About this property

Family owned home, Walking Distance to Dock Square

This family-owned home is the perfect house for a family vacation. This bright and cheery historic home is conveniently located in the village of Kennebunkport -- Dock Square -- which is packed with restaurants and shops. All just a short stroll away, which saves yourself the hassle of parking in town. This really is one of the best features of the house.
This house is located on a quiet dead-end street, that only contains about six houses.
The house has three bedrooms, a modern, well-stocked kitchen, a bright full bath upstairs, an outdoor shower, and a newly remodeled bathroom and second living area with a TV downstairs. You'll find a cozy living room, dining room with a large bay window, open kitchen with dining counter downstairs. There is a small porch on the front of the house, perfect for your morning coffee. Charcoal and gas grills are in the backyard to cook your outdoor meals.
We recently installed two mini-splits, which offers cooling and additional heating on the first floor. They do not cool the bedrooms upstairs.
This house has internet and streaming services on the TV. Feel free to add your own while you stay. There is no cable television or live TV.

Please note, the town has strict short-term rental rules. We cannot exceed TWO CARS at this property, and noise ordinances are in place to ensure that we remain compliant with our town-issued license: STR21-00302. Any fines that we incur during your stay will need to be paid by the renter.

(Note: We have two dogs, one of which is shedding, so if you have pet allergies this house may not be for you.)

Location is key
location, location, location. This house is perfectly situated if you are looking for a place to stay that is quiet yet withing a short (and pretty) walk to Dock Square. Plus, the Kennebunk beaches are a very quick drive and the property comes with a beach pass. The kitchen worked out really well for a family of 4. The owner leaves specific instructions for the renters on how to maintain cleanliness of the home during your stay as well as what must be done before departing. This is a cute home for a couple or a family. If you are traveling with curious toddlers, I'd recommend packing child proofing items (as we did) as it is an older home (which is part of the charm).

Great Location in Kennebunkport
Wonderful house on High Street where we stayed for 2 weeks in August. Fantastic fully equipped kitchen where we enjoyed preparing meals and sandwiches for the beach. Every room had fans so we got to enjoy the fresh Maine air. Walking into the Port took just minutes, close to shops and restaurants. Parking pass for the beach came in very handy.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Forrestal

Host profile image
My husband and I are school teachers, and we have owned the house since 2008. This is our summer retreat and the only home we own. We share it when we are not using it ourselves. We have three children who love the activities in the area. Our Kennebunkport home has become our heart. We have two dogs, so if you have pet allergies this house may not be for you.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is one of its best features. You are walking distance of all that the Port has to offer, so you never have to drive to dinner or ice cream. This house has lots of historic character with modern updates--as well as an outdoor shower!!
