Welcome to The Cabana! Experience the perfect fusion of historic charm and modern luxury in this stunning penthouse apartment nestled in the heart of Portland's trendy and historic West End. Step into a world of elegant hardwood floors, tasteful period details, and views of the scenic Back Bay. In the heart of downtown, on a quiet street, just a short stroll away from all that Portland has to offer!

THE SPACE: Whether it's a family vacation, a friends' reunion, or a fabulous bachelorette weekend, The Cabana has you covered! With three spacious bedrooms and two optional Queen EZ-beds, this stylish haven can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests across 1350sqft of penthouse living space.

This newly renovated apartment boasts radiant heating and AC, galley kitchen complete with a gas range and stainless steel appliances, well appointed with plush leather couches and casper bedding, a large TV equipped with many streaming services.

NEIGHBORHOOD: We are in the heart of downtown Portland in the historic arts district where you will be within walking distance of many great restaurants, scenic views and historic neighborhoods. The Cabana is a five-minute walk from the Western Prom, Deering Oaks Park, Portland Museum of Art, Several Music Venues, many acclaimed restaurants, and Maine Medical Center. Additionally, you will be a 15-minute walk from the Old Port.

TRAVEL: We are located in an area of downtown with free street parking. Spaces are generally abundant before 5pm. As it gets later, parking becomes much more limited and it can be difficult to find a spot. For this reason, we recommend checking in on the earlier side. Paid off-street parking spots are often available upon request for $25/night. Please message or call for off-street parking availability. Early requests are given priority.

SAFE ENJOYMENT: We ask all guests to please take responsibility for their safety during their stay and to please take appropriate precautions. While children are welcome, please note that the property has not been childproofed, and therefore may not be suitable for those requiring a fully child-safe environment.
Please no pets on the furniture. Do not leave any perishables out at the end of your stay. No smoking anywhere on the property. Please observe quiet hours from 10pm until 7am.

Guests with Children: While children are welcome in our home, please note that the property has not been childproofed. It may not be suitable for very young children or those requiring a child-safe environment. We ask parents to supervise their children closely and accept responsibility for their safety and wellbeing during their stay.

Thank you!

Ok Stay
I stayed here with my two sisters for a quick weekend getaway.The pros: Beds and pillows were comfortable.Apartment was spacious.Parking was fairly easy.Location was pretty good....about a 20 minute walk to most restaurants.The cons:The whole place could have used a deeper cleaning...dust bunnies everywhere!I was worried about street parking and reached out for some guidance and was never responded to. We arrived after 6pm and were not able to find parking on the same street. We found one that wasn't too far away.We rented a VRBO instead of staying in a hotel so that we had the use of a kitchen and few more amenities. The kitchen was NOT well appointed at all. We couldn't even find a bowl large enough to scramble a few eggs in and there was only one cutting knife in the entire kitchen.Overall it was a fine stay but for what we were paying we expected more.

Convenient Apt to downtown
We stayed here for 2 nights on a stop over to Portland. The apartment was very clean and the location was perfect. The neighborhood is cute. The apartment is on the top floor and Maine was having hotter than normal weather, thankfully there were AC units in each bedroom. That was great!

Perfect for our group
We had 5 people staying at this Portland property. It was very clean and the perfect space for 5 of us. I like that they had AC units in each bedroom. It was updated and had all the essentials we needed, including linens and towels which was great because we were coming from NJ so it made it convenient. It was also very close to downtown where all the great restaurants and bars are. I would recommend this property....Thanks David!

Lovely stay at this Portland Palace!
My partner and I traveled with my mom and Aunt to this lovely 3 bedroom in Portland. We were arriving in the area early, so David was able to accommodate us with an early check in. The space was clean, stylish, and very well located!! We loved walking to Tandem Coffee in the morning, getting a 10/10 breakfast sandwich, and then walking down to get a view of the water. Would definitely recommend this space for small groups! David was extremely responsive and attentive to our questions. Looking forward to returning soon!

An honest review
The apartment rental was a good size and roomie enought for seven adults. Bedroom AC was good because the 3rd story dwelling was hot and stuffy. The beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable but the rooms were pretty small. We weren't left enough towels or washcloths for the number of guests registered and didn't have bedding for the roll out bed. But, when called, the property manager responded in minutes and brought everything we needed. The floor boards around the toilet were very soft and rotting causing a moldy smell. Listing the rental as having a "water view" made for great marketing but was deceitful. The water was almost mile and a half away. It was in fact in walking distance but it was hilly and the sidewalks were in very bad shape having bricks uprooted from nearby trees. Off street parking was difficult to find and we drove around for 45 minutes waiting for a spot to open. I think it made for a better apartment to rent if living in Portland and working nearby. We were vacationing and its location wasn't conducive to our tourist needs.
