About this property
Classic Maine Beach Cottage
Sept 19-26 - BIG DISCOUNT!
The Bait Can is a wonderful summer refuge for families and groups of friends. Enjoy the southern Maine seacoast, beautiful crescent beaches with the softest sand you'll ever feel, delicious lobsters and seafood, a great getaway for those who want to escape the hot summer. Bring a sweater or sweatshirt for the cool evening temps. Four-minute walk to Mother's Beach!
September weeks are delightful - quiet and no crowds.
The home was built by the owners' great (and great-great) grandfather who built several beach cottages in Kennebunk Beach during the early 20th century. It has been lovingly maintained and enjoyed by five generations of family.
Built in 1922, the house is in original condition throughout, but with upgraded kitchen and bathrooms. You'll love the enclosed outdoor shower and claw foot tub! The Bait Can is a charming, informal home, loved by all - a great place to hang out and relax.
Within a short walk, bike or drive the Kennebunk Beach area offers all of the amenities that make for a great vacation. Bring your children and grandchildren, bring your pets, bring your friends and enjoy a great vacation in 'Vacationland.'

About the host
Hosted by Margy Hall
The Bait Can is co-owned by the Hall and Ryder families. Margy Hall is the great-granddaughter of Charles W. Arnold, who built the Bait Can for his 4th daughter (Margy's grandmother) in 1922, as a wedding gift. She now shares ownership with her husband Burt, and her children, Katie and Tim, and their spouses, Jon and Amanda. Our summers growing up were spent in this wonderful house.
