Charming 2-bedroom steps from the Eastern Promenade

Portland's East End has the charm of a small town, amazing views of the ocean, delicious restaurants, and is just a short walk into town. Enjoy it all from this sun-filled, lovingly maintained duplex at the top of Munjoy Hill. Relax in the lush backyard, spend the day at East End Beach or walk into town for a night out. This is a great place to enjoy all that Portland and Maine has to offer in the summer.

This duplex was built in the 1850's as one of the first houses at the top of Munjoy Hill. Each side feels like its own single-family home with its own entrance, first floor living room/kitchen with deck off the back, and second floor bedrooms and bathroom. No noisy neighbors stomping around above you in a duplex. You'll still feel the history in the short basement (if you do laundry), but the rest of the house has been updated to modern standards.

Great location! Perfect size for a family!
The location was absolutely perfect - close to the promenade and like a 5 minute drive to the heart of Portland. Nice neighborhood feel. Brought our dog - space was perfect for her - cute little yard in the back. Parking space is perfect as well. Rooms were cozy and clean. Beds super comfortable. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Property is located in an excellent neighborhood. Getting in and out of the parking spot is sketchy when The neighbor is parked in front of his garage. Well stocked with paper products and cooking utensils getting luggage up and down the steps was a bit of a challenge. Great neighbors

Weekend Getaway
I enjoyed our stay here on a mini-weekend getaway with a couple of my older sons. The house was super clean and easy to find. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors introduced themselves to us as we were arriving - offering to help us with anything we might need while we were there. There's private parking in the back, but we also didn't have much trouble finding on-street parking in the area either. The house had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay (not that we spent a whole lot of time there as we explored the City). Would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to Portland! Five stars!

Great location
We were so happy with our stay. Only the 3rd time we have traveled with our rescue dog. Having the backyard was great! So much fun walking down by the water. Within walking distance to get to all of our favorite places and found new spots. Easy check in and out process. Definitely would recommend.

We loved our getaway to Portland. We were visiting for a college friends wedding, and it was a perfect home base. I loved how close we were to the ocean/eastern prom and would often bring my coffee there int he mornings! Would stay again.

10/10 Stay!
My spouse and I stayed for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. There was excellent communication leading up to the stay and upon arrival the unit was spotless! Possibly the cleanest stay we’ve ever had. The appliances were new and very nice. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable. We did visit during a very hot week in Maine and thankfully the air conditioner worked well in the bedroom. On hot days it does get a bit warm downstairs because there is no air conditioner, but not an issue for us because we didn’t spend much time in the house. As for the location, it is in an excellent location…a close walk to everything and a nice grassy area just down the road for the dogs. The street is very quiet and feels safe. There is a parking spot in the driveway but also plenty of parking on the road. Lastly - an added bonus that the neighbor is super friendly and Percy is the cutest and friendliest corgi we’ve ever met! 10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

Great Spot Near East End Promenade
Great location near the Eastern Promenade and beach, easily walkable to Wharf Street, Congress Street, and other parts of the city. We loved the off street parking and fenced back yard, perfect for dog owners looking to enjoy Portland.

Perfect for a weekend away- would stay again!
We were very cozy here and would stay again! Everything was exactly as pictured- even better than pictured actually, you can really see the historic character and cozy vibe of the place in person. It was our first overnight trip with our 8 month old, and this was perfect for my husband and I, our baby, my mother in law and our two dogs. The location is fantastic- half a block from the water, close to great neighborhood restaurants and the Eastern Prom, and about a 20 minute walk downtown. One thing to keep in mind- the bedroom with the skylights gets very bright once the sun rises- so if you need a darker room to sleep in- choose the other bedroom.

Favorite Stay in Portland
We travel to Portland several times a year and Vesper is always my first go to. Jocelyn is a fabulous host and communication with her is is flawless. Located in beautiful Munjoy Hill it’s a stones throw from the water and quaint restaurants and bakeries. Five stars all around!

House on the hill
This was a great location just steps from the Eastern Promenade. The house was very comfortable for three adults and our dog. We enjoyed being able to walk most places we wanted to go. The couch and beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host responded quickly when we needed the nest thermostat reprogrammed for the colder weather. We would love to come back and experience Portland in the warmer weather!

My friend and I loved the place and didn’t want to leave. I wanted to steal my blanket - the bed was so comfy! Only complaint is I lost hot water in the shower on the last day but the cold water woke me up 😉 Thank you!

Second time staying here and we loved it again. It is clean, inviting and homey, and the owner is quick to respond, no matter what. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, and the view of Casco Bay from the Eastern Prom is just wonderful. You can walk pretty much everywhere in Portland from here, which is my favorite thing to do. Would definitely recommend it.
