This was our second year staying and it now feels like home away from home. Great communication with owners always. Love the paddle boards and kayaks that have been added to the property. We had lots of fun and enjoyed the view.
Magnificent spot on the water near the Kennebunk beach and Kennebunkport. We had the family together in the home for the wedding of our son. The house was great! Great kitchen for entertaining the group. Plenty of bedrooms for our boys and their significant others. The view from the back porch and the back lawn on the ocean is wonderful. Would return in a second. Great stay.
Tons of space to spread out in a dream setting. We had 8 people and count have easily had several more and not felt crowded. On the water and just a short walk to the beach. Checking was simple, owner was flexible and accommodating. Overall a great experience and tons of great menories
From the moment we arrived we knew we found the perfect place to celebrate a very special family event. The owners went out of their way to make everything special for us. This oceanfront home is magnificent, with plenty of space for the grandchildren to play and explore the ocean tides. The views from the bedrooms were exceptional. We enjoyed having two comfortable living rooms to relax in (one with a fireplace) and the dining room was spacious. We relaxed on the porch while watching the sunsets. Highly recommend this home.
Beautiful home with all amenities you could need. The porch overlooking the water was a big hit for afternoon gatherings. Lulled to sleep every night by the sound of the waves. Enjoyed every minute!
Great location - wonderful views and yard. The flowers on this property are amazing. We had a great time during our stay. The entire process was easy and owners were beyond helpful with activity suggestions, restaurants, they even helped guide us to a great place that we rented kayaks during our stay. Hope to go back in the near future.
We stayed at this beautiful home in June. The views from the covered porch and from the 2nd story deck are amazing. You can see Nubble Light in the distance. We enjoyed the private beach and found lots of seaglass and shells. The low tide allows for lots of exploring. The home itself was spacious and comfortable. Our party of 8 adults had plenty of space to spread out. There are 2 living rooms with TVs and one of the living rooms has a game table which was fun. The dining room was huge with a beautiful view of the ocean. The kitchen is newly updated and had plenty of cookware & utensils. The four bathrooms are all new. The master shower is gorgeous!!! The bedrooms that we used (4 on the 2nd floor and the master on 3rd floor) were all comfortable and nicely decorated. We brought our elderly dog and she so enjoyed the beach and daily walks. There is an outdoor shower to wash off feet etc. There is a public beach a short walk from the house and an activity center with a pool that would be fun if you have younger children. It was not open yet for the season during out stay. Andrew, the owner, was very accessible anytime I had a question, and Becky, the housekeeper, gave us a tour upon arrival and was available for any questions/concerns. We enjoyed our week immensely and hopefully look forward to renting it again. Highly recommend!
This is a truly wonderful property in every way. Phenomenal location, extremely comfortable and immaculately maintained. There is so much to do and see in close proximity, but it is equally enjoyable to sit on the porch or lawn or beach and just enjoy the views. Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful family vacation! There was room for everyone and plenty of space for the kids to play. The kitchen is well stocked, bathrooms are nicely updated, plenty of places for relaxing inside and out, and a great dining room table to gather around!
This large Victorian home situated on the ocean was the perfect place for my wife and I to stay while visiting our son in a neighboring town. The home was well kept up, very clean and well equipped. Richard provided wonderful instructions on where to find things and even great restaurant recommendations! Even though I imagine the house is more than 100 years old, all modern conveniences were available to us in the beautiful renovated bathrooms and kitchens. We had our dog with us and loved walking just a few feet down to the beach every day for a walk or two. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The location of this house could not be better - stunning view, proximity to town and restaurants, and very easy access to all of the Kennebunk beaches (including the one right out the back door). The house was immaculately clean and had everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed the gorgeous and very well-maintained landscaping, beach toys for the kids, grills - both gas and charcoal!, and plenty of outdoor seating for enjoying the view. Dick, the owner, was so welcoming, and it was lovely to interact with him before and during our stay. He provided lots of helpful suggestions about the area and was very responsive as we planned the trip and with a question about how to work the TV during our stay. The property manager who met us at the house was also very nice and helpful and quick to respond to our questions. So many thoughtful touches, including rainy day activities for our kids, which came in very handy!! What a treat it was for us to be able to stay in this amazing house!! We truly lucked out and would highly recommend it to anyone! We hope to return some day!!
We enjoyed a lovely 2 week stay. Our primary reason for selecting this area is it's proximity to the KBIA. The local recreation center which has been part of the Kennebunk community for over 100 years. Our kids (9 & 13) took sailing, powerboating and kayaking classes in the cove just in front of the house. We would watch them from the front porch of the house. What more could one ask for. The grass and beach access from the house was ideal too. The kids spent hours making sand castles, walking the cove and exploring Stawberry Island when the tide was low. The house itself is Maine charming with an updated kitchen and bathrooms. The 3rd floor has A/C, but most nights we just kept the windows cracked open for cool air and the sound of the ocean. The owners and the on-site house manger were great to work with, making sure our every needs were taken care of. We look forward to many more returns.
Owner was extremely nice and easy to work with. He made the overall experience a good one.
The house is in an ideal location - right on the beach in a cove. Couldn’t get much better than that. House is nicely stocked and was very clean.
Weather was not good most days, but we still managed to enjoy the peacefulness that Kennebunk has to offer.
We will be going back to this property again!
Everything about our Thanksgiving Kennebunk stay was fantastic: the house, property, amenities, and location. The house is perfectly situated on a beautiful beach with a lovely yard and is well-cared for and charmingly decorated. The kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. The owner, Dick, was very helpful with information, recommendations, and even sourcing firewood for us. We look forward to returning in the warmer months!
Delightful, comfortable house in a perfect location!
This is a handsome old shingle “cottage”, clearly loved by the owner. Kitchens and bathrooms are renovated and beds are comfortable, the view is spectacular, the gardens lovely and the owner and caretaker are both responsive and delightful to deal with. The furniture is rumply and cozy and just about everything necessary is there for your use. It would be hard to improve on our experience unless the house was in the family and always available for free! My husband and I, our son and daughter and her husband and our year old grand-daughter and a couple of dear old friends had a perfect time and were never on top of each other: on the porch, on the beach, reading, doing puzzles, running (some of us...) and eating seafood and scarfing muffins from Congdon’s in Well’s. Oh, and ice cream, from everywhere. We all just loved the place. Not fancy, just homey: a great choice.
My family and i LOVE this house. It is the epitome of a New England summer, just perfect. Plenty of space, gorgeous yard and private beach. Proximity to downtown, easy ride to OGT, grocery store, etc. Incredible views, sunsets, star gazing and so easy with small kids! Dick is easy to work with, very responsive and helpful. We can’t wait for next summer to come back!
The house and property were perfect. 2
We had the most amazing week with family!!

