The Gatehouse - Kennebunk Cape near Beach and Kennebunkport

Come home from the beach to your private sylvan oasis. Gather around the fire pit or lounge under the party lights on the deck. Conde Nast Traveler named us one of The Best Rental Beach Houses in the U.S.!
Explore the many beaches, trails and water activities the Kennebunks have to offer. Dock Square is a mile from the house and has fantastic food, shopping and entertainment options.
The Gatehouse is a family friendly getaway. The layout works great for three generation family guests. We are located at the end of a quiet road with large yard and surrounded by woods. Our road is 1 mile from Dock Square and the beaches.
Walk to town (sidewalks), play at the beach (parking passes included) and come home to a quiet oasis in the woods.
