Had a great stay in the colder weather! Perfect spot for a winter weekend getaway with the hot tub, very close to a lot of the main areas for summer time too when all the seasonal spots are open for the season!

Perfect beach vacation house
Prime location, close to everything in town & beaches! The house had everything we needed and early check in was a huge 5 stars for us since we had 2 little kids and they wanted to start vacation right away :) house was perfect, we would absolutely stay again. Glad it was dog friendly to accommodate our little family vacation. Great trip and great house!

Love this home!
We have rented this property a number of times. It is consistently clean, welcoming and cozy. The location is perfect. We already have future bookings reserved because we love it so much.
This property was the perfect size for our family of 4 and small dog. The house was very clean and well stocked with the essentials (kitchenware, towels, blankets). We were able to enjoy both the hot tub and fire pit, and there was lots to do nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect winter getaway!
This was the perfect house for our family of 4 to enjoy the Christmas Prelude. Conveniently located minutes from all activities. Indoor & outdoor fireplace were a welcome treat after returning home from the day's activities. Clean and well-kept home made our stay everything we were hoping for.

Great family getaway!
We stayed here for 4 nights for a family spring vacation. We already loved this area of Maine so having a house in this location was perfect for us to explore the local beaches, restaurants and trails. The house was perfect for our small kids and well equipped for all of our needs. It was clean, comfortable and cozy & situated in a nice quiet neighborhood. Having access to laundry was also super helpful! Would definitely recommend!
Property was as described. Lots of supplies available for cooking. Lovely backyard and neighborhood. Hot tub was a big plus. Very close to shopping, ocean and restaurants
I had to have surgery and live 2 hours north. This gave us easy access to my appointments and a comfortable resting place after surgery. Thank you so much. The house and yard are lovely.

Stay here
Awesome time!! Outdoor shower was out of commission but that didn’t make or break the trip, just minor inconvenience. Other amenities make up for this issue. Checked all our boxes: kid friendly (toys and crib), beach stuff, fire pit, hot tub, and dog friendly. Stay here, you won’t regret it.
Loved the property & location but there was a weird neighbor Nextdoor we caught spying on us with a flashlight out of their window at night, made us feel very uncomfortable being a mom alone with her kids, luckily nothing further happened but I did not sleep well that night! Home is beautiful and functional! Hot tub was amazing and very clean! Snow was only shoveled partially which made it slightly difficult but we understood due to the recent storms, all in all was a great getaway, the nearby beaches were gorgeous!
Rented this home for 2 nights. Had everything we needed, no concerns. Peaceful back yard for morning/evening nature watching. Hot tub was a very nice touch. Easy check-in. Good A/C, which I've learned is about 50/50 in Maine. That was a very welcomed sight! Only *very* minor issue was bed size. They're on the smaller size, but that's nitpicking. Great home!
Beautiful property and very clean. In a quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy. 5 min ride to the beach. The hot tub was a wonderful asset in winter.
Suggestions to earn the 5th star: The kitchen could use improvement: in absence of a dishwasher a drying rack for dishes would be great to have. We only found 1 wine glass in the cabinets - might be good to restock to a full set of 2 :)
The water pressure in the bathroom sink is very low, but in the shower it is fine.
I would definitely recommend this place, and would gladly go back there for another stay.
Everything was as expected. House was sparkling clean with plenty of towels, little amenities, etc. The hot tub and fire pit were awesome. Perfect for a little getaway!
Communication was excellent. Property was clean and had a decent kitchen set up for those who like to cook. Complementary doggie bags were nice. Hot tub was on and running when we arrived. While there were basic spices on hand there was no sugar (plenty of salt though!). It would be nice to have the basics for cooking, coffee preparation on hand.
Quaint house in a nice area, amenities were as listed. The fire pit and hot tub were an added bonus. 15 minutes from Kennebunkport and short drive to beach to see the beautiful sunrise.
Just right for the 2 of us and our son’s dog, who stayed with us at the last minute. Nice backyard for her to roam around and the hot tub and deck were great. Very homey.
We appreciated the proximity to the beach, the provided crib and toys, and the on-site ammenities such as the hottub and outdoor shower. Would definitely recommend to others!

Extra long weekend stay
Stayed for four nights with our dog. Place was clean, fully equipped, and close to everything you need! Our dog loved hitting the beach early in the morning and a beach pass was included! Easy access to lots of shops and fantastic restaurants. Perfect spot to relax while being close to adventure if wanted!
