Oceanfront Estate with Heated Pool, Tennis and Private Beach
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Kennebunkport
I grew up on the east coast and vacationed throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic as a kid. When I had kids, I decided to look in Maine for a vacation house and fell in love with Kennebunkport. The coast is so beautiful here and its easily accessible by car or plane via Portland. Our house offers the perfect blend of quiet along with tons of activities right from our home. We now have three kids and the best part is watching them grow up here and seeing them explore all that living by the ocean offers.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The unique feature of our home is the feeling of solitude you get sitting on the back deck or down at the beach. You feel like you're the only one out there, except for the seals, cormorants and seagulls passing by. Yet there are so many wonderful things to do, from swimming in the pool and ocean, playing tennis, wiffle ball and football with the kids on the beach, fishing, kayaking, and biking to name a few. The food in Kennebunkport is outstanding too, whether your cooking fresh seafood at home or enjoying the fine restaurants in town or in Portland.

Our family had a wonderful reunion at this beautiful and private place. With the swimming pool; tennis court;kayak; beach; and gorgeous ocean views,we felt like we had a piece of the coast of Maine all to ourselves. There was something for everyone--73 yr. to 1 yr! The owner was very pleasant and helpful in promptly answering questions. Would love to go back!

A wonderful home for family reunions or vacations with friends featuring incredible ocean views in a private setting, beautiful and comfortable furnishings, porch overlooking the ocean with picnic table, huge clean heated swimming pool with deck views out to ocean, comfortable beds with pretty quilts and a kitchen with lots of granite counter space. Owner very nice and quick to respond to questions. House very clean. Wonderful nearby restaurants, including Grissinis in Kennebunkport and Pier 77 in Cape Porpoise (make reservations for both). Cape Porpoise Kitchen a great place for prepared gourmet food to go. I hope to someday return to this remarkable vacation spot. Can't imagine a better place to stay in southern Maine.

I just came back after staying here for 4 days for a girls getaway . We all could not stop raving about the place. The wall of windows looking out to the ocean is amazing. The area that the house is located in is just beautiful. The house is fully stocked with things you would need. The owner was great to deal with. He always responded quickly to any question. My friends and I hope to return next year.

The home itself is very comfortable and spread out for hosting our group. The views of the ocean are breathtaking. You can do everything while you are there, or be content just to take advantage of all the property has to offer. The owner is very courteous, prompt, clear and helpful which makes everything go smoothly. We would love to return.

This is the perfect vacation spot. The house and all its amenities are first class. There was something for everyone no matter the age. The pool, tennis court and views of the ocean from every room were fabulous. Can't wait to go back again. The nearby town of Kennebunkport with all its great restaurants and shops was about a five minute car ride from the house.
