“Percival” Penthouse Suite: Breathtaking Views, Cupola, Parking!

2023 City of Portland Registration #20182242-ST

Fall in love with Portland in your very own private, top-floor penthouse suite on Commercial Street with stunning views of the cityscape and harbor.

Watch the cruise ships from your very own cupola while taking in the sunrise or sunset with a fresh cup of coffee or glass of bubbly from the 7th floor. You will not be disappointed.

This renovated 1850's former warehouse located right next to the Custom House offers a mix of luxury + comfort, contemporary + old-world charm.

Walk 100 steps across the street and drape your legs over the marina dock while having your morning coffee and looking at the boats. The popular Casco Bay Ferry to the islands is also within view and a brief walk away. It’s the perfect location to walk around Portland. It doesn’t get better than this.

Buy the freshest seafood in town right across the street, fresh off the boats. Cook for your family in your well-stocked contemporary kitchen, with everything you might need for light breakfasts, take-in meals, and a relaxing night of home-cooked dinner and cable TV.

Favorite amenities and features include exposed bricks throughout, stainless appliances, oversized leather sectional, TV’s in both bedrooms.

Very safe and secure. Two security cameras in common hallway by elevator. Parking pass for one car included for the lot next door. Leave your car and walk everywhere.

Right out your door is the best of Portland: Starbucks - 60 second walk, the award-winning Standard Baking bakery + Fore Street Restaurant – 2 mins. away. The Famous Dimillos floating restaurant -across the street. The renowned donut shop The Holy Donut - a 2 minute walk. This might be the best-located vacation rental in all of Portland.

Looking for relaxation? We’ve got you covered, from the very comfortable beds with high quality white linens to the deep soaking tub with floor-to-ceiling windows to the luxury custom-tiled walk-in showers. It’s all in the details.

This is a very special place.

Whole Foods + Trader Joes are just a 5 minute car ride. Better yet, leave your car in the complementary parking lot across the street and walk everywhere.

Great for a family vacation, tourists without car, age 55+, or a romantic getaway. An excellent alternative to a hotel stay.

For an unrivaled view better than any hotel, with privacy and security that is unmatched, choose the Percival Suites from The Watch, your go-to destination when in Portland. If the Percival is booked, please check out our other listing, the Margaret Suite @The Watch.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you.

Beautiful 2 bedroom with view in Portland Maine
The property is comfortable, convenient, and has parking in old port, Portland, Maine. I enjoyed the stay and i will come back again. The weather was beautiful and the balcony was a welcome addition to the property. The view of the wharf was great.

Top of the Old Port!
Percival was awesome! We truly felt like we were at the best location in the Old Port. The main room windows looking out to the harbor are amazing. Really enjoyed everything about our stay and the penthouse. Owner quickly answered our questions and helped make the visit much easier. Thanks for sharing this great space! Cheers

Great location, pricey
The Percival was perfect for attending a wedding on Peak's Island, as the ferry stop was a five minute walk across the street. So many shops and restaurants all around within minutes of walking. The deck and lookout view of the water, boats, and docks is amazing. We enjoyed sitting in the lookout with the windows open. The location made the expensive price worth it for a special occasion.

I’m from Portland and this by far is the best location for people who are visiting. You are walking distance to everything worth visiting downtown and a quick drive to the airport. Place has a great view from the patio on top of everything else.

Amazing location, amazing views!
This is a great place in the heart of Old Port, and it was an great stay. The location is unbeatable, with lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The piers are right across the street, too. The apartment itself has amazing views (including a cupola!). If it wasn't foggy during our stay, I'd imagine the sunrises would be incredible. And the bedroom has great views of downtown. And the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. Long ramble short, stay here!
