This was my 3rd stay at KenMa. Spent hours on the porch gazing at the beautiful view, watching boats go by. A very secluded and peaceful location for a much needed escape! A shout out to Honey’s Chicken on Rt 1…has become my go-to meal instead of lobster rolls.

Peaceful retreat

Once again, my stay at KenMa was fantastic. The serenity of this cottage is unbeatable. My only disappointment was that there was not 1 stick of firewood available upon my arrival to take the damp chill away.

Magical KenMa

We had a wonderful stay at the KenMa cottage. It is absolutely magical and tucked away in a perfect, quiet location on the coastal fishing waters of Port Clyde. A short drive to everything you need in Rockland, Rockport or Camden. You’ll feel worlds away. We’ll be back!

A cabin in woods

You are paying for the million dollar view and if you are a Wyeth fan you are 2 doors down from NC Wyeth property he bought in the 1920's Do not drink water nor give to your dog as it has salt in it. It is basic cabin in the woods plain and simple off grifthwoods

Wonderful Cottage

The cottage has a wonderful vintage vibe) We enjoyed our stay using the Porch allot with the Seaside View and used the fireplace at night. This stay is nothing but relaxing, curl up with a good book) Use binoculars for watching the Fisherman and viewing sailboats. The local people are so friendly. There are lots of art galleries to poke around in) And the Port Clyde General Store has good prices for Lobsters. We were there a few times. This will be a do over vacation!

The perfect place to relax!

Everything about this cottage helped us to relax. The view was a amazing and we spent plenty of time just sitting on the comfortable chairs on the porch reading, watching the water and wildlife. The decor is charmingly spare. We enjoyed a fire several nights as the weather was still cool in June. We found the bed to be very comfortable and slept so well in the peace and quiet. The bathroom is simple but adequate. We had an issue with the sink and communication was prompt. The walk to town is easy so this is a place that you could just park your car and not have to drive anywhere for days.

We had a wonderful stay at this simple, cozy oceanfront cottage. The location is beautiful with stunning views and a peaceful deck that quickly became our favorite spot to relax. The cottage itself is comfortable and welcoming, and we’re already planning to return.A couple of things mentioned in past reviews were not an issue for us: there was plenty of firewood available in the shed, and although the tap water is salty, we found a 5-gallon spring water dispenser in the kitchen that was very helpful. A couple of maintenance items were noted (a small leak and a pest issue), which we reported to the property management team after our stay. They have been very responsive, so we suspect these will be addressed for future guests.Overall, this is a lovely, quiet place to unwind, and we look forward to coming back!

Perfect getaway ion the water

Lovely well maintained but very old all-wood cabin with private rock beach. Only 5 minutes from the `coop` to buy fresh fish and lobster. Lots of thoughtful touches, all windows open all the way to permit the sand an fresh air to enter and all are screened to keep out the books. Books to read and games to play. Magnificent ocean facing porch. No Internet, but T-mobile connection on my cell worked OK. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Charming, cozy, cottage, spectacular sunsets, a prompt service

I loved the cottage -- very simple, relaxing, in a remote waterfront location. To me: a cottage. To my partner: a shack...but very nice shack. The fireplace threw out enough heat to keep us cozy in the mornings and evenings (late Sept visit). When it was time to leave, our dog stretched out on the grass, his expressive eyes saying "Are you guys serious? Why are we leaving?" On the not so great: the tap water was too salty for drinking/not potable. We were not prepared for this; however, the management promptly delivered 5-gallon jugs. We brought our own firewood to keep us going for a few days...then hunted down expensive little bundles.

Five star experience with a beautiful water view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a perfect week at this wonderful house. If I could give it six stars for location, I would. It has a 180 degree water view - from the Port Clyde harbor on out to distant islands - with amazing sunsets. Plus a beautiful lawn and steps down to the water and a dock. Big windows allow you to look out over the water plus there's a deck with a hot tub and a grill. Being able to walk into town for the boat to Monhegan, a group kayak trip, coffee or dinner waterside or to pick up something at the general store, make this a very easy, extremely pleasant place to completely relax. My two children, husband and I absolutely loved it and we all highly recommend it.

Property was as advertised: basic cabin with killer location. My wife called it “Glamping”. It could use more light, especially in the bathroom. If I wasn’t 6’1” I would not have been able to fix the windows open. A small step ladder would be helpful. Long term a propane woodstove would es downbe very helpful as even in July it was in the 50’s and house cools down as soon as the sun goes down. There is only one mirror in the cabin. It is in the bathroom and is way too high for normal woman’s height. Otherwise, beds were very comfortable and fireplace was very helpful.

Picturesque, peaceful stay

We had a lovely time at the Kenma Cottage. It was perfect for us--location by the water, full kitchen, cozy and clean, and dog friendly. We appreciated having all the linens in sealed bags, and the efforts to sanitize. The cottage is decorated beautifully and we really got a sense of what it would be like to live in such a wonderful place. The answering service and management at Summer Maine were responsive to our concern about the salty tap water. Our only recommendations are: to let folks know about the possibility for salty tap water in the booking information (it is in the packet in the cottage, but not in the info we received in advance), to note for dog companions that ticks may be a concern in the surroundings of the cottage, and to perhaps add a dehumidifier for those foggy days when the cottage gets very damp. We will definitely look to stay at Kenma again. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

A Kenma Classic

We had a very relaxing stay in the Kenma cottage, a home with 100 years of history. It has all the basics you need for a quiet vacation with an absolutely stunning view from the porch. Ideal for two people but can sleep a third person in the sitting room open area. Main bedroom is small. It is within a 5 minute drive of Port Clyde so if you forget something the General Store is close at hand. I would describe the house as small and missing luxuries such as a dishwasher and washing machine so often expected by modern day renters. The fact that there is no Wi-Fi did not present a problem, we were able still connect using the regular cell phone signal. Being able to buy, cook and eat fresh lobster every day ensured our vacation embraced the true value of a coastal holiday in Maine.
