You can’t get a better location to visit kennebunkport! Just off Dock Square. Property was beautiful and well maintained. We had two dogs in our party and the fenced backyard was a blessing! Kitchen was huge. We had 11 adults and never felt crowded. Would definitely book again!

Perfect Location!

We loved the location - easy walk to dock square restaurants and shops. Longer but scenic walk to beach (preferred riding bikes there). House was well stocked with pantry items and dishes, cooking utensils/pots/pans, etc. Plenty of room for our multi-generational family of 10! Host/manager were very responsive. Definitely recommend!

Fabulous home

8 friends flew from California and we could not have chosen a better place! House was as described literally a block from town. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for a few chefs to cook up delicious Maine dinners during our stay. Beds were comfortable and showers were Great! The neighbors also so friendly. Two washers and dryers in basement as well. If not for the rain we would have made more use of the yard but we were still able to enjoy our morning coffees on the front porch. Thank you to Nancy and Barbara for making my fireflies visit to my favorite place absolutely perfect!!
