The Stone House, as this property is called, is a landmark house in Kennebunkport. It is a wonderful 3 generation family home that has recently been updated to preserve it for the generations to come. The remodeled kitchen is fantastic. No item was overlooked with all new top of the line appliances, Viking stove, double ovens, Sub Zero fridge, including a quiet dishwasher. The kitchen also includes a fantastic breakfast eating area that became one of our favorite spots for watching the morning sun and wave action with coffee or afternoon tea. The bathrooms have all been remodeled with walk in showers and crisp new linens. There are new wood floors throughout the house that add polish to every room. Everything has been attended to in perfect detail yet it still remains family friendly and very comfortable. The master bedroom with it's attached deck has the comfiest bed ever. The waves below lulled us to sleep nightly. We were there for a family reunion week and did venture out but the house has the best views of any where we visited so we always found ourselves longing to come back. One of the most spectacular aspects of this house is the way the light plays all around it. There are morning light views, afternoon porch views, sunset watching views, and even rainy "Chowder" day views from the glassed in sun porch. We have been all up and down the coast of Maine but have never seen anything like this house. It is the best vacation house ever! We would highly recommend this property and can't wait to return.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

Our family, including parents, grandparents, siblings and spouses all stayed at the Stonehouse for a week in late June. Over the last couple of years, we've stayed at other VRBO properties and this was the most relaxing, peaceful, scenic place of them all. There are spectacular views of the ocean, sailboats and lobster boats right off of the coast. Every night everyone enjoyed falling asleep to cool night breezes accompanied with the sounds of waves rushing against the landscape supporting the house. The owners were very easy to work with and quick to respond to questions regarding our stay. Everything we needed from cooking, recommendations for local restaurants/fresh seafood markets, spas and shopping they accommodated. As a traveler I would highly recommend this place to those looking to spend time together in a serene and beautiful environment. A week at the Stonehouse is well worth every penny. As you drive thru Kennebunkport and further down Ocean Ave. you quickly realize there's not a place you'd rather be on your vacation than the Stonehouse.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

Our extended family has made many memories in Kennebunkport, but none more special than those made during our stay at the Stonehouse. This is a signature property in Kennebunkport, one that is recognizable to anyone who has spent any amount time there. The views will take your breath away, and the outdoor spaces (there are many) are nicely furnished and equipped (great grill!). Kennebunkport offers many wonderful attractions, but I have to say that we were hard pressed to leave the back porch! This is a most special place---singular in it's location and design, possessing tremendous character and very obviously loved by generations of family members. The fresh sea breeze was a constant during our stay, and we all left the better for it. What's more, the sun porch, living room and bedrooms were extremely comfortable and nicely appointed, and there were plenty of places for our kids to play and explore. Our correspondence with the owners--to whom this home clearly means so much--was delightful. This is the quintessential home by the sea!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

For over 40 years, I have come to Maine every summer of my life. Every summer, I have driven by The Stonehouse. Every year, I have dreamed what it would be like to get to live here. Now I know! What a privilege! There is no better porch in the world. This is my favorite "room" in the house. Every morning I would steal away early with my book to soak up the view, the sound of the waves and the life on the water. When the hectic nature of life in San Francisco starts getting the better of me this fall and winter, I will close my eyes and remember these peaceful moments here on the edge of the Atlantic. What a privilege!!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
