Absolutely stunning! We felt right at home. Franny was a great host. The house is beautiful. It was close by the beaches. The little market nearby was great. The house had everything we could want and more. We were able to enjoy the beach and went to a few of the restaurants recommended. We traveled with our dog and he was right at home as well. We will be back!

We were very happy with our stay. There were plenty of children's books and beach toys for our young kids, and ample seating for our party of 8. The beach towels and supplies were a life saver. Loved being able to to walk to a coffee shop and market in the mornings. Would love to stay here again!

Porch & Porpoise was the perfect fit for our family of five visiting Kennebunkport and the surrounding area. When we were not out exploring, we enjoyed playing games and relaxing. Very comfortable! Thanks for a great experience!

The place was really great. While not “in-town” the location was ideal as it’s across the street from a grocery store and a few restaurants to make life easy.Beds were really comfortable and the place was really clean. Would highly recommend this home for families, it made for a great long weekend stay

Lovely stay at this home. So many local hikes and easy drives to places like Portland and Portsmouth. Beautiful part of the coast to explore and a well equipped house to come home to

We loved our stay at Franny & Luke’s. It was the perfect place for my husband & I to stay with our pup and some of our family. It was a working vacation and there was plenty of room for both of us to spread out and not interfere with each other’s work calls. We loved the proximity to the market and a few restaurants as well as the working fishing dock/marina. Enjoyed all of our dog walks in town and seeing everyone’s beautiful homes. Also so close to local towns for shopping, seeing the sights or heading to one of the many beaches in the area. We would absolutely stay here again!
