Panoramic Water, Island & City Views w/Private Roof Deck

We call our beautiful 3rd floor apartment ‘The Crow’s Nest’ not only because of the circular staircase that leads up to your private roof deck, but the whole apartment feels like a nest in the tree tops. From the kitchen/dining area and sun seat, you will see dramatic views of the ocean, islands, harbor and city. We are almost at the very top of Munjoy Hill, Portland’s hip East End community.

The apartment is beautiful and thoughtfully and artfully appointed with a nod toward jazz lovers….there’s a record player and some classic jazz vinyl. Or connect your device with the Bluetooth speakers and play whatever you’d like. The bedroom is a gracious size with plenty of room for lounging on the velvet couch. The bed is dressed with crisp white sheets, lots of fluffy pillows, quilt & duvet. If you have work to do, you’ll enjoy the spacious antique desk in the living room. Extra guests will find the modern convertible sofa in the living room spacious and comfortable.

Plenty of fluffy cotton towels and all the basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, razors, tampons, first aid kit) stock the bathroom. In the kitchen, you’ll find fresh local coffee, tea, cream, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, sea salt and pepper grinder, and many basic spices.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Casco Bay. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, balcony and sofa bed
  • Free WiFi
  • Steps from Casco Bay and Portland Observatory
Panoramic Water, Island & City Views w/Private Roof Deck offers its guests a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Amazing stay!

We had an amazing stay in Portland! The apartment is just as advertised - private, clean, and walking distance to all the great restaurants downtown. There were plenty of towels/linens, TV had everything we needed, and bathroom/shower was well stocked. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and made sure to check in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. We love Portland!

Comfort, style and a quiet view.

The neighborhood is residential and respectfully quiet. We enjoyed exploring Portland and the surrounding area by day, returning to the comforts of a spacious apartment for the night. The apartment has everything you need or didn't know you needed. It's super clean!! The nook and view has great morning and evening light. It's hard to walk by without a stop. There were surprises around every corner, from the clawfoot tub to the comfortable lounge. We appreciated the comfort and care by owners. Communication was top-notch! I highly recommend!

Wanted to check out Portland

Thoroughly enjoyed Crow’s Nest. The roof top deck and its view is an exceptional benefit to a very nicely decorated and comfortable apartment. Very generously and thoughtfully appointed with all you might need in the kitchen and bath. Even the bedroom vanity has a magnifying mirror! Walking distance to neighborhood restaurants and the Old Port as well as bike riding the Eastern Promenade. Convenient street parking. Would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to check out Portland

Best rental in Portland

By far the best rental we’ve stayed at in Portland, Maine. The rental itself was very clean, decor was stylish and tasteful and someone had left a few cold beverages in the fridge that was very welcomed after a long drive! The bedroom was quite comfortable, probably the best mattress I’ve slept on in a rental! The views are breathtaking and the neighborhood is so walkable to everything. We were traveling with our young son (age 22 months) and everything was perfect for the 3 of us!

Great Spot

The Crows Nest is an awesome place to stay! We had trouble saying goodbye to the comfortable, welcoming and clean space. We had everything we needed and more. Location was great, lovely little neighborhood with coffee shops in walking distance! Amazing views and our pup loved the window seat nook off the kitchen! We will be back again!!!
