Cozy 1890 Cottage Studio with Hot Tub and Fire Pit in Downtown Kennebunk
This lovely studio exudes a charming cottage vibe while retaining its gorgeous 1890s allure. It is situated in a peaceful area just a brief stroll or bike ride away from the historic downtown Kennebunk, which offers delightful coffee shops, local cuisine, boutique stores, and a lively Saturday farmer's market. The Kennebunk/Kennebunkport beaches are only a 5-mile drive away, and a beach parking pass is included, saving you $25 per day. This is an ideal location for those seeking a quiet retreat away from the crowds while still being within close proximity to all the action. Additionally, it is less than 2 miles from Interstate 95, making it easily accessible from Portland.
I am new to VRBO but I am a highly reviewed 9 year host on the other popular platform. The studio has a comfortable Queen bed with luxury sheets and beautiful quilts. It is equipped with a 32 inch Roku TV for watching your own favorite Netflix, Hulu or Amazon subscriptions. Wifi throughout.
The kitchenette has a table for two, an apartment sized refrigerator, convection oven, microwave, skillet, Keurig coffee maker with pods and all dishes & utensils for the convenience of morning coffee, at-home dining & picnic makings. Also enjoy our backyard BBQ grill for your outdoor lunch or dinner. Have your morning coffee in the backyard and listen to the birds.
The studio has a large clean bathroom with shower (no tub). This unit is suitable for one or two people with the possibility of an additional baby or small child under 2 in a provided pack-n-play (upon request), however the studio is not child-proofed.
Linens & towels are provided as well as beach chairs, beach towels, cooler & picnic basket. Don’t worry about overloading your car with these beach necessities!
Other area features besides the beaches and shopping & dining include the Eastern Trail biking/hiking system as well as many other secret (just ask!) trails nearby. Some guests have enjoyed bringing or renting a kayak to paddle the Mousam River which leads to the ocean. Just yards from the Inn, you can enjoy coffee shops, restaurants, bowling, the Saturday morning farmer’s market and Wednesday evening concerts in the park. … all quaint unique Maine experiences.
The fire pit is the ultimate quintessential Maine experience to enjoy your wine, beer, margarita or S’mores! It’s like camping in the middle of town! The inflatable hot tub must be experienced to be appreciated. It is amazing that whatever stresses you have can be soothed away by a small inflatable hot tub!!
"Maine ... The way life should be.”
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

This is a place with character. A nice old Maine home with a comfortable bed, steps from restaurants and the farmer’s market. I’ll stay here again.

Great location - close to major attractions
Property was exactly as listed. Perfect for 2. Very clean & had most of everything we needed for a long weekend. The house is very big and separated into different units which allowed for privacy for everyone. Sherry was always available via text & answered any questions, including great suggestions for restaurants, promptly. Remember that the unit has no stove but you can bbq if you wish outside. The hot tub was great, especially on a rainy evening when walking around the town was out of the question. My only suggestion would be the unit could use a cutlery set or at least steak knives. This property is located in Kennebunk, not Kennebunkport so you have to drive if you're heading to Kennebunkport, which is just a few miles away. But Kennebunk itself is just a stones throw away with great restaurants, an awesome bowling alley with award winning menu & lots of antique and/or vintage shops walking & driving distance on the main strip. The locations is excellent as it allows for you to visit all the major town attractions in minutes. Great host, great location, great environment & great price.

Short Stay
We had a lovely stay. A friend and I stayed for 3 nights while we traveled around the area. It was nice to have a beach pass to use. Sherry also had chairs and a cooler for us to borrow for the beach. She has a cute backyard with a hot tub. She was easy to get in touch with. We had a nice stay
