Downtown Penthouse Suite - Stunning Harbor Views

2023 City of Portland Registration #20182242-ST

Fall in love with Portland in your very own private, top-floor penthouse suite on Commercial Street with stunning views of the cityscape and harbor.

Watch the cruise ships your private deck while taking in the sunrise or sunset with a fresh cup of coffee or glass of bubbly from the 6th floor. You will not be disappointed.

This renovated 1850's former warehouse right next to the Custom House offers a mix of luxury + comfort, contemporary + old-world charm.

Walk 100 steps across the street and drape your legs over the marina dock while having your morning coffee and looking at the boats. It’s the perfect waterfront location for enjoying historic Portland, a tourist destination. It doesn’t get better than this.

Buy the freshest seafood in town right across the street. Cook for your family in the well-stocked contemporary kitchen with everything you might need for light breakfasts, take-in meals, and a relaxing night of home-cooked dinner and cable TV.

Favorite amenities and features include exposed bricks throughout, Bosch stainless appliances, oversized leather sectional, TV’s in both bedrooms.

Very safe and secure. Two security cameras in common hallway by elevator.

Right out your door is the best of Portland: Casco Bay Lines to the islands - 2 minute walk, Starbucks - 60 second walk, the award-winning Standard Baking bakery + Fore Street Restaurant – 2 minutes away. The Famous Dimillos floating restaurant -across the street. The renowned donut shop The Holy Donut - a 2 minute walk. This might be the best-located vacation rental in all of Portland.

Looking for relaxation? We’ve got you covered, from the very comfortable beds with high quality white linens, to the deep soaking tub with floor-to-ceiling windows, to the luxury custom-tiled walk-in showers. It’s all in the details.

This is a very special place.

Whole Foods + Trader Joes are just a 5 minute car ride. Better yet, leave your car in the complimentary parking lot across the street and walk everywhere.

Great for a family vacation, tourists without car, age 55+, or a romantic getaway. An excellent alternative to a hotel stay.

For an unrivaled view better than any hotel, with privacy and security that is unmatched, choose the Margaret Suites from The Watch, your go-to destination when in Portland.

Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

Thanksgiving in Portland ME

Lovely property, central to everything, fabulous views. Modern kitchen with new appliances. Bedrooms and bathrooms while small were also newly updated. My only negative would be that there was no trash pickup over the course of our 4 day stay, I’m guessing due to the holiday.

Perfect Location

Margaret is in a good location convenient to many restaurants and bars. The apartment was clean upon our arrival and was well appointed with linen, pots and pans, spices, dishware etc. The parking pass made it very easy to park in a super busy downtown location. The trick is finding a parking space upon arrival so the parking pass can be retrieved from the apartment. Also, although the VRBO listing shows a hot tub is available, it is actually a soaking tub in the primary bathroom. Regardless, you won't be disappointed with this VRBO

We stayed in this beautiful 2 bedroom/2bath apartment next to the port. Clean and very comfortable with windows looking out over the water and wharf. The owner was very helpful and quick to communicate. Close to great restaurants and shops. Trader Joe’s and Hannaford Supermarket are a short drive away.

We have stayed at this rental multiple times and continue to return because its cleanliness, style, and location can't be beat. We were especially happy to have the owner notify us of an earlier check in time. The rental is well equipped and allows you to feel instantly at home. Can't wait for our next stay.
