We loved our stay here! Close to everything but out of the chaos. Beautiful setting in the woods and has everything you need for your stay. Would love to stay here again.
Clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated! Communication with host was great and check-in and check-out were easy. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Our welcome gift was a thoughtful extra!
The cottage was beautiful! So clean and so tastefully decorated. Many dresser drawers and closets. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood and also close to all the restaurants, shops, and beaches! We enjoyed our stay and will be back next year!! Thank you Linda and Mark for sharing your home with us!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, spices, dishes, etc. Quiet neighborhood with nice property grounds. We would stay there again. Enjoyed watching the birds with my morning coffee! (See photo)
You cannot choose a better cottage than this Gem. Linda & Mark have gone above & beyond to provide guests with everything they could possibly need for a relaxing night, week or in our case 3 weeks. With a fantastic covered porch & fire pit area just a great way to relax after a day enjoying the town of Kennebunk & Kennebunkport. Can’t wait to return!

Thank you for such a nice review. We enjoyed having you. You and Denise were fantastic guests.
For the “house rules” section, you get the 5 stars. Don’t know why it came up four.
We’d love to host you again.
Quaint cottage/apartment in quiet residential area
We had a wonderful time at our beautiful home away from home in Kennebunk. It was in a peaceful quiet neighborhood and everything we needed was provided by the host.
Very pretty and very comfortable! Has all the amenities you need- we enjoyed the fire pit and grill, and the close proximity to beautiful beaches, loads of thrift and antique stores and terrific Maine food. Very nice hosts as well who made us feel welcome. And we especially appreciate dog friendly people!
What a great find! We were pleasantly surprised and will be back for sure! Great street level space with a fabulous back yard. Great parking and Super close to everything you need and more in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells. The owners were great and gave you privacy and helped you with any questions you may have.
We had a wonderful Maine vacation! The house was clean and well appointed and Linda was very responsive to any questions we had. It was especially nice that the rental included beach chairs, umbrella, and beach pass. We flew in from out of state and it was amazing to have all those things available. Nearby Parsons Beach is a treasure!
Beautifully decorated and well appointed cottage - perfect for a couple.
Relax on the porch, walk to town for dinner, or visit nearby hiking trails.
Owners have very thoughtfully provided beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and parking pass for nearby beach visits.
This is a charming and well appointed beautiful hideaway. Everything you could need (including that all important beach pass) is included. Our hosts were communicative and very helpful. The space was very clean, really pretty, and very quiet which is important to us. A nice walk into Kennebunk and a quick drive to the beach or Kennebunkport. We loved our vacation and our stay at this meticulously renovated home.
My husband and I had a good experience here. The facilities are well-maintained and Linda Lawrence, the host is very responsive and attentive. The location worked for us and little touches like a gift certificate to a local restaurant were appreciated. Thoughtful care-giving attention during our stay. Thank you Linda!
Wonderful location, exactly as pictured. Adorable cottage has everything you need and then some!
Love the decor and the hosts are terrific and very easy to correspond with. Peaceful surroundings with fire pit and comfy seating outdoors too!
Wish we could have stayed much longer !
Thank you, Linda and Mark - looking forward to seeing you again soon. :)
Outstanding in every respect from ease of making reservation to responsiveness of host, the property is ideal for two.
Clean, comfortable and supplied with everything you need to enjoy the “home-like” cottage. There are beach chairs, beach ice chest and beach parking pass.
Nothing is overlooked. Can’t wait for another opportunity to stay
Very well equipped rental in beautiful and convenient setting.
Extremely well equipped and comfortable, quiet one bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Kennebunk. Convenient to I95 and Route 1. Chickens and groundhog in the yard in a very rural setting. Close (driving) to the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge as well as a number of beaches, and the shops are not too far away. The owner was very quick to respond to questions via SMS, but as everything was good we didn't need to communicate much. I would definitely recommend this to others and hope to return sometime.
Super easy to book and the owner answered my questions promptly before booking. This place is the cutest and the colors and decor make it so relaxing. I was only in town for the weekend for a wedding and wish I could’ve stayed longer. I stayed at a local hotel closer to downtown during the summer and this place totally blows it out of the water! The price is right and it was the cleanest place I have ever stayed which is usually (much) pricier hotels. The location isn’t too far from Dock Square and the size of the place is perfect for a couple so you’re not tripping over each other in a small hotel room. I would definitely stay here again if I plan to go back to Kennebunkport!

Why they chose this property
When my husband and I travel we prefer staying in private settings. We know what is appreciated and what is not. We have arranged this little gem as if we were staying here ourself, and we have 😁.
What makes this property unique
Close to everything this beautiful town has to offer, no matter what time of year, and still be so amazingly quiet.
