We had a great time. The house is exactly what the pictures show. It was a quiet location but close to everything. We would definitely stay here again. Nick and Kayla checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. They responded back quickly if you had any questions.
Kayla and Nick were wonderful hosts! If we had a question, they promptly responded and made sure we had everything we’d need. We traveled with a one year old and they provided a Pack n Play, high chair, booster seat, and toys. The space is exactly as pictured. Very cozy and private. And the location is great! A quick drive to Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach, and Portland. We’d gladly stay there again!
