Other things to note
Bass Cove Point is the home of Jan and Rick. Built in 2025, the main house, and adjacent guest apartment offered here for rent, are located on a tributary of the Kennebunk River in Kennebunkport Maine at 66 North Street. The four-acre estate includes a beautiful towering pine grove behind the house, a dock, several picnic areas, and majestic panoramic views of Bass Cove and the Arundel Golf Club course. Our land forms a small peninsula into Bass Cove, so we named the property Bass Cove Point.

Bass Cove Point was originally farmland in the 1800s and parts of our property were used to make masts and rigging for schooners and to manufacture bricks for local buildings. One hundred fifty years ago wooden boats were built in Bass Cove and along the Kennebunk River. A nearby wooden boat-building school continues these traditions today.

Bass Cove Point is not just a property or house. It is a way of life- relaxed, gracious, easy-going, and friendly. It is a place of serenity, natural beauty, tranquility, and hospitality The views are breathtaking, the waters of the Kennebunk River are refreshing, the flowers are fragrant and beautiful, our goal is wonderful hospitality, the furnishings are New England coastal comfortable, and above all, the ambiance is private and relaxing.

Paddle northwest up the Kennebunk River to enjoy the serenity of passing rolling hills, grasslands, estuaries, forests, and pastoral farmlands.

Swim, kayak, or paddleboard from our dock and picnic or grill in the area adjacent to the dock. A gas grill is available for guests, as are kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable rafts, and life jackets.
