About this property

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.

Peaceful Staycation

I live in Maine, only about 20 minutes from Portland, but my two best friends live a few hours away, in opposite directions. We met here with no other plans aside from spending quality time together. We crocheted, played board games, and walked the dogs around the eastern prom. The weather was terrible the whole weekend, but it did not dampen our spirits! We had everything we needed, including a French press! I was so grateful to find this dog friendly spot for us, thanks so much!

Location, location, location!

Enjoyed this Portland get-away, just minutes from everything we wanted to see! Property manager’s communications were excellent during our stay. The parking spaces were convenient. While we did not need to bring our fur baby, it should be noted that pets are asked to be walked to the park area down the block to do their business instead of using the fenced yard.

Very Cute, Great Location

The house was very cute and had everything one needs. The lockbox is very low on the outside porch. It was difficult to see and open but with the help of the neighbor we were able to get it opened. Other than that everything was great. Great Location and very enjoyable area of Portland.

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!

Great Location - Charming Home

Charming home in quiet neighborhood. For us the location was perfect - two blocks from the ocean on the Eastern Prom. Enjoyed outdoor activity (jogging/walking the surrounding trails) and the beautiful sunrises and autumn foliage while also within walking distance to the bustling Old Port restaurants, shopping and tours. Highly recommend.

Great location

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
