Spring in Kennebunk

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful Kennebunk "home" for a week and enjoyed every minute of the stay. Shelly, our host, was super in getting back to us right away with answers to our questions. There is nothing you need to bring with you except your clothes. The home provides everything you need including some wonderful extras. Thank you Shelly for allowing us to spend a wonderful week in this gorgeous home.

We loved this cottage in the middle of kennebunk so much for many reasons: Shelly is such a pleasure to communicate with, she has stocked the house so thoughtfully with things like food (half & half, seltzer, water, cookies), sunscreen, birthday candles, excellent shampoo and body wash, beach buggy, chairs & toys - I could go on. The house is spotless and we loved the warm original wood floors. The linens were top notch - I checked the sheets because I want to purchase some (Cuddledown brand). The AC was really effective and the quietest I've ever experienced. We especially loved the screened porch and spent a lot of time there. Finally, the location is great because you can walk to nice restaurants like 50 Local (highly recommend) which is around the corner, as well as an excellent bakery (Boulangerie) and nice stores like the Octopus bookstore. We would love to go back and rent Shelly's place again.

Fun Weekend Getaway

We had a great family vacation at this house. The house is very clean and comfortable and feels spacious for a 2 bedroom because of the nice screened in porch. The layout worked great for our family and we could watch a movie without keeping our littlest kid up which was great. Also the beds were super comfortable! I am a picky pillow and mattress person and I slept like a baby. We loved being able to walk to dinner at 50 local and easily get to the bakeries in the morning. Shelly had a super clean (and cute!) pack and play and high chair available for us to use which was much appreciated. Overall great stay and would stay again!

Wonderful Stay in Kennebunk

We had a great stay in Kennebunk. Shelly very generously let us use her well equipped, super clean house, which was just the right size for a family with two teenagers. The kitchen was perfectly equipped, with great pots and pans and a wonderful large gas stove. The covered terrace was great for breakfast and dinner and the barbecue worked perfectly. But most of all we loved the fantastic beach equipment! Chairs and beach umbrella included. Kennebunk is a delightful place, with nice little cafés, bakeries and restaurants. Unfortunately we missed the market on Saturday, but we were able to enjoy the free park concert in the park next door. The great beaches are very close by and the parking pass that Shelly provided us with was very helpful. There are so many more details that I can't even begin to list that made our vacation here unforgettable. Thank you Shelly for a wonderful week in Maine!

Great location, great house, great host

My wife and I had spent multiple years traveling to the Mid-Coast area. We thought a location further south might suit us and found Kennebunk and this property to be perfect. We found the house to be within walking distance the charming downtown shops, restaurants and shops, beaches were a short drive away and the attractions on the southern coast were easily accessible. Shelly’s house is set up perfectly and contained everything we needed. The spacious living room, modern kitchen and the cozy bedrooms were chock full of useful and clever amenities. Our favorite spot was the large screened-in porch where we enjoyed morning coffee an evening Maine thunderstorm. Our host was responsive and helpful when we needed her. We look forward to returning to this awesome property.

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Allen

Host profile image
Hi my name is Shelly. I grew up just down the road in York, Maine and raised my children (2 sons) through their younger years in Wells, Maine. When they became school aged we moved to Kennebunk were I have worked for the school system for 24 years. I have summers free which leaves me time to manage a HomeAway property for the summer. In past years I have worked seasonally for fine resorts and know what guests need and want. I consider myself to be adventurous and know the good spots to hike, bike, surf, Golf etc. I look forward to meeting my guests and am ready to assist in any way that I can :)

Why they chose this property

Kennebunk has a great sense of community and the people are very warm and friendly. You can feel the vibe the minute you make your way to Main Street! It is very apparent that it is a community that cares. The beaches and quaint Kennebunkport are most likely the two top reasons the Kennebunks are so popular during the summer season.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this home because of all the light that filters into the living space. With so many windows in such a small house it is always bright and sunny and welcoming! All interior lighting are on dimmer switches to enhance the mood at different times of the day. All floors are wood and in the bathroom tile that looks like wood! The layout of rooms makes a lot of sense too. The back yard is private and is a great place to unwind and cook on the grill. A covered screened in porch adds to the living space. The gas cooking inside is also a treat. There are all brand new high end appliance in the kitchen which makes cooking fun. Also a washer and dryer in the basement and some storage in the garage for any recreational extras (bicycles, kayaks, surfboards etc) you'd like to bring along.
