    An amazing property with all the comforts! Right across from the ocean with spectacular views from all floors of the home. The front porch has enough seating for everyone to enjoy the views, gather for laughs and enjoy the sun over the water throughout the day and evening. Communication with the owners is above and beyond. We even got to FaceTime with them before the trip for any of our questions, and for details about the property and surrounding area. What a wonderful significant difference for our trip!! There is also a caretaker within a phone call away. Kitchen, bathrooms etc. had everything needed. All seven of us agreed that this home is amazing!! Thanks for sharing the happiness!

    I’m not sure I can properly put into words how wonderful our stay was at Rock ledge. The home was beautiful, we’ve been going to Kennebunkport for years so we already knew we were in love with the town and the family who owns Rockledge are just wonderful people. From the moment we booked until the moment we checked out, every detail was taken care of and the entire process was incredibly smooth. The property manager was kind and always accessible. The owners were so kind and also accessible. The home was very comfortable and spotless. And they even thought of really neat details like a welcome basket of goodies when we arrived. That was so very sweet. When we left the owner asked what they could improve upon. I was honestly at a loss but did mention the wifi on the porch could be stronger but I was really reaching. They bought a wifi booster right away. We are planning to be back again and not only are we excited to stay at Rockledge again, we’re really looking forward to chatting again with all the wonderful people we met during the process.

    Rock Ledge is an incredible house, built in the 1880's by Ralph Emerson, the architect who originated and popularized the Shingle Style. The house was sensitively renovated. It's extremely comfortable, with an enormous front porch ideal for looking at the ocean and the many sailboats passing by. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room (when you aren't eating on the porch as we mostly did) is large and handsome with good views. The bedrooms are all of good size, several with ensuite bathrooms. The house is set high up on a hill so the views of the ocean are superb. The Cape Arundel neighborhood has many other beautiful homes and is quiet and peaceful. It is close to the charming village of Cape Porpoise. There is good biking in the area and there are several excellent restaurants nearby, including the restaurant at the Cape Arundel Inn, a five minutes from the house.

    When you think of having a summer vacation in an adorable New England beach town, this enormous stunning classic home (and the town it's in) are straight out of central casting. The house is one of the original grand beach mansions in Kennebunkport and yet updated just perfectly so it retains all its original charm AND is highly functional. The owners are absolutely great. The location is a nice walk from town and the beach. We've been twice and plan to go again and again. 3

    We had the most amazing experience renting Rockledge! This property was amazing, it was in the best location— beautiful ocean views from many of the rooms, a nice walk down to town, and only a short drive to neighboring towns:). We rented to celebrate our parents 40th wedding anniversary and the house had space for us all! It was such a special week and are so grateful to have had this special property to stay at. The house was impeccably clean and our host was so receptive to all of our calls and texts— sending us recommendations for things to do, places to go, the best beaches, and the best restaurants! It felt like we had our own personal vacation concierge! I can’t say enough fabulous things about our stay at Rockledge and we hope to be back soon to visit again!
