Location and view are perfect!
Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) had an amazing stay at the Camden Harborfront Loft over 4th of July week. The location in downtown Camden is perfect for shopping, resturants and harbor excursions. It was also central for day trips up and down the coast. The loft itself was perfect for our family and the deck overlooking the harbor made for an epic viewing of fireworks over the harbor. We thoroughly enjoyed the harbor and waterfall view, not to mention soothing sound of rushing water. The space itself was appointed as stated in the listing and adequate. I highly recommend the Camden Harborfront Loft.

Great location!
The apartment was neat and clean when we arrived. It is located right next to a lovely park, where we could walk our dog every day. Great views of the harbor. Close to shops and restaurants. Parking was occasionally a problem, but not too difficult. Since it's right on the main street, traffic could be noisy, but didn't seem to bother us much.

Best space in downtown Camden!!!
The Harborfront Loft is all about location, location. The loft is equipped with beautiful décor including stunning view of the Camden Harbor from the back deck – perfect for morning coffee! Really makes you feel at home!! Perfectly located in downtown Camden. The loft offers short walks to everything Camden’s oceanfront town has to offer! Chris was great and helped with any questions we had and offered direction with his recommendations for food, local attractions, etc. House has been maintained well and the cleaners did a great job! We couldn’t have asked for a better MidCoast getaway and look forward to coming back next year!!!

This property is way over priced. You can go a block away and stay for half the price. You may give up a harbor view but you also give up the view of the roof tops of many of the commercial businesses in downtown Camden. The street noise from the vehicular traffic particularly the tractor trailer rigs is not pleasant.. The front door had a pretty bad sticking problem that you had to bump hard with your hip to get into the steep stairwell. I was concerned about the access code on the security lock. Not sure if it was changed from one guest to the next. It was an electro mechanical lock that has to be manually changed. Also, the glass sliding door going onto the deck, the lock was not working. The dryer had a damp bed spread in it and the washer had a bed spread and bed linens in it that that had not been washed. My wife completed these task, folded and placed on top of the bed in the street side bedroom. WE purchased washing pods to wash the towels we used per the "Rules" for guest. There were no coffee filters for the Hamilton Beach coffee maker. We purchased the correct cone shaped filters for the coffee maker. I will not stay at the Camden Harbor Loft again. The overall rating of three stars is generous. South Carolina Guest

Camden Fun
The location is absolutely perfect! The view from the back deck is gorgeous and we loved listening to the sounds of the waterfall. So convenient to walk to the harbor, shops and restaurants. Parking really was not an issue, we parked a block away in the library lot overnight, and right in front of the apartment a few times during the day. We had everything we needed for a great week with our best friends!

Fab Location, Many Issues for the Price
Arrival is stressful. There is no confirmed parking spot with the unit; therefore, your only choice is to park a few blocks away and carry all of your belongings to the unit and then up the stairs—unless you're lucky enough to snag a close parking spot, but Camden is busy. Upon arrival, we could see that the unit was NOT clean. The outdoor entrance was filthy. There was noticeable dirt and dog hair everywhere. The bathtub, kitchen sink, floors, deck, and deck cushions were also dirty. For the amount they charge the renter for cleaning, the owners are definitely not getting their money's worth. But, the worst part of all was that the master bathtub was clogged all week. We were standing in 3-inches of water every time we showered. Looking at past reviews, we noticed this has been a problem as far back as 2018—and obviously, has not been addressed! :( On vacation, I look forward to a nice hot bath and there was NO WAY you could have sat and relaxed in that nasty tub. They do not show pictures of the bathrooms on the site, and that's because they are very small, subpar, and lack luxury. We took Clorox wipes and wiped everything down ourselves. As we were planning our trip to Camden, we had plans to cook in the vrbo. We thought it was awesome that the place had a grill, full kitchen, etc. We arrived to find that there is a procedure to follow in order to use the stove. The grill hasn't been cleaned in ages. The kitchen sink was gross. The trash situation wasn't ideal. In taking out the trash, all would have been fine except the trash was stockpiled out beside the unit and no one had followed the 'yellow bag rule' except for us. Needless to say, we ate out the entire trip and didn't use the kitchen and 'amenities.' Another disappointment was the washer. No matter what setting you put it on (we explored) BOILING HOT water washed your clothes every time. If you were not standing at the washer when the cycle finished, it would lock the door and repeat the cycle AGAIN. It ruined two of my dad's Under Armour shirts/short sets. The unit was HOT! A portable air conditioner was not sufficient. The pillows and towels were old and ragged. The positives were definitely the location, view of the harbor, the park next door, decent beds, and cute decor. It was pretty disappointing for the price we paid.

