For water lovers:
Paddle northwest up the Kennebunk River to enjoy the serenity of passing rolling hills, grasslands, estuaries, forests, and pastoral farmlands. The waterways are never congested; usually, only one or two other kayakers or paddleboarders are on the river. Sometimes, no one else, just peace and the sounds of nature.
Swim, kayak, or paddleboard from our dock and picnic or grill in the area adjacent to the dock. A gas grill is available for guests, as are kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable rafts, and life jackets.

For nature enthusiasts:
Deer, owls, eagles, and osprey visit Bass Cove Point almost daily. Some make their home in our towering oak and pine trees.

About Bass Cove Point Estate:

Bass Cove Point is the home of Jan and Rick. Built in 2025, the main house, and the adjacent guest house apartment offered here for rent, are located on a tributary of the Kennebunk River in Kennebunkport, Maine, at 66 North Street. The four-acre estate includes a beautiful towering pine grove behind the house, a dock, several picnic areas, and majestic panoramic views of Bass Cove and the Arundel Golf Club course. Our land forms a small peninsula into Bass Cove, so we named the property Bass Cove Point.

Bass Cove Point was originally farmland in the 1800s, and parts of our property were used to make masts and rigging for schooners and to manufacture bricks for local buildings. One hundred fifty years ago, wooden boats were built in Bass Cove and along the Kennebunk River. A nearby wooden boat-building school continues these traditions today.

Bass Cove Point is not just a property or house. It is a way of life- relaxed, gracious, easy-going, and friendly. It is a place of serenity, natural beauty, tranquility, and hospitality The views are breathtaking, the waters of the Kennebunk River are refreshing, the flowers are fragrant and beautiful, our goal is wonderful hospitality, the furnishings are New England coastal comfortable, and above all, the ambiance is private and relaxing.

Bass Cove Point is a fifteen-minute walk via a sidewalk to Dock Square, the center of Kennebunkport. It is an eight-minute bike ride. For those who prefer to paddle to town, use our kayaks and reach Kennebunkport Harbor and Dock Square.

You will find our hospitality to be friendly and helpful, and our guest apartment to be exceptional, relaxing, comfortable, and convenient. Our goal is to offer one of the nicest and value-oriented rentals in Kennebunkport.

We welcome you to be our guest!

Jan and Rick
