With the charming village of Kennebunkport just half a mile down the road, you'll be able to walk to an assortment of wonderful restaurants, shops, galleries, and lobster shacks from this classic, comfortable home. As you ride your bikes back from the beach each afternoon, you'll be greeted by a glassed-in sun porch that's perfect for reading, playing card games, or simply enjoying the view of the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, the living room, dining room, and kitchen come together in a light-filled space with hardwood floors, lovely wainscoting, and a built-in window seat. There's a gas fireplace to toast your toes as you watch the wall-mounted flatscreen TV (one of three in the house), space to dine at both the circular dining table and the two-person peninsula breakfast bar, and a separate study just off the kitchen that houses another flatscreen TV and the sofabed. There's a gas grill on the patio, and free WiFi to complement the cozy workspace in one of the upstairs bedrooms.

What's nearby:
This property backs up to a tidal marsh and river, allowing you a view of the water from the upstairs when the tide is fully in. The house is also immediately west of downtown Kennebunkport's many darling restaurants, eateries, and shops, with the heart of the village easily accessed by walking, riding your bike, or driving just half a mile down Western Avenue. Beach-goers can take their pick of Mothers Beach (one mile south) and Gooch's Beach (just over a mile south), and golfers can tee off at the Webhannet Golf Club only one-mile southwest.

Perfect Getaway

It’s exactly like the pictures. Everything is provided for you down to the coffee pods. It’s super close to everything. Even the beach if you’re up for a nice stroll. Unfortunately there was roadwork being done during our stay so we had to drive during the day but that didn’t deter us. We specifically chose to go during the off season so no complaints. We look forward to a future stay most likely during the off season again to avoid crowds.

Very Nice Home

Very nice home for our group of 6. Cozy backyard patio area. House has plenty of space for group of 6 or less. No AC, but plenty of fans in the house to stay cool. Would definitely look to rent again next time we are in Kennebunkport!

Wonderful for Family

We loved staying at Quaint Bungalow in Kennebunk. Small "study" off the kitchen is perfect for a third bedroom...we had a blowup bed for a 3 year old. The master is quite spacious. Bathrooms are both more than adequate...downstairs is a walkin shower, upstairs a tub/shower. The open concept is perfect and the year round porch is beautiful. Location is perfect to walk to town but bring a stroller for the littles. We had no trouble parking for the Kennebunk beaches 3rd week in June. We had an issue with the finicky lock code to get in but we received excellent help from the folks at Vacasa. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be close to the action but not in town.

Second bedroom not as advertised

This property advertises a Queen bed in the second bedroom, but it is only a Full size and it is in poor condition. We would not have booked this property had we known the true make-up of the beds. The rest of the house is very nice.

Charming house, awful check in

First, we were notified 2 hours prior to arrival of construction on street in front of house that started at 6:30 am- 4:30 pm. Very noisy. Second, entrance code did not work and it was 102 degrees outside, Third, the house amenities were misrepresented with A/C when there was only one window unit upstairs in one bedroom. Unacceptable.

Great Location

House was clean and comfortable. Great location for walking into town. There were 6 of us and so we had to use the sleeper sofa. This was a little problematic as there was no door to the room the sofa was in - it was directly off the kitchen. No privacy. The back yard was adequate as were the plastic chairs tho not the most comfortable. Not really a place to hang out. Appreciated the welcome pack from Vacasa with laundry and dishwasher packets.

Charming and clean home

The worst check in on a day when it was 102 degrees outside and 85 degrees inside. Misleading amenity of A/C which was one window unit in one bedroom on the second floor. Unacceptable! After 2 calls to Vacasa other window units were found in second bedroom closet and were installed into second and third bedroom but not the living room. Unacceptable Again! Also, learned that road construction was happening on the street 2 hours before I arrived. They started at 6:30 am and ended at 4:30 pm. They also worked on Sunday, the day we checked out. I was happy to leave this property!

Amazing location, great space

Loved the house: had everything. Check in was a little wonky: the code did not work but we called the management company and used the lockbox. The smoke alarm in the basement (locked) was also beeping but the management company helped us get access to fix it. Overall amazing house and perfect location: walk to the lower village downtown.

Girls Weekend

We do an annual Christmas shopping weekend and this year decided to try Kennebunkport. The house was perfect for the 4 of us. It was very clean, comfortable and within walking distance to local restaurants. The only issue we had was the kitchen wasn’t well equipped if you like to cook. There were no large pots, or cooking utensils but we were able to make it work. We loved the house and are hoping to go back in warmer weather.

Wonderful home close to town

The Quaint Bungalow is just as it sounds. You feel at home the minute you walk in the door. The open floor plan, welcoming fireplace and living room, and closed in front porch provides plenty of areas to sit and relax. The bedrooms are great sized and very comfortable. The house is easily walkable or a 30 second drive to Kennebunkport and all of the shops and restaurants, and a short drive to the beach. My 5 year olds favorite part was the chipmunk (he named chocolate chip) that met us on the driveway every morning. Wonderful house!

Enjoyed our stay at this house

The house is better than pictures shown on Vrbo. Very spacious. Beds were very comfortable, including the pull out couch bed in the den. Knowing there is no AC, was excited the bedrooms had window AC units. It is a short block to really nice breakfast/lunch restaurant and walking distance to Dock Harbor. Will consider this house again for future east coast trips.

Perfect Stay in Kennebunk

The house was a perfect stay for our little family. The open layout meant kids could play and watch TV while we made dinner and visited with family. The yard and patio was perfect for firepit and making smores. My kids and wife loved the little window seat, so that was a great memory to have. The location was perfect with a quick walk into town, and close to everything. Overall the house was perfect and already looking forward to going back!
