Million dollar view, Oceanfront Cottage, Family Friendly
Location, location, location! This New England-style, 2-story, 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 car garage, cozy home is located on one of the sweetest, most exclusive, spots on the Kennebunkport oceanfront, offering spectacular 180 degree views of the rocky Maine coast (which includes views of Walker's Point, former President Bush's family home), on a private road. Close to everything you want to see, but private, quiet, and peaceful. The home sleeps six in 3 bedrooms. There are beautiful ocean views throughout the home, thanks to its open design and to large expanses of glass and windows opening up onto the large, sunny deck. From the deck, it is steps away to the ocean where you can sunbathe on the rocks, watch the waves crash, and gaze into the tide pools. From the deck, you can view tony yachts sailing from the Kennebunkport Marina, sail and lobster boats passing by. Best of all you can smell the ocean air and watch the sun rise and set over the Atlantic. The privacy and peacefulness afforded by the oceanfront location is enhanced by a large play space in the front yard and an open wetland across the street attracting a variety of birds and waterfowl. This gem of a vacation home is only a 30 minute drive from the airport in Portland, Me., a 90 minute drive from the airport in Boston, Mass., and a 75 minute drive from the airport in Manchester, N.H.
The Cottage is the perfect spot from which to enjoy the towns of Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise, and Kennebunk and to explore all of southern Maine including Portland (an arts and foodie destination), Oqunquit, and Freeport (an outlet shopping destination). It is walking distance to the heart of Kennebunkport village with its many charming shops and restaurants. Walk, run, or ride a bike into the village of Kennebunkport via the famous a Ocean Avenue (with its many stately mansions facing the ocean) or by way of tree lined back roads and trails. Visit the nearby beaches in Kennebunk and Goose Rocks or the Rachel Carson Wildlife Reserve in Wells. Play golf at one of the many nearby courses. Sample the shops, restaurants, museums, and art galleries of trendy Portland, Me., Ogunquit, Me., or the outlet stores in Freeport, Me. Or simply relax at home and enjoy views of the open ocean, sunrise and sunset, crashing waves, lobster men working their traps, waterfowl of all kinds, and the many crustaceans and small sea life that fill the tide pools and rocky crevices just beyond the oceanfront deck. All while the soothing sound of the ocean waves and tides wash over the rocks behind the house.
This Cottage features 3 bedrooms (sleeping 6), 3 full baths (with 2 shower/tub combos, 1 shower only), a spacious, open living and dining space downstairs, a huge, open den with adjacent bedroom with double bed and bath upstairs), and a downstairs back deck that is equipped with outdoor furniture and charcoal grill.
The ground floor has 2 bedrooms (carpeted) and 2 bathrooms, one with queen mattress and shower/bath and one with queen bed and shower/bath. The living/dining space downstairs (carpeted) is large, with windows and sliding door facing the ocean and opens to the deck. The kitchen (laminate wood floor) is completely equipped to prepare 3 meals a day, with dishwasher, microwave, electric stove/oven, refrig/freezer, coffeemaker, and has its own view of the ocean through the kitchen sink window. The downstairs is equipped with phone, cable TV, DVD player, and wireless internet.
The 2 car garage (with automatic door opener) provides entrance to the kitchen, making the unloading of groceries easy and efficient, and to the laundry room with washer and dryer.
Once you spend your vacation in this home, you will want to return year after year.

