About this house rental
Charming summer cottage with everything you need for a large group of family or friends. The Munson Cottage is a unique 150+ year old summer home that has been in our family for three generations. Nestled in the woods, yet only a 5-minute walk to the Colony Beach and breakwater. Dock Square in downtown Kennebunkport is just 1 mile away.
The Munson Cottage has six bedrooms and three bathrooms to sleep fifteen comfortably. Linens and towels (including beach towels) are provided. There is a working fireplace in the living room, a large screened in porch, a dining room, and a full kitchen with a glass top electric stove and an antique propane cast iron stove for heat. The large Dining Room has plenty of room for your extended family and friends.
We rent by the week in the Summer and by the night with a 3-night minimum in the shoulder season. The Munson Cottage is a summer house with no central heat. There is no central A/C but each room has a fan to use as needed. Pets are welcomed!

We have been coming to KBT for over 50 years with family and friends and pets! With three generations of family, we are always looking for a place that will accommodate everyone and "Club Munson" did not disappoint! It was a last-minute reservation, and we are so happy that it was available. From my first contact with Chris everything was spot on. We are already planning our next visit!!

Great cottage for large families. We loved the screened in porch for games, puzzling, family time and conversation.
Property manager was very responsive to questions.

This was our third year renting this great house. The kitchen and porch are definitely highlights and we love the location. The stairs to the second floor bedrooms are a bit steep if mobility is a concern. The first floor bedroom and bathroom worked very well. Hope to return!

My wife and I have enjoyed this rental a few times now and it is always a great time. It’s got plenty of space and in a fantastic location!

We had 14 people in the house, and it never felt crowded. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed. The screened in porch was an amazing feature, and a great gathering place. Walking to Colony Beach was very easy, and downtown is a little bit further of a walk, but very easy as well. I highly recommend this house if you have a large group. We were all very comfortable, and a great time was had by all!!!

This was our second time renting this house and it worked out great. Lots of space for everyone and perfect location to walk or ride bikes! Sunsets at St. Ann’s are a must see.

Another great year!
We just finished up our 4th two-week stay at the Munson Cottage. It was immaculately clean when we arrived and our communication with the owner is always top notch. You cannot beat the location and being able to bring our four legged friend cannot be beat! We highly recommend it.

Great spot for large groups
We had a relaxing fun time at Munson Cottage. There is plenty of parking and loads of beds. We have used VRBO for years and this is the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever been in. Also there is an abundance of towels in all bathrooms. The kitchen is wonderful, you won’t need to bring anything. But, the porch, oh how we loved the porch!! It’s a great gathering spot

Our Stay at the Munson Cottage
The house was wonderful. We loved that it was an older property as it added to the charm of the place. The owner Chris was great, so responsive when we had a request or question. The property was great for walking to restaurants, watching the sunrise and sunset and biking along the coast. We stongly recommend this house if you are planning a visit to Kennebunkport.

Great location!
My wife and I love this property - it's a great location for two reasons: it has a yard and it's a two minute walk to the ocean. Also, it has a full kitchen and plenty of space throughout. There is a screened in porch which is great even on a rainy day.

Fantastic!
Our group had a fabulous week in Kennebunkport! The house worked perfectly for everyone. We had plenty of space, loved the screened in porch, kitchen had everything we needed. Even sat 16 people in the dining room for a family dinner with room to spare. Location was excellent for bike rides to Cape Porpoise and Mother’s Beach. Walked into Kennebunkport center twice a day and witnessed multiple sunsets from the Seaside Chapel on Ocean Avenue. We loved everything about it! Thank you for sharing this gem of a home.

Fabulous
Quintessential Maine rambling summer cottage with rafters tons of natural light, wooden floors and the world’s best screened-in porch. Being able to walk to Colony Beach - priceless. Loved it!

Location and comfort!
This is our second time renting the house. Chris is very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. The house was very clean when we checked in and the location cannot be beat. You can walk to the port or to the beach. It was quieter this year, but plenty of people and dog watching from the fabulous screened in porch. The house provides many amenities!

First, Mr. Munson did respond quickly to our problems- and there were many. Garbage piled in the house had not been removed and was disgustingly piled in the kitchen. It stunk! The bathroom shower curtain was black from mold, as are the tiles in the shower. The microwave was sparking- no biggy- he replaced it. BUT THE WORST WAS BATS IN THE HOUSE. My grandson came running out of his room in the middle of the night because a bat was flying around. The exterminator came the next morning and told us to have the children checked for bites. There were bat dropping in all the closets ( and I use the word closets loosely) and he said this was too big of a problem for an exterminator. There were several bats in the house and most likely would be back. The rafters are all exposed and could be anywhere. Needless to say-We packed and left!!! There is nothing charming or “rustic” about this house, in my opinion. It was an awful experience

Perfect location
We truly enjoyed being able to walk to our favorite spots In KPT. We spent most of our time enjoying the terrific porch. James was very easy to deal with and always quick to respond. We look forward to returning.

