A lovely stay in Kennebunkport

This school house is very charming. The location is a quick walk to town, which is nice. And the house itself is small, but thoughtfully designed and laid out- and the decor is really pretty. Overall, I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to experience Kennebunkport.

Kennebunkport Keeper!

This stunner of a home was not only comfortable, clean and centrally located, the thoughtfulness of the hosts came through with little extras like travel size toothpaste for guests. We had an absolutely wonderful time and walked everywhere. Plenty of linens, basic supplies and extras provided. The house itself was beautiful.

Prime location

My family and I loved our stay at this house. The location is terrific - right near downtown Kennebunkport but walking distance to both Kennebunk and Cape Porpoise also. The house was immaculate and spacious, with several living areas where we could read, watch TV or play games and is equipped with everything you could possibly want - even Sonos and phone chargers, We sat outside daily on the patio enjoying all the birds and peaceful surroundings. Brett was very responsive whenever I contacted him and even got me a reservation at a completely booked restaurant. Thank you again for that! We all had a wonderful time!

Designed for the Perfect Stay.

Modernized 200 year old school house renovated for comfort and elegance. House is bright and cheerful, is absolutely spotless, and has every convenience. Lovely back porch for a sunset cocktail. The Host is an excellent communicator and will go beyond expectations to ensure you have a pleasant stay. Located in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood 3 blocks from the center of town. Perfect for short walk to lunch or dinner, or an evening stroll for ice cream. And you will pass by the most beautiful historic mansions along the way! This house is a treat for the soul!

Amazing home steps away from downtown

My family and I stayed for a week. The home was perfect for my family and everything we wanted to do. It is less than a five minute walk from town, you can’t beat the location. The beach is a five minute drive away and we never had problems finding parking. The house is well equipped, it had everything we needed. We made several meals with ease and enjoyed the beautiful kitchen. We also enjoyed sitting on the decks and the peace of the backyard. Brett is an amazing host. I can’t speak more highly of him. He was super responsive throughout our stay and nicely offered to mail back a tie we left.I would stay here again and would stay at any of Brett’s other properties if he has them.

Could not have had a better stay!

Our stay at the old schoolhouse kpt was amazing. From the time I hit the accept button on homeaway till we left the house from our trip every interaction with the owner was wonderful. They gave us amazing recommendations, the house had all the conveniences of new but the charm of old. Everything was clean and so nice as well as a great proximity from all the things in town. I could write a dissertation about what a great experience this was for my family and I but I will leave you with this.... Brett made me feel so taken care of The house was everything and more that we had hoped for My mom was celebrating her 60th and Brett made her feel so loved by leaving champagne, banner, and a card for her, we were blown away by this experience. We will be back and this is the only place to stay in my option. Thank you Brett for an amazing experience, a lovely home, and a warm welcome. You and the home exceeded all our expectations!!!!

Lovely Home Perfectly Located

I booked this for my older parents for the month of September. It was a wonderful spot, beautifully decorated, with complete amenities. Brett was very responsive throughout the stay. The kitchen area is perfect for communing with the family, playing card games, etc. It overlooks a wonderful terrace with a firepit. Having both a living and family area offer plenty of spaces to have different things going on in the house (Football game in one room, quieter setting in the other, etc) Bathrooms are nice and functional, beds are very comfortable and linens are top end. Staircases is a little tricky (more of a note for older people like my parents). Location is absolutely ideal; walkable to dock square, easy access to Cape Porpoise, goose rocks beach, gooches. Overall I would book this again. I do think the home charges a premium, and there are better price/value options in the area if you book earlier than we did. And while we were provided contact information for a cleaner to arrange and pay directly, I would expect that a month rental at this price would include a weekly cleaning service.

Best 6 weeks in a long time!

I wouldn’t stay anywhere other than 6 School Street in Kennebunkport. The location is PERFECT as it is a 5-8 min walk to town and restaurants. The house is quaint and extremely well decorated and appointed. Brett went above and beyond to make my 6-week stay comfortable. I learned a lot from him as a host. You can tell he really wants you to enjoy your stay and goes above and beyond which is rare in this often-transactional rental business. He found me a dog boarder, a mail service location, and helped me with my TV questions, etc.. He was always very responsive and helpful. A wonderful home provided the perfect stay for me!

KPT

The house is beautiful - historical with all of the modern amenities that you'd want on vacation. I thought the location was perfect - quiet and on the edge of town but just a five minute walk to the hustle and bustle in KPT....in other words, no need to deal with trying to find a parking space for dinner or shopping.

Exceptional Home

Our visit to Kennebunkport was fantastic! This home is beautiful mix of luxury and comfort. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need from pots and pans, utensils, a keurig machine and wine glasses. The bed linens are of superior quality and everyone in our party slept very well. We had forgotten toothpaste and found that the bathroom was stocked with travel size items and additional toiletries. The location of this home is incredible, we walked into town several times a day as well as to the ocean. The host, Brett, is incredibly responsive and thoughtful. We were sad to go and are already looking forward to a return visit.
