Perfection in Kennebunkport

This home exudes character around every corner. The space has been well thought out, with comfy furniture and extra touches. You’ll have everything you need in this VRBO rental. The kitchen is well stocked, the bed linens and towels are soft and cozy, and if the weather cooperates, beach chairs await your use! The extra touches, such as the books, games, and Bluetooth speaker, really added to our experience. We will reach out again if our travels brings us to Kennebunkport.

Gorgeous historic house in downtown Kennebunkport

We’ve stayed here before and we returned for a reason: Pete and Carolyn’s home is beautifully maintained and ideally located. The house dates back to the late 1700s but is fully modernized and completely comfortable. Rent this home with the confidence that you’ll enjoy your time in Maine.

About the host

Hosted by Pete Wahtera

We lived in Kennebunk years ago before getting recruited to a job in Mn. I promised my wife that we would get back here some day. And we did. (Part Time ) We had a condo first for a few years and when saw this 1797 house for sale we jumped at it. It has been a lot of work but we love it. We rented to the Secret Service( BUSH) for years in the summer - 14 years. We made the change to VRBO a few years ago.
