About this apartment rental
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, plus an awesome sound system that includes a Harmon Kardon 3770 tuner/receiver in the living area to stream your devices, a pair of Paradigm free-standing speakers in the living area, and matching speakers in each bedroom ceiling.
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.

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.

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!

My husband and I stayed at Perceval for our wedding anniversary, and New Year’s Eve. We couldn’t have asked for a better place! The space was clean and comfortable, with all essentials provided. Check in process went smoothly, and the host was quick to respond when we had a question. The location was perfect, walking distance to anything you might need. Stunning views, especially from the cupola! If you are looking for a comfortable stay right in the heart of the old port, this is it! We highly recommend, and hope to return in the future.

This little piece of heaven was everything that we had hoped for and more. Meticulously cleaned and very well stocked. And the view is breathtaking!! We could watch the cruise lines coming and going. If you are longing to visit the beautiful and interesting city of Portland, you won’t find a nicer place than this one.

This was the first time that we rented a vrbo that was exactly as promised, plus a fully well apportioned kitchen with everything we needed: cheese knife(s), knives set with scissors, wine cork screw, many glasses, and plates, etc options...even plastic wine glasses for use on the deck.
The entire management team was accessible and supportive. We stayed during Hurricane Lee and with the help of the team we were prepared for anything...thank goodness there was no loss of power or damage, but the team had the place ready to go just in case.
We would definitely rent this property again or one of the others managed by this team!

Stayed 3 nights in Perceval 6th story condo. Overlooks the waterfront with long views. Convenient to all of Portland. Parking is adjacent and easy to use. Condo itself is spacious with a well equipped kitchen and nice bathrooms. Communication was great. Definitely will return.

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.

An exceptional apartment with an exceptional location in an exceptional part of Maine. We stayed several days and never had to use our car once. A wonderful experience.

Came to Maine to see our son and daughter -in-law. Rental was sunny and right in the center of dining and shopping. Having a parking space was awesome. Would highly recommend

They say Portland is how Maine does a city and Percival is in the heart of it all. It’s a contemporary condo with a big city feel. The unique skylight windows provided a great view of the harbor and islands, and the patio provides the sights, smells and sounds of the waterfront and piers across the street. Bathrooms are a little tight on space, but the high end feel and fixtures more than make up for it. Kitchen is well appointed and open concept.
Reserved parking in the lot across the street was a huge plus with summer crowds, but you wouldn’t even need a car with this location.
Countless restaurants and shops within short walking distance. The almond croissants at Standard Bakery on the weekend were worth the wait.
Communication with the host Scott was very easy and responsive.
Percival is a definite recommend if you’re looking for an urban feel getaway in a convenient location!

Was a bit worried with the price tag, but it was totally worth it. Such a nice apartment and you can't have a better location Portland. Took my wife and kids and everyone was blown away when we walked in and having the terrace is such a nice twist and we even got to watch a quick fireworks display on Saturday from it! Unit itself is immaculate and such a cool loft vibe. Great AC, so no worries about heat from the windows and being on the roof. We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for the wonderful experience you, and “The Percival” penthouse provided for our family! What a great location, with outstanding views from the windows, the deck, and especially the cupola! We enjoyed being within walking distance to dozens of restaurants, bars, and shops! We loved the “modern-rustic”, up to date, and comfortable design! The added bonus of a parking pass provided a hassle-free experience when we went somewhere in the car. We highly recommend this property!

Our 3-night stay in Portland was just right for our young kiddos. The location was perfect for us to walk down to the water or explore the cobblestone streets. Unfortunately it rained most of our stay so we couldn’t do as much exploring on foot as we would have hoped.
Excellent breads and coffee at Standard Baking Co. just down the street.
Beds were comfy, pillows plush. Have already recommended to our friends.

We had a great seven-day stay in the Percival unit. Kitchen was fully equipped and ready for use, a plus that we used on a couple of occasions. But it was also nice to be in the center of town and be able to explore Portland's great food and beer options.
We hope to return.

We were two couples enjoying this gorgeous penthouse in the heart of Portland. There for an opening at Cove Street Arts, we enjoyed a fabulous getaway! Saw the sunrise each morning from the living room, walked every day - great location, very close to bike path, waterfront, restaurants and shops. Extremely clean, nicely decorated, open space, perfect for the four of us. Hosts and staff were most attentive and communicative. We’ll be back!

This is a delightful setting- stunning views and right in the heart of Portland. Amenities are tasteful and comfortable. We hated to leave!

Scott's place is really breathtaking from front to back. You walk in to a living room/kitchen/eating area that has unobstructed, expansive views of the harbor. This picture on the website was very accurate. We spent a lot of time in this area and found ourselves immediately calm watching the winter comings/goings of the traffic on the water. The back bedroom as well had unobstructed views of the downtown area. We loved having the blinds open all day. (Note - be aware that these are not mirrored glass from the outside.)
Everything was extremely clean and well curated and our experience was this was a quiet place to stay. Scott was very responsive when needed on check-in details or recommendations for places to eat.
Would definitely stay here again and loved the city of Porland!
