We absolutely loved our time at Mabel's House! We stayed in the two-bedroom Cove Side Cottage, which was adorable and perfect for our needs.
The staff were super friendly and accommodating. While check in was contactless, someone stopped by shortly after we arrived to make sure everything went smoothly. Someone else came by later to ask us about any food allergies to prepare for the continental breakfast, which consisted of yogurt, fruit, and fresh pastries every day, served in personalized paper bags with our room number on them (so cute!). After the first day when I asked for Splenda for my tea and they didn't have any on hand, the next morning there was a whole dish of Splenda in addition to the rest of the sugar -- so thoughtful!
We loved the location and the fact that it was "on the water" with the tidal estuarine cove. I went kayaking with the free rentals they offered and it was so peaceful. Plus, Colony Beach was right down the road, where we enjoyed watching the sunset on our final night. The shops across the street were fantastic -- don't miss Dannah for Men! And Dock Square was a short drive away. We also ended up eating at Mabel's Lobster Claw (the restaurant right next to the property) for both lunch & dinner. The calamari & chicken scampi linguine were divine!!
Long story short, Mabel's House is a truly incredible place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting...
Read moreWe had a delightful 5-day stay at Mabel's House! Alberto and all the staff were welcoming and gracious hosts and took such good care of us. Their location is excellent — far removed enough from the busy foot and car traffic of central Kennebunkport to offer peace and quiet and a good night's sleep, while just a 12-15 minute walk (or even quicker bike ride or drive) to that lively part of town. Even closer in the other direction, you have a lovely small beach and beautiful meandering coastline dotted with charming seaside houses. I won't soon forget the wonderful running route this provided! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Suite, which was clean, up-to-date, and nicely furnished, and offered our family of four plenty of room to spread out comfortably in. The included continental breakfast was a big help to have, as it let us spend more time enjoying the beaches and less in restaurants. Having bicycles available to borrow gave us a nice way to go see the town, and having use of four EV charging spaces (3 Tesla wall adapters + 1 J1772) was a nice bonus not mentioned in the property description. The associated restaurant next door is a must visit; we enjoyed a great meal there on arriving. Overall, a wonderful vacation spot. We would definitely recommend Mabel's House to friends, and look forward...
Read moreLovely stay at Mabel’s House, while traveling from Washington DC! This is a great location if you want to be a little distant from the main town square but still walkable to everything. We enjoyed our very simple but tastefully updated room; clean white linens, comfy bed and a recently renovated bathroom. The breakfast in the morning was perfect to start the day, with yogurts, banana bread, fresh fruit and coffee. The property sits on a small lagoon and Adirondack chairs were great for lounging after a day exploring. Best of all (in our opinion) were the beach cruisers available to guests for use. We love to bike and it’s a great way to explore a new town. We took the bikes into town, along the coastal road leading to the Bush compound and beyond, and through the neighborhoods to check out the area. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. We had a great visit and can’t wait to return to...
