Fall in Maine

The four of us had a great stay in Camden. We could walk into town and the harbor anytime, or go exploring up and down the coast. The first floor apartment is roomy, very clean and very comfortable. We loved seeing the chickens in the backyard.

Outstanding Accommodations

The Captain Smith apartment is ideally located for visiting Camden and other Maine seacoast locations. The walk into town is about 2 blocks yet the house is well away from the fray. The apartment was spotlessly clean and fully supplied with everything you might need during your stay. We have already booked this accommodation for next year.

Charming house

My family has stayed in this house for two years, and we've found it to be a great play to vacation. I love walking into town in the early morning to get a bagel and NYT. My daughter loves taking her little boy to the children's room at the library.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely Wonderful!

This is hands down, the best place my family has ever stayed! The house is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for a family. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need. By far, the most well equipped rental home we've ever stayed in. The street the house is on basically turns into Main St. through downtown Camden just a short distance from the house. My kids walked it easily a few times a day. Downtown Camden is an absolute gem. It has all the charm of a resort town without the cheesiness. There is so much to do in town, we didn't even accomplish everything in a week! Thank you so much for your hospitality and we can't wait to come back! Hopefully soon!

Short Walk to Camden

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!

Perfect Getaway

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

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.

Great Experience

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.

Absolutely Wonderful!

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!

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.
