Summary: Beautiful, functional house. Very clean with responsive owners. This was our 3rd year staying here. Grateful for the time spent!!!!
Angela R. Jul 21, 2024 10:22:06 AM
Summary: We had a great stay at the Gatehouse. We found the home to have enough space for all of us (6 adults and a baby), and it was well equipped with everything that we needed, including a crib! Additionally, we really appreciated the beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, and parking passes, which made our beach day perfect. The house comes with a guide book with everything you need to know about the area, as well as recommendations about activities and restaurants. Very helpful! What we all appreciated most of all was the kindness and helpfulness of the hosts. They were quick to respond questions, and really helped us out when our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. They contacted some of their friends, and found us another place to stay for the night. They even loaned us a portable crib and allowed us to use the beach chairs/passes for the day! This was truly above and beyond and will be remembered.

Summary: We had a wonderful long weekend stay. The house is very clean, quiet, and well-stocked. The location is great - on a very quiet road but close to downtown. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the Owners are very nice. We look forward to our next stay!

Summary: Great property as described. Loved the fire pit and cozy blankets at night (yes, it was freezing but we sat outside anyway!). Well equipped kitchen for preparing Christmas dinner. The outside lights and holiday pillows throughout the house were a nice touch. Jennifer and Pete are wonderful hosts!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the Gatehouse! Great location. Short ride into Kennebunkport and beaches. After a day touring Cape Porpoise, Goose Rocks beach, etc. we returned to the house and enjoyed cocktails around the firepit! Peter was quick to respond to my questions. Would like to return to the Gatehouse again!
Andrew C. Aug 29, 2023 07:50:53 AM
Summary: Wonderful house with everything a family of four needs.
Erika B. Aug 13, 2023 11:01:15 AM
Summary: The house was just like the pictures and the hosts were very responsive and helpful! We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and gas fire pit. Checkin and checkout were both very easy. It was nice to have a beach parking pass available because although there’s a beach only 1.5 miles away, it’s not very walk-friendly (busy roads without sidewalks). I’d definitely recommend staying here!
Chris C. Jul 8, 2023 10:21:43 AM
Summary: Amazing property with great location and very well stocked with amenities. Really enjoyed our stay and was very relaxing. Thank you!!
Diane C. Jun 29, 2023 05:02:42 AM
Summary: This lovely home was a clean & peaceful retreat. A short drive to town, shops, restaurants, beach. Definitely would stay here again!
