Make yourself at home. If anything comes up, we’re a quick message away.
We're available by message anytime and typically respond within minutes. We're local to Portland and happy to help with anything - from restaurant recommendations to a quick answer at midnight when you can't find something. We keep a hands-off approach unless you need us, and when you do, we're right there.
Set at the northern edge of a private marina, this floating home offers peaceful water views while still being just a short drive from Portland’s vibrant neighborhoods. Right across the road from the marina is the biking and walking trail that goes for miles along the river. Easy access to city highlights like the Alberta Arts District, downtown Portland, and outdoor adventures along the waterfront make this spot ideal for both relaxation and exploration.
• Adults-only home: For safety reasons (open water + dock access), we do not allow children or infants at this property.
• This is a floating home and will move slightly with wind, water activity, or passing boats — most guests find it relaxing, but those sensitive to motion should keep this in mind.
• Access requires walking down a ramp and along a dock for about 0.13 miles, roughly 3 minutes from parking lot to front door; the home also has two entrance steps and 15 internal stairs. It may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.
• Please be aware the location brings audible boat and aircraft noise indoors, including loud early-morning flights.
• Dock surfaces can be slick in rain or cold weather; please wear appropriate footwear and use caution.
• No parties, events, or large gatherings.
• No deliveries are allowed - please coordinate Amazon delivery to a local pick-up locker & meet Door Dash/Uber Eats in parking lot.
• Aqua Star has an electric dock. Therefore swimming to/from the dock is not allowed. No jumping, diving or swimming off the dock allowed due to possible risk of shock.
• The listing is located in a NO WAKE ZONE of the marina - any and all watercraft must observe signs and be at slow speeds in this area at all times.
• Boats and jet skis require prior owner approval. No overnight docking at Aqua Star, and no boarding or launching from the back deck.
• Food/drink/wine is NOT allowed in the main living room on the white rug or while sitting on any white couches - please eat at one of the multiple bar counters or dining room table. Please try to consume all stainable liquids away from light colored fabric surfaces.
