About this property

Spacious West End Retreat, Walk Everywhere, Prime Portland Location

Stay in one of Portland’s most sought-after neighborhoods—the historic West End—where tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and a refined residential feel meet unbeatable walkability to everything the city has to offer.
This beautifully preserved historic building has been thoughtfully updated and offers a rare opportunity for larger groups: a few units combined into one expansive stay featuring 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Ideal for wedding groups, family reunions, birthday celebrations, and multi-generational travel, the layout provides the perfect balance of gathering together while still enjoying private space. While the home is made up of individual units, it flows easily for groups, allowing everyone to stay connected without feeling crowded.
Spanning the second and third floors, the home includes multiple living areas, kitchens, and sleeping spaces, making it easy to spread out while still enjoying time together.
Enjoy two private outdoor decks, perfect for morning coffee, relaxing afternoons, or unwinding in the evening after a day exploring Portland.
The location is exceptional—and incredibly walkable. Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by neighborhood favorites, including restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and local shops—giving you that true Portland experience right at your doorstep but in a quieter city neighborhood.

Old Port restaurants, shops, and cafes are just a short walk away
Portland’s waterfront is also easily accessible on foot, offering working wharves, scenic views, and boat activity
Museums, galleries, and live music venues are all nearby
Park your car and explore Portland entirely on foot.
Despite its central location, the West End remains quiet and residential—offering a more elevated and peaceful experience than staying directly in the busy downtown core.

Parking is easy and flexible:
Free on-street parking is available. Just a few doors down, there is also a convenient metered lot (approximately $20/day), which is free overnight and includes electric vehicle charging stations. An additional paid parking lot is located within a short 2-minute walk for added convenience.
Please note: This home is located in an upscale residential neighborhood and is best suited for respectful guests. It is ideal for gatherings, but not parties or events.
Whether you're in town for a wedding, reunion, or group getaway, this property offers a rare combination of space, historic charm, and walkable access to Portland’s best attractions.

Great Place!

Amazing place (and layout) for our large family of 11. The home is broken up into multiple units, which was unexpected, but worked great! Multiple living areas, lots of private space, and perfect location - walkable to just about anything you want to experience in Portland, ME!

Perfect Portland Apartments!

Kathryn's home was incredible for a stay in Portland. The location couldn't be more perfect and being able to enjoy the patios on a perfect fall day was amazing. Kathryn was really easy to work with and was quick in her communication. Highly recommend!

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.
