Perfect Prelude Location!
We stayed with our two kids and pup at this lovely cottage over Prelude weekend! It was the perfect location to pop in and out of activities on a chilly weekend!The house was very well-appointed and very clean and comfortable. Everyone thought their bed was the most comfortable!We were so pleased - thank you for having us!

Fenced in yard
So close to town and very comfortable. Lovely fireplace. Cute backyard with firepit and grill, comfortable table and chairs with umbrella, completely fenced so our dog could be out with us. Parking is a challenge; one car is fine.

AMAZING location!
This cottage was absolutely adorable! It had so much charm. The location is the very best. The furniture was so comfortable, the whole feel inside the house was cozy. We couldn’t have been happier with the property. It was so close to all of the shops but so quiet at night. We brought our two dogs and they loved the fenced in yard. We will definitely be back!

Perfect weekend stay
We rented this cottage at the last minute for a long weekend and we were thrilled that we did. We have stayed at this cottage for the past three years and we keep coming back. The host are wonderful people who take pride in their cottage and work very hard at making certain that all of your needs are met. The cottage was very neat when we arrived and as usual well prepared for our arrival. It is ideal for us to bring our dog to enjoy the ocean and walk with us to the downtown area which is so dog friendly. The home has a great backyard with wonderful neighbors that we talk to every year. The walk or drive to the beach is short and the ability to let your dog enjoy the atmosphere of the ocean early in the morning or late at night is fantastic. It is sometimes difficult to find a cottage that allows you to bring your dog on your family vacation. We live the location of the cottage and can’t wait to go back next year. Thank you Mary Beth and Paul

No frills, prime location
While the location of this rental can’t be beat the condition and cleanliness leave much to be desired. It’s close to the best of Kennebunkport attractions - shops, restaurants, beach, allowing you to walk most places. However, this spot needs a handyman and a deep clean. We appreciate the fact that it is pet friendly but the overwhelming smell of animal leads me to assume it is not properly turned over between guests and that many pets have marked their territory on the many area rugs. The floors were not swept or vacuumed, yet we paid a cleaning fee. The furniture is dated and worn. Some of the amenities included in the cost were not working (dishwasher was broken, spare bath had no hot water, bathtub did not drain, master bath outlet had no electricity, air conditioning would not turn on). The host did ask to be contacted about any issues in the home, however, we did not feel like spending our four day vacation dealing with repairs, we do enough of that at home. It’s just the little things at this property that are going unaddressed. Fixing broken blinds with tape and toothpicks? The nicest part of the home is the yard which is tranquil and well manicured. We made the most of our trip but were not totally comfortable here. It was difficult as we have an almost one year old who we could not properly bathe or allow to crawl on the floor. Side note - she came home with a bacterial skin infection we suspect was contracted during our stay. This is an honest review.

Cozy and welcoming
My family loved staying at the cozy yellow cottage in Kennebunk. The house is just a block away from restaurants, coffee shops and the bridge to Kennebunkport. We absolutely loved the neighborhood, which was super quiet in the off season of March. The house itself was perfect for the three of us and our two dogs. It had everything we needed and the kitchen was well-stocked. There was a bottle of Merlot left on the counter for us when we arrived - a nice touch that we appreciated. Everything was clean and well maintained and the place just had a good feel. We would definitely book again.

Great Winter Vacay
This is our 3rd winter vacation at this property and we absolutely adored it! The location is fabulous for walking around town for shopping & eating. My husband loves to run to the beach on his morning jog. The place is decorated so cute for Christmas too!!! Looking forward to visiting again next winter.

Close but quiet
Property was within a short walking distance to town. The closeness allowed us to stroll around for an hour, get a meal, shop, take a boat cruise, or just walk the pup. The house was very quiet even though it was on the back street. The fenced in yard made things very easy for the pup and us. The house is tiny and so are the rooms. But the dining room is huge. The AC worked great but we only needed it for parts of 2 days. The listing does not state this but there is a great washer and dryer. There are even 3-4 coffee makers. There is just about every spice you could imagine. Pantry space is a bit limited and refrigerator is small, so limit your shopping. Also, there is only one bike and outside umbrella is broken. We were a couple and a dog. It may be tight with 4 adults, you better be good friends. All in all we had a very good stay and made it work for us.
