“Margaret” Penthouse Suite: Casco Bay views, right in the Old Port. Parking!

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 heated bathroom floors, exposed bricks throughout, Bosch stainless appliances, oversized leather sectional, TV’s in both bedrooms, plus an awesome sound system that includes a Harmon Kardon 3770 tuner/receiver in the living area to stream your devices, a pair of Paradigm free-standing speakers in the living area, and matching speakers in each bedroom ceiling.

Very safe and secure. Two security cameras in common hallway by elevator. Parking pass for one car included for the lot next door. Leave your car and walk everywhere.

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. If the Margaret Suite is booked, please check out our other listing, the Percival Suite @The Watch.

Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

Another great stay at Margaret Penthouse
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.

Gorgeous penthouse apartment! Great location in Portland Old Port. In wonderful location, lots of shops and restaurants. Only minus is that the master bath intrudes into the master bedroom. Issue of privacy.

We highly recommend “Margaret”. The unit was absolutely stunning with such beautiful views! It’s just the right size for 2 couples, and the location is walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops. The condo was very clean and had everything you could need. Scott & Karen were wonderful hosts. They were very responsive and accommodating. We look forward to another stay with them!

Great spot for a long weekend!
Beautiful place. Everything was stunning. Only drawbacks are ventilation in the front bedroom- with the door closed at night it was super stuffy as it doesn’t have any outward facing windows or air vents. Also the back bedroom was noisy facing an alley- but if you aren’t a super light sleeper it’s not so bad. The windows and lighting was wonderful too.

Location can't be beat
If you want to splurge and have a get away on Portland's waterfront, this location is as good as it gets. Views from the penthouse suite are constantly changing. A fully equipped kitchen makes eating in a practical option if you have over done it on lobster rolls and donuts. Parking is conveniently provided in nearby lot. We hope to come back someday.
