Classic, summer cottage with all the amenities!

Charming summer cottage with everything you need for a large group of family or friends. The Munson Cottage is a unique 150+ year old summer home that has been in our family for three generations.

The Munson Cottage has six bedrooms and three bathrooms to sleep fifteen comfortably. Linens and towels (including beach towels) are provided. There is a working fireplace in the living room, a large screened in porch, a dining room, and a full kitchen with a glass top electric stove and an antique propane cast iron stove for heat. The large Dining Room has plenty of room for your extended family and friends.

We rent by the week in the Summer and by the night with a 3-night minimum in the shoulder season. The Munson Cottage is a summer house with no central heat. There is no central A/C but each room has a fan to use as needed. Pets are welcomed!

We enjoyed this rustic classic Maine summer cottage. Plenty of room for our crew, great neighborhood, fabulous porch. This property is an easy walk to local beaches, Dock Square, and great ocean views. The cabin gives a summer camp vibe, which was very appealing for our group.

Fun family vacation

Our group of 11 had a great time staying at the Munson Cottage. It is ideally located -- short walk to the beach and a couple restaurants, and town is a quick bike ride or walk away. The house is a charming old farmhouse with plenty of room for a large group. The house is rustic and homey with a fully stocked kitchen.

Great location!

My wife and I love this property - it's a great location for two reasons: it has a yard and it's a two minute walk to the ocean. Also, it has a full kitchen and plenty of space throughout. There is a screened in porch which is great even on a rainy day.

Our Stay at the Munson Cottage

The house was wonderful. We loved that it was an older property as it added to the charm of the place. The owner Chris was great, so responsive when we had a request or question. The property was great for walking to restaurants, watching the sunrise and sunset and biking along the coast. We stongly recommend this house if you are planning a visit to Kennebunkport.

Second Year At Munson Cottage

Great property for our large, 3 generation family. This was our 2nd year there and everything was terrific. We enjoyed both the small beach nearby and the larger Kennebunkport beaches. Other kid friendly attractions are close by. The owners are very responsive. The property has a secluded feel even though close to town. Our grandchildren love the large upstairs bedroom with 5 single beds.

Great spot for large groups

We had a relaxing fun time at Munson Cottage. There is plenty of parking and loads of beds. We have used VRBO for years and this is the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever been in. Also there is an abundance of towels in all bathrooms. The kitchen is wonderful, you won’t need to bring anything. But, the porch, oh how we loved the porch!! It’s a great gathering spot

This is our second time renting the house. Chris is very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. The house was very clean when we checked in and the location cannot be beat. You can walk to the port or to the beach. It was quieter this year, but plenty of people and dog watching from the fabulous screened in porch. The house provides many amenities!

With three generations of family, we are always looking for a place that will accommodate everyone and "Club Munson" did not disappoint!

Fantastic!

Our group had a fabulous week in Kennebunkport! The house worked perfectly for everyone. We had plenty of space, loved the screened in porch, kitchen had everything we needed. Even sat 16 people in the dining room for a family dinner with room to spare. Location was excellent for bike rides to Cape Porpoise and Mother’s Beach. Walked into Kennebunkport center twice a day and witnessed multiple sunsets from the Seaside Chapel on Ocean Avenue. We loved everything about it! Thank you for sharing this gem of a home.

Very conscientious owners!

We live in Naples, Florida and because of Irma we actually never made it to the house. However, in our communicating with the owners we found them to be very concerned and accommodating. Being under no obligation whatsoever they were willing to work with us to make our vacation happen. Unfortunately, it didn't come to be, but we are grateful for their kind offer. Thank you!

Enjoyable stay in a rustic home.

We enjoyed our stay at the Munson cottage. Blessed with cool nights with windows open and a fire in the fireplace to start the morning. Easy walk to the Colony hotel and beach, Port Lobster and Mabel's and lovely walk along Ocean Ave. Short drive or longer walk into town. Plenty of bedrooms and beds for a large family and 3 bathrooms , also appreciated for a larger group. Kitchen has all the basics and very well- equipped with every pot, pan, utensil ever needed. Washer and dryer were appreciated with a toddler along. Lovely yard and wonderful screened porch where we spent a lot of time. Definitely would return. James Munson was a great host and very helpful when we needed for a couple of issues.

Walking to Colony Beach was very easy, and downtown is a little bit further of a walk, but very easy as well. I highly recommend this house if you have a large group.

Bats Bats Bats

First, Mr. Munson did respond quickly to our problems- and there were many. Garbage piled in the house had not been removed and was disgustingly piled in the kitchen. It stunk! The bathroom shower curtain was black from mold, as are the tiles in the shower. The microwave was sparking- no biggy- he replaced it. BUT THE WORST WAS BATS IN THE HOUSE. My grandson came running out of his room in the middle of the night because a bat was flying around. The exterminator came the next morning and told us to have the children checked for bites. There were bat dropping in all the closets ( and I use the word closets loosely) and he said this was too big of a problem for an exterminator. There were several bats in the house and most likely would be back. The rafters are all exposed and could be anywhere. Needless to say-We packed and left!!! There is nothing charming or “rustic” about this house, in my opinion. It was an awful experience
