Relaxing environment, close to center of town, stairs at back made it difficult to get luggage in and out

Hi Andrea! Thank you for your lovely review—we’re so glad you had a relaxing anniversary trip and enjoyed the convenient location. We also appreciate your feedback about the back stairs and will keep that in mind for future guest guidance. We’d be happy to host you again anytime!
Excellent location. Very comfortable. Hung out in the three season room in the evening. Everything worked, was clean and easy to walk into town. Would stay there again.
Great location a very short walk into the centre of Kennebunkport. Plenty of room, nicely furnished and very clean. Comms with Emily very good before and after booking, with clear check-in instructions and good information on local restaurants etc. Comfy beds and a lovely lounge for relaxing.

Hi Nancy! Thank you for your feedback — we’re glad you enjoyed the great location. We’re sorry to hear the home didn’t fully meet your expectations and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It was a pleasure hosting you.
The Beach Hive cottage couldn’t have been better! The location was a lovely 10 walk to Kennebunkport where we wandered in and out of shops and stopped to eat. The cottage was exactly as advertised…a nice New England decor. The cottage was very clean and beds very comfortable! In the short few days that we were there, we had time to sip coffee in the sun room.Emily was a wonderful host and quick to respond to our questions. I would highly recommend this darling cottage to any visitors to the area. Next time we’re in Kennebunk, we’ll definitely choose this cottage as our number 1 choice! Thank you, Emily!

Hi Paula! Thank you so much for your amazing review — we’re thrilled to hear you loved The Beach Hive, enjoyed the location, and felt comfortable throughout your stay. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. 😊
This property could not be better situated to enjoy K’port! Loved being able to walk to restaurants and shops. The two bedrooms upstairs share a full Jack and Jill bath that was not clear in the listing but a pleasant surprise! A second full bath with walk in shower downstairs was great also. Getting luggage and supplies up the stairs from the parking lot and then bedrooms on the second floor posed a challenge for some in our party. All in all a great stay!
