Summary: 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....
