Many things in the house were damaged, not repaired. Water and ice were disconnected from refrigerator. Host interaction was very prompt and helpful.

Birthday Weekend
Barefoot Bliss was fantastic. It fit our group of 10 comfortably with extra space. Great location (you could walk to Kennebunkport, the beach, more). Check in / check off was easy. We would definitely return.

Great stay
We were there 2 weeks in August and loved every minute. Huge house with many bedrooms and private baths. Large, open kitchen and living area is awesome. Somehow, despite being so close to the beach (5 min walk) this home is very private. Great view of river, nice deck with dinner table and umbrella. Lovely, private back yard. Plenty of parking. Easy walk to Dock Square as well. This place has it all. A gem.

Heavenly hideaway
House great for large family. Quiet road. Not far from the beach. Just a mile or so from the town. Boats to go whale watching. Restaurants and shopping.

Barefoot Bliss Well Named!
We especially liked this lovely home's location - beautiful marsh view with occasional deer, ducks, and egrets - and on a quiet street.The home's description was accurate and there was room for all of us comfortably. It was a short walk (10 minutes) to the beach, and the teens enjoyed the longer doable walk to the Kennebunkport shops. You will need to bring your own beach chairs, maybe a cart, and puzzles and games as these are not available at the house.

Happy customer
The house was everything we could have asked for for a quick weekend away. The listing’s pictures were accurate, as well as the description provided. The location couldn’t be beat, as we walked to downtown Kennebunkport and Gooch’s beach numerous times. The only negative, which didn’t affect our stay that much, was that the trash barrels outside were full before we arrived and the back door was semi broken (which prompted me to communicate with the host to make sure they knew we aren’t liable for such). Besides that, it was a great and easy stay. Vacasa and VRBO made the check in and check out experience smooth and efficient.

Great house
House was large, well stocked with cooking essentials, steps from beach and a reasonable walk to town. Had 9 people that all fit comfortably. Would be a 5 star other than property management company (Vacasa) was not responsive to our issues( no room for garbage, TV issues, shower broken, ice maker not working)