Smoke and Mirrors
A lot of Issues - you’ve been warned. Chris isn’t very responsive, likes to deflect, wants to blame the renter for his shortcomings, and is definitely not updating his rental. * Smells like cigarette smoke (off and on all week) * vacuum cleaner broken *bed pillows are yellow due to years of tenant sweat * AC is only in living room (place is hot) * Washing machine uses hot water when cold is selected (ruined $100’s of lululemon’s) * Bathroom door doesn’t close (rear) * Mold on baseboards in bathroom * Stairs are filthy * Baseboards are filthy * Kitchenette is poorly stocked * No proper grilling tools * Oven lights 30% of the time. Cost us $100 in unused frozen food * Unit is dirty. Like the knobs on the stove haven’t been cleaned… like ever. Dog hair on floor. Dog hair on stairs. * A thin transparent drape on the windows of the bathrooms and bedrooms? It’s uncomfortable to even change let alone sleep past 5am. * A thin curtain separates the bathroom and a restaurant patio making it odd to use the restroom * Downstairs business is a psychic palm reader not Camden Cotton * Beds are very uncomfortable * No parking near unit (nearly impossible to unpack on arrival or get your groceries in) Basically, the place was a big disappointment and Chris acts more like a slum lord than VRBO host. I have photos of everything posted and VRBO has been notified. You’ve been warned!

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 21, 2021
See reviews from guests that stayed before and after! Unfortunately, we do get nightmare guests from time to time and Andrew is a great example of this. Andrew wasn't even in the state of Maine for checkin. I guess marital issues were in-play here. His wife was a pleasure to speak with and we were on the same page when hanging up the phone. Shortly after her husband Andrew called me to try and extort me for $500 to prevent leaving this review!! As I explained to him on the phone this was not doable considering nothing was wrong with the unit and when I offered to stop by they rejected! I've never had guests buy $100+ of frozen food considering the GREAT food downtown Camden has to offer. Not to mention all of these great spots are a stones throw from the loft. My advise is maybe $6 foot longs vs frozen food are a better choice for Andrew. I also believe a more economical accommodation would also benefit his approach to traveling in midcoast Maine - frozen food and poor attempt to leverage review for money back due to marital issues. Considering the frozen food complaint his wife probably chose to travel without him so they could buy food at the airport instead of packing lunches for their flights! OWNERS BEWARE!!

Great location
View of the harbor can’t be beat. The condo is nicely decorated. You can walk anywhere in town. Great restaurants and shopping. The amenities are very limited. Bring your own toilet paper, tissues, dish soap and detergent. The trash issue was never resolved while we were there. Several attempts to contact the property manager were made and we never heard back. It needs a good deep cleaning. Very limited towels and no blankets. Had to go buy several blankets as it was cold several nights. Tried to reach the property manager but no response. Just beware you are on your own here.

Great location if you are looking for the Camden experience. Deck overlooks the harbor with the river spillway running right under it! Stagger across the street to Boynton McKay for the best gourmet donuts and around the corner to Zoots' new coffee location. Floorplan is 2 "owner suite" bedrooms (front and rear) with with queen beds and ensuite bathrooms, joined by a large common area. Washer/Dryer and deck gas grill are new. Perfect for 2 couples.

Idyllic views in quaint town
Lovely stay in the Harborfront Loft. Well appointed and tastefully decorated. Street noise is sometimes very loud, but the convenience of location and view out the back well make up for it. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Thank you!

Location and view!
Wonderful location in the heart of Camden. There is a market within walking distance that has everything you need. Central location was ideal for day trips. The view from the back deck was perfect. It overlooks the harbor and a park. The furniture and beds were comfortable. Property manager was helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
