New England Gem

If you are looking for the ambience of a coastal New England cottage, look no further. Minnow Cottage is a little gem located on the water in a cove with spectacular views from every room and a gorgeous front garden full of hydrangeas. Waking up with morning coffee at the table in the sunroom, whether rain or shine, with a panoramic view of the boats, birds, flowers and wildlife provides an opportunity to savor the simple pleasures of life and will set the tone for the day. This immaculate home is well-appointed and decorated with a sophisticated eye without losing the charm and coziness of a coastal cottage. Brian has accounted for every need to make your stay comfortable and convenient. Minnow Cottage is a short walk to Dock Square for dining and shopping. Lots of dining choices within walking distance including the famous Clam Shack whose lobster roll lives up to its reputation. Loads of antique stores, hydrangeas, beautiful views and seafood throughout Kennebunkport and Kennebunk. We took day trips to Freeport, Rockport and Salem and Gloucester, MA. I fell in love with the area and didn't want to leave. We will be back.

Fabulous Cottage with Exceptional Location

We could not have been more pleased with this quintessential Maine cottage. Incredible location in walking distance to everything. The cottage was exceptionally decorated and the quaint space was maximized through thoughtful coastal design. Even better than the pictures. One queen bedroom was on the first floor, adjacent to the bathroom and kitchen. The other two bedrooms are on the second level of the cottage, accessible by a wee staircase. The single bathroom is cozy and compact. The dining room faces the port and we enjoyed having our morning coffee watching the lobster and whale watching boats. Having cocktails on the yard at sunset was also a favorite, and we got to listen to live music from dock square without having to leave the property. Despite the location the home was very quiet. Having AC is often a luxury in coastal Maine and this cottage was equipped. But a wonderful breeze filtered through the home when the windows were open. While this stay was only my husband and I, it would be a wonderful place for a couple with young children. Charming, sophisticated and perfect location for exploring lower Maine. We will be back!!

Exceeded my expectations!

Minnow Cottage is truly a very special property! The water views are beautifully breathtaking and the home itself is truly magical. The location is close to town and an easy walk to restaurants and shopping. The beaches are nearby and the town itself is so fun! We had a very comfortable stay. The cottage really felt like a home. It had everything we needed and more!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Glaser

My husband and I are the former owners of this little cottage. When we sold it, the new owner asked if I would stay on as the property manager. I eagerly said yes. I enjoy introducing visitors from near and far to this amazing spot in my favorite little town.

I am a native New Englander and live outside of the Boston area. I have my own seasonal cottage in Cape Porpoise (Homeaway #3535073) and have a five star rating after ten seasons of rentals. I strive to provide that great Maine coastal experience for visitors to Minnow Cottage.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like it in Kennebunkport!

What makes this property unique

Unique on the water and in-town location. You just can't beat the experience. Just steps from the front door you'll find great restaurants, lobster rolls, fried clams, coffee shops, galleries and the beautiful quintessential Maine essence that is Kennebunkport!
