About this property

Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunkport. Luxury 4 BR home. Less than 1 mile from beach.

Home away from home. Just open the door from the front porch and you are guaranteed to feel relaxed and totally at home. This beautifully decorated home was built with family vacations in mind. it has all the amenities that you will need on your vacation. In 2024 the kitchen was fully renovated. Kitchen is open to living and dining room. Bright and airy with lots of room to relax.

Large screened in furnished porch off the living area and master bedroom. Upstairs loft area has TV,DVD, and Sony PS2 lots of books and games to enjoy, perfect for the young and young at heart to hang out. Very large yard, for that friendly game of baseball or football. If you feel like a lazy day, relax in the hammock in the private back yard. Sit out in the fresh air on the spacious back deck which adjoins the screened porch.

Outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off after a day at the beach. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of the two porches or screened in back porch. Lots to do with 4 beaches close by. Shop in downtown Kennebunkport or visit LL. Bean in Freeport.

Have a night out at one of the wonderful local restaurants. Live lobsters for sale just up the road. Relax, enjoy, you deserve it.

A great house for family vacation

My family had an amazing time at Goose Rocks Beach. We had our annual family reunion at the beach. This house was gorgeous and fit our family well. The kids loved the lay-out as there were many areas for them to relax together. The screened-in porch was lovely for morning coffee and evening drinks. We would love to return to this house for another vacation!

We would love to have you back anytime. It is always wonderful when your hard work of planning a vacation turns out as expected or even better. I am glad that you had time to relax and enjoy all the house had to offer you and your family. When you come back you will find there is so much more to explore in the area. Thank you for taking the time to write this review.

Perfect home for a large family or multiple families. Bedrooms are large and spacious with plenty of room to lounge upstairs or play space for littles. This was our 2nd year in a row and it has everything we need for 3 families including little kids. Short drive to Goose Rocks Beach which is the best little beach! And a short drive to other popular locations.

Family getaway in Kennebunkport.

The family had a great week at Gillian's home in Kennebunkport. The location is close to the beach and downtown. This is our third time at Gillian’s home. The house is big enough for the whole family with all the amenities needed to make a few meals at home. The home has a beautiful updated kitchen, which gives us a nice home feeling. Thanks again for letting us stay at your home. We had a lovely time.

We spent a lovely week in Kennebunkport. The house was clean and well stocked with housewares, which what was needed to make a few dinners at home and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

Home away from Home

This rental was remarkable! Clean and neat! Tons of room for the whole family to spread out. The children had plenty of space and even a loft in which to entertain themselves. The screened in porch was a huge bonus and we enjoyed many mornings and evenings outside. The house is 1 mile or less to the beach and very accessible to all areas of interest in Kennebunkport. This house will NOT disappoint. Way better and bigger than I imagined based on the photos and reviews. We cannot wait to visit again. The owners were also very friendly and receptive to any questions. They made our stay a huge success!

Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure having you stay at the house. We would love to have you back anytime, we have been so fortunate with all the amazing people who rent our house. Many people say the same thing that the house is even nicer than the photos show. We want to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible as everyone deserves a stress free, relaxing vacation to recharge. The screen porch is our favorite also, we live there when we are using the house, breakfast, lunch and dinner and of course a sunset cocktail with family and friends.

Home away from home

Our stay at this wonderful home was everything we hoped for. My husband and I were celebrating our 40th birthdays (July 2010) and we wanted to stay somewhere special near the coast. This place was everything we were looking for! Comfort, space and very well cared for is only a few of the words I would use to describe it. Kennebunkport has lots of shopping, restaurants and nearby blueberry picking! Goose Rocks beach is only down the road and it has the best waves for swimming and boogie boarding. My kids loved it. This property is highly recommended for anyone with a large family or even two families to share; the home is very spacious. The owner is helpful and so pleasant to deal with. We are returning for another stay this summer!
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Great to have you back, you too are great to deal with, I truly appreciate it. I hope you like the new updates that we added to the home since your last trip. As always relax, enjoy and make the house yours for a well deserved break. Hope to have you back again next year.

Very comfortable

Wonderful location near the beach. Bicycled to it a few times. Parking at the beach is $100 per week. The yard was very private and nicely kept. The deck and screened in porch were delightful. It rained most of our week, so we did spend a lot of time indoors and enjoyed the space. We were surprised that we needed to provide our own sheets and towels and haul the garbage to the curb. This has not been the norm for our vrbo stays. However, the house is very reasonably priced and we did truly enjoy our stay. The bicycles and beach equipment were helpful. Thanks

Everything was great!!

We arrived and the house was immaculate and very welcoming even with flowers in small vases as well as a bottle of wine welcoming us; a very nice touch. There was plenty of room for all seven people. The location was great as we had family at Goose Rocks Beach area with cottages. It was less than 5 minutes to the beach. It was also nice to come home at the end of the day and relax on the screened porch or deck. The decor was warm in colors and very welcoming as well as comfortable. The house was very well equipped with all needs for day to day living and at times we had family over for dinner and all worked out well. There was a window blind that was not working properly and I called the owner and within the hour, it was fixed. Overall, i think the house is great and would not hesitate going back again. The owners are wonderful and kind people wanting to do anything they can to make the stay memorable and a hassle free vacation. All and all, we didn't want to leave!!!

Perfect place to stay for a weeks vacation

This was our first time at this property and it certainly won’t be our last! 3 families total with 2 littles and it was perfect! House was clean and tidy and had everything needed. The bedrooms are are large and have comfy beds. Overall it was a great experience and there was nothing that we wished was there. Location is just outside of all the surrounding towns but a perfect getaway to not be right in the middle of town. Goose Rocks Beach is a very short drive away and absolutely beautiful!

About the host

Hosted by Gillian Draleau

Host profile image
We are Steve and Gillian Draleau and we live in Massachusetts when we are not enjoying our home in Maine.

Why they chose this property

My husband grew up going to Goose Rocks beach each year. When I came here from Ireland and we got married we both enjoyed the beauty of the coast of Maine and most especially Goose Rocks Beach and the Kennebunkport area. After many years of looking we found our ideal place to build in 2005. It is less than 2 hours from our home in Massachusetts and we spend as much time as we can here in our haven or home away from home.

What makes this property unique

We love walking to the beach especially after dinner. We enjoy all the wonderful restaurants that are so close to us and walking around 'The Port' (Kennebunkport). It never gets old and we are always discovering something new. We enjoy going to Portland to catch a Seadogs game or live theater. LL Bean is a must at least twice a year for Steve
