Grand and Beautiful "Cottage"
Rock Ledge is an incredible house, built in the 1880's by Ralph Emerson, the architect who originated and popularized the Shingle Style. The house was sensitively renovated. It's extremely comfortable, with an enormous front porch ideal for looking at the ocean and the many sailboats passing by. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room (when you aren't eating on the porch as we mostly did) is large and handsome with good views. The bedrooms are all of good size, several with ensuite bathrooms. The house is set high up on a hill so the views of the ocean are superb. The Cape Arundel neighborhood has many other beautiful homes and is quiet and peaceful. It is close to the charming village of Cape Porpoise. There is good biking in the area and there are several excellent restaurants nearby, including the restaurant at the Cape Arundel Inn, a five minutes from the house.

The perfect New England beach vacation
When you think of having a summer vacation in an adorable New England beach town, this enormous stunning classic home (and the town it's in) are straight out of central casting. The house is one of the original grand beach mansions in Kennebunkport and yet updated just perfectly so it retains all its original charm AND is highly functional. The owners are absolutely great. The location is a nice walk from town and the beach. We've been twice and plan to go again and again. <3

Best rental in Kennebunkport! (An honest review)
We had the most amazing experience renting Rockledge! This property was amazing, it was in the best location— beautiful ocean views from many of the rooms, a nice walk down to town, and only a short drive to neighboring towns:). We rented to celebrate our parents 40th wedding anniversary and the house had space for us all! It was such a special week and are so grateful to have had this special property to stay at. The house was impeccably clean and our host was so receptive to all of our calls and texts— sending us recommendations for things to do, places to go, the best beaches, and the best restaurants! It felt like we had our own personal vacation concierge! I can’t say enough fabulous things about our stay at Rockledge and we hope to be back soon to visit again!

About the host

Host profile image
Rockledge has been our family summer home for generations. My parents discovered the magic of this spot in the 1970s. My four siblings and I enjoyed our summers here and all of our children who range in age from 7 to 24 would claim this as their favorite place in the world. We welcome families to experience the splendor of Maine and create your own memories here.
