Great location for a family getaway.

We enjoyed our stay in Kennebunk. The house was set up with all the necessities for our family to enjoy a long weekend away. It's walking distance to town, a local playground and a great beach. We enjoyed having three of the four bedrooms with ocean views, a great front yard to play in, and great off-street parking. The house itself was large enough for everyone to spread out while enjoying our time together.

Great spot to getaway to!

We had a great time at this beach house. Right across the street from the ocean, just a few minute walk down to beach where there is sand, and is dog friendly (after Labor Day/before peak season they are allowed on the beach all day which is amazing). House was clean and worked perfectly for us. Close to town as well (quick drive). We hope we can come back again sometime!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Deteso/David Deteso

Host profile image
David and Kathy DeTeso currently reside in northern California, but they feel a deep attachment to Kennebunk Beach because David was born and raised just a couple miles from "The Beach House". They make an annual week-long trip to the house each summer with their four daughters to enjoy the beach and visit with friends and family. David and Kathy love to open up their home for rent by guests from all around North America for the remainder of the year. Many guests of The Beach House return year after year to carry on traditions with their family and loved ones. Thanks to their incredible friend and property manager who resides in the area, the house is maintained with excellent care.

What makes this property unique

"The Beach House" is ideally located directly across from the ocean, and within walking distance of both Gooch's Beach and Mother's Beach. The views are amazing!
