Top Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

Drakes Island Beach Front Breathtaking Property : Oceanviews and Sandy Beach !

10/10 Excellent

"The kitchen wasn’t very clean—mostly inside the cabinets. But was the end of the summer. And think things can slip. But the location is divine! And the communications w hosts just super! Love, love this place!"

Ocean View Dog Friendly Cottage 4-min to Kennebunkport

10/10 Excellent

"My husband, myself and our doodle all had an absolutely wonderful stay at Seas the Moment cottage. Patrick, Erin, Kelly and Jon were fantastic hosts providing all the information we could want or need before we ever had to ask for it. They were very attentive and the cottage was extremely well equipped, super comfortable and clean and perfect for being able to enjoy all our favorite Kennebunk and Ogunquit activities throughout the day before settling in for a comfy night and home-cooked dinner. We can’t wait to stay here again and truly recommend this property!"

Dog Friendly Seacoast Retreat, Spacious Home for Family & Friends with A/C

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! It fit our family of 17 perfectly! The host was super friendly and very quick to respond from the time of booking and during our stay. I would recommend to family and friends and hope to return someday."

Stunning 5BR home w/ pool, beautiful yard, near beach, sleeps 8–16 comfortably

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect rental for a large family with kids! We had 14 people-8 adults & 6 kids, and were all very comfortable with plenty of space. The kids enjoyed taking walks on the quiet street and the “Cousin cove” bedroom. Everything we needed was provided, hope we can come back next year!"

Cute cottage 1 mile from Drakes Island Beach with antique interior

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Just the right combination of rustic original charm and fully functional modern amenities. The area itself was beautiful with several attractive dining options."

Studio condo with screened porch and seasonal pool/pool table - near beaches

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean, however there was only 1 lamp and it was on the dresseracross the room from beds. There was no lamp on nightstand. The furniture was old, second hand. The kitchen was nice but cramped, and the bathroom ceiling had mold. The location, however was great!"

Ocean View 4-bed, 2 bath w/AC minutes to Beach or Kennebunkport

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful week!! Easy check in with provided code, house was very clean and so cozy. They did a fantastic job with the decor to make it feel like home. Plenty of blankets/pillows/towels and well stocked kitchen. Amazing location, a short walk to a really cool trail and plenty of places to fish/explore. If you’re into running/walking, you can take that trail all the way to Gooch’s Beach (2 miles) passing Mother’s Beach and Middle Beach. It was stunning! One thing to consider is that it’s on a main road, but you wouldn’t know from the back yard which was a great place to end the day with string lights and a comfortable fire pit. Hosts were very responsive. Highly recommend! Hope to return!"

Charming 2-bedroom cottage in Kennebunk with AC and deck.

10/10 Excellent

"The house is super cute and bright. Amazing to sit out on the deck and watch the tide come in and out. Great for a family with small kids, but limited outdoor space./no grass. 10 or so minute walk down to the main beach, but the parking pass was included was so helpful. Host was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend."
