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!

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.
