Quaint Bungalow

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

With the charming village of Kennebunkport just half a mile down the road, you'll be able to walk to an assortment of wonderful restaurants, shops, galleries, and lobster shacks from this classic, comfortable home. As you ride your bikes back from the beach each afternoon, you'll be greeted by a glassed-in sun porch that's perfect for reading, playing card games, or simply enjoying the view of the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, the living room, dining room, and kitchen come together in a light-filled space with hardwood floors, lovely wainscoting, and a built-in window seat. There's a gas fireplace to toast your toes as you watch the wall-mounted flatscreen TV (one of three in the house), space to dine at both the circular dining table and the two-person peninsula breakfast bar, and a separate study just off the kitchen that houses another flatscreen TV and the sofabed. There's a gas grill on the patio, and free WiFi to complement the cozy workspace in one of the upstairs bedrooms.

What's nearby:
This property backs up to a tidal marsh and river, allowing you a view of the water from the upstairs when the tide is fully in. The house is also immediately west of downtown Kennebunkport's many darling restaurants, eateries, and shops, with the heart of the village easily accessed by walking, riding your bike, or driving just half a mile down Western Avenue. Beach-goers can take their pick of Mothers Beach (one mile south) and Gooch's Beach (just over a mile south), and golfers can tee off at the Webhannet Golf Club only one-mile southwest.

The house is nice, perfect for a family or small group. It’s well appointed with towels for bath and beach. Everything worked and kitchen was sufficiently stocked with utensils pots pans plates etc. my criticism is the booking was managed by Vacasa and they are next to useless when it came to any questions we had. The outside of the house could use some love, better outside seating set up etc. Be mindful of the weather as the house doesn’t have any central a/c but there are a few window units one in each bedroom none in the main living area though. Plenty of fans throughout the house both ceiling and box fans so you can get the air moving but you need to work for it. I’d suggest having the cleaning crew move the couch in the living room, or slides easily and was pretty nasty underneath. Overall a perfectly fine house to stay for the week, walkable to town, you’ll probably want to drive to the beach if you have little kids. Parking is limited at the beach so get there early

Charming house, awful check in

First, we were notified 2 hours prior to arrival of construction on street in front of house that started at 6:30 am- 4:30 pm. Very noisy. Second, entrance code did not work and it was 102 degrees outside, Third, the house amenities were misrepresented with A/C when there was only one window unit upstairs in one bedroom. Unacceptable.

Great Location

House was clean and comfortable. Great location for walking into town. There were 6 of us and so we had to use the sleeper sofa. This was a little problematic as there was no door to the room the sofa was in - it was directly off the kitchen. No privacy. The back yard was adequate as were the plastic chairs tho not the most comfortable. Not really a place to hang out. Appreciated the welcome pack from Vacasa with laundry and dishwasher packets.

Amazing location, great space

Loved the house: had everything. Check in was a little wonky: the code did not work but we called the management company and used the lockbox. The smoke alarm in the basement (locked) was also beeping but the management company helped us get access to fix it. Overall amazing house and perfect location: walk to the lower village downtown.

Perfect Getaway

It’s exactly like the pictures. Everything is provided for you down to the coffee pods. It’s super close to everything. Even the beach if you’re up for a nice stroll. Unfortunately there was roadwork being done during our stay so we had to drive during the day but that didn’t deter us. We specifically chose to go during the off season so no complaints. We look forward to a future stay most likely during the off season again to avoid crowds.

Girls Weekend

We do an annual Christmas shopping weekend and this year decided to try Kennebunkport. The house was perfect for the 4 of us. It was very clean, comfortable and within walking distance to local restaurants. The only issue we had was the kitchen wasn’t well equipped if you like to cook. There were no large pots, or cooking utensils but we were able to make it work. We loved the house and are hoping to go back in warmer weather.

Enjoyed our stay at this house

The house is better than pictures shown on Vrbo. Very spacious. Beds were very comfortable, including the pull out couch bed in the den. Knowing there is no AC, was excited the bedrooms had window AC units. It is a short block to really nice breakfast/lunch restaurant and walking distance to Dock Harbor. Will consider this house again for future east coast trips.

Wonderful for Family

We loved staying at Quaint Bungalow in Kennebunk. Small "study" off the kitchen is perfect for a third bedroom...we had a blowup bed for a 3 year old. The master is quite spacious. Bathrooms are both more than adequate...downstairs is a walkin shower, upstairs a tub/shower. The open concept is perfect and the year round porch is beautiful. Location is perfect to walk to town but bring a stroller for the littles. We had no trouble parking for the Kennebunk beaches 3rd week in June. We had an issue with the finicky lock code to get in but we received excellent help from the folks at Vacasa. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be close to the action but not in town.

Stench, bugs and oppressive heat and ignored service from the Property managers after emails

We arrived it was oppressive heat with all windows shut. The stench from the swamp the property is on was overwhelming. To open the windows you could taste it, running fans did not offer relief. We went out and purchased 4 additional fans. I contact Vacasa the first time at 1:30am when we could not get relief from the smell or the heat. We were told there would be a service tech arriving Monday. I contacted them by phone and e-mail over the next three days and each day I was assured someone would come and check on the property. No one came. The surround property neighbors (I can provide their names and contact info) claim the stench is prevelant everyday throughout the summer months and more so in the heat. We had accommodations with bugs running around on the sinks and there is not sleeping for 6. I have photos of that 3rd bed which was not a bed it was a PAD not a mattress, and it sat in the swamp the window was directly on the first floor over the smelliest part of the property. The property is a health hazard and the management company did not honor the service agreement. We request the refund we deserve and will proceed with legal steps if necessary. Outrageous as it is all documented in the messages as well as the 4 calls that I spent a minimum of 30-50 minutes a day.

Lovely home but..

Lovely well equipped home walking distance from restaurants, shopping, docks, etc. The cottage is updated with large bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms. We picked a bad week to be there and did not realize there's no A/C. The exterior lock is a real challenge and super frustrating (it consistently times out before the 10 digit code can be entered). The cottage sits on a busy road with a narrow drive and no place to turn around. I'm sure it's not an issue in the off season. Overall, we appreciated the cottages but will likely not book again for the reasons noted.
