Family Fun in Maine

We had an incredible experience! The house accommodated our family perfectly, offering plentiful space and amenities. We appreciated the cleanliness and thoughtful touches… and the pool was a hit with our kids! It was a great space to unwind after a day at the beach. We look forward to extending our stay next year! Thank you for hosting!

Great Family Vacation

Michael's home was the perfect spot for our family's last minute mini-trip to Kennebunk! It was a perfect central location so close to the downtown. The kids loved the pool (they even swam in the rain!) and the adults really liked the firepit area. We travel in a big group and we were lucky to be able to each have our own room and bed. The kitchen was also stocked with everything we needed for family style dinners. We will definitely be coming back!

RENTERS BEWARE — THIS HOUSE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE LISTING

Aside from the location (convenient to downtown and beaches) this property is an atrocity. We left our trip 3 days early, and the owners are ignoring us. 1. The property is advertised as “newly renovated top to bottom.” It is not. It has some new cheap vinyl floors (which are buckling due to moisture issues) and granite counters. Lipstick on a pig, at best. It’s dirty, dingy, and gross top to bottom. 2. The house has numerous safety hazards, including broken pool ladders, missing smoke detectors, a dishwasher that falls out, and stairs without safety railings. There are also exterior doors without locks, and a broken bulkhead. 3. The house has a distinct mold odor. It’s terrible, and they try to mask it with 87 glade plug ins. You can see the moisture in the walls and in the floor. The roof also shows numerous leaking areas. The suspected mold gave 2 of our guests mold sickness — my 2 year old daughter and 62 year old mother became extremely ill at the house and felt better within 12 hours of leaving. 4. Electricity issues: the circuit breaker tripped DAILY while doing basic tasks, like running the dishwasher or blow drying hair. We were concerned to use electronics and cause a fire. 5. Cheap and dirty furnishings: for the price of the house, I’d expect a mattress thicker than 4 inches and a couch without stains. We covered all the couches with cleaned blankets because they were so dirty. GROSS. DO NOT BOOK HERE.

Excellent vacation property

Once again this property led to a great family vacation had by all. Walked to the beach each day, about a mile and enjoyed the pool after that. Short ride to restaurants and shops. Plenty of room in the house for large families. Great fire pit!

Paradise in Kennebunk

We had 11 people in our party and every family had their own bedroom & bathroom along with A/C to keep the room cool. We enjoyed the pool in the mid afternoon after a day exploring Kennebunkport and the endless shops and eateries. Gotta stop by Clam Shack for a fresh lobster roll or clam chowder!

This was an excellent place to gather as a family during the holidays. There was plenty of space to spread out. Our family made used of the two kitchens for cooking and preparing meals. The living room space was somewhat small for group of 8 adults, but we made it work.

East Wing/West Wing 🙂

We called it the home with an east wing and west wing since the home has two separate kitchens and living rooms connected with a common dining area. It was lovely, comfortable and accommodated our family very nicely for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Great location and proximity to downtown Kennenunkport!

House was very spacious and perfect for our large group. Having two kitchens was very helpful for our group of 10! The kitchens and home was very well equipped and clean. Only a few minutes to downtown Kennebunkport with restaurants and shops. Check in process was extremely easy and host was very accommodating. Thank you! We hope to be back again next year!

Wedding Weekend

This review is two-fold. First, I did reserve the house for two families to stay while attending a wedding at the Colony Hotel over Columbus Day weekend. I ended up getting Covid and was unable to attend. So, my review on my communication with the host is firsthand but the reviews of the property itself are based on feedback from my best friend and my daughter. Michael was a wonderful communicator - always responding to any inquiries promptly and thoroughly. I thought the price of the house was reasonable given the holiday weekend. Reviews of the house (rental was reserved for 12 adults - 6 couples) - 2 families The layout was great for our two family situation given that we each had our own kitchen and that there were multiple baths. There was plenty of room to spread out. It was great that it was dog friendly - the backyard was great for the pets. We would have loved to have been there when the pool was open - it's a wonderful yard for hanging out. The house was very clean and comfortable - one comment is that bed pillows were too puffy but that's always a matter of preference. It was also mentioned that if the house had been at capacity, there probably could have been more towels available.. Very convenient to the downtown area. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would definitely book it again.

Perfect home

We loved staying here. The location was perfect for the group of us with toddlers. The adults could separate ourselves at night so the babies couldn’t hear us and the same thing in the morning when we were trying to keep the babies from waking everyone up! The home was even nicer than pictured.

Kennebunk

The house was plenty large enough with 5 beds, four baths and extra cots throughout. We had one person who was sensitive to dog hair and could not sit with us in the living room area due to dog dander. 😕. Also there was not a sharp knife to be found in either of the kitchens. Pool and fire pit were nice. We did have a few days of rain, which soaked the wood, making it difficult to burn the next night. For the money, I expected a little bit more high end bedding. The size worked well for us, but many other things were just “average”…

Wonderful location!!

Beautiful house! Very clean, quit neighborhood. Property is very well maintained. Had everything we needed for a week long vacation. The pictures are slightly different then what the house is in person but not bad things (updates). Had to put my kids on cots that were provided because there is only 1 bed in each room, they didn't mind but it was not expected due to listing not specifying that detail. Pool was very clean and perfect temperature to cool off after walking to back from town! Would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation

Awesome stay, the location is great for those who would enjoy more peace and quiet but close enough to walk into town and several area restaurants. The space offered in this rental is exactly what our growing family needed. Plenty of bedrooms, common areas to relax and two kitchens were great! The pool area is AMAZING. We spent a lot of time in the pool, enjoying the many seating areas offered and were lucky enough to enjoy a fire by the nice fire pit.

July in Kennebunk

House is in a perfect location! Close to everything! Goose Rocks Beach was my favorite beach. Be sure to try Hurricane restaurant and Mikes all day Breakfast in Kennebunk. Scoop Deck in Wells for ice cream..Shops and restaurants in Ogunquit are a must too! Book a trip sailing on the Pineapple Ketch! The house is perfect for happy hour and pool time before dinner. Beds are comfortable and plenty of space both inside and outside of the house. We enjoyed the fire pit at night under the stars. Host was very kind and responsive.

New Year's Weekend

We had a great time in Michael's place over the New Year's holiday. The was plenty of space for 6 adults and multiple dogs. The fenced back yard was great for them to run around in and the close proximity to the beach was nice as well. Michael provided the perfect amount of communication to ensure we had everything we needed. Would certainly stay there again.
