We had a wonderful 9-day stay at the Oliver Davis house! The house is old but completely renovated, well-maintained and very well supplied and organized. The owner was quick to respond to some inital questions and comped us breakfast when the stove pilot ignition went out at the end of our stay.

We truly had the best two weeks at the Oliver Davis House! It was sparkling clean on arrival, the kitchen was a chef’s dream, communication with the owners was great, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. We loved the beautiful gardens too. We can’t wait to come back!

We just got back from our stay and my friends and I can’t say enough about how perfect the house and location were for our Christmas prelude getaway. The host kept us informed and everything we needed was at the house. Christmas Prelude and Kennebunkport is just magical!

If you are looking for a truly unique place to vacation, this home checks all the boxes and then some! It is impeccably decorated, comfortable, yet elegant, and best of all, in downtown Kennebunkport. Park your car and walk to your hearts content. The Owner has thought of everything….best restaurants, short day trip suggestions and shopping ideas. This house will not be a disappointment!

I originally booked this house due to it's location and was a little worried the house looked small (which given it's age was not unlikely). However I was pleasantly surprised at how much space we had. The kitchen is small but very workable and super well stocked. We cooked several meals in and had everything we needed and then some. The dining room was big for game nights, the parlour was a good size for chatting and hanging out. The bedrooms in the main house are very large. The carriage house rooms are smaller but it was nice to have a separate space for people to get away to. Even though the house is so close to the center of town it was still quiet and tranquil. Small improvements could be made like better pillows but the house was very neat and uncluttered and taken care of. I would definitely recommend the house and would go back.

The Oliver Davis house is just wonderful and the location cannot be beat. The carriage house is just so cute. The owner was so accommodating when the VRBO site was giving me an error message during the booking process and he responded quickly to my messages. We will definitely be back again!

This home is beautiful, it is even better in person. It is situated in the idyllic Kennebunkport village. Park the car and never need to drive the whole stay. The linens are gorgeously comfy and the decor is so tasteful and warm. Cannot wait to stay again!!

The Oliver Davis House on Elm Street is in the perfect location to take advantage of walking to Kennebunkports shops, restaurants, Barbara Bush Gardens and sightseeing events. We are city people, and love to hoof it when we can. The house, almost 200 years old, was a classic delight. Appeared to be professionally decorated. Guest Cottage was also well appointed. Both house and cottage were furnished in a fashion that you want for nothing. Backyard was a dream: beautiful gardens surrounding soft, green grass. A lovely shady gathering place, and nice to sit and read. Owner was a great communicator. Immediate response to questions. Couldnt ask for better. In all, a perfect, pleasant place!

great location within walking distance of everything needed to enjoy your vacation.
