About this property

Oceanfront Home, 1.5 acre on Sandy beach, 3 Wrap-around Porches

Picture yourself on our beautiful porches for the most relaxing moments of your day...  the sun porch with a hot cup of coffee and a direct ocean view, the breezy open porch for cocktail hour and a cotton candy sky, or the screened porch at the huge hand-carved table with your family and friends for a fresh-caught lobster dinner.

With panoramic ocean views throughout most of the home, a large oceanside yard perfect for family play, a private path to the quietest section of Maine's longest sandy beach, and all the amenities you require... ours is the perfect home for your next vacation.
Our family home's location is perfect. We are around the corner from fresh lobster and local restaurants and just a couple of miles from Old Orchard Beach and multiple grocery stores including the gourmet "On the Vine" in Scarborough. We are a short drive to Portland, Kennebunkport, and other charming destinations. But even with every modern convenience nearby, you will feel like you arrived at a quiet retreat the minute you walk up the path and catch your first breath of ocean air.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pantry staples, plentiful glasses for your happy hours, a propane grill in the gazebo, and two indoor and two outdoor dining areas. Kids are welcome in our home and we provide a pack-n-play, high chair, children's books, and family games. You are also set for the beach with 10 beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards, and sand toys!

This home has been in our family since 1895 and is very special to us.  My husband grew up spending many happy summers here and our children and grandchildren have made made countless special memories in this house as well. We hope you will enjoy it as we do and care for it like it is your own family's home.
