I became enchanted with Kennebunkport when I visited briefly in 2001 for a wedding. I've always wanted my mom and sisters to experience it, too. Mom and I have researched places to stay in Maine for years, and we fell in love with this cottage and "favorited" it a few years ago. It was more of a dream than reality that we'd ever get to stay here. Well, after a horrible year medically for me, and the sudden loss of my mom's twin sister, I had to make it happen. I booked our dream home on a whim, and we made it happen. It was truly magical. The house is as cute as the pictures. It is perfectly located. It is SO clean. The whole process was super easy. And Brian was so wonderful to deal with. He even left a book of recommended restaurants and things to do! Right down to the frozen beer mugs in the freezer - something my dad always insisted on when he was with us - they thought of everything! It really was the perfect trip! We loved every minute. I can't explain how much my family needed this and how much we loved this home. We hope to do it again someday. THANK YOU!

If you are looking for the ambience of a coastal New England cottage, look no further. Minnow Cottage is a little gem located on the water in a cove with spectacular views from every room and a gorgeous front garden full of hydrangeas. Waking up with morning coffee at the table in the sunroom, whether rain or shine, with a panoramic view of the boats, birds, flowers and wildlife provides an opportunity to savor the simple pleasures of life and will set the tone for the day. This immaculate home is well-appointed and decorated with a sophisticated eye without losing the charm and coziness of a coastal cottage. Brian has accounted for every need to make your stay comfortable and convenient. Minnow Cottage is a short walk to Dock Square for dining and shopping. Lots of dining choices within walking distance including the famous Clam Shack whose lobster roll lives up to its reputation. Loads of antique stores, hydrangeas, beautiful views and seafood throughout Kennebunkport and Kennebunk. We took day trips to Freeport, Rockport and Salem and Gloucester, MA. I fell in love with the area and didn't want to leave. We will be back.

We could not have been more pleased with this quintessential Maine cottage. Incredible location in walking distance to everything. The cottage was exceptionally decorated and the quaint space was maximized through thoughtful coastal design. Even better than the pictures. One queen bedroom was on the first floor, adjacent to the bathroom and kitchen. The other two bedrooms are on the second level of the cottage, accessible by a wee staircase. The single bathroom is cozy and compact. The dining room faces the port and we enjoyed having our morning coffee watching the lobster and whale watching boats. Having cocktails on the yard at sunset was also a favorite, and we got to listen to live music from dock square without having to leave the property. Despite the location the home was very quiet. Having AC is often a luxury in coastal Maine and this cottage was equipped. But a wonderful breeze filtered through the home when the windows were open. While this stay was only my husband and I, it would be a wonderful place for a couple with young children. Charming, sophisticated and perfect location for exploring lower Maine. We will be back!!

I saw a photo of the Minnow Cottage many months ago and I knew I had to see it in person.. Could our visit be as picture perfect as the photo.? The answer is yes and more. The charming house is decorated with comfortable furniture and the stamp of an interior designer. The house is well cared for and well stocked. We sat at the dining room table and watch the boats come and go, saw beautiful birds, and stunning sunsets. I would love to share the whole experience with my grandchildren. My friends and I thank you for a lovely stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at "Minnow Cottage". The cottage's newly renovated interiors with charming, chic and comfortable decor made for the perfect vacation getaway . We enjoyed watching the harbor activity from the dining room, and having sunset cocktails while relaxing on the small lawn. House was perfect location for easy walking to village shops and restaurants- tucked away just enough so it felt private. Host was helpful and communicative.

We have a fabulous stay in Kennebunkport just prior to peak season. Minnow Cottage is conveniently located within walking distance of everything in downtown. We loved sitting in the dining room enjoying take-out while watching the sun set and the tides change. The property was clean and comfortable--incredibly COVID-safe. Excellent communication with Brian. We can't recommend this property highly enough, and we look forward to returning! This was our 7th trip to Maine, and we found our new favorite place to stay.
