Spectacular Views & Comforts of Home in Portland s Most Desirable Neighborhood

Windows with massive water & city views from the kitchen, dining and living areas, and 360 degrees from your private roof deck. Enjoy Portland's bustling harbor over your morning joe or evening glass of wine. Stroll the East End, w/our gorgeous Eastern Promenade, excellent restaurants, grocers, baked goods, coffee. Take a short walk downtown to shop in the Old Port, and choose from all of Portland's award-winning restaurants. Like to cook? Fully equipped kitchen!

This private apartment is a wonderful space for a couple, two couples or small family exploring Portland. The master bedroom has a new queen bed, and there's a second sleeping space available for extra guests in the living room where a comfortable futon easily folds down to accommodate two.

The East End is Portland’s ‘little Brooklyn’, the hip neighborhood just a short walk into the Old Port or downtown. Our neighborhood is home to our huge park the Eastern Prom, East End Beach, the waterfront walking/biking/running trail, the Observatory, the 4th of July fireworks, the summer concerts in the gazebo, as well as some of Portland’s favorite restaurants & markets.

There’s off-street parking for one car & plentiful free street parking right out your door. We recommend walking (10-20 mins depending on destination) or taking a 3-5 minute Uber if heading into town for dinner.
HOUSE RULES

Part of the charm of our spaces are their locations on quiet tree lined streets on the East End. Out of respect for our neighbors, other guests, and for us - all guests are required to agree to a few simple rules.

NO BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE WEEKENDS
Unfortunately bachelor/bachelorette groups have caused too many disturbances of the peace for our other guests and neighbors in the past. Bookings confirmed before 7/22/24 will be honored but strict adherence to all House Rules is required. If your group disturbs the peace you can be charged a noise fee starting at $100.

WEDDING GUESTS
Please pay close attention to the Quiet Hours and noise fee! We have had many problems with guests returning from a wedding and disturbing the peace, whether by loud voices in the apartment or in the street during Quiet Hours, or by slamming doors, or playing loud music.

ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES OR EVENTS ON OUR PROPERTIES

NOTE TO THE PERSON BOOKING YOUR GROUP:
As the booking guest, you are our only contact for your group. PLEASE ACCEPT that you are responsible for the behavior of everyone in your party. Please make sure everyone in your group is has read and accepted these rules.



GENERAL HOUSE RULES FOR ALL GUESTS

QUIET HOURS 10pm to 7am
When returning from an evening out, you and your guests are required to so so QUIETLY. That also means when approaching the house from the street - please do not shout at each other, slam doors, belt out a song (we are being specific here because these are things that have happened a lot in the past).

Music, TV, and voices must be at normal levels at all times

Guests who disregard quiet hours such that any other guests or neighbors are disrupted may be charged a noise fee starting at $100

No open flames or candles

Please remove shoes inside

Please do not cut directly on the kitchen counters - use the cutting boards provided

NO SMOKING in the building, on any decks, or on the front or rear steps or entryways


DECKS
Please do not bring glassware (use plastic or acrylic instead), indoor furniture, or any of our bedding onto decks

Children are not allowed on decks unless attended by a responsible mature adult at all times
No sitting or leaning on deck railings
Never climb over railings onto the roof for any reason
Absolutely no smoking on any decks

BIKES
We welcome pedalers. Please do not bring bikes inside the building without express permission. Any marks left on walls will mean an extra cleaning or damage fee. Lock your bike to your car’s rack if available or feel free to use our bike racks. Racks are located behind the house (for guests at 70 Waterville Street) or in the courtyard (for guests at 62 Monument Street).

PETS
Our pet rules come from experiencing many different styles of pet parenting. We’ve had to become progressively more strict. Please understand we are animal lovers first, and we often travel with our dog.

Our apartments are not daycare or boarding facilities. We REQUIRE that pets are taken care of in a way that prioritizes the pet, as well as the safety and peace of our other guests and neighbors. Please read all of the following rules and respond with your agreement to abide by all. Include the age, breed, name and temperament of your pet as well.

RULES FOR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS

We love dogs and understand fear is a common reason for aggression - but we have a responsibility to other guests and neighbors, and we have insurance requirements. Therefore we do not accept aggressive dogs.

LEASH LAW
Dogs must be kept on leash when entering and exiting the property, and in all public places except where explicitly permitted.

ANXIETY AND NOISE
We have lots of experience with anxiety in pets. Anxious pets, left alone, are suffering, plain and simple, and we can’t allow that under our roofs for any amount of money. If you hope to bring your pet, he or she is expected to be a seasoned traveler, and remain quiet and calm when on our property.

If you intend to leave your pet alone in the apartment, we expect that you have experience leaving them alone in a strange place, and they’ve been able to remain calm and comfortable. You may leave your pet alone in our apartments for a maximum of two hours. After two hours you must return home and give them a break/walk/visit.

If your pet does make ongoing noise, we will call you. You will be REQUIRED to return to your apartment immediately to take care of your pet. You may be charged a noise fee of $100.

You MUST MONITOR YOUR PHONE, LEAVE YOUR PHONE ON, WITH RINGER VOLUME UP, AT ALL TIMES, whether you are in the apartment with your pet or having dinner out.

PUPPIES & CRATES
Crate-trained and fully house-trained puppies (up to 12 months old) are welcome, but may not be left alone in the space at all, and a crate is required.

Crates for adult dogs are not required but are strongly encouraged. We know from experience that crates not only prevent unwanted behaviors but they also provide security when in a strange place.

POTTY BREAKS
The courtyard and garden areas of our properties are off limits for potty breaks. Please take a nice stroll through our beautiful neighborhood instead. If you would like ideas for excursions with your dog, just ask! We would love to share our favorite dog-friendly spots with you. You can place pickup bags in the square black trash barrels located on the trash platform on the right side of our 62 Monument Street building.

BEDDING & FURNITURE
Please bring your pet’s bedding. Please keep pets off of the furniture. If your pet simply can’t be kept off furniture, please bring blankets to protect our furniture.

PET FEE
Pet fee: $50 pet fee per reservation for up to two pets for stays up to 4 nights. For longer stays, the pet fee is $50 per pet. The pet fee supports the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and Portland Trails, two local organizations instrumental in animal welfare and outdoor access for dogs. You can pay the fee via Venmo (Kathy-Palmer)

DAMAGE OR EXTRA CLEANING
Just like anywhere else...any damage to our apartment or furnishings by your furry one will result in a damage fee to cover the cost of repair or replacement.

FINAL WORD
If you’ve read all of the above please let us know by agreeing to abide by all the rules and providing the pet’s name, breed, age and temperament along with the word ‘woof’ in your message.
