We can't imagine a better place to stay than this charming 2nd floor apartment--right in town and fully stocked with everything from cookies and milk to lawn chairs and beach towels. Plenty of room and top-of-the-line linens and comforters, plus the most amazing hosts, JoAnn and Mario! We especially appreciate the care they have taken to preserve the charm and beauty of this historic home. Best place we ever stayed, really, perfect.

Excellent location, walking distance to everything. But still off the main road, to help with any noise. Very gracious host, offering snacks and extra hospitality. We had an excellent experience.

There are no words to properly describe how amazing our experience was. Jo-Ann (Nan!) is the ULTIMATE host. She has thought of everything. She had umbrellas, a ring holder at the sink, distilled water for the iron/steamer, a stocked amenities supply in the medicine cabinet, breakfast and snack goodies my kids devoured…..the attention to detail is so impressive. The unit is gorgeous and the location is exactly where you want to be. This historic home oozes with character and is beautiful and comfortable. Jo-Ann feels like family now and we can’t wait to visit again.

Our stay was beautiful and the hosts made us feel like we were family, providing snacks, milk for cereal and coffee. The house was clean and welcoming with easy walking to all Kennebunkport has to over. Just lovely!

We booked this as a last-minute addition to a vacation and were delighted with the location, as we didn't have to get in the car at all once we arrived. We walked to dinners, breakfasts, browsing, etc. The hostess kindly showed us all the little extra touches this place has, including snacks! The apartment was impeccably maintained in a historic old building that made us feel right at home.

Hosts are 5 Star. Apartment was clean and very well stocked with a great assortment of snacks, drinks and soaps etc. Location is ideal for day trips. Portland and Freeport north and Portsmouth south are easy 30-45 minute drives. The town is quant with beaches. Very walkable. And the final luxury that was a must for us, private parking for one car. It makes a big difference in a small busy little town.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was beautiful, spacious and in the perfect location. JoAnn was a wonderful host. The kitchen and bathroom were well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. The extra snacks and groceries supplied were an unexpected bonus and very much appreciated. Whenever we return to Kennebunkport we would love to stay again.

I can't say enough good things about this property. The location is perfect for walking to shops and restaurants in Kennebunkport. We left our car parked in our off street assigned space and walked everywhere. The unit is impeccably clean and nicely decorated and furnished. The owners are very helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The extras they provided were like no other vacation rental we have stayed in and made our stay even better (snacks, coffee, creamer, milk, cereal, ziplock bags, extra towels, linens, and too many others to list). I can't think of a single thing that would make this place better.

Our family just had a wonderful stay. Joanne and Mario are fantastic hosts. Joanne put a lot of thought into anything you could possibly want or need - sunscreen, bug spray, ponchos, a well stocked kitchen. This deserves more than 5 stars for that alone. The home was impeccably clean and there were so many extra linens and towels available. We did not want for anything. It is the perfect location, located just across the street from dock square so I could walk to get my cappuccino every morning and an ice cream each night for my daughter. Do yourself a favor and book this for your next family vacation.

Super cute. Lots of linens and towels. I cook on vacation. I made pancakes and even cake and a crockpot soup! The kitchen had everything and the freebie food and snacks were plentiful and lots of variety! We met the owner - super super super nice folks. We have stayed in Kennebunkport in various properties for 15 years. The location of this property is right downtown in this charming Maine town so the location was perfect. Walk to everything. Everything was awesome.

My sister and I enjoyed a girls weekend in Kennebunkport and this apartment checked all the boxes. Great location, lovely accommodations and responsive hosts. We were thrilled and would certainly return.
Thank you JoAnn and Mario for a great stay in one of our favorite locations!

