Kennebunkport Waterfront Cottage - Ocean View

I came to the Paddy Creek Cottage with my son in July. I loved it so much, I brought my husband and our kayaks this month. We had so much fun. Even though it rained a bit during the week, that didn’t dampen our stay. 😎. Idyllic setting, super cute cottage and very nice hosts. I know we’ll be back!

Lovely cottage right on the water. Great location off the beaten path but also close to wonderful restaurants and shopping. Lovely hosts as well!

We loved this place and its tranquil location so much last year, we came back. Cozy, rustic and spacious—-this cottage worked great for our family of 4. We rented paddleboards and a kayak for the week, and planned all our days around the tides. Paddled out to Goat Island Lighthouse during high tide. Read in the hammock or shopped in town during low tide. We used the dock for jumping into the water and picnicking. The beautiful and spacious screened in porch now also has windows that close—which was a huge help during some rainy days. The owner Joan is welcoming and responsive. We were so sad to leave.

After an absence of several years, we recently returned to Cape Porpoise for vacation and to visit family. What a find in the Cottage on Paddy Creek! The daily, slow-paced show of rising and receding tides in a quiet, peaceful cove off the Atlantic was the perfect remedy to forget about the normal stressors of work life. The cottage was everything we hoped for (and more). The highlight was clearly the porch (where we spent most of our time). Due to flooding in the off season, it had recently undergone extensive renovation including installation of windows which provided plenty of screened ventilation when opened, but could be closed for chilly mornings. The porch was perfect for watching the aforementioned tides and large enough to host family (a party of 8) for a 4th of July dinner with after dinner cards and conversation. The kitchen is good-sized and fully functional. Plus there is a gas grill outside. We prepared and ate most of our meals at the cottage (lobsters and other seafood from the lobster pound on the other side of the inlet on Langsford Road—try the soft-shelled lobsters). The master bedroom was very comfortable. The day beds in the living room were a little small for our adult son, but would be more than adequate for younger children. The fireplace, while not used in the July heat, has us thinking about maybe returning sometime during cold season. Our hosts, Joan and Phil, were wonderful. Very responsive to our requests prior to arrival and friendly and responsive while we were there. We plan to be back next year.

This is a lovely place spotlessly clean in a very quiet spot the property has been recently refurbished after flooding which has enhanced both it's appearance and comfort. Our stay was blessed by almost perfect weather a hard place to tear yourself away from.
