About this property

Walk to Shops & Beach. Cozy home with modern amenities for a memorable stay

"The Beach Hive" is located in one of southern Maine's most beautiful coastal villages in the heart of Dock Square and less than a mile from the Kennebunk/Gooches beach. Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen, with brand-new stainless steel appliances. Private Sunroom to enjoy early morning coffee with the smell of salty sea air. 2 bedrooms/2 baths. Ideally located minutes from Kennebunkport with restaurants, beaches, golf, tennis, and marina.

We always look forward to hosting great, respectful people.

"The Beach Hive" condo home is located in Kennebunk's Lower Village and boasts many amenities aside from its location. This condo offers plenty of living area, which includes a 3 seasons porch that is to die for, enabling you to bask in sunlight during the day, and will comfortably host 4 guests for a peaceful and relaxing respite. The kitchen offers newly updated stainless appliances and has all the cooking and baking amenities you'll need.

Our location couldn't be any more perfect, with just a walk or bike ride away from Gooches and Mother's Beach or a quick walk into Dock Square or Lower Village.

Anniversary trip

Relaxing environment, close to center of town, stairs at back made it difficult to get luggage in and out

Great Location

This property could not be better situated to enjoy K’port! Loved being able to walk to restaurants and shops. The two bedrooms upstairs share a full Jack and Jill bath that was not clear in the listing but a pleasant surprise! A second full bath with walk in shower downstairs was great also. Getting luggage and supplies up the stairs from the parking lot and then bedrooms on the second floor posed a challenge for some in our party. All in all a great stay!

The Beach Hive cottage couldn’t have been better! The location was a lovely 10 walk to Kennebunkport where we wandered in and out of shops and stopped to eat. The cottage was exactly as advertised…a nice New England decor. The cottage was very clean and beds very comfortable! In the short few days that we were there, we had time to sip coffee in the sun room.Emily was a wonderful host and quick to respond to our questions. I would highly recommend this darling cottage to any visitors to the area. Next time we’re in Kennebunk, we’ll definitely choose this cottage as our number 1 choice! Thank you, Emily!
