We loved this cottage in the middle of kennebunk so much for many reasons: Shelly is such a pleasure to communicate with, she has stocked the house so thoughtfully with things like food (half & half, seltzer, water, cookies), sunscreen, birthday candles, excellent shampoo and body wash, beach buggy, chairs & toys - I could go on. The house is spotless and we loved the warm original wood floors. The linens were top notch - I checked the sheets because I want to purchase some (Cuddledown brand). The AC was really effective and the quietest I've ever experienced. We especially loved the screened porch and spent a lot of time there. Finally, the location is great because you can walk to nice restaurants like 50 Local (highly recommend) which is around the corner, as well as an excellent bakery (Boulangerie) and nice stores like the Octopus bookstore. We would love to go back and rent Shelly's place again.

Spring in Kennebunk
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful Kennebunk "home" for a week and enjoyed every minute of the stay. Shelly, our host, was super in getting back to us right away with answers to our questions. There is nothing you need to bring with you except your clothes. The home provides everything you need including some wonderful extras. Thank you Shelly for allowing us to spend a wonderful week in this gorgeous home.

Fun Weekend Getaway
We had a great family vacation at this house. The house is very clean and comfortable and feels spacious for a 2 bedroom because of the nice screened in porch. The layout worked great for our family and we could watch a movie without keeping our littlest kid up which was great. Also the beds were super comfortable! I am a picky pillow and mattress person and I slept like a baby. We loved being able to walk to dinner at 50 local and easily get to the bakeries in the morning. Shelly had a super clean (and cute!) pack and play and high chair available for us to use which was much appreciated. Overall great stay and would stay again!

Great location, great house, great host
My wife and I had spent multiple years traveling to the Mid-Coast area. We thought a location further south might suit us and found Kennebunk and this property to be perfect. We found the house to be within walking distance the charming downtown shops, restaurants and shops, beaches were a short drive away and the attractions on the southern coast were easily accessible.
Shelly’s house is set up perfectly and contained everything we needed. The spacious living room, modern kitchen and the cozy bedrooms were chock full of useful and clever amenities. Our favorite spot was the large screened-in porch where we enjoyed morning coffee an evening Maine thunderstorm.
Our host was responsive and helpful when we needed her. We look forward to returning to this awesome property.

Kennebunk is a great town!
We have always spent a week in Maine and stayed in Kennebunkport. We found this Vrbo and we’re drawn by the cleanliness rating (we rented a place on the ocean several years ago and it was so very unclean this is now my main requirement). The house is immaculate, but also high quality finishes in decor and other touches. We lacked for nothing! The location is in the heart of downtown Kennebunk, behind a fun bowling alley/Gastropub. Plenty of breakfast and coffee spots, and Shelly provided a parking pass for nearby beaches. Even if the house were just okay, we’d have plenty to do. But the house was adorable. When we had a rain day, we played backgammon and cooked and truly felt like we were home (if my home were cute and uncluttered!) I cannot say enough about how perfect this house was for my husband, me, and our two adult sons. Shelly is attentive to every detail, we did not need her at all, but when I did message she responded immediately.

Great place to stay in Kennebunk!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The tidy home has quick access to anything of interest in the area - downtown Kennebunkport is a quick 7-10 minutes away as well as all of the things to do outside of that area (ie; local beaches etc). The home was a great size for our family of four with two teenagers - there is a nice size living room to hang out in plus an enclosed porch with ample seating to hang out. The bathroom has a very roomy walk-in shower, with a great ledge to put all of your overnight bags etc. It is very well set up for a short term stay allowing you to keep an organized and calming environment. There is a great kitchen set up with an amazing stove, various coffee makers to use, ample fridge space and an outdoor grill. Whether throwing something together or making a meal, you will find what you need there. The home was extremely clean from the outdoor porch, to the bathroom to the kitchen. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The host was amazing to communicate with - quick communication for any question asked. Also, as far as 'extra' touches, in my experience this was beyond anything I have experienced. It actually makes it hard to rate other experiences now b/c this was so thoughtful, generous and welcoming. Would definitely recommend staying in this lovely home in this quintessential Maine town.