Munson cottage family reunion
Dear James and Lindsey Munson, Just want to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at the Munson cottage for our family reunion. We had a total of 14 (8 adults and 6 children, ages 22 to 10). The house was roomy and comfortable for all. Our family loved the cottage, a perfect example of a Maine summer cottage. The house was very well-equipped, from the kitchen to toys and games for leisure activities for everyone. We had a very happy reunion.

Second Year At Munson Cottage
Great property for our large, 3 generation family. This was our 2nd year there and everything was terrific. We enjoyed both the small beach nearby and the larger Kennebunkport beaches. Other kid friendly attractions are close by. The owners are very responsive. The property has a secluded feel even though close to town. Our grandchildren love the large upstairs bedroom with 5 single beds.

Munson House is great for a very relaxing vacation!
Our family of 9 adults, 1 grand baby and our family dog all had a great time at the Munson cottage. We were very happy with the thoughtfulness of the owners and their supply of everything you may need for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect and the spacious rooms accommodated our family needs. Everyone was very sad to have to leave. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.

Rustic vacation cottage
My family and I rented the Munson Cottage for a week in August. We had a fabulous time. The cottage was rustic but comfortable. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. My 85 year-old mother came with us and enjoyed the first floor bedroom/bathroom suite. The cottage provided all cooking utensils and dishware. There was a brand new washer/dryer which came in handy. The area near the cottage was very quiet and secluded which was nice. There was a nice beach about a 15 minute walk from the cottage. We went there most days. I can't say enough about this place. It was perfect for our family gathering.

Great Family Reunion Cottage
The Munson Cottage is the perfect setting for your Kennebunkport vacation/reunion. This six bedroom, 3 bath, home is fully equipment with just about anything you could ever need. (We were amazed at the detailed amenities included.) It is so cozy with wide plank,wood floors, a fireplace, and screened in front porch. My husband and I, his five siblings and spouses, so enjoyed the cottage. Our daughter, and her husband, also came to visit, and were so impressed with the "homey atmosphere" created by the Munson's. We would definitely stay at this lovely home again. Just FYI, the Munsons are very gracious, and accessible for all of your questions/concerns, and will quickly get back to your inquiries. The perfect hosts!😊

Excellent Property Close To Everything Important For Our Family
We are a large, 3 generation family and the Munson cottage was perfect for our group. The large upstairs bedroom was terrific for our grandchildren, ages 3-9, and of course we enjoyed the screened in front porch immensely. We had everything we needed at the house and had no problems whatsoever. Beaches, restaurants, golf, and ocean walks were all close by. The owner was very accommodating to our needs. We would definitely come again.

A very pleasant stay at the Munsun Cottage
The property is at a perfect location tucked away from Ocean Drive and easy walking distance to the water. A very well maintained property considering the age. It met all our needs by far. All 11 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The grandchildren enjoyed playing in the many little hideaways.

Great Vacation Home in Kennebunkport
The home is very old but in a great location in walking distance to the Colony Hotel, Mabel's, Colony Beach. The town is an awesome nautical town that is fun for families to enjoy. The home has a great screened in porch. And the kitchen had many pots and pans, things to cook with, an electric stove. The laundry machines are new and were great to have. It was great to have bedding and towels included. I loved the location and we had plenty of space in the home. There were many fans to use in the home. The owner and the manager were responsive to our inquiries. I would stay there again if given the opportunity.

Very conscientious owners!
We live in Naples, Florida and because of Irma we actually never made it to the house.
However, in our communicating with the owners we found them to be very concerned and accommodating. Being under no obligation whatsoever they were willing to work with us to make our vacation happen. Unfortunately, it didn't come to be, but we are grateful for their kind offer.
Thank you!

Perfect Maine Cottage
The Munson Cottage was a wonderful place for our annual multi-generational family gathering. The house is not overly fancy; it has that perfect cozy Maine cottage feel. The porch is a beautiful gathering place- I could have spent the entire week there. The living room, complete with working fire place and supply of dry wood, was great for chilly mornings. We walked to the local beaches, took bike rides and cooked family meals. James and Lindsey were warm and welcoming hosts and good communicators. Our family has rented houses in Maine each summer for the past 25 years. The Munson Cottage a very special place, and we hope to be able to return next summer.

Cozy Cottage
This was our second time staying at the Munson Cottage. This place has it all! Great yard for lawn games, walking distance to Colony Beach, a mile to downtown and plenty of room inside the home for a large group we had 13.

Enjoyable stay in a rustic home.
We enjoyed our stay at the Munson cottage. Blessed with cool nights with windows open and a fire in the fireplace to start the morning. Easy walk to the Colony hotel and beach, Port Lobster and Mabel's and lovely walk along Ocean Ave. Short drive or longer walk into town. Plenty of bedrooms and beds for a large family and 3 bathrooms , also appreciated for a larger group. Kitchen has all the basics and very well- equipped with every pot, pan, utensil ever needed. Washer and dryer were appreciated with a toddler along. Lovely yard and wonderful screened porch where we spent a lot of time. Definitely would return. James Munson was a great host and very helpful when we needed for a couple of issues.
