We loved our stay at Shellyâs cute home. Great screened back porch was a bonus! Home had everything we needed and more. So clean and comfortable. The location downtown made it extra perfect! Weâll definitely be back!
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.
We loved our stay here. Shelly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Lots to do within walking distance, including great restaurants. The beaches and port are a quick drive away.
Charming little place with everything you need. So close to everything and the owner couldnât be nicer. Very clean and more than enough room for a family stay.
We had a great time at this house! It was very clean, organized and have all amenities you could need for a stay. It was close to all the local beaches and restaurants and beach pass was a plus too! Our host was responsive and helpful when we needed her. We look forward to return to Kennebunk!
This is our second year in a row staying here as a family, and we will be back next year. The house is well stocked and even has beach items to go with the beach pass. I would highly recommend the house for any couple or small family, as well as Shelly, the amazing host.
We loved our stay! The place is small but super adorable and it fit the 4 of us just fine. We loved the screened in porch and grill outside. Everything from the simple decor to the cleanliness to the location was great. The host was incredibly helpful and gracious. Thank you! We'd all gladly stay again.
Property owner great! Everything was perfect! One of my friends is a house cleaner, she gave a ten on cleanliness. It was perfect for the 3 of us, the in closed porch was so lovely. Would recommend for family with two kids, girls trip and more. Close to everything.
A great home for a week in Maine. The house is nicely done and perfectly sized for our group of 4. A great location in Kennebunk, with easy drives to the beaches and other points of interest. Shelly was a great host.
Spent 10 wonderful days in this home away from home. Spotlessly clean, absolutely everything we needed, cannot praise this place and owner enough. Away from the maddening beach crowds but still close enough. Beautiful little town, within walking of cafeâs, French bakery, restaurants.
This place is amazing. The location is perfect, walkable to dining and entertainment. There are so many thoughtful details that make it cozy and relaxing. It is spotlessly clean and organized. A perfect stay!
3 Friends arrived and Shelly made sure we felt welcome. The house was impeccably clean and just perfect. The back screen porch was amazing and our go to almost all of the time. The location was wonderful and we had a great time exploring Kennebunk and all of its beautiful gardens around town. She had lots of information to help with making plans. Great get away.
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!
This home is in a great location and the owner has put this home in excellent condition with all updated appliances . Truly an great home and we would rent this again if the need comes up.
Thanks again Shelly for allowing us to rent your home.
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.
Shellyâs 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.
We selected this house as it felt like the perfect size for our family (2 kids, 6 years old and 4 years old). House met our expectations and Shelly does a great job responding to questions and providing the items you need to make the stay easy. Items like toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, salt/pepper, brita water filter, etc. are all included and the fact we didn't need to worry about any of that made the stay less stressful. Parking pass to the beach made access during the week easy. Great stay and a great host!
We absolutely LOVED Shellyâs place in Maine.
Itâs cozy, CLEAN and had all the essentials we needed.
She is truly a super host. Always got back to us with clear answers to all our questions. Had left little welcome treats for us. : ) And was always very pleasant, helpful and super nice. Although we had planned on re-washing all the linen wherever we stayed, due to Covid, this place was so squeaky clean that we didnât need to. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Kennebunk or surrounding areas.
(only reason I didnât give 5 stars, is that the dishwasher was spoilt, and it was a bit of a pain to deal with, since we planned on eating in a lot. Also, there are probably mice in the kitchen.)
My husband and I and our 2 teenage sons fell in love with this "cutest house ever (a quote from my 15-year-old son)" immediately after our arrival. Not only cute, though, this house was well functioning and very comfortable. Most of all, it was super clean!! I loved the smell of the laundries, which made me want to look into Mrs. Meyer's products :) Location was perfect too. We visited South Portland, Wells, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport, all within a short drive distance. The free Shakespeare play on the park across the house was a nice surprise treat. Shelly was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. We loved the walk to the new bakery "Boulangerie" and the farmer's market. My favorite part of the house was the back porch where we had family dinners in the cool evening air. Thank you for everything, Shelly. We very much enjoyed staying at your house!!

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 :)
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.
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.