As a first-time client for this type of lodging, I went into this weekend hoping for something at least satisfactory. Well, I was greatly surprised and more than a little pleased with the physical layout of this truly unique property. The unit consisted of a fully equiped kitchen, dining and living area, a full kingsized bedroom area, a separate sleeping area with a futon, and access to additional sleeping space if needed. There was also a very much appreciated deck area which was most welcome since the weather allowed us to sit outdoors enjoying the warm evenings after dinner. The location of the uniit was also unbelievable since it was just steps out of Dock Square, making it so easy to just stroll into town after dinner to enjoy the darkened and quiet town of K'port once the hustle and bustle of the day traffic had ended. The owners of the unit (Joanne and Mario) were the best hosts that I (and my family) had ever encountered, as they were most welcoming when we arrived, helpful as they made sure that we had everything that we might need during our stay, and gracious as they allowed us to share a portion of their home. And, as hosts, they were unbelievably generous. They had stocked the bathroom and the kitchen with all types of necessities, snacks and breakfast foods that we might have needed. In short, they provided me and my family with a home away from home. However, most of all, Joanne and Mario made us feel welcome; when my family and I left Elm Street, we had become friends with our hosts. You can be sure that we will return.

Joanne and Mario (we feel like we are friends now!) have created such a comfortable, homey apartment in their lovely home. Everything we could need or want was provided. A full kitchen, extremely comfortable king size bed and great location within walking distance of downtown create a perfect vacation experience. We will come visit again!

We had a terrific time. The location was ideal, the apartment had everything we needed. We were only there for 2 nights, so we did not use the kitchen but it was not only stocked with the essentials needed for cooking, it had groceries- snacks and goodies, bottled water and ice cream. The only inconvenience is the bathroom is en-suite and my kids had to go through the master bedroom to access.
Shout out to Joann for being a great host. Greeting us upon arrival, and making sure we had everything we needed. Also, I am persnickety about my linens - and these were all cotton, high quality and comfy. Thank you, Joann. We will be back!

This was a wonderful place to stay. It is right by the town center and you can walk to everything. The place is lovely and made our stay with small children for comfortable and convenient. The owners live downstairs and a very nice and helpful. They even stocked the pantry and fridge with snacks and essentials, which was a delightful surprise. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Kennebunkport.

Perfect in Kennebunkport
Everything was beautiful. Location was perfect. Lots of pantry items and snacks. Even ice cream in freezer.. Only thing we looked for and couldn't find were instructions on how to regulate heat and air. I gave 5 stars.

Perfect home away from home
This place was so welcoming! The location was perfect for walking anywhere in town and the owners were so friendly! They had a stocked pantry so we were able to make pancakes for our baby and enjoy local syrups and other snacks to really make it feel customized and like home. The location was better than most of the hotels and really gave us the perfect place to relax and feel like we were home

Don't hesitate - book this home!
We LOVED our stay here!! We were incredibly blessed to meet the owners of the property, JoAnn and Mario and had several conversations with them. It is more than evident that JoAnn loves hosting people in her home and goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The apartment was extremely clean. It was MUCH larger than we thought it was going to be! When we arrived, JoAnn had water bottles, sodas, ice cream, etc. stocked in the fridge/freezer. And then we opened the closet and it was FULL of snacks! This was such a nice, added touch! The bathroom was stocked with toiletries so if you forget anything at home, don't fret, JoAnn has you covered! This apartment was probably our best experience out of all of our bookings! It was just amazing!!! Book it now - you won't regret it! You will be incredibly blessed by JoAnn and Mario's hospitality!

This was our first time in Kennebunkport and the house is perfectly located. The apartment is on the 2nd floor with the owners on the 1st. Joann and Mario are lovely people who are very helpful. We’ve stayed at many VRBO rentals and this one was the best appointed rental by far. No need to bring salt and pepper to this one.The town is beautiful but crowded. Bring your bikes and ride to the beaches and explore. If you want to go on some tours like sailing or lobster boats reserve them at the earliest.Thank you Joann and Mario for your hospitality.

Beautiful well-stocked apartment in the heart of town. Beautifully decorated and warm owners who make you feel you’re their personal guest. They even provide suntan lotion and bug spray in a basket in the foyer on the way out. Highly recommend.

Amazing
This is by far the nicest, well appointed property I have ever rented, and we have rented many over the years. It was beautiful appointed and Joann had the place so well stocked there wasn't any room for the items we brought! She had everything you could ever want/need ready for us when we arrived. Although the listing said it was a double bed, it turns out to be a very comfortable king in a large bedroom. Hands down the best place we have ever stayed and I would give it 6 stars if I could!