October/Fall get away🍁
We stayed for a week in mid October and had a wonderful time. Some of the guests, it was their first time in Maine and others it was a return visit. The house was very comfortable and the fireplace was enjoyed by all. The weather was a welcome change for the guests from Florida. Swimming wasn’t in the the cards but the views of the ocean were spectacular. The landscape outdoors was beautiful and a joy to hangout and enjoy. Long walks were enjoyed along with shopping in Kennebunkport. We would recommend a stay at this beautiful 1904 Victorian home for a restful vacation.

Beautiful House Directly on The Beach
It was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach that you could hear from most of the bedrooms. The Victorian home is directly on the beach. Probably less than 75 feet to the sandy beach. Love the walk to Strawberry island and the beautiful sunsets. The home was beautifully kept and had a large backyard for the kids to play before frolicking in the sandy beach and bathing in the ocean. An ideal spot for the family, we will be back next year and hopefully many more years.

Amazing home!
My husband and I rented this house over the Labor Day weekend for us and our family. It was amazing. Gorgeous water views from most rooms in the house. Spent many hours sitting on the porch just relaxing and looking at the water. Inside the house had everything that we needed. House was immaculate and kitchen was fully stocked. House had plenty of sheets and towels for the 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The fire pit on the beach was a huge hit for my crew. Dick (the owner) was very helpful every time I called him before I went up and while I was there when I had a quick question. I hope to rent this house again next year and would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a large home on the water for friends or family get-togethers.

A Dream
My family and I had the pleasure of spending a week here this summer. The house is charming, beautifully furnished with (all but one) nice big renovated bathrooms. Upon arrival house was clean, plenty of towels and fresh linens. At peak, we had 9 adults and three children under 4. There was plenty of space for us especially in the beautiful backyard on the ocean. The private beach was so easy with the kids and provided hours of entertaining. The owner, was readily available and easy to deal with. He even popped by making sure that we had everything we needed. Porches, yard, beach, beach gear, plenty of space, grills, this house has everything you will need. You cannot beat this location and this house! We hope we are luck enough to become regulars!
