Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family ( 3 generations) had just completed an enjoyable week stay @ the Bait Can in Kennebunk. As the title says this is a "classic" beach cottage well kept but still retaining the flavor of a cottage from a century ago. Very comfortable with everything you need for your stay. (just look at the pictures) what you cant get from the pictures is that the location is fabulous. Hidden amongst other homes but still very private, with only a several minute walk to a beautiful beach which also had a lil playground area for the kids. This was appreciated when traveling with 4 grand children. The beauty is the area still retains the look & feel of a time long gone. Very peaceful relaxing with a short 10-15 min ride into town if you require more, such as the village of Kennebunk Port for eats, drinks yup shopping for souvenirs. So yes we enjoyed the step back in time.... ##### Mike T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meredith H. Nov 6, 2014 #### BEST FAMILY VACATION EVER My family(my husband and 3 boys) and our best friends(have 4 children) have been renting the Bait Can for the past 4 years. It is by far my favorite place. The house is so cozy and I love to hear the ocean as we sleep. The yard is big enough for the kids to play and the walk to the beach takes a minute. The outdoor shower is a big hit as well. Everything you need is right there. Margy is beyond a pleasure to rent from and she is very accommodating. You will LOVE it!!!!! ##### Meredith H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendra C.

It's located in a quiet neighborhood just a minutes walk to the beach. The house itself has historic charm - beautiful old hardwood floors, nicely decorated - you can tell that generations of family and friends have enjoyed it. The enclosed side porch is bright and warm with the afternoon sun, and the front deck is nice anytime. When we arrived it was hot and humid and the recently added living room ceiling fan made it comfortable, and a few days later it got much cooler especially in the morning and the recently added gas fireplace made it warm. Very nice place with historic charm. Highly recommend. ##### Hardy M. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### K S.

It has all the amenities a family could need. Everything we needed was there - so we were able to stay in the home and enjoy the Mother's Beach.

The owner was very responsive to our questions and the home was surprisingly stocked with all the basics necessities, such as beach towels, hand soap, dish liquid, laundry detergent and cooking supplies.

A nice family beach was just a short walk away and the downtown was a 7-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride. Even though you cannot see the water from the front porch it was an incredibly relaxing place to sit and feel the ocean breeze. Our German Shepard loved to go on walks in the neighborhood and the beach. (When it was allowed.) Everyone agreed it was the best family vacation in many years. ##### Jay F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### sherril b. Oct 2, 2018 #### A lovely experience on the East Coast The Bait Can is a wonderfully cozy and comfortable cottage, conveniently located very near the beach. The house seems to be much as it was when it was built in the 1920’s; the kitchen appliances were updated to modern standards. Our family of 8 adults and 2 babies, plus dogs, enjoyed our time there. Highlights were walks along the beach, meals of lobster, the outside shower, the couple mile walk into town and soaking in the sun on the front porch. We appreciated the opportunity to experience the joys of Kennebunk while staying in a classic beach cottage. ##### sherril b. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### caroline s. Aug 6, 2018 #### Third wonderful stay Our three generations and dog love the Bait Can. It is so comfortable inside and out. How many places furnish a coffee grinder and herbs growing in pots? The beach is steps away and there are many other adventures to explore. Peak's Island was our newest place to visit and went fishing again on the Liberte Rose with Captain Bruce. Kids are a little older now so each slept in a bed instead of huddling on the couch like the first year and every day they made a bigger and better sand castle. The front porch seemed to be the meeting place and the dining table (which is fantastic) is big enough for a full fledged monopoly game on a rainy day. Margy is wonderful. So much is furnished, the generosity is appreciated, and we always leave something for the next lucky folks. It was the best time ever. ##### caroline s. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy A. Aug 5, 2018 #### The Bait Can is perfect for a family vacation. We spent the week at the Bait Can with our two sons and their families. We were 11, with 6 adults and 5 kids ranging from age 4 to 17. It is in the perfect location, just one street back from the beach. There is a large yard, and it is located on a quiet street, so it is great for the children. The house was clean and ready when we arrived, and there is absolutely everything and anything you need there. The owner, Margy Hall, is very responsive and good to deal with. ##### Kathy A.
