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.

Cute little getaway

This property was perfect for our visit; 5m walk to the eastern promenade, 5m to The Front Room, and a super short drive to the Old Port. There was plenty of space in the apartment, and a cute little yard with a patio and fire pit (which we didn’t use because of the rain), as well as easy access to the neighborhood for walking dogs. The owner was very easy to get in contact with, and the neighbors were super nice.

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!

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.

Feel like a local!

This was a great place in a nice neighborhood. The house had everything we could need to feel like home. It was great to have parking and a place dog could stay with us. Just a block away is a wonderful park with a beautiful view.
