About this property
Beautiful home, walk to the Ocean, kayak access, great Kennebunkport location.
This is a bright, relaxing, and comfortable home in a great location that was built by the owners with love. This is our primary residence but when renting, you will have the exclusive use of the house. We stay in neighboring property and will be able to assist with any needs and to make sure you have everything necessary for a great vacation. We are happy to share our wonderful home and land with good people who will respect it. It is a fantastic location in the village of Cape Porpoise which is part of Kennebunkport. This home is unique as it is in the woods, yet a short walk to gorgeous water views and the conveniences of the village. Launch canoes or kayaks launch right across the street!
From the back porch, you will walk through the mudroom to see the big kitchen which is open to the living room and dining area. There is a downstairs master bedroom with master bath. A 1st floor 1/2 bath and laundry room as well. Upstairs leads to an art studio which is a loft style room that's somewhat open to downstairs living room/kitchen but can be used for additional sleeping with queen air mattress in closet. Upstairs you will also find 2 identical bedrooms and a full bath.
It's nice on a hot day to lay in the hammocks under the shade on our back porch. Or soak up the sun on the front patio where you can catch glimmers of the bay through the trees. Take a relaxing hot shower in the open air in our outdoor shower to wash the sand off from the beach. We have chickens but they will not be let out unless guests want them roaming around. You can help yourself to fresh eggs. If you have children they will enjoy the playhouse with sandbox, little climbing wall and slide. This is also a wonderful place for bike riding as we are off a Dead end road (Langsford Rd.) with beautiful views of the bay, fishing pier,and Goat Island Lighthouse.
Neighbors are visible yet you are surrounded by trees and have privacy. Stroll down the driveway which opens up to Cape Porpoise Harbor. Across the street is a fish house where you can buy fresh tuna (sashimi grade!), or lobsters and clams caught that day, they'll even steam them for you! In minutes you can walk to Bradburys Market in the center of Cape Porpoise and grab some supplies/vacation essentials. You can walk to the Musette for a delicious breakfast (also serves lunch and dinner). Or stroll down beautiful Pier Road, around the head of the cove, to the fishing pier with seafood restaurants. Watch the boats come in with today's catch. This is all in our backyard, no car needed.
However; driving to local beaches is easy with over 5 beaches within 4 miles. Drive or bicycle down scenic ocean avenue past the Bush family compound to Kennebunkport, only 2.5 miles from the house for shopping, restaurants, and many more activities, including whale watches and sailing tours.
We will be more than happy to offer advice on activities in the area and assist with any other needs.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Aaron Altman
My wife, Dana, grew up right here in Cape Porpoise, a quintessential Maine fishing village, and I grew up in Kennebunk. We lived in Vermont for a decade after graduating from UVM. While we absolutely loved Vermont, we both knew Maine was our home. Three years ago, my wife's parents were kind enough to let us build a house on their land. They live in front of us on a tidal bay and share the same driveway. We feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place near our family. We look forward to sharing it with people that will appreciate the ocean, the quiet village of Cape Porpoise, the salt air, and our hand built home.
