Lovely street with charming small beach perfect for taking in bird-life and wading in, or walking out during low tide. House had everything you might need..
Perfect house even for two families. Five bedrooms, five bathroom bathrooms, three with showers.. two fantastic decks to be outside. Great fire pit, but you can’t beat the top deck with the view!! the stress just melts away!! the neighbors are friendly as a great cute little beach steps away. It’s the best of everything.!! we will definitely try to go back.

Wonderful stay! The home was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as advertised. Great location, easy check-in, and excellent communication. We'd happily stay here again!
Seamless check-in process. Great views and location! We enjoyed walking to the cute little beach and at low tide Vaugn's Island. It's a quirky fun house. So many nooks and crannies to hang out in. Our family had a great stay!

thank you Tracy! Glad you took advantage and explored. It's such a beautiful spot. Hope we see you again!
Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Kennebunkport vacation home. The house was spotless, thoughtfully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable week.The location was perfect—at the end of a quiet dead-end street with beautiful ocean views. The rooftop deck was the highlight of our stay. With comfortable seating and a refreshing ocean breeze, it became our favorite place for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, and evening sunsets.The home is just 5–10 minutes from downtown Kennebunkport, and the scenic drive along Ocean Avenue is worth taking every time. We quickly fell in love with this charming coastal town. The people were incredibly friendly, parking was easy, and there were wonderful shops and waterfront views everywhere we walked.Be sure to visit Nunan's Lobster Hut for an authentic Maine lobster dinner (bring cash or a check—they do have an ATM), and don't miss Big Daddy's Ice Cream for dessert.The best compliment we can give is that three generations of our family all agreed we weren't ready to leave when the week ended. We made memories that will last a lifetime and are already looking forward to returning. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for the perfect Kennebunkport getaway!

Thank you for this absolutely lovely review! You could write for the maine tourism board! We loved having all of you and hope to see you again.
We surprised our mom for her 60th birthday and had such a blast at the place. It was the best place our family has ever had the pleasure of staying at. We can’t wait to come back!

Sammy - Thank you for letting us be a part of the big birthday surprise! We loved hosting your family. I knew this was going to be a great fit for you. So glad you had fun. We are looking forward to welcoming the Gjeltema family back! Liz
Wonderful property, well stocked with everything you could need and more. Beautiful and convenient location great for family and friends to explore nearby towns or relax and walk to the small beach and Vaughn Island at low tide. Neighbors were friendly and we appreciated getting to know the history of our rental and the Turbat's Creek area. Definitely 10/10 with my children asking if we get to come back next year.

Thanks Nicole! Sounds like you really settled in. I love reading that. Makes for a great vacation. Yes, I DO hope you come again!
Best stay ever!! We had about 8 women with us for a 30th birthday! This house was perfect & way bigger than I imagined. We had a great stay and many walks down by the water, such an amazing view!! The rooftop was a perfect place to sit & catch up after exploring Kennebunkport which is also just a 6 mins drive away! I can’t wait to stay here again in the future!

Thank you for the nice review Jennifer I am happy to hear how much you enjoyed yourselves.
Proximity to the ocean and privacy make this house a great fit for our family. Close to Kennebunkport without the crowds. Watched seals in the bay all week. This is my second stay at this place and I’ll be back again!

House very clean and has all you need for a vacation.
This was an amazing property. It's situated on a quiet cove that was perfect for the kids to explore and splash around in. The house has EVERYTHING you could need and the hosts have made sure to leave extras in the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, etc. We could not have been happier with the location, cleanliness and amenities! We will definitely be back!

The house was perfect for our extended family trip. It was very clear, well stocked and a great layout. Everyone was comfortable and had their own space. The speakeasy was great! The house was very clean, communication was excellent. I highly recommend.
Perfect location. Beautiful house. Idyllic Maine. Thisgood Cove was the setting for a very memorable getaway for 6 middle school friends who are celebrating their 60th birthdays this year. The house is on a dead end street, 2 houses from the water. You can see the water from practically every room. The neighbors are so sweet and friendly. We walked over to Vaughn Island at low tide and explored. Spent time at the beach at the end of the street looking for shells, sea glass and heart shaped rocks. We had dinner at Mabel’s Lobster Claw one night and it was excellent! Would highly recommend but be sure to make a reservation. We stayed in and cooked the other 3 nights. The kitchen is fully stocked! There was not one thing we needed that was not there. It’s like being at home… big bowls, little bowls, baking pans, all kinds of utensils and gadgets..The entire house really gives you everything you need. We enjoyed the old school speakeasy, the water views during happy hour on the rooftop deck, the candy jars in the snack room and the coziness of the sunroom. Justin is an A host. Would love to come back!!

thank you for the great review Nancy! So great that this was your middle school reunion/birthday spot. It's perfect for something like that as there is not a bedroom with a bad view. So no need to flip coins! LOL
We would love to welcome you and your friends again next year for 61!
