About this property

Cozy Cottage With Private Water Access

Cozy beach cottage in a peaceful neighborhood located in Kennebunkport. The cottage is surrounded by natural beauty with access to a small harbor, that overlooks a classic Maine lighthouse. The water is a short two-minute walk away.

The space
Cottage

Everything you need is here: high-speed internet, cable TV, comfortable living room, luxury linens and most importantly peace and quiet. With one bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, living room, and patio, this is the perfect coastal location for vacations, impromptu getaways, and relaxation. Water views during spring, fall and winter make your stay even more special.

Guest access

Guests have access to the entire cottage including a patio and yard. You will have entry with a key. The hosts are available to answer any of your questions that arise during your stay. Otherwise, you will have complete privacy.

More information

The cottage is newly renovated with new paint, flooring, bathroom, furnishings, décor, and landscaping. Feel free to use the outdoor patio for relaxing, sipping a drink in the evening, or cooking on the grill. You may also use the storage shed to store your bikes if you choose to bring or rent your own. Two multi-speed bicycles are provided for your use along with a cart to carry your beach items.

The cottage is located in beautiful Cape Porpoise and a short ride from a working lobster dock, nearby light house, lovely art galleries, market, deli, and wonderful restaurants. Make your stay special by preparing your own seafood.

You will remain comfortable with central heat and AC or you can also open the windows and enjoy the cool breezes and fresh salt air.

You will find a notebook to assist you in getting the most out of your stay. This will include recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing, and recreation, including major shopping outlets in Kittery & Freeport Maine. If you are really adventurous, you can take the train from Wells to Boston for the day.

The cottage is beautiful, clean, artfully updated and welcoming. Dionne and Tim were thoughtful, friendly and responsive. We loved morning coffee walks to the estuary that overlooks the water and how quiet and peaceful the area was while also being close to beaches and restaurants.

We loved this little cottage in Kennebunkport for our get away weekend. It was perfect for the two of us. Clean, conveniently located and right near the water. Dee and Tim were amazing hosts and did such a great job communicating with us and offered amazing suggestions for food and activities. We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful Four Days

We loved our stay at the cottage. This rental is located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise. I was pleasantly surprised to find we had peek ocean views from the property and that access to water was just a little stroll down the lane. Such a charming location and lovely cottage. We hope to come back some day soon.

Perfect Coastal Maine retreat

Such a charming cottage! Absolutely loved the morning walks to the water and drinking coffee on the front porch. The location is great! All the little details included in this cottage are lovely, from the glass door knobs to the whoopie pie balls and bottle of wine. Communication with the hosts was ideal from booking through checkout. I’m looking forward to returning to this cottage on my next trip to Maine. Sheet perfection! Thank you Tim and Dee.

Comfy & Cozy

We loved staying at this cute little cottage perfect for two. It was clean, well equipped and in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood within a 2 minute walk down to the water's edge. Stopped in at Bradbury Brothers Market to pick up a few items. Took pictures of the famous fish houses on stilts on Langford Road and saw a JCREW photo shoot going on there. We had an upscale dinner at Ultramar on Pier Road. Highly recommend!

Summertime bliss

This was the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The kitchen was well equipped with quality items to make full meals. The whole place felt clean and airy. The house is surrounded by a beautiful yard so it’s a great view out of every window. It’s a short neighborhood walk to the water and near restaurants and shops. The host was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The driveway was big enough for our large suv. Our toddler had plenty of room to run around and play indoor and outdoor. The location and house was a good home base for exploring.

Maine cottage

Perfect in every way EXCEPT for the fact that there was a house being built about 20 feet away- neighborhood with very small lots- so we were subjected to construction activity and noise the whole time we were there. We were given no warning about the situation. The owner, I will say, was very gracious and apologetic- offering to compensate us in some way for the situation.

Gem in Cape Porpoise

My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic vacation at Dee and Tim’s lovely little cottage. The cottage was exactly as pictured, and the location was perfect for us. It was a short walk to the water, where we launched our kayaks and just paddled around the beautiful inlet. The cottage was clean and beautifully appointed, and was surprisingly spacious—generally the word “cozy” in a listing denotes “small” but we felt they designed the space wonderfully and it was perfect for our needs. Dee was prompt to respond to my many questions and was delightful to chat with. We loved being away from the bustle of Dock Square, but close enough that we could hop in the car and be there in minutes. Thank you so much Dee and Tim for your hospitality! We will definitely be back to this gem. 💙

The perfect house

This is the perfect house for a Maine getaway. The house itself is pristine - everything seems brand new, it is exceptionally clean, full of light from the many windows, and has a picturesque beachy aesthetic. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glassware and utensils (all items are in great condition and will make you want to cook). The house is tucked away on a quiet street less than 10 minutes from the downtown Kennebunkport area. We visited during the first week of December and while it was a bit quieter than it is in the summer months, the town was just as charming. Dionne was the most amazing and attentive host. We texted prior to my arrival and she provided me all of the details for my stay. When we got to the house, we were greeted with the sweetest welcome note, a bottle of wine and a chocolate treat. Her attention to detail and responsiveness truly made her and this house stand out to me as being among my best house rentals. If you are contemplating renting this house, you should. As the title of my review says, this really is the perfect house.

Perfect cottage

This cottage was the perfect size for the two of us and was found very clean and ready to go for our stay. Communications with Dee was great... we were able to text back and forth and she very nicely checked on us after a few days to see if we had any issues or questions. The cottage is in a private community and while there are several houses nearby, this is a very quiet neighborhood. There was construction on a new house next door, but that did not cause any issues for us. We enjoyed waving "hello" to the Goat Island Lighthouse each time we drove into the neighborhood as it could be seen coming down the hill toward the cottage. It was located close to amenities in Cape Porpoise and an easy drive into Kennebunkport.

Paradise in Kennebunkport, Maine

This property is absolutely outstanding! Beautifully decorated and maintained, close to everything you need, quiet, and cozy. The owners, Dee and Tim, have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and fun as possible. From the dishes to the pots and pans, to the extremely comfortable bedding, I would rate everything a TEN! When I first arrived, I thought to myself, "if there were just a firepit, everything would be perfect", and sure enough.....inside the outdoor shed, there was a solo stove firepit. They even provided wood and matches! We enjoyed this property and Kennebunkport very much. Dee graciously sent recommendations for restaurants and activities, in which we were able to enjoy some of. Goose Rocks Beach was beautiful and serene. We fished on the Liberti Rose with Captain Bruce (from Wicked Tuna show), and had a blast! The weather couldn't have been any nicer throughout our stay. If you're looking for a perfect week in a perfect home, this is your place! We will definitely return!
