About this property

Charming summer cottage with everything you need for a large group of family or friends. The Munson Cottage is a unique 150+ year old summer home that has been in our family for three generations. Nestled in the woods, yet only a 5-minute walk to the Colony Beach and breakwater. Dock Square in downtown Kennebunkport is just 1 mile away.

The Munson Cottage has six bedrooms and three bathrooms to sleep fifteen comfortably. Linens and towels (including beach towels) are provided. There is a working fireplace in the living room, a large screened in porch, a dining room, and a full kitchen with a glass top electric stove and an antique propane cast iron stove for heat. The large Dining Room has plenty of room for your extended family and friends.

We rent by the week in the Summer and by the night with a 3-night minimum in the shoulder season. The Munson Cottage is a summer house with no central heat. There is no central A/C but each room has a fan to use as needed. Pets are welcomed!

Great place, great location

Great cottage for large families. We loved the screened in porch for games, puzzling, family time and conversation. Property manager was very responsive to questions.

Great week!

This was our third year renting this great house. The kitchen and porch are definitely highlights and we love the location. The stairs to the second floor bedrooms are a bit steep if mobility is a concern. The first floor bedroom and bathroom worked very well. Hope to return!

Great place to stay!!

We had 14 people in the house, and it never felt crowded. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed. The screened in porch was an amazing feature, and a great gathering place. Walking to Colony Beach was very easy, and downtown is a little bit further of a walk, but very easy as well. I highly recommend this house if you have a large group. We were all very comfortable, and a great time was had by all!!!

Great family vacation

This was our second time renting this house and it worked out great. Lots of space for everyone and perfect location to walk or ride bikes! Sunsets at St. Ann’s are a must see.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Munson

The Munson brothers (Stuart and Chris) spent their summers in the Munson Cottage beginning in 1968. They made lifelong friends, held summer jobs, and came to think of Kennebunkport as their second home. Many extended family members would gather in K-port each summer, spilling over into local hotels to enjoy time together in beautiful Maine. Their father Bob was the heart and soul of the Munson Cottage for decades until his passing in 2011. He would drive up from Virginia each May to ready the house, weed his rock garden and daylilies, and enjoy time with family and friends. He would return in September to enjoy the changing season in Maine and prepare the house to be closed for the winter months. The house continues to be a place for the brothers, their families and friends to gather in the summer to make special memories.

Why they chose this property

The Munson Cottage is over 150 years old and has been lovingly maintained by the Munsons for decades. Great care has been taken to retain the charm and character of our summer home. We hope that other families will make the same lifelong memories that we have made at the Munson Cottage with family and friends.

What makes this property unique

Antique cast iron propane stove in kitchen that still works! We use it to take the chill off the early summer and fall mornings. The large screened porch is always the favorite gathering spot, and the large dining room has plenty of room for the whole gang!
