Perfect location!

We loved our stay here! Walking distance to everything and very clean. The porch has a great view overlooking the town and it was nice to sit out there at night and in the mornings. There was a lot of space and we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other (6 adults, 2 teens). We will be staying here again for sure!

A WONDERFUL GETAWAY!

Our time here was heavenly. The house was absolutely beautiful, so well-appointed, and in a perfect location, overlooking the harbor and just steps from everything the Port has to offer. We were lacking for nothing in this great home. The house had everything we could possibly need and want - and more! We loved every minute!!! Les, Kingsley, Daisy and Zachary - from CO

Summer Break

Wanted to Bluebrier is Kennebunkport was better than advertised. A gorgeous home within easy walking distance to shops and many wonderful restaurants. The back porch overlooked the harbor. Perfect for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening.. The place is within easy walking distance to the beach. Have stayed in a number of very nice vacation homes over the years. This charming place is certainly at the top of our list. Stan Paur...

FANTASTIC RENTAL HOUSE

Although we had difficulty finding the house the first time, we loved everything about it. It was very well-equipped--even bicycles and helmets were included--as well as beautifully decorated. The seating areas were warm and welcoming, while the bedrooms were comfortable and restful. The house overlooks the harbor and the town and is an easy walk to great restaurants and shopping. We found the concierge friendly and helpful and easy to work with. We loved sitting on the porch reading or people-watching. This is a great place for a family looking to relax and enjoy Kennebunkport.

Idyllic stay at a home that became ‘a happy place ‘for us also. More charming than even described.

A women’s travel group from Dallas, we each had our own comfortable bedroom The owners gave a list and summary of every major restaurant ,shop, store and excursion we might consider or need. We started and ended the day on the beautiful porch overlooking the inlet. The evenings were spent at restaurants or playing cards. There is attention to detail in every aspect of the home. You can walk easily through dock square and lower Village. Bikes are available also. I’m so glad we chose this special loving home and the owners chose to share it.

The Perfect House

This house is everything it promised to be, and more. The decore is quintessential Maine, as you can see from the pictures, but, believe it or not, it looks even better in person The location is incredible...easy to walk anywhere, and great views from every window. An added bonus is the art gallery next door has amazing sculptures all over their yard, which you get to enjoy. We had a special Valentine's Family Dinner, and the house provided an excellent place to host it, for all ages. I would certainly recommend this house, if you're looking for a top notch property, this is the place for you.

Beautiful, Clean, Perfect Location

Our family of 10 enjoyed our stay and had plenty of room. The home is in a perfect location that you can walk to almost everything. The homeowner gives you 3 beach passes which is a great asset. If you stay in the third floor bedroom, please be aware that there are skylights and you will be awake when the sun comes up. The kitchen and dining room have every thing you need, you may just have to look for it. The only problem was that there was no room for the groceries that we brought. We used a small table in the living room to set them on. Overall, we loved the house, the porch, the family time, and our time in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. We would definitely recommend this home.

Fantastic home

What a beautiful home! We were 6 adults and 1 infant and we had everything we needed . This is a very spacious home and so well decorated. The location is also perfect, right before Kennebunk Port’s bridge. We would go back without hesitation anytime.

beautifully maintained, comfortable house in center of kennybunport

Together with my family of 6, spent a week in Bluebrier. It's beautifully maintained, comfortable and tastefully furnished house in the center of Kennybunkport. Everything is in optimal order. There was no item in the kitchen or elsewhere that we needed and did not find. The hosts were friendly and responded promptly to the few questions that did arise. This is one of the best of the many vrbo/homeaway properties that I have rented over 20 years.

Terrific stay in August

The Bluebrier was ideally located and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Perfect size for two families of five. Plenty of room to lounge inside and outside the house when we weren’t at the beach or in town. We made good use of all the amenities, from the bikes to the lobster pots. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Bluebrier

The home has clearly been loved by the family. Incredibly well located and the multiple levels make it great for hosting couples and those with young ones. Also the best stocked house from a kitchen standpoint that we have stayed at. Perfect for those who love to cook and enjoy meals together. Definitely be back and highly recommend!

Fabulous House in a Fabulous Location

My extended family and I spent a week in Bluebrier in July 2019. It was the perfect house in a perfect location to enjoy everything that Kennebunk/port has to offer. I love to cook, and I have rented many vacation homes, but this one had the best equipped kitchen by far. Everything you could need, though you may need to search to find what you’re looking for. I suggest you survey every cupboard in the kitchen and dining room as soon as you arrive. The five-burner gas grill is the best I’ve ever used. Our nephew and niece stayed with us with their two-year-old, and the third floor suite was perfect for them (but they did have to run out and buy a baby monitor), and they so enjoyed spending every morning at the playground beach in town. This may have been my best vacation ever, and much of the credit goes to Bluebrier. Thank you so very much to Sherry and Steve for sharing your beautiful house!

Bluebrier - Wonderful family retreat

Our family had a wonderful week in early August 2018 at Bluebrier. My wife and I took the bedroom on the main floor, the second floor with three bedrooms was perfect for one son, his spouse and three children ages 12, 9 and 9. The kids used the television in the living room on that floor and played games. Our other son and his spouse took the large bedroom and bath on the top floor. The nicest part of the home is the huge back porch overlooking the harbor. It faced east giving some morning sun and afternoon shade. The two Adirondack chairs in the lovely backyard provided a nice place to enjoy a refreshment in a quiet place while still enjoying the wonderful view of the harbor. The location is outstanding. It was just a short walk to the grocery, wonderful restaurants, shops and the center of activity in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. The owners of this fine home have gone over the top to make it a welcoming vacation home for their guests. Of the many homes we have rented through the years, this was by far the best equipped ever. The cupboards were full of first class cookware and dishes. There were six bicycles, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and assorted equipment for our use. Bluebrier is welcoming whether curling up with a good book or as a base for day adventures to the beach, neighboring villages or Portland. Our concierge, Helen, started texting me an hour or two before we arrived arranging keys, etc. and was very responsive to any questions we had. She is a partner in HB Provisions the nearby grocery. One evening we just wanted to stay in for dinner and purchased a great lasagna and Caesar salad from her store.

Spectacular!!! 10 stars!!!

There are not enough accolades for me to properly express how much we loved staying at beautiful Bluebrier! This house is amazing and the location is unbeatable. You can walk to everything! It is absolutely immaculate, furnished beautifully, and stocked with everything you could ever possibly need, and more. Sherry was super in communication, and Helen, the concierge was readily available, if needed. Sitting on the front porch overlooking the river was my favorite spot! Relaxation washes over you the moment you step into this very lovingly cared for home. And the blueberry pie waiting for us to arrive was a really welcome treat! We were a group of 10 and there was plenty of space for everyone to be extremely comfortable. None of us wanted to go home!! I would HIGHLY recommend this property, and can't wait to visit again. Sherry and Bill - thank you so much for sharing your fabulous Bluebrier with us - it truly is a treasure!!
