Child-friendly property close to the beach

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!

Kennebunkport house

Everything about our trip was outstanding, we got lucky for February with the weather, except our check out day( 6 inches of snow), we walked to the beach everyday. Very clean, and we didn’t need to bring anything. Our family would love to stay again!!!!

Quick and comforting stay

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.

Stayed here for Christmas Prelude

This house was in a lovely neighborhood and was close to the center of Kennebunkport and the Christmas Prelude activities. We were 2 couples and 1 dog. The house was clean with plenty of space. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen had plenty of glassware for wine and cocktails and cups for coffee. One bed was a queen bed and the other bed is a full-size bed, which is a bit small. Fortunately, one of our couples is not too tall, so they took that room. :-) The bed sizes were included in the online description, so it was no surprise. I am just mentioning so others are not surprised or assume a larger bed. We were also a big negligent in reading the instruction manual regarding the heat, and turned up the thermostat on the wall. After a couple hours with it not getting much warmer, we finally looked in the book and it said to use the remotes in each room to control the separate units and NOT to use the thermostat. Whoops! It would be helpful to have a small message at the thermostat saying not to touch it. We were there for the weekend and the house certainly suited our needs and the dog friendly aspect was a big plus for us. We did not have time to take advantage of the hot tub.

Wonderful dog-friendly home!

My partner and I had a great week here with our little dog. There was plenty of yard for our dog to enjoy and plenty of patio space for us to enjoy too, plus a hot tub! The house is quite comfy inside with two comfy beds, a nice couch, two comfy swivel/rocking armchairs and a crib (which we didn’t need, but it looked like a very nice one). There’s and indoor shower/tub combo and an outdoor shower with a bench. I found the outdoor shower very useful for bathing the dog after taking him to the beach one night. I assume it’s mostly there for rinsing before and/or after getting in the hot tub. I was pleasantly surprised to find a seemingly brand new dishwasher in the kitchen. The listing said there wasn’t one, so that was nice! All in all, this was a great place to stay for a week while catching up with friends and visiting the beach!

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!

Extra long weekend stay

We came up from Boston with our dog for four nights. Home has everything you need for a comfortable beach stay, including a beach pass for the nearby beaches. Everything was clean and comfortable. Excellent location near beaches, shops, and restaurants. Not walkable in the summer heat, but just a very short drive. Our dog loves running on the beach in the morning and we enjoyed relaxing at the beach in the afternoons. Check in and out was very clear and easy. Would definitely stay again!

Kennebunk

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!

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!

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.

Quick Stay

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!

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.

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!

Very nice getaway!

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.
