Always wonderful with everything you need. *****

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.

Beautiful house

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!

Plenty of space and walkable to downtown

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.

Wonderful

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jen

My husband, Erik, and I, moved to Camden from Florida in 2016. Immediately, we fell in love with Camden and the beautiful surrounding area, so much so that we decided to make the life-changing decision to relocate our family here. Erik retired from the US Air Force, so the move here really has been a lifestyle change as well as a life-changing one. I am British and Camden really offers a home-from-home "English" feel. The history of our house is an interesting one - the previous owners bought the house in 1996. It had been empty and neglected for the previous three years before that. Our whole home, which we call 'Capt Taylor', had been originally built by a sea captain in 1903 and it has now been lovingly restored into a beautiful family home. 'Capt Smith' is the name given to our vacation rental apartment.

Why they chose this property

The proximity to town and its amenities was one of the major reasons for choosing to buy this house. Camden is a bustling little town with lots of things going on all year. We want our home to feel like your home while you're here.

What makes this property unique

This a 'home-away-from-home' place to stay!
You'll love a leisurely walk to the harbor for breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of Camden's many fine restaurants, a sunset cruise on a schooner and afterwards relaxing on your front porch with a glass of wine. For those looking for a more energetic vacation, we have Mt Battie on our doorstep with great hiking trails. And not having to drive and find somewhere to park is truly a great benefit.
