Our stay was fantastic! The cottage was clean, tidy, delightfully decorated and well stocked beyond our expectations. Rita and Jim were very welcoming and helpful with our navigation of the area. Extras that made our stay especially pleasant were a beach parking pass and a grill for our meal preparation.
Easy check in Rita and Jim showed us to the apartment. Rita had treats and toys for our dog and bowls for food and water. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Rita has worked in hospitality in the past and you could definitely tell with the way the towels were folded and the triangle fold on the toilet paper. It was a great experience the place had everything was quiet but close to everything. Highly recommend staying here if you have the chance. The bed was very comfortable and spacious as well.
Rita and Jim were incredibly kind and thoughtful hosts. From the moment we arrived, everything was set up to ensure a comfortable and welcoming stay. Being able to bring our pups was such a gift; they loved the early morning beach walks, the long walks through Kennebunk on Summer Street, and simply being part of our getaway.The cottage itself is charming and cozy, thoughtfully stocked with everything needed to feel right at home. Rita thinks of everything! A truly relaxing and memorable experience for all of us!
My husband, 2 dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rita and Jim are wonderful hosts and we loved their place. It was price, well equipped and in a perfect location. Highly recommend!
We stayed at this cozy cottage in Kennebunk for four days and absolutely loved it. The home itself is full of charm â very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The lofted bedroom was especially lovely, and the bed was honestly one of the most comfortable Iâve ever slept on.One of our favorite features was the view of the river, which you can enjoy right from the balcony off the bedroom â a perfect spot for morning coffee or winding down in the evening.The hosts were wonderful â kind, responsive, and welcoming without being intrusive. They even left a new toy for our dog, which was such a sweet and personal touch.All in all, it was a peaceful, relaxing stay in a beautiful spot, and weâd absolutely come back. Highly recommend this gem!
We had a wonderful time in Maine, the hosts were great and made sure we had privacy and all the comforts for a good stay. Thanks to them for such a warm welcome
The location is terrific- between Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. The hosts could not have been nicer- friendly and helpful. The apt. was meticulously provisioned.
Rita and Jim are wonderful hosts. They go the extra mile to ensure that you are comfortable and have what you need for your stay. I would absolutely stay again. The home has all of the conveniences needed, is clean, comfortable, and inviting.
Rita and her family were incredible hosts, start to finish. No detail was left out, and they went the extra mile to make sure that we were comfortable and happy. We truly enjoyed getting to know them. Their cottage is gorgeous, peaceful, and a true retreat. Not to mention, the location is ideal. We didn't want to leave! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect Maine escape.
Rita & Jim go above and beyond to make sure your stay is better than you expect. My family of 3 with an 11 year old boy + our yellow lab had enough space. It has everything you need, and owners are super friendly! Good location, short drive to restaurants and all the beaches in the area.
Thank you!

Awesome! Jim +Rita are The Best -host + hostess. The place we stayed at was A+ clean, cozy, loved the little courtyard! They go above and beyond to make one's visit the best! Supplied needs that we didn't even have to ask for! We were made to feel very welcome and even our exit was nice. Love that they allow dogs.. It's really nice to feel at home. We really hope to go back again someday.
My husband, dog, and I stayed in Maine for a week and Rita and Jim were the perfect hosts. The cute little guest house was clean, cozy, and filled with all the essentials we could have needed, AND MORE. The guest house is attached to the main house by a courtyard but allowed for enough privacy for us to come and go as we pleased, or chit chat and ask for recommendations in the area. The beach pass was awesome to have, it made things so easy to drive the few miles to the Kennebunk beaches. And although we brought towels/etc for our dog, they also had those for our use. I can't say enough how pleasant our stay was, thank you so much!!!
Rita and Jim have a wonderful place, so welcoming and convenient too. From our welcome notes, to dog treats, offers to drop us at the beach, bubbles abs a sweet note for our daughter, to yummy cheese and snacks, we felt at home immediately! The guesthouse had all that we could need, laundry, and the most comfortable bed ever!
Weâll definitely be back whenever in the area! Thank you!!
Rita and Jim created a beautiful property that is welcoming at every turn. Being able to bring the family dog is a great bonus and Zoe was welcomed with her own amenities. Every detail was taken care of and we have no doubts that we will return again!!
Maine Beauty: relaxing, great food and interesting places to visit

We not only enjoyed the charm and vibe of the property, we were made to feel very comfortable because of Rita was such a friendly, welcoming hostess. She was helpful while affording us privacy. Rita, our vacation was even better because of you.
Pictures of this little gem donât do it justice! Itâs adorable, comfortable, really beautiful! For me it was peaceful and restorative. The owners have supplied everything (and more) that you could ever need or want! I canât wait to go back! And Kennebunk is a lovely place to spend some time! Iâd give it an A++++!
Jim and Rita have a lovely property and are truly wonderful hosts. We hope we can visit again soon!
Close to everything you want in Kennebunkport. This charming cottage has everything you need or want. A stones throw from The Landing, great for coffee and the best cornbread muffins made daily!
Once again, we loved our stay! Wonderful property with all the amenities that our little family of four needed. Rita and Jim were incredibly lovely and warm, and went out of our way to ensure that our week was as comfortable as possible. Thank you and see you next year!!
My wife and I and our dog Nellie thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. This cottage is very clean and has all of the items you need for your holiday. The balcony off the second level bedroom is an ideal place to have a meal or just sit and take in the Kennebunk River and its gorgeous surroundings. The cottage is well located for a quick trip to the beach or the many excellent restaurants in the area.
Rita and Jim are excellent hosts. Their hospitality extended on their Fourth of July celebration is truly appreciated.
I would highly recommend this cottage for your stay in the Kennebunks.

Maine is just glorious! And Kennebunk has been our summer home for over 20 years . . . Summer Street is a very special place - with so many beautiful historic homes - and we are in the historic Kennebunk Landing area of Summer Street - where sea-faring boats were built from 1766 to 1867 on the Kennebunk River that runs behind our home.
