Nice Place
The place was clean and very cute. We were disappointed with the jacuzzi tub though because it wouldn't hold water long enough to take a bath. It was close to the beach which was great.

Inside cute, outside nothing to look at but good location
The inside of this cottage was clean and cute except the king bed was the most awful bed I have ever slept in, pitching to the middle. The property on which it is located is a serious eyesore although the location is great.

Escapade manquée
Extérieur du chalet très laid, piscine fermée , chalet pas de fenêtre dans l’espace salon cuisine , petit balcon avec table de pique nique en plastique chipette donnant vu sur un garage délabré. Pas de grille pain ni de verre à vin tellement déçu de l’endroit que nous avons quitté un journée d’avance

Quaint Cottage
The cottage was clean and fresh. You felt welcome the moment you walked in. The property managers were quick to respond if you had a question. It was super nice being able to walk to the beach everyday and take the dog on the trail at the Rachel Carson Nature Preserve. All of the locals were very friendly. It is close to the Maine Diner which offers a nice breakfast menu - all day. The cottages are quaint (we had the smallest). It was always quiet and restful. It is worth checking out!

Nothing fancy
Right off of major road, convenient to Kennebunk. Easy access from I-95. Fine for a place to land in between activities. We were in the area for a wedding and related activities.

Loved the short walk to Parsons Beach and short drive to the Wildlife Refuge! Home was quite comfortable and appropriate for a small family and dog.. pool was clean and simple. A good spot for breakfast “at home “ and relaxing between going to the beach and Kennebunkport!

Quaint & super cozy! Extremely convenient location. Only complaint would be the bed sheets and pillows had a few dog hairs on them. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Kennebunk Stay
Great location for this property. The walk to the beach was very convenient. Several beautiful beaches and small towns are close by as well. There are some great markets in Kennebunk with lots of organic and fresh foods as well. The property was the perfect size for us. The kitchen could use some more basic items for cooking. The property had been cleaned but there were long black hairs on the couches and floors and in the bathtub. The couches are pretty stained and one side of the bed is being held up by slats of wood. We woke up with a backache every day. We could also have used a washer and dryer, there is a space for one. A broom would be nice as well so we could have cleaned up our sand. A few upgrades could make this place really great.

Cute little place
The property was clean and fairly newly remodeled. King bed mattress not that comfortable, but Murphy bed was. Also not 100% clear on where to park with 2nd car. It was about a 10 min drive to Kennebunk and 20 to Ogunquit. No place to eat in walking distance unfortunately. Didn't walk to the beach so no opinon on that. The kitchen was really cute and clean as well. Overall recommended
