Expectations Exceeded

5 of 5
Submitted: March 3, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The photographs of this house are lovely but it is even more beautiful in person. We found everything in shipshape condition from the stunning room and deck on the third floor to the private, lower level bedroom suite with flatscreen tv and really cool full bath. We were there during the winter so LOVED sipping wine by the fireplace in the cozy, beautifully decorated living room. Would love to go back in the summer months to take advantage of the patio and outside dining space. If you are planning a get-away with friends, this house is perfect since each bedroom offers a private bath, fireplace and flat screen tv. We loved that we could leave our car in the driveway and walk to town. Our expectations were exceeded the second we stepped in the front door.

One of the most beautiful homes in Kennebunkport

5 of 5
Submitted: February 27, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
A tastefully restored historic treasure situated in a quiet corner of the village, it is the perfect house for vacationers who prefer the ambiance of a 5-star hotel with the intimacy of a private home. It is a great house for entertaining, both indoors and out. Living areas include a beautiful living room that opens to the stone terrace, a comfortable, spacious great room that overlooks the garden, a media room—and best of all, the fabulous tower room with incredible views of the river and ocean beyond, complete with its own private balcony. No detail has been overlooked in the meticulous renovation—and expansion—of the house. Finishes are all high end, and reflect the owners’ attention to detail and a level of taste rarely found in a vacation rental. Perfect for a family or 2 or 3 couples who are looking for a special place to create special memories.
