Charlotte was great to work with, proactively and responsively. The property had a warm and cozy feel despite the large number of rooms. My father enjoyed reading on the back deck and walking to K'port center. Perfect for a family that wants the opportunity to spend time together but also to find hideaways to recharge in peace. Be aware that sound travels through the whole house if you're a light sleeper. Also save the top floor bedrooms for early risers who will enjoy the sun through the skylights. I would love to stay there again.

We had a wonderful family vacation in Kennebunkport. Charlotte’s home was a wonderful retreat for our family. Each of us had our own space which was perfect. The living areas were spacious and cozy for us to spend time together. The outdoor deck had a lovely view and nice trail down to the water. The hotel next door even let us borrow bikes for an hour. One of the highlights of the house is a large renovated 3rd floor with two bedrooms and new bathroom. Perfect for a family with young children. We also appreciated the upgraded bedding in all rooms, plentiful towels, and essentials for the house (toilet paper, soap, sponges, paper towels, coffee, tea, hand soap, counter spray!). These upgrades were a huge perk as most rentals we’ve stayed at in the past seem to skimp in these areas. Dock square and The Colony area were very walkable for our family from the house. We loved our trip and would highly recommend this rental!

The house was exactly what we were looking for for a family trip to celebrate my dads 70th. We had 6 adults and one 1.5 year old and we could not have been happier with the house. The layout worked perfectly with one bedroom towards the back of the house with a large closet that fit a pack and play with room to spare - they also had a pack and play available but I had brought our own and both actually fit in the closet. In two bedrooms we had only one adult in each room but they could have accommodated an additional adult or children in a pack and play. Given the layout you could easily close doors downstairs to help with noise while kids upstairs are sleeping, which we found really helpful. The house was a nice walk to town - 15 minutes max - with only a short portion of the walk not on a sidewalk. Check in process was super smooth and the host was very responsive to my notes prior to our visit. The house had all the amenities we needed for cooking. There is not a huge backyard, but we got out for activities during the day so we didn’t really care about that - it does have a nice porch for hanging outside. We were a short and easy drive from Goose Rocks Beach and bought a day parking pass for the one nice day we had at the beach. Yes, the house is older, but we all found it very charming, comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this property!

This home was perfect for our family trip. So much space for our everyone and lots of thoughtful touches. The home has been updated and seems as though they are continuing to update. We loved everything and would definitely return. Charlotte was so sweet and extremely accommodating!

Really enjoyed our stay here as a group of friends. The property was clean when we arrived, specifically the bed linens were very crisp and clean. Always nice to have a really clean and comfortable bed! The house is old and historic feeling. The location is in a really quiet part of Kport. A few items in the house were broken, but these did not have any impact on our stay. One of the two items we noticed was broken on arrival was the desk drawer which was missing a roller and thus couldn't sit in the channels to slide in and out of the desk in the living room. The other item was the towel bar to the right of the sink in the bath with the claw foot rub. The bar was loose on one end and a towel could not be hung from it. These did not have an impact on our stay but we felt the manager may want to know. Check in and check out were very easy! We really liked having the fireplace and being able to have a fire.

very comfortable

This is a great location, walking distance to the Colony Hotel, the Nonantum, and Dock Square. It's very spacious and well maintained for the most part. Beautiful wood floors; substantial furniture; charming original architectural touches. The wallpaper is beautiful. Washer and dryer on the premises that work very well. Same for the dishwasher. Plenty of parking out front, although a little trick to back directly out onto South Main Street, because the house is located on a curve and a hill, and that makes the view tricky. The area is wooded and so tends to be a little dark, and there is little if any overhead lighting in the house, which can make it a bit gloomy. The porch could be charming, but it tended to be wet and buggy during out stay, and I think could have used a cleaning (although I did not check closely). The kitchen is an odd layout, but we managed fine. As with most rental homes, it was not the best equipped in terms of pots/pans/trays/bowls, but again, we managed and had some delightful meals together. Most disappointing is that when we arrived, there was an air conditioner in only one of the four bedrooms. We only used 2 bedrooms, but we had to contact the propery manager who did respond, and told my friends that there was an extra ac unit in one of the bedroom closets. After cleaning the dusty, dirty unit, my friends had to install it themselves on one of the hottest days of the summer. That was a big snafu for us, especially the part about installing it ourselves. Sorry, folks - legends to the contrary, Maine is hot in August, and ac is not optional. Another issue is the lack of a grill. There really isn't a convenient place to put one, as the property isn't level. Down the hill in the back and out into a clearing that overlooks a marsh/pond, there is a charming seating area with a charcoal fire pit, but not a grill. While charming, it was too hot and buggy for us to enjoy while we were there. It's probably lovely in the fall! Finally, while I am being nit-picky, there are 2 bathrooms, but both are upstairs. The claw foot tub is the front bath is charming, but there is not really anything substantial to hold onto to get in and out, and there are no shelves for soap, shampoo, etc. The shower curtain is not overly effective at keeping water in the shower, which is too bad for those beautiful wood floors! These are more comments than complaints. The house overall is lovely and we had a great stay!

House was clean and comfortable for our group of 7. The location is fantastic. Walk to ocean, restaurants and shops. Charlotte was a great host. Good communication and quick to respond when we had a small issue. Great stay.
