Beautiful and authentic Victorian home. Original stained glass windows, woodwork and details. Meticulously clean and cared for. Beds are so comfy. Completely stocked kitchen and bath. Living room has great seating, fireplace and flat screen tv. Wifi, books and games too. Personable hosts are on site and cared for us like family. Ask about the pet friendly apartment. We will book again and again. The Captain Taylor House is like staying at your favorite Grammie's with all the modern touches and steps away from town.

We loved our stay in Camden! Beautiful house! Very clean! Very friendly hosts who responded quickly to any questions we had. Easy walk to town. Close to so many attractions. We loved coming home each day to "home".

The house is an easy walk from town, has a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals, and a nice covered porch to sit on with your coffee and greet the day. We had a lovely time!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The unit was spacious and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with with dining/cooking implements. The only thing we were missing was an oyster knife, which we gifted the house upon leaving! The location was an easy walk to everything in downtown Camden. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Our stay was just lovely, beautiful Victorian home that is spotless and comfortable. All we needed was provided, the location was as advertised as a 5-7 min walk to downtown, which was so much better than driving down and trying to find a place to park. The July 4th week was the perfect week to be there, weather was great. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We were surprise how much space and how well stocked the place was. We also enjoyed the short walk to Camden to for shops, restaurants, groceries, and the harbor.

You will LOVE this home! A charming old victorian, but updated with modern amenities. It's roomy and was perfect for our family with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths.
Jenn, the owner has stocked the kitchen with everything you will need! Jenn and her husband are lovely people and live upstairs in the home. They have put together the most thorough and informational guest book that I've ever seen in a rental, including best beaches, top things to see while visiting, what to do on a rainy day, and other things.
We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and walking into Camden (about a 5 minute walk) for breakfast, lunch, or shopping. This house is immaculate. You will not be disappointed! We will be staying here again. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

Capt. Smith was perfect! The location to the shops, restaurants, and the harbor could not have been better. The house was clean and spacious. Jen has done an exceptional job of stocking the house with anything you need. I would recommend this house to anyone needing 3 bedrooms nd 2 baths.

Capt. Smith is a great apartment for a solo traveler, several couples, or a small family. The location near downtown Camden can't be beat, close to restaurants and shops, but in a quiet neighborhood . Jen and Eric have ensured a hassle-free stay with all the comforts of home supplied for your convenience. I don't think there's a single thing you'd need to augment the kitchen essentials to cook for a family. Weather permitting, the porch is a wonderful place to relax in the afternoon reading or sip a glass of wine in the evening. Thank you, Jen, for being so accessible and ready to help; and thank you, Eric, for your service and love of country. I appreciate it very much. Hope to see you both again soon. Kathy

The Capt Smith rental had everything we wanted for our Maine stay- delightful hosts, perfect location, beautiful furnishings, quiet although within walking distance to Camden Center - we loved it!!!

We had a wonderful time during our 3 week stay at Captain Smith in July 2022. The property description is absolutely accurate. Having enjoyed Camden during one day visits on previous trips to Maine we were very diligent in searching VRBO for a place convenient to downtown and all it offers (a very short walk away) as well as a place we could relax and plan our day tips exploring the Mid Coast area. Breakfasts on the porch were perfect for that. Also used the grill on the porch for several meals reflecting on the day. Captain Smith was a great choice. Jen and Erik were wonderful hosts; timely answering what few inquiries we had.

This was the perfect spot for our time in Camden. Short walk to all the shops, waterfront, and hiking but removed from the traffic of the main strip. Host was great, and house comfortably accommodated 6. Will be back next year!

Capt Smith
We very much liked our home vacation rental. I sat in the living room in the morning with the sun coming through the stained glass windows. The whole house was really nice. We enjoyed walking to town and exploring the area. We would love to go back again. It was wonderful. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Jen and Erik have created a wonderful place to stay while visiting Camden Maine. The VRBO nicknamed Captain Smith is spacious, very clean, the kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need for a one week stay, and the living room is a great place to relax after a day of exploring the area. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry room are all very well appointed. Jen provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. If you like hiking moderate to difficult hikes, the Mount Battie trail is a great hike you can take right from Captain Smith without driving. Also, we walked everywhere around Camden from Captain Smith without worrying about driving and finding a parking space. It’s that close, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Camden. Jen and Erik are wonderful hosts and we want to thank them very much for our wonderful one week stay at Captain Smith! We look forward to our next stay sometime soon!

