FABULOUS property!!

This house is beautiful - inside and outside! Great outdoor secret spot for morning coffee or reading; we spent a lot of time outside sitting near the soothing sounds of the goldfish pond. This house is in the best location - right off Ocean Avenue and Dock Square, you can walk everywhere. Inside is gorgeous and comfortable, kitchen has everything you need. The Carriage House is also a great place for guests.The owners have a notebook filled with information about things to do, restaurants, shops, places to visit, and very interesting information about this historic home.The owner is very accommodating, helpful with any question, easy to communicate with and is just so darn nice.

Beautiful home/perfect prelude

The house was an antique and gave beautiful vibes of classic New England. Also less than a 5 minute walk from all the Christmas action for prelude. It was a perfect home, location, and experience for our little one. Would recommend to any one looking for a prelude fairy tale. 20/10

Beautiful house in great location

We had a wonderful 9-day stay at the Oliver Davis house! The house is old but completely renovated, well-maintained and very well supplied and organized. The owner was quick to respond to some inital questions and comped us breakfast when the stove pilot ignition went out at the end of our stay.

If you are looking for a truly unique place to vacation, this home checks all the boxes and then some! It is impeccably decorated, comfortable, yet elegant, and best of all, in downtown Kennebunkport. Park your car and walk to your hearts content. The Owner has thought of everything….best restaurants, short day trip suggestions and shopping ideas. This house will not be a disappointment!

Photos don't do the house justice

I originally booked this house due to it's location and was a little worried the house looked small (which given it's age was not unlikely). However I was pleasantly surprised at how much space we had. The kitchen is small but very workable and super well stocked. We cooked several meals in and had everything we needed and then some. The dining room was big for game nights, the parlour was a good size for chatting and hanging out. The bedrooms in the main house are very large. The carriage house rooms are smaller but it was nice to have a separate space for people to get away to. Even though the house is so close to the center of town it was still quiet and tranquil. Small improvements could be made like better pillows but the house was very neat and uncluttered and taken care of. I would definitely recommend the house and would go back.
