40 Ocean was the perfect spot for our family during KPT Christmas Prelude. We parked our cars on Thursday and didn't get back into them until Sunday. The house was clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. We cooked two nights and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It was surprisingly kid safe/friendly as our 18 month old grandson could cruise around without worry. And with the close proximity to town, our adult children got to do some cruising around town too while we babysat. Will definitely be booking this location again.

This is absolutely the best location to everything and a very beautiful, comfortable house. We had 3 couples for a long weekend and it was perfect. The extra space and coziness of the cottage is an absolute perk. No negatives at all.

October Annual Getaway with Friends

Three couples (all part of the gray-haired set) have a yearly trip away on an October weekend. This year we chose Kennebunkport. We couldn’t have picked a better location - a block or two off the square and within easy walking distance to lots of great restaurants. THe house itself is wonderful - both full of historic charm but with wonderfully up to date facilities and lots of natural light everywhere. The second building in the back is the former art studio for a well-known artist who lived there for years. His art fills the both buildings. The studio area is great for a couple or a small family with its 2 bedrooms, bathroom and small kitchen. And it has a wonderful gas fireplace as well. It was a good spot to watch the Patriots lose another game. Took some of the sting out! In the front house, the kitchen was a great place to hang out and very well equipped. Altogether, a wonderful place to spend a weekend. And, thanks to Jamie, who always answered my questions quickly and with grace.

Pretty and comfortable house.

It was a perfect house for our mixed age group. It was a first time visit for most of the group and it was a great success. The teens had great independence for access to the “town”. The adults had excellent lounging in the family room. The kitchen was well stocked and is recently renovated. All in all I recommend it to all.

Great family trip to KPT

Excellent house/ location for family getaway inclusive of grandparents and children. House is clean and well appointed. The layout works well to offer space for everyone and areas for the kids to play. The carriage house was a terrific spot for a movie night and board games. Convenient walking location to town for ice cream or to watch the boats and a short drive to beach. Will stay again.

Perfect Winter Retreat

I'm sure it's gorgeous in all seasons but this was such a lovely getaway for the winter. The house is really beautifully laid out, well appointed and perfect for children in how things are situated in terms of the rooms, the furniture and having lots of clear space for them to play around on the floor with their games and toys without disturbing the set up. It's also a great location for a group because you are basically in town so people can be really independent and just walk in as they want to shop, pick things up, eat etc. Even though we were there in winter there were plenty of food options and we took beautiful long walks every day around the different beaches and preserves. Such a lovely place -- perfect for families, kids and for the off season (as well Im sure as the high season).

Excellent location, but bring your own necessities

This is a pretty house located very close to the town center of Kennebunkport. We were able to walk everywhere - shopping, restaurants, etc. The house is a nicely redone historic home and is quite comfortable. The only problem was that they have stopped providing bath soap & shampoo due to Covid, which was a surprise to us. You may want to bring your own TP as well, since they only provided one roll per bathroom and would not bring any more.
