Sunrise Shores sits directly on the sands of Gooch’s Beach—one of the most sought-after stretches of coastline in Kennebunk. This quiet, residential beachside area offers the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience, with breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of waves right outside your door.

You’re just steps from the scenic breakwater where the Kennebunk River meets the Atlantic, creating a unique vantage point to watch fishing boats, sailboats, and yachts pass by throughout the day. Morning walks along the beach, sunset views over the water, and peaceful coastal breezes are part of everyday life here.

Despite its tucked-away feel, you’re within walking distance or a short bike ride to Dock Square in Kennebunkport, where you’ll find charming boutiques, local restaurants, art galleries, and ice cream shops. Nearby coastal drives, nature trails, and landmarks like Walker’s Point make exploring the area easy and memorable.

This neighborhood is ideal for guests looking for an authentic Maine coastal experience—quiet, scenic, and truly special.

Guests will have full access to the entire home during their stay, with the exception of the garage.
