Quiet ocean front cottage with views of Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge

Nice quiet dead-end neighborhood but still within easy reach of Dock Square. Beautiful house with views on both sides. Excellent kayaking, ocean beach across the street, great walking/running/biking neighborhood. I highly recommend this spot if you want to enjoy Kennebunkport.

Unique house and neighborhood, responsive owners. Beautiful views from front and rear of home.

The little location of this rental was in a quiet area but only a few minutes drive to block square and many other attractions. We all really enjoyed the wildlife, deer and many different birds that we saw right off the back deck after a day of adventure. Rental was just as described, I highly recommend it.

This is an incredible location situated between the open Atlantic and a tidal marsh. There are not many other locations—if any—in the area where you have water on both sides. As a result, the sunrise and sunset are immersive and magnificent. The cottage is classic, timeless New England and very cozy. It worked well for our family of four and the proximity to the beach was great.

With unobstructed views of the ocean in the front and the estuary to the back you are surrounded by water and nature, glimpsing birdlife and taking in the most amazing sunsets. The cottage, location and setting is truly a glimpse back in time. The cottage is original to the Great Hill neighborhood amongst other modest cottages for a truly authentic Kennebunk vibe. The public beaches are right down the road and we made a point to visit all of them. Our favorite was actually a private beach Palmers, a nice stretch of white sand and space to spread out, which you can see from the cottage. I would also suggest Goose Rocks Beach in Cape Porpoise - what fun! Both Kennebunk and Kennebunkport are only a couple miles in either direction from the cottage. Kennebunk is lovely, you’ll see historic estates and find all your necessities like a grocery store, pharmacy, etc. Kennebunkport has it all - restaurants most with waterviews, art galleries and beachy tourist shops (traps). We dined out most nights - Bastons is perfect for a rainy day, reminded me of pubs in Ireland. We loved Hurricane, food was excellent with beautiful water views. You most try the fried clams at the Clam Shack - they are famous for a reason! There are many trails and sites to take in - Parsons Way is a great one - set along the rocky bluffs with majestic views. It was a perfect vacation, we wish it was longer. Thank you for sharing your charming cottage with our family Beth!

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It has beautiful views. My family enjoyed being together in a much slower pace of life.

What a lovely stay. The views were really beautiful and the walk to the beaches were an easy commute. The cottage was as described and pictured and well equipped with beach chairs and linens. Beth was awesome! She was readily available answering any questions and offering great suggestions for places to dine. This was a perfect getaway with my husband for half of the week and with my adult daughter and 2 friends for the other half. I highly recommend this property!

A wonderful coastal Maine getaway in a unique setting between a tidal backwater of the Mousam and a smooth stony private ocean beach. Relax watching the birds and deer of the estuary from the deck or kayak or hike along the wildlife refuge. Just close enough and far enough from downtown Kennebunkport. Just a short drive or walk to the public beaches from the cottage. A memorable vacation.

The location of this property and the views were amazing. We used the kayaks on several days, which was both fun and easy. We also spent a-lot of time on the deck which had great views and sunsets! The double bed wasn’t very comfortable and was blocked in on 2 sides making access more difficult. Overall an amazing property!

A beautiful spot for rest and relaxation.
