this condo justice, it almost seemed magical, especially when the trolley was at the front of the walk to pick us up for the church!! We could not have been more pleased and have some stunning photos to prove it!!

  Absolutely perfect! Location, ambiance, decor, a kitchen to die for. Three bedrooms handled 6 adults with the open seating area well suited for conservation and light libations. Walk / bike to town - Good food - excellent seafood at the docks to bring home - scallops with garlic, white wine, butter and wine with french bread. Yum Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Oh, a set up MAC to check the WEB was the crowning point.

  This property is great, location close to downtown in the nicest area in Portland close to shopping and restaurants. The Carriage House is a top notch renovation, a relaxing place to be, we were in Portland on business and it was a better alternative to staying in a hotel.
