This home fit my family's needs perfectly. My wife and I decided to have a family vacation this year. We had 6 adults along with our small child, and the Caly house was perfect. The house was quiet, and tucked back in the beautiful Maine woods. We even had a turkey walk through the back yard as we were having breakfast one morning! Bob has a beautiful home, and we would love to come back again. Thanks Bob...

Great location. This is a home, not a typical rental. Place is exactly as pictures show. This is a cooks kitchen. We did not cook but makes you want to. Great spot for riding bikes to the beach or town. Thanks Bob and Kate Joe

Comfortable and Inviting

This house was great for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 young children). It was spacious enough and comfortable...The trundle beds were a big hit with our 4 and 6 year old and the baby got his own room. The kids loved to play the piano and the huge couch in the living room was big enough for all of us to lounge. The kitchen was great for cooking in meals to avoid the cost of eating out. Everything was at our fingertips so we didn't have to do much improvising at all. It was great to have amenities and supplies already there so we didn't have to worry about packing anything "extra". Location was great too. Short walk to Bennett's store where we got some basic groceries to start our trip. Thanks for making our stay comfortable and easy!

Great Kitchen in a Vacation Rental

We have stayed in the house for two weeks in August 2011. It is great to cook and bake in the kitchen, even a birthday-cake for our youngest. Afterwards we bought a Kitchen Aid at home! The children loved the beaches nearby and the piano at rainy days.

Wonderful Stay at the Caly House

If you're looking for a house that has beautiful surroundings, comfortability, and charm, the Caly House is the place for you. Our family and friends enjoyed Caly House for a week this summer. It is a place where one can relax in the garden reading a book, or go on a short ride to visit beautiful beaches and charming villages. The location, the people, the food, and the services were all outstanding. We hope to repeat the experience again some day soon.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful vacation at this beautiful home! It was stocked with all the necessities and more! We enjoyed the delicious raspberries and lettuce from their garden and felt right at home. It was nice and close to the beach which we enjoyed almost every day! We would definitely stay at this home again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway...if only we could have stayed longer!

We were on a last minute hunt for a Memorial Day Weekend getaway. Lucky for us Bob & Kate were able to rent to us for the weekend. We packed lots in! Walking around Kennebunkport, shopping, the Trolley tour (which our kids enjoyed), daytrip to Portland Head Light, the Narrow Gauge railway, lunch out both days...an hour at Kennebunk beach (in the frigid Atlantic...the kids did not want to get out! Brrrr!). Both nights back to the house for dinner (which was easy to make as the house is very well equipped). Were able to have a quick pickup game of soccer with the little ones in the back garden...speaking of...the garden is gorgeous. It was so pleasant to look at ... the yard is very private and quiet. Truly enjoyed the weekend! Thanks so much...would definitely recommend! Has everything you need & very comfortable! And, our hosts arrived with fresh baked scones upon our arrival! Absolutely super weekend!

Comfortable Home in a Great Location

Our family of four enjoyed staying in your wonderful home during our recent visit to the Kennebunk area. The house is very comfortable, the location is great - minutes to the beach, the Kennebunkport shopping & wharf district and a short drive back to the turnpike. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen (oils & spices) and the many varied games you supplied. Parson's Beach is the most enjoyable in the immediate area and your restaurant recommendations were are target too! We greatly appreciate how "green" your house is with provided soaps, compost pile and access to share your fresh herb garden! We hope to come back someday to enjoy Maine during a different season. Thank you for sharing your home with us and the welcome cookies and fresh flowers were greatly appreciated after a long day of travel!

Great Family Vacation for older kids (8+)

Guest Michele R

Review Submitted 08/27/10

This house is a great size for a single family vacation (kids 8+), with a convenient location. House is within a short bike ride to Mother's beach (about 1 1/2 miles) and biking trails at Rachael Carson Wild life preserve. House was well equiped with kitchen items, gas grill, outside patio & table, as well as the wonderful vegetable & herb garden. There is even a washer & dryer for your use & a Piano that my son really enjoyed. This house is in a quiet residental neighborhood. Beach pass was an added bonus, and will save you a parking ticket at the beach! If we visit Kennebunkport again, we would rent this house & will recommend it to friends!
