About this property

Kennebunkport Waterfront Cottage - Ocean View

Private waterfront cottage with ocean, island and lighthouse views on quiet tidal cove. Located in Cape Porpoise, a small fishing village which is part of Kennebunkport. Fully equipped eat-in kitchen, screened-in porch, both overlooking the cove. Large living room with two twin built-in daybeds and fireplace, cozy master bedroom and bath.

Pier and water access for kayak, canoe or boat owners to Cape Porpoise islands. We have our own pier and float on the property which you may use to tie up a boat - you can bring or rent a kayak, canoe or boat & explore the Cape Porpoise islands.The pier is is shared with a house which we also own on the property. The house and cottage are completely separate, with separate yards well - so you have privacy with more than 100 yards between the two. (see photo) If you want both properties you can rent them together but they are listed separately on this website. The house property number on VRBO is 232798.

Less than a mile to Cape Porpoise village, you will find restaurants, grocery store, shops and galleries. It is a scenic walk to the local pier where you can fish or watch the lobstermen bring in their catch. A short drive to Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunk beaches and Kennebunkport center.

Great place to stay

We loved the cabin. Spotlessly clean. The hosts are kind and accommodating. Close to all the amenities in Cape Porpoise and near to the surrounding area of the Kennebunks. We would love to stay again.

Cape Porpoise Cottage

Perfect location and a beautiful setting. No other cottages nearby, with an easy walk to restaurants and grocery store. This cottage is on the water at high tide, with beautiful views of the islands. The cottage is very well maintained.

Wonderful

Absolutely beautiful property and a wonderful stay. Great location. Close to everything in Kennebunkport & southern Maine. Even easy to day trip to Portland. The owners were very nice and communicative. The property was exceptionally clean and well kept. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Home Away from Home

Staying at this charming little cottage, on the edge of the tidal cove in Cape Porpoise, couldn't have been a more perfect location for my husband and I to escape to so we could celebrate our anniversary and my birthday! The views are so tranquil and it was just so private and quiet. We fell in love with this cottage, and we also got to meet the owners who could not have been friendlier. We highly recommend the Waterfront Cottage.

Perfect refreshing getaway

First, I must let you know that Phil and Joan are kind, gracious, accommodating hosts. As for the cottage, it is so cozy and quaint that it invites you to kick back and relax. There is a view from virtually every window, and there are lots of windows, and the views are breathtaking. The porch is magnificent. When we were there (late September) the area around the cottage was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. As an aside, if you like lighthouses, you can just see Goat Island Light from the yard, if you stand near the pier and look toward the open ocean. Bring binoculars if you have them so you can get a good look at it.

Cozy Cottage, Gorgeous Location

I don't know about you, but I kind of hold my breath when I get to a property that was booked online. Will it be what it looked to be in the pictures and description? The happy surprise here was that the cottage was even more attractive and the setting more beautiful than the pictures could capture. It was a great visit: excellent communication from Joan and perhaps the best-stocked rental property I've been in. The screened- in/glassed-in cottage-length porch is a great enhancement, especially in cooler or rainy weather, and was a great location for brunch with local family members. My husband has limited walking ability, and, with care, he did fine at the property. (The immediate entrance to the cottage is a short downhill slope with lots of roots and rocks.) Joan was very helpful in responding to my questions about possible barriers. (To VRBO: I would encourage all hosts to post more detailed information in their descriptions for potential guests with mobility limitations.)

Maine Getaway

This Maine Getaway was a surprise for my wife. Neither of us have been there before, but it was on our bucket list. Neither Maine nor this cottage disappointed. Both were fantastic. This cottage is situated in charming Cape Porpoise. It is CLEAN, clearly loved, maintained with care and decorated with charming memorabilia symbolizing the area as well as the owners' lives. My wife and I loved sitting on the pier, noshing on cheese and crackers, and a bourbon, watching the tide roll in. The owners were awesome, they could not have been more accommodating. All in all, our first visit to Maine, this cottage in Cape Porpoise and Kennebunkport was awesome, memorable and we hope to be back!!

Another perfect stay on Cape Porpoise

The memories made at this wonderful cottage, in the best location, are still with me for a long time. It makes me wish the cottage would be available in the winter! But I’ll be patient and return once again in the spring! Thank you for another wonderful stay. Wendy

The essence of Maine

A nice cottage on the water’s edge gave us a beautiful getaway. The setting was picturesque as you saw the changing foliage, the Maine rocky coastline and beautiful waterfront homes along the shoreline. A great place to stay!

Take Three!

Our third stay at the Cottage was another fabulous experience. We just adore this picturesque location where nature abounds. The tides roll in and out, and the birds enjoy nature’s feast. The cottage is so adorable, comfortable and relaxing. We kayaked out to the lighthouse and the friendly caretaker welcomed us in. It’s actually open to the public! We thoroughly enjoyed our quintessential Maine experience! We’ll be back! Thank you to our gracious hosts Joan and Phil!

Thumbs Up For Paddy Creek Cottage!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Paddy Creek Cottage. It was just the right size for us. The cottage was immaculate. Everything we needed was there. (We did have to bring towels and a hairdryer) It was secluded, quiet and beautiful and the weather cooperated! Thank you Mother Nature. We had an opportunity to use the fireplace on 2 evenings and it was just what we needed to complete the atmosphere. We met neighbors staying at the house behind us and they were so lovely and friendly. Unfortunately, we did not meet the owner in person, but did text a couple of times to let her know how much we were enjoying our stay.

Peaceful and charming. Love everything about this classic old cottage by the sea, the gorgeous view of the sea, the sweet owners, the quiet dirt road.... it’s our favorite spot for R&R and daily kayaking to the lighthouse.
