A Playhouse with History

The shingle-clad Colonial style house is on a private lane set well back from a private beach on an expansive, beautifully landscaped lawn with several outdoor seating areas.

Elevated ocean getaway for the whole family

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! The home is the epitome of classic New England luxury in a beautifully maintained historic home (with the convenience of an updated kitchen and laundry room, WiFi and cable/streaming services) on a stunning private beach. The home feels like a hidden secret on a private road, but with the convenience of being within minutes of antiquing on Rt. 1, shopping/dining and entertainment in Wells and Kennebunkport. There was ample space for all 3 generations of our family- from grandparents to grandkids aged 1 and 3. We especially appreciated the large, well-landscaped lawn for outdoor dining, relaxing after the beach and watching the children play and great room where we could spread out to unwind after a long sun-filled day. The homeowners were also great throughout our stay- very communicative from the beginning to end! We appreciated the welcome binder with the history of the home and Parsons family, as well as plenty of suggestions for dining, etc in the area. The combination of their family story and the beautiful antique details made us feel like we were experiencing a part of Southern Maine history while on a beach vacation. Overall, a wonderful experience and place to enjoy family time!

Great location, comfortable and beautiful.

The house was spacious and very well-equipped. The flower gardens are even more beautiful in person than in the photos. We really appreciated the gathering spaces, especially the comfortable sitting area near the kitchen and the very large dining room table. The ocean breeze kept us cool and the soothing sound of the waves at night made for peaceful, deep and restful sleep.

An Enchanted Vacation!

My family stayed here with another family that we’ve been friends with for many, many years. We both have two children in the 3-6 year old range. When we booked the trip my only concern was the ocean and the fact that Maine tends to be rough water. Our children are still learning to swim so we didn’t know how that would work out. More on that later. Aside from that, the pictures made it look like a very special place, one that we knew would be well-suited for the 8 of us. The thing is there are just certain places that you must see in person to really understand how special they are, and this is one of them. I cannot emphasize enough just how special this property is. The lawn was well-cared for. The garden out back was beautifully appointed with mature flowers and shrubs. There were views of the ocean from almost every single room. Even if you couldn’t see it directly, you still heard that intoxicating sound of the waves crashing down on the beach. The house itself was older, but I have to imagine that is intentional. The furniture, pictures, even the bathroom hardware were all from a different time. A time when places like this were few and far between. The opportunity to stay in a home like this was essentially reserved for family and friends only. We didn’t spend much time inside, though our children loved entertaining us with their mini-shows on the built-in stage, which was apparently added to the house for that very purpose so many years ago. One thing that made us nervous was the lack of air conditioning (something all of us seemed to have overlooked when booking… so glad we did though!). Especially since it was one of the hotter weeks of the summer. However, the moment the sun went down the temp dropped and the perpetual ocean wind that passed right through the house made it the most pleasant environment to sleep in. I also mentioned being concerned about the ocean. The waves were rough at times but the depth was low so far out we knew the kids were safe. Overall, the trip was exactly what each of us needed, and that is the best way I can describe the property. If you want to relax, you can relax. If you want to swim, you can swim. If you want to drive around to the surrounding towns, you won’t run out of things to do. If you want to take strolls on the beach at low tide, then go out and stroll. It was the type of place where everyone’s ideal vacation could be fulfilled, and that is such a rare thing to find these days!!!

Dear Tara, Thank you for the lovely review. It was a delight to have you visit our home. What a joy to hear happy children on the beach having fun with caring parents. It’s rare to have our home left in such lovely condition, few feel it’s appropriate to leave a home ‘as they found it’. Thus a solute to your mother’s! Deep gratitude for your kind review, hope you’ll consider returning next summer. Cheers, Beth

Special historic property and private beach

We loved the location, house and beach! The owners were helpful and gracious. If you are interested in the history of the Maine coast and its conservation land, it is a must see.

Excellent house and location

The home is located at the end of a long private road on a private beach. It has it's own stage (with curtain) as part of the main living room area. It's an old home with excellent updated features. We had two small families and fit well. We like to surf and boogie board, so the convenience of being right on the beach was perfect. We were worried about having only one indoor shower for two families, but it was never a problem - as the outdoor shower was great after the beach. We had great meals at Bandaloop and Allisons and cooked a few meals. Outdoor seating area buy the beach was great. Thanks.

Southern Maine Gem

Amazing house, property, and private beach. The house had plenty of room for all 3 generations of our family and the beach was absolutely stunning with soft sand, great waves, and warm water (for Maine). The location cannot be beat! The owners were very responsive before and during our stay, they provided information about the area and house (which was appreciated). It was nice reading about the history of the Parsons family and home. We cannot wait to come back!

Magical and Serene

The grand, quirky old house sits at the end of a truly magical drive that winds through forest on one side and marshland on the other. From the home you have a beautiful view of the ocean that is just steps from the back door. I loved going to sleep hearing the waves crash. For much of the time we were the only family on the wide, sandy beach—a truly unique experience in the middle of the summer!
