We rented this house for 6 weeks. The house is impeccable from top to bottom, inside and out. Absolutely gorgeous design. The outdoor space, especially the fire pit, was designed for every outdoor use you can think of. We loved the location - so close to good good eats and quick day trips. The kayaks and location to the marsh was a perfect activity for late summer and early fall. Dan and Melissa are the best hosts we could have asked for. From the welcome gift to the cleaning of the fire pit and restocking of wood to the recommendations for an emergency dentist (and calling to have me fit in) - no detail was overlooked, no ask too much. We had the very best stay here we’ve ever had in all our travels and we cannot wait to come back.

A picture is worth 1000 words...just take a peek at Marshview Cottage photos and you will understand why we call it “a little slice of paradise”. Dan and Melissa offer a cozy, quiet, crisp and clean retreat in the Cape Porpoise area of Kennebunkport, Maine. The cottage is at the end of a quiet street but only a short walk will bring you to restaurants and a short drive to nearby Goose Rocks beach and Dock Square. Amenities include a beautiful garden with Adirondack and lounge chairs, a fire pit, umbrella table, outdoor shower with hot and cold water and kayaks for your pleasure. A foot path away are the marshes and a paddler’s dream. The cottage is decorated with such seaside flair it could be on the cover of a magazine! Our Kennebunkport friends stopped by for lunch and they didn’t want to leave. What more can one say - you will love your stay at Marshview Cottage.

Thanks for another perfect getaway. The owners have thought of everything you might need for a relaxing escape. Wish we could have stayed all summer! We especially enjoyed the ease of avoiding crowds, hiking, biking and kayaking daily.

The property is adorable and cozy. We had a lovely family vacation. The home is very clean and well adorned with amenities. The backyard is fantastic with table, outside shower and fire pit all set up for ease of use. The property is fenced which is great for our little guy. The patio door is right off the living room and there is a great balcony off of the master - this allows for the outside space to feel like a part of the home. The size of the home made it perfect for our family to gather while having the luxury of having our own cozy space. You can walk to several restaurants and a cute local store. The house is on a private, quiet street which was great for our son to ride his bike. Melissa and Dan are fantastic host with attention to detail. The host are easy to reach and provided options on places to go apple picking, restaurants and even a photographer. The home had a large welcome basket, kind note and personalized weather forecast. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. Melissa even called when we had left some items. We would love to come back during the summer. Fully recommend! Thank you for a cozy and relaxing stay.

Cozy, clean well-decorated and well equipped cottage in a cute neighborhood a few miles away from kennebunkport Dock Square area. Full size pullout couch in living room was comfortable. Queen bed upstairs was very comfortable. House is within 10 minutes walking distance to takeout gourmet store, small grocery store and restaurant “Musette” serving 3 meals a day. Nunans lobster hut is a five minute walk from cottage. It opens at 5pm each Night. (Doesn’t accept reservations ). The cottage is in close proximity to other homes and a short distance from access to a cove if you want to kayak. They provide two kayaks, which is great. You have to carry the kayaks down to the water access which is through a neighbors backyard. (There is a right of way). We opted not to ride bicycles in the area as there was no bike shoulder on most roads and there was a lot of vehicular traffic. Owners were very accommodating. A good stay in kennebunkport Labor Day weekend 2019!

Lovely spot. Peaceful. The house was very accurately represented in the listing. Beautifully decorated. Very well equipped house. Beautiful landscaping. Owners have thought of every detail. Walk to fabulous lobster pound and gourmet market. Dan and Melissa are extremely helpful with suggestions for activities, beaches, restaurants. We biked into Kennebunkport and walked to Cape Porpoise. Kayaked to the lighthouse and other nearby islands. A wonderful getaway for our family.

Dan and Melissa were fabulous hosts. They were well above any other hosts that we have stayed at with VRBO. Property clean, amenities plentiful, great location. We would definitely book there again if we get back to that area. Thank you Dan and Melissa.
