About this property

Welcome to Doanes Wharf!

Welcome to Doanes Wharf!

Situated in the heart of Kennebunkport, this marina-front property offers an unbeatable location. Step out and explore shops and restaurants, with Federal Jacks just next door. A short drive takes you to all the Kennebunk beaches, making it an ideal spot for a memorable vacation by the water.

As you arrive, the traditional Captain’s House welcomes you, overlooking the Kennebunk marina. Each morning, wake up to the sight of lobster boats and the sun dancing on the water.

Inside, the spacious open-concept kitchen and dining area are perfect for a classic Maine Lobster Bake or a cozy family game night. Enjoy a separate breakfast nook for your morning coffee or a quiet read, with views of boats passing by.

The large living room features a gas fireplace, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration or beach activities. Sink into the comfortable couches and enjoy a movie or your favorite summer show.

On the main level, you'll find a convenient half bathroom with a washer and dryer, perfect for keeping sandy beach towels from tracking through the house.

Upstairs, discover four bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a king bed and stunning ocean views, while a junior primary bedroom also boasts water views. Two double twin rooms, and two identical full bathrooms complete this level.

Step into the backyard and prepare to be amazed. Host a traditional lobster bake while watching boats come and go, observe the wildlife of birds swimming by, or simply soak up the sun by the water.

With its four bedrooms and two and a half baths, this property offers plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy a wonderful summer, fall, or winter getaway.