Great Week in Camden
The owners have created a top-notch rental property. Accommodations were so complete, we were left wanting nothing. The home is tastefully decorated and very, very comfortable. The location is perfect ... within walking distance to all downtown activity. The owners are friendly and committed to making great vacation memories for their guests. If we visit Camden again, this will be our choice for accommodations.

Wonderful Apartment in Camden, Maine
Captain Smith’s is one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed in. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and super comfortable! Jen thought of every little detail- down to the bowl of mini peppermint patties in the living room! She even set up a Christmas tree for us! We loved sitting in front of the cozy fireplace, reading our books or watching tv, and appreciated the well-equipped farmhouse kitchen, easy parking, and short 5-minute walk to downtown Camden.
Jen & Eric were warm and welcoming and super responsive to our needs. I hope I get the chance to stay at Captain Smith again.

Amazing and so much more!
First off, have to say that Jen and Erik are the absolute best hosts, both super accommodating and nice! Their attention to detail in the Capt Smith went above and beyond all expectations. Their place is beautiful, super comfortable and is so welcoming and well stocked that you feel at home as soon as you walk in! I hope to be able to return someday! It was just a quick five minite walk to town, the quaintest little town in Maine! The harbor is so beautiful. Don't miss dinner at The Waterfront!
5.0
Excellent in every respect!
This was our third stay at Capt Smith, the second since Jen and Eric took over. We love it and it has only gotten better each year. Convenience to town and the waterfront is ideal - not so close as to be impacted by crowds, but an easy walk to shops and restaurants.
House is extremely well equipped, every kitchen item and basic you could hope for. Even coffee, tea and accompaniments.
Jen and Eric are very gracious, responsive and friendly. You really feel you are guests in their home. They have three lovely daughters, two big dogs, three cats and an evolving number of chickens! They are always available (they live upstairs) when you need them, but very quiet and not at all intrusive.
I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. We’ll be back.

Capt Smith house was fantastic!
Jen and Eric made our stay more than we ever could have imagined! Their attention to detail ensured that we had everything we needed. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 4; 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The house was located close to town so we could easily walk to all of the stores and restaurants. Jen and Eric were very friendly and so helpful in answering our questions. They provided a binder with tons of information about the area as well as ideas for rainy day activities. We are looking forward to a return trip to Capt Smith!

Great apartment!
My sister, 2 (adult) nieces and I stayed here for "Girls Weekend". It was the perfect space, everything you might need, decorated lovely, beds comfortable. What more could you ask for? Eric and Jen, the owners who live upstairs, were there to help if needed but not intrusive. The layout would be perfect for 2 couples.
Camden is a great small town . It is right on the water with nice shops and restaurants. Also short distance to other coastal Maine towns, like Belfast ,Rockland.

A warm, inviting gem of a home in the heart of Camden. A beautiful place to stay.
We had a short vacation stay in Camden in October 2017 and found this wonderful property that felt just like home. The house has three separate living areas. We rented the 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment on the lower level of the house. There is another apartment on the lower level as well and the owners occupy their home upstairs. Jen and Eric (the owners) greeted us the night we arrived and we invited them in for a glass of wine. We got to know each other and immediately felt comfortable with our choice of vacation home. The apartment has all the amenities you need. It is beautifully kept up and in pristine condition. We started our days with coffee and lobster rolls eaten in the quaint kitchen or on the home's beautiful side porch. Just a short walk to town (about 2 blocks) brought us to the Camden Deli where we ordered our lobster rolls every morning for breakfast. We spent each day seeing the wonderful sights from Bar Harbor to Boothbay Harbor and returned every night to this wonderful property. If we had had more time, we would have cooked some fresh lobsters at the house. There is a grill on the porch and stockpots (or whatever you need) in the kitchen. We wanted to do this on our last night and invite Jen and Eric to join us but we got home too late from our excursion for that day. We absolutely will be back in Camden in the near future (this was our 9th trip) and will plan on staying at this beautiful home once again. If you are planning a trip to Maine, check to see if this property is available and book it. You will enjoy every aspect of your vacation home! It is truly your home away from home. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I definitely would! It is a fantastic place to stay.

Lovely property centrally located
Our ladies group used this apt as homebase for our daily excursions north and south coastally. The kitchen is large with a table in the middle where we visited each evening. Camden is the sweetest little town with manageable traffic. (You get your own parking lot at this property.) We hope to return. 🏘