House was perfect for our vacation with our three adult children and the deck overlooking the ocean was pretty much where we hung out the entire time! Highly recommend.
The location is wonderful and the house has everything. The ocean views are terrific. Working with the owner was a breeze. We enjoyed ourselves a great deal.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It is in an ideal location. If you like to walk, it is a pleasant trek along the ocean to get to town. But for a small portion, the walk is on a protected path. The views are spectacular. The cottage is very private and quiet. We would definitely stay here again. Check in / Check out was easy
Nancy Meyers just might steal this location tor her next film! The view keeps calling us back! There’s nothing like walking out on those magnificent rocks , breathing in the ocean air, and gazing on the endless ocean! We can’t wait to get back!
Rosemary, our host was thorough in her description and always accessible. She takes meticulous care of her property. Our family is ready to visit again!
The views and waves were incredible! We love Kennebunkport and this place did not disappoint. The beds were great, very comfortable. The house was well equipped. It could use some updating and the porch furniture could be more comfortable but all in all a fabulous stay. The owner was wonderful to communicate with.
You cannot find a prettier location on the East Coast. The views from the deck and every room are spectacular, and there is nothing better than the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks in the evening. The neighborhood is very private and within walking distance of town. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay.
Million dollar view requires an investment in facilities
The location and views were spectacular. However, in order to truly enjoy the view, an investment in outdoor furniture, lounges and a dining table are essential. Six plastic Adirondack chairs just didn’t work! The cottage itself was clean, comfortable and well stocked, but requires a total update. The furnishings were tired and rust could be found on lamps, mirrors and metal table.
We stayed at this Kennebunk house for 5 nights in July and cannot say enough about the view and location! I could sit out on the deck staring at the ocean forever and it was so convenient to the local beaches and restaurants. I kept the bedroom windows open all night and loved falling asleep listening to the waves. We really enjoyed Mabel's just down the street and picked up steamed lobsters one night and enjoyed them out on the deck. Rosemary was so so nice and accessible and took care of everything we needed. You will never regret a trip to Maine in the summer!
Rosemary was super communicative and we really enjoyed our stay. I was worried about there being no AC, but it was perfect. Open the windows and enjoy the cool breeze. I'm a TX girl and I tell you in July.....Kennebunkport weather was perfect. Cool at night and only in the 80's during the day. That is what us TX folks call "winter" :) You cannot ask for a better location. The house was very private, quiet, and the view was phenomenal. This is a gem. And you cannot beat the price for the view and location. I loved drinking my coffee every morning while watching the boats come in to check the lobster traps. We also got to watch the seals sunbathe on the rocks outside the house. I also worked out on the back porch overlooking the ocean every morning. I cannot tell you how relaxing it was. Just what the doctor ordered. Will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Kennebunkport.
My family and I rented this house for my mom’s 84th Birthday. It was the perfect venue for a group to gather. The views from the deck were spectacular. We spent most hours drinking coffee, wine and beer ( depending on the hour :)) on the deck and enjoyed seal watching, egrets, and moon rises. Listening to the waves as we fell asleep was also a highlight. The location was perfect for members of the group to split off into smaller pods to go for walks along ocean avenue ( many Bush sightings during walks of that intrigues you) and though a longer walk, could walk to dock square too. Some folks have commented on the furnishings needing updating but the couches have been and the beds too ( all guests commented on how comfortable their beds were). The kitchen; Yes, is dated but the pros of the house certainly outweighs the Formica countertops. My minor suggestions to the owner included ice trays and perhaps another shade umbrella for the deck (there is already one). Other than these minor suggestions, we will certainly book again and look forward to future family gatherings there.

Great location, House desperately needs upgrading.
Great town, great neighborhood, great location! This house is so funky, basic, outdated. Zero money has been invested into this property in decades! with the exception of a new refrigerator, washer and some painting. There is absolutely no excuse for this. You have to make your own beds, do all your own cleaning. There is an old moldy stench in the house that is deeply imbedded in the wall to wall to wall carpeting. There are all sorts of added fees by the owner that are really unfair considering the condition. I own my own rental property and we do everything for you, this is not that. While the owner is very sweet, she asked me to do tasks that I would never ask renters to do! We will not be staying here in the future.
Agréable très belle localisation. Il y aurait avantage à éliminer la rampe qui entoure la terrasse pour permettre de voir la mer assis sur la terrasse.
We loved it from the minute we walked in the front door and saw the fabulous view. The house is charming and immaculate, a short drive to town or quiet Cape Porpoise. Highly recommend.
We had two couples and two kids (18 months and 7 months) at this very charming house for a week and it was the perfect Maine coastal retreat for the covid era. We had complete privacy and incredible waterfront views, but were also only a few minutes’ drive to town or Cape Porpoise village for takeout lobster rolls or Bradbury Brothers market.
The house is not ultra modern, as you can see in the photos, but it is has classic beach cottage charm and is totally functional (full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, good WiFi for working remotely, etc).
Rosemary was very helpful in rescheduling our original trip from mid June to late August and we can’t wait to get back for next summer.

Great Location but House and Guest Experience Needs Improvement
Let me begin by saying that this home is in an exceptional Kennebunkport location with amazing ocean views. However, the property was a disappointment. It is in dire need of updating. The furniture and furnishings are decades old, broken, musty, and uncomfortable (especially the beds.) The house was poorly supplied with extremely limited paper products, no soap in the showers, no dish towels in the kitchen. We were treated as house-sitters — expected to make and strip the beds, add salt to the water softener, move deck furniture into the garage when a storm was approaching, etc. The extensive “departure instructions” made us question why a housekeeping fee was charged. That said, this property would be great if the owner would consider investing some money to improve the home, furnishings and the guest experience.
This house and location never disappoint! Everything is comfortable and well stocked. The location is just minutes from everything you need or want.
I could sit on the deck all day. We open the windows and take in the majesty of the water hitting the rocks!
Wonderful house for families!
Location location location. So close to the ocean you can read relax and enjoy to your hearts content. Great for older families and couples. Well furnished.
We loved it. Perfect location, the views were spectacular and 3 bedrooms worked very well for us. Lots to do, but we enjoyed just sitting on the back patio watching the waves hitting the rocks. We also spent many hours walking on the rocks discovering tide pools.
