About this house rental

Explore Kennebunk/Kennebunkport from this classic Cape style home, recently renovated and perfect for large groups! Originally built in the 1800s, charm and character abound in this 5 bedroom/3 bathroom home that can sleep up to 13 guests.

Walk to the restaurants, cafes, and shops in Lower Village in 5 minutes or 10 minutes to Dock Square. Other highlights include the country kitchen with white cabinets and butcher block counters, cozy living room, relaxing sunroom, backyard fire pit, and outdoor hot tub.

The house is perfect for large groups and families looking for a Maine get-away! It retains all the charm and character of a classic 1800s cape style home, but with the addition of modern comforts (including air conditioning!)

A spacious primary bedroom with en suite bathroom is located over the garage, providing the perfect retreat after a busy day exploring the town. Three additional bedrooms are located upstairs with a shared full bathroom (please note that two of the bedrooms share a doorway leading to the bathroom), and a fifth bedroom and full bathroom are located on the ground floor. Five single size fold-out cots are available as extra beds.

The home's living room has a Smart TV, which can be used to stream shows through any major app, including YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu. The living room opens up to a cheerful, cozy sun room on one side and a dining room that seats 8 guests on the other. Evenings can be spent grilling and relaxing on the back deck or around the fire pit. Enjoy year-round use of the outdoor hot tub as well!

Please note: as the home was originally built almost 200 years ago, it retains some unique characteristics of the time period. For example, the 3 upstairs bedrooms have ceilings lower than you would find in a modern home, doorways may be uniquely shaped or smaller than usual, etc. We find that these quirks make the home special, and hope you find enjoy your stay in this small piece of Kennebunk history!

Security cameras are located on the exterior of the property and noise monitoring devices (only measures the level of sound, not able to record conversations) are located on the exterior of the property as well.

Our group of 12 consisted mostly of couples who don't get to see each other much, and this place was perfect for our little reunion. Easy walk to SO MUCH at Dock Square. Mike's All Day Breakfast two doors down. And when we missed "beach day" because high tide was already in we turned it into yard day and had a blast in the yard, lounging, playing frisbee, and then using the fire pit. The living room is spacious enough to all gather, and as soon as that temp dropped to 60º or below you KNOW we were in that (well-maintained) hot tub. Also, good luck beating our high score in Pac-Man.

Family traveled from Oregon to experience beautiful coastline and good food. We recommend Mabel's for the best lobster rolls EVER! The house is located within an easy walk to great shopping and charming community. French bakery on walk to town has delicious croissants and coffee.

We used this home for preparing for my daughter’s wedding. Throughout the stay we had multiple people in and out. Plenty of parking. The house was perfect for our needs. No one was overcrowded. Plenty of rooms for different groups of people to sit and talk without bothering other people in the house. It was well stocked with everything you could think of. Clean and comfortable. Location was great. Plenty of parking. I would definitely recommend and use it again.

House is great. Very well appointed with lots of details. Pac-Man and MK old school arcades were a big hit, as was the fire pit and sitting area in the back. All rooms have individual AC units, so easy for each to set up to their liking. Location can’t be beat - far enough from dock square that you’re outside of the heavy traffic, but easy 10 minute walk - absolutely perfect location.

Kennebunk Cape was perfect for our stay during the Christmas Prelude. Very convenient to almost every event as you are in walking distance to Dock Square and Rt 35. The home was very spacious and clean. The bedrooms were exactly fitting to our needs with extra blankets and pillows available. Very charming old home with lots of room for all. Yes, the stairs were steep to the 3 beds upstairs but no problem for our 4 and 6 yr old. I can see maybe a problem for young toddler. Fire pit was very private with firewood provided. Michael was quick to respond throughout the process. The best place to stay in Kennebunk!

This house was really not a good place for our family to stay, and we ended up leaving two nights early. We had three adults and two children (3.5 and 1.5) at the house. First, the good: * Location is great and you can walk to shops and restaurants * The property owner is very responsive to any questions * If you need a lot of beds, this house can work for you * The kitchen was actually decent (although it's a weird mix of the pots/pans/utensils that are available) The bad: * The house overall is uncomfortable. Think very bare rooms with no rugs, uncomfortable beds, limited lighting. Not inviting or a place you want to spend any time in * This is not a good family house. There is an extremely steep staircase to a few upstairs bedrooms. In my opinion it's actually pretty dangerous for kids or older adults * The house was also missing things it should have had and was not as clean as it should have been. Floors were dirty, WiFi didn't work in master bedroom, there were cigarette butts outside, no firewood for the firepit, not enough towels, grill very dirty, front door had overgrown bushes (to name a few). Essentially, there was zero effort put into making this house inviting and a comfortable place to stay. If all you are solving for are physical beds and location, then this house works for you. If you think you'll spend any time in the home and are visiting as a family, I'd look elsewhere.
