What a fabulous place to stay just outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown but close enough to be in it in an instant. The house was absolutely immaculate and was exactly as described. It was just a perfect, quaint expression of coastal Maine. We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.

We are a family of five and chose this property because of the photos, convenience (laundry!), and overall Kennebunkport vibe. It was a hit! The owners made the check-in process a breeze, they were so easy to communicate with, and the house is darling. It was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, there were extra comforters, towels, everything you could possibly want. I’m a home stylist and loved the high end furnishings and thought that went into this special cottage. The kids loved the board games and having their own rooms. This is a lovely property!!!!! Highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
Although a small house, my family of 4 loved staying here. The cottage is two doors from my house, so apart from its charm, it was wonderfully convenient.
They enjoyed evening fire pit time and report the property around the house is lovely.
One suggestion: post summer photos of the grounds on the listing because it’s a nice bonus.
Thank you and keep up the great work, neighbor!
