Our host was highly responsive with any questions and the accommodations for 8 women on a girls trip for Prelude was beyond perfect! Would love to come back.

We loved Kennebunkport and the home we rented was perfect for our group, we especially loved the convenience walking to town. The house is on a lovely street and walking the neighborhood and admiring all the beautiful homes was fun. We also loved the trolley ride and learning about the town. We would recommend this property to others.

A group of 9 friends collectively celebrated a milestone birthday all achieved or will reach over the next year. We had a wonderful 3 days at the house catching up, laughing, and just enjoying the time together. The house was just as advertised on the listing! Beautifully decorated with comfortable beds! We enjoyed our weekend in Kennebunkport! Thanks Charlotte for sharing your lovely home!

This is a great location, walking distance to the Colony Hotel, the Nonantum, and Dock Square. It's very spacious and well maintained for the most part. Beautiful wood floors; substantial furniture; charming original architectural touches. The wallpaper is beautiful. Washer and dryer on the premises that work very well. Same for the dishwasher.
Plenty of parking out front, although a little trick to back directly out onto South Main Street, because the house is located on a curve and a hill, and that makes the view tricky.
The area is wooded and so tends to be a little dark, and there is little if any overhead lighting in the house, which can make it a bit gloomy.
The porch could be charming, but it tended to be wet and buggy during out stay, and I think could have used a cleaning (although I did not check closely).
The kitchen is an odd layout, but we managed fine. As with most rental homes, it was not the best equipped in terms of pots/pans/trays/bowls, but again, we managed and had some delightful meals together.
Most disappointing is that when we arrived, there was an air conditioner in only one of the four bedrooms. We only used 2 bedrooms, but we had to contact the propery manager who did respond, and told my friends that there was an extra ac unit in one of the bedroom closets. After cleaning the dusty, dirty unit, my friends had to install it themselves on one of the hottest days of the summer. That was a big snafu for us, especially the part about installing it ourselves. Sorry, folks - legends to the contrary, Maine is hot in August, and ac is not optional.
Another issue is the lack of a grill. There really isn't a convenient place to put one, as the property isn't level. Down the hill in the back and out into a clearing that overlooks a marsh/pond, there is a charming seating area with a charcoal fire pit, but not a grill. While charming, it was too hot and buggy for us to enjoy while we were there. It's probably lovely in the fall!
Finally, while I am being nit-picky, there are 2 bathrooms, but both are upstairs. The claw foot tub is the front bath is charming, but there is not really anything substantial to hold onto to get in and out, and there are no shelves for soap, shampoo, etc. The shower curtain is not overly effective at keeping water in the shower, which is too bad for those beautiful wood floors!
These are more comments than complaints. The house overall is lovely and we had a great stay!
