Kennebunk Stay

Great location for this property. The walk to the beach was very convenient. Several beautiful beaches and small towns are close by as well. There are some great markets in Kennebunk with lots of organic and fresh foods as well. The property was the perfect size for us. The kitchen could use some more basic items for cooking. The property had been cleaned but there were long black hairs on the couches and floors and in the bathtub. The couches are pretty stained and one side of the bed is being held up by slats of wood. We woke up with a backache every day. We could also have used a washer and dryer, there is a space for one. A broom would be nice as well so we could have cleaned up our sand. A few upgrades could make this place really great.

Cute little place

The property was clean and fairly newly remodeled. King bed mattress not that comfortable, but Murphy bed was. Also not 100% clear on where to park with 2nd car. It was about a 10 min drive to Kennebunk and 20 to Ogunquit. No place to eat in walking distance unfortunately. Didn't walk to the beach so no opinon on that. The kitchen was really cute and clean as well. Overall recommended

Great property inside

Super cute, tiny house. Easy access to Kennebunkport, Parsons Beach, and hiking trails. I was off-season so it was hard to get a sense of the immediate area - quite a bit of construction going on on the property (no noise) so it was difficult to get a sense for the grounds/community.

Tight quarters but cute

The cabin was cute but the location was tough. Proximity to the main road made it feel less like a cute cabin and more like a motel. The check in and out process was flawless, and the neighbors were friendly. The pet friendly accommodations are what made it a consideration for us.

Beautiful and comfortable inside, surroundings outside rough

The inside of this property is first rate - beautiful finishes, very clean, very comfortable especially the bed and bathroom. But this property is located in a community with junkyards immediately outside the window and on a very busy road. There is no where immediately outside the property to walk your dog. It is a nice walk to the very beautiful Parson's Beach, but the community is just so rough I would not go back.

Recently renovated/Great location!

I loved the location of this place within walking distance to Parson's beach. The cottage was recently renovated. My kids enjoyed the pool and the added bonus was the playground on site. Upon arrival the place looked better than the pictures; however, we did find hairs on the murphy bed sheets and the stack of blankets and pillows in the closet also had hairs on them. The property management was on top of it though and delivered new sheets to us right away! They wre very easy to contact and very prompt. I would definitely stay here again. My favorite part was the location and the beautiful scenic walk to the beach.

Inside cute, outside nothing to look at but good location

The inside of this cottage was clean and cute except the king bed was the most awful bed I have ever slept in, pitching to the middle. The property on which it is located is a serious eyesore although the location is great.
