Thank you Pamela. I’m happy you enjoyed your stay. It is definitely a very special place.
As always, beautiful location and home. Sharon is always available if needed and provides everything a family could need and then some. Feels like a home away from home.
We love this place! Location is perfect for walking to downtown Kennebunkport Gooch's Beach. Pictures accurately depict the unit. It is super clean and has all the little things we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. Communication with the host is wonderful.

Thank you Rosie. We look forward to your return visit for Prelude.
Exceeded all expectations! Location is amazing. You look out from the peaceful deck thinking that your a mile from the crowds and busy Main Street only to walk 20 yards through connected parking lots to arrive! The condo is lovely and well stocked with things we didn’t know we needed.LOL. Thank you for our wonderful girls weekend.

We really enjoyed staying in this condo. Perfect for 4 of us. So nice to have two full bathrooms. Most of all, we enjoyed time on the balcony overlooking the water and Kennebunkport. The location of this condo is fantastic. Short walk to town!

I am happy you enjoyed your stay. It is a very special spot for sure. Please come again.
The deck was our favorite spot for morning coffee, evening wine, or just watching the town! The location is great! Walking to all the downtown locations was an easy walk and so was walking to the beach if you wanted to! The beach parking pass was a great bonus! Everything was very clean and comfortable! Our host was so responsive to any inquiries I had. Great place to stay!!!

Thank you for your kind words. I totally agree with you about the deck. Love watching the town wake up seeing the lights across the water at night. We are happy you enjoyed your visit.
First stay in Kennebunkport and this was a great place to stay! Everything is within walking distance which made the location prime. The place is decorated nicely and has anything you need for your stay. We sat on the outside deck for morning coffee and evening chats. Mornings in Paris was great for breakfast each morning. We had great conversations with the manager John each morning. Will definitely look to stay here again!

We are very happy you enjoyed your first visit to the port. It is indeed a very special place. You are welcome any time.
The Boatyard is as advertised. The location is ideal. No car is needed; we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Sitting on the deck watching the sun rise over Kennebunkport was wonderful. Would definitely stay at the Boatyard condo again.
