Quintessential Maine Beach Cottage

Classic Maine marsh-view beach cottage. Steps from Goose Rocks Beach, in a beautiful cove in quaint, historic Kennebunkport. Grab groceries, park the car, forget the world and enjoy paradise!!!

The house has three bedrooms - one queen room, one room with two twin beds, and one loft with a full-size bed. The living room and dining room span the entire front of the house with three walls of mostly windows overlooking the marsh. This is a classic, historic cottage, so the ceilings are not very tall and the home is not expansive. It’s about 900 square feet with everything on the first floor except the loft upstairs with the full-size bed.

The kitchen is fully stocked and has a functional island with all full-size appliances plus other small appliances like a microwave, blender, toaster, coffee pot, slow cooker, etc. There is a laundry room with stacked washing machine and dryer off the kitchen. The bathroom is good-sized and includes a corner standing shower and a sink with a vanity for storage. There are hooks on the backs of the bathroom and bedroom doors for wet towels and clothes. The house has heating in the winter months and air conditioning in the summer months. The linens are provided - the beds are freshly made up with clean linens before your arrival and bath and kitchen towels are also provided. Beach towels are also provided.

Outside, the yard has plenty of flat space for yard games (cornhole and kubb are in the shed for your use), a picnic table, a 10' x 15' canopy, a hammock for stringing between two trees, five Adirondack chairs, and a propane grill. Goose Rocks Beach is a short walk from the house - it takes approximately 2 minutes to walk to the edge of the property, across the crosswalk, and down the beach path to reach the beach! There are beach towels, beach wagon, beach shade umbrella, beach mats, beach toys, four beach chairs, a paddleboard, two kayaks, oars, and life jackets for your use.

This is a private home in a small town. The Town has some simple good neighbor policies to follow about parking and noise. The good neighbor policies are posted on the refrigerator. Also, the Town trash collection takes place early on Friday mornings. We will ask that if you are staying on a Friday that you kindly wheel the trash bins out to the curb from the shed on Thursday evening, and, if it isn't check-out day, wheel the bins back into the shed on Friday afternoon after trash collection has occurred. There is one recycling bin and one trash bin. Directions for what does (and does not) belong in each bin are located on top of the bins. Check-in is at 4pm and check-out is at 10am. We are unable to provide early checkins or late checkouts because of the tight cleaning schedule. Thank you!
