The home was quaint and fitted with lovely decor. We felt at home and the home was very clean. Our family of 5 fit perfectly and we would love to return. The town of Kennebunkport was the perfect fall destination.

Quaint Cottage close to town

We loved our stay at the Kennebunkport Cottage Stay! The home was super cute and charming—exactly what you'd hope for in a coastal New England getaway. The location was perfect, just a short drive to town, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The backyard was such a cozy spot to relax, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The space was just right for our family of five—comfortable, clean, and welcoming. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay over the 4th! The home is exactly as pictured and described and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Brittany is a fantastic host and gave us some great information about local attractions. Only thing I could complain about is that we had to leave! We would definitely come back.

This cozy cottage was a perfect home base for our weekend with friends in Kennebunkport. The well-appointed kitchen gave us an opportunity to make meals together and catch up around the table, also good for afternoon watercolor painting.The private backyard firepit was another favorite gathering space to share stories. Our hosts were quick to respond to our needs and we felt very comfortable and welcome in their home.

Gorgeous Home! Gorgeous Town!

This home is gorgeous! Every room was pristine. It’s minutes away from multiple beaches and the surrounding towns we planned on visiting (Ogunquit, Portland, etc.). Brittney was VERY responsive. Answered all of my questions and made herself available at any time. Our family had a great time. Would definitely stay here again (though I have to admit that my wife and I have the itch to purchase a beautiful vacation cottage just like this one. Thanks so much Brittney!
