Clean and convenient location

Clean house with ample space for our family of 4. Fairly well stocked. Great location with access to both walk into town (less than a mile) as well as walk to the ocean to see sunrise (less than a mile). Owner was very responsive.

Amazing location! Super clean and nicely decorated house.

We had such an amazing time in KPT. The house was perfectly located to walk into town and a short ride to several beaches. The house was perfect for our family with nicely laid out floor plan and very clean. Jann was very attentive and available when needed for any questions/concerns. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Stay

My family and I, (3 adults and 2 children; ages 1 and 7) just spent a wonderful week at the property! It was very clean, had everything we needed and was a perfect fit for our family. It was a 10 minute walk to Colony Beach and 15-20 minute walk to downtown. Having linens provided and beach chairs available was a big perk when traveling with kids!

Perfect Location!

Couldn't be happier with the location. The home was as pictured also nice and clean! We had to buy paper towels, hand soap, laundry soap and toilet paper as there was none of the first three and only 4 rolls for the 6 of us for our four day stay. Also very limited tv channel selections with no live tv available. The table top fan in our room didn't work and the stand up fan was broken at the base but we rigged it with tape to hold together. Overall fantastic house worked out perfectly for us. Would highly recommend!

Thank you for your review Gayle. I wish you would have let me know about the fans and the lack of paper towels an TP etc. Usually the cleaning crew lets me know. Also thank you for finding out what the big yellow stains on the white bedspread was so I could try and get them out!

Great spot to stay to walk to all the best places!

This cute cottage was perfect for my family to stay in for my wedding weekend at The Colony. It's open concept, great to host a small dinner, and the pictures are very accurate - it's actually bigger in person than on the pictures, so I was pleasantly surprised! For all intensive purposes, the place was very clean. My stepmother took apart the fans and cleaned out the dust and such on those, along with the dirty outside furniture, but that was just super picky cleaning. We would definitely stay here again!

perfect friend-cation!

My best friend and I traveled to Maine from Nebraska and Ohio with our mom's and our children. This adorable Maine home was just what we needed to reconnect and enjoy the beauty of Kennebunkport. It had all the amenities we needed to play games with our kids, cook from home if we wanted, sleep comfortably, and even enjoy access to Netflix. We loved the easy walk to town as well as the amazing views of the ocean and the rocky coast. Having lived in the New England area a while back. we were also all smiles to find out the close proximity to Cape Elizabeth Lighthouses, as well as Kittery, Maine, for some shopping, and Portsmouth, NH, for some living history lessons for the kids. Jann was a great host, and easy to reach with any questions. We had a wonderful time.

Perfect spot

This house was beautiful and much bigger than I anticipated from the pictures. It was in a great location with easy access to the Port and a Kennebunk beach pass which worked out great for us as our daughter had surf lessons at Gooch's beach. Jann was easy to get a hold of if necessary and very accommodating. We had a great week and would highly recommend.

The Perfect Place to Stay in Kennebunkport

This well-appointed, freestanding home is beautifully decorated and stocked full of creature comforts from cushy bedding and towels to multiple televisions, a great chef's kitchen and beautiful bath. The home offers an outside grilling area, exterior deck and a separate sun porch to enjoy the outdoors. Located a very short walk to the center of Kennebunkport or the surrounding beaches, the home is several houses away from the main road so there is no traffic noise and the neighborhood is quiet. Parking is very easy and off street. Both the owner and property manager are gracious, unobtrusive hosts who are super responsive and have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable and memorable. I'd recommend this home to anyone visiting Kennebunkport. My wife and I will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Jann Levin

Host profile image
Hello my name is Jann and I am the property manager for this great property. I came to Kennebunkport on vacation from Florida in 1987 and fell in love with it. Every year I wanted to come back so 25 years ago we bought a house to enjoy beautiful Maine, great weather and local food, shopping and entertainment! Originally from NY.

Why they chose this property

This property was owned by one of Kennebunkport's best-known old timers who purchased it when he returned home from WWll.....now owned and renovated by his stepdaughter, who grew up in this house.

What makes this property unique
