Explore Kennebunk/Kennebunkport from this classic Cape style home, recently renovated and perfect for large groups! Originally built in the 1800s, charm and character abound in this 5 bedroom/3 bathroom home that can sleep up to 13 guests. Walk to the restaurants, cafes, and shops in Lower Village in 5 minutes or 10 minutes to Dock Square. Other highlights include the country kitchen with white cabinets and butcher block counters, cozy living room, relaxing sunroom, and backyard fire pit. The house is perfect for large groups and families looking for a Maine get-away! It retains all the charm and character of a classic 1800s cape style home, but with the addition of modern comforts (including air conditioning!) A spacious master bedroom with en suite bathroom is located over the garage, providing the perfect retreat after a busy day exploring the town. Three additional bedrooms are located upstairs with a shared full bathroom (please note that two of the bedrooms share a doorway leading to the bathroom), and a fifth bedroom and full bathroom are located on the ground floor. Four single size fold-out cots and a pull-out couch are available as extra beds. The home's living room has a Smart TV, which can be used to stream shows through any major app, including YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu. The living room opens up to a cheerful, cozy sun room on one side and a dining room that seats 8 guests on the other. Evenings can be spent grilling and relaxing on the back deck or spent around the fire pit. Please note: as the home was originally built almost 200 years ago, it retains some unique characteristics of the time period. For example, the 3 upstairs bedrooms have ceilings lower than you would find in a modern home, doorways may be uniquely shaped or smaller than usual, etc. We find that these quirks make the home special, and hope you find enjoy your stay in this small piece of Kennebunk history! Security cameras are located on the exterior of the property and noise monitoring devices (only measures the level of sound, not able to record conversations) are located on the exterior of the property as well.

Kennebunk Cape was perfect for our stay during the Christmas Prelude. Very convenient to almost every event as you are in walking distance to Dock Square and Rt 35. The home was very spacious and clean. The bedrooms were exactly fitting to our needs with extra blankets and pillows available. Very charming old home with lots of room for all. Yes, the stairs were steep to the 3 beds upstairs but no problem for our 4 and 6 yr old. I can see maybe a problem for young toddler. Fire pit was very private with firewood provided. Michael was quick to respond throughout the process. The best place to stay in Kennebunk!

This house was really not a good place for our family to stay, and we ended up leaving two nights early. We had three adults and two children (3.5 and 1.5) at the house. First, the good: * Location is great and you can walk to shops and restaurants * The property owner is very responsive to any questions * If you need a lot of beds, this house can work for you * The kitchen was actually decent (although it's a weird mix of the pots/pans/utensils that are available) The bad: * The house overall is uncomfortable. Think very bare rooms with no rugs, uncomfortable beds, limited lighting. Not inviting or a place you want to spend any time in * This is not a good family house. There is an extremely steep staircase to a few upstairs bedrooms. In my opinion it's actually pretty dangerous for kids or older adults * The house was also missing things it should have had and was not as clean as it should have been. Floors were dirty, WiFi didn't work in master bedroom, there were cigarette butts outside, no firewood for the firepit, not enough towels, grill very dirty, front door had overgrown bushes (to name a few). Essentially, there was zero effort put into making this house inviting and a comfortable place to stay. If all you are solving for are physical beds and location, then this house works for you. If you think you'll spend any time in the home and are visiting as a family, I'd look elsewhere.

We had a family of seven there for five nights. Excellent location as you can walk into town very easily. Plenty of room. Quaint old house. Nice fire pit in the back. It was missing a few things for the property that charged as much as we paid over a busy holiday period. It was lacking the coffee, laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, paper towels, etc The most properties of this cost range include. However, you are literally 150 yards from a quaint grocery store that carries everything like that so not really a problem. Very easy check in process. The interior was clean. The exterior needed some yard maintenance but not bad and it didn’t influence our stay. This is a great property for three couples as it gives you plenty of room inside.

We had an incredible stay here. Michael was extremely responsive and accommodating with every question/request. The location of the house is unbeatable - we were walking distance to town but it was very quiet at that house every night (we stayed for a weekend in June). We were a group of 8 away for a ladies weekend and were all very happy with our stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice getaway to Kennebunkport!

We had a very short stay at this location. Home was very clean and accommodating. I love that there's a diner next door to the house for affordable food. The only thing I believe they lack of is pots and pan, not enough for a family that would stay longer unless they would eat out everyday. but besides that we really liked the rental. Thanks Michael for being very attentive and very quick at responding to my messages.

My husband & I, along with our 2 dogs, rented this house for a fall trip. The house was bigger than needed for us but we loved the charm. It was a great space, quiet, and was an easy walk into town. Michael was a very attentive host. Would definitely stay here again.

We need a place to stay with our extended family of 13 for a wedding, and this home fitted our needs wonderfully. It’s only a block away from the shops and restaurants of Kennebunkport, no car is needed. The numerous beaches of the area are also close by and the owner provides a parking pass. There is plenty of beds, large assembly rooms, a nice kitchen, and good air conditioning. Our two dogs were also welcomed, with a fenced in area to play. We also used the fire pit, to savor the evening. Overall a great place to enjoy the Kennebunk area with a large group.
