About this property

River-view home with fenced yard, walking distance to the beach

  • The coastal escape you've been dreaming of, Barefoot Bliss is a spacious family stay located within walking distance from the beach! When you aren't playing in the sand, check out charming Downtown Kennebunk where numerous dining and shopping options await. Additionally, Blowing Cave Park, the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, and the Seashore Trolley Museum are all less than five miles away.

    When you need a break from the sun, settle down and spend time with your loved ones on the living room's comfortable seating - positioned in front of a large Smart TV. The chef of your family will delight in the full kitchen's stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and center island. When it's time to eat, gather around the formal dining table, or dine al fresco while enjoying the sea breeze.

    With five bedrooms and a loft to sprawl out in, rest assured that everyone will have the room they need to achieve a restful night's slumber. Off the primary bedroom, you'll have access to an extra-large vanity and soaking tub. Perks like partial air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, and internet access round out the marvelous interior amenities.

    As the sun begins to set over paradise, fire up the gas grill and enjoy each other's company from the spacious deck. Before the stars make their dazzling appearance, watch the sunset's yellow, orange, and pink hues meet the river.

Birthday Weekend

Barefoot Bliss was fantastic. It fit our group of 10 comfortably with extra space. Great location (you could walk to Kennebunkport, the beach, more). Check in / check off was easy. We would definitely return.

Fantastic location! Few minute walk to beach and beautiful marsh views. 5 minute car ride to downtown attractions. Home has ample space with plenty of comfortable beds and bathrooms; could use a bit of updating (carpets and bathrooms) but great living space

Great stay

We were there 2 weeks in August and loved every minute. Huge house with many bedrooms and private baths. Large, open kitchen and living area is awesome. Somehow, despite being so close to the beach (5 min walk) this home is very private. Great view of river, nice deck with dinner table and umbrella. Lovely, private back yard. Plenty of parking. Easy walk to Dock Square as well. This place has it all. A gem.

Barefoot Bliss Well Named!

We especially liked this lovely home's location - beautiful marsh view with occasional deer, ducks, and egrets - and on a quiet street.The home's description was accurate and there was room for all of us comfortably. It was a short walk (10 minutes) to the beach, and the teens enjoyed the longer doable walk to the Kennebunkport shops. You will need to bring your own beach chairs, maybe a cart, and puzzles and games as these are not available at the house.

The carpets need cleaning(filthy). No towel bar in hall bath/shower. Told we would receive 50% re...

Location of home is perfect. Walk to the beach and to the village. There was enough room for 6 adults and two children. However, the home needs repairs and Vacasa is not quick to respond. Home has great potential, but REALLY needs repairs and deep cleaning.

Happy customer

The house was everything we could have asked for for a quick weekend away. The listing’s pictures were accurate, as well as the description provided. The location couldn’t be beat, as we walked to downtown Kennebunkport and Gooch’s beach numerous times. The only negative, which didn’t affect our stay that much, was that the trash barrels outside were full before we arrived and the back door was semi broken (which prompted me to communicate with the host to make sure they knew we aren’t liable for such). Besides that, it was a great and easy stay. Vacasa and VRBO made the check in and check out experience smooth and efficient.

We were in town for a family wedding, and this house was a perfect location for us. The house itself was great for our family to hang out during our down-time, and walkable to the beach.

Great house

House was large, well stocked with cooking essentials, steps from beach and a reasonable walk to town. Had 9 people that all fit comfortably. Would be a 5 star other than property management company (Vacasa) was not responsive to our issues( no room for garbage, TV issues, shower broken, ice maker not working)

Week in Maine

We had a lovely visit to Maine with 11 people including 3 young children. The house had adequate space for us to spread out and a beautiful view of the Marsh. The beach was a 10 minute walk, a little long for some of the little ones. Would have been nice to know area parking restrictions as we were ticketed. Bikes were an added plus though a lock would have been helpful as parking can be difficult in town. No beach supplies or games provided so be sure to bring your own. We had a few small issues - Vacasa was very quick to respond to our needs. Overall a great stay!
