“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.

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

Location, Location, Location!
The condo is located cross the street from the harbor (and Luke's Lobster restaurant), a block from the ferry terminal, and in the heart of the old port. We walked to everything! The condo was new and architecturally beautiful - appliances, bathrooms, windows. The frosting on the cake was watching the full moon through the bank of windows facing the harbor!

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.

Well designed to maximize space, this penthouse is luxurious and distinctive. We enjoyed having the option of a deck or a cupola. Terrific view from the cupola and great people watching (and seagull colonies to observe!) Location cannot be better. Communication and flexibility of the host first class. Easy access through simple codes and clear instructions.
