Overview
Welcome to an exceptional Kennebunk beachfront retreat—an elegant oceanfront residence on the coveted eastern end of Beach Avenue, less than a mile from downtown Kennebunkport and directly across from Gooch’s Beach. Framed by a sweeping lawn overlooking the water, the property offers a rare setting for refined coastal relaxation, outdoor entertaining, and effortless seaside living.
Blending timeless New England charm with upscale comfort, this spacious coastal homeis thoughtfully designed for memorable gatherings, elevated family escapes, and restorative stays by the sea.

Interior & Amenities
Inside, sun-filled living spaces welcome you with hardwood floors, refined furnishings, and large ocean-facing windows. Enjoy morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening conversation in two inviting sitting rooms, and gather around the stylish wet bar with granite countertops and a wine fridge for effortless entertaining.
The spacious kitchen is designed for easy vacation living, featuring granite countertops, modern appliances, and a striking exposed brick wall. Prepare everything from a casual breakfast to a classic Maine lobster dinner, then dine together at the table for 10 or head to the front porch with rocking chairs for coffee, cocktails, dessert, and the soothing sound of the waves.
After a day at the beach, unwind in the lower-level media room with Roku and a widescreen TV—perfect for movie nights, streaming your favorite apps, or catching the big game. With four additional TVs and Wi-Fi throughout the home, there’s plenty of space for everyone to relax their own way.

Sleeping Arrangements
With five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half-bath, the home comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests. The lower level offers a flexible sleeping space with four twin beds, a queen sleeper sofa, and a full bathroom—ideal for kids, teens, or younger guests traveling together.
On the second floor, the primary suite features a king bed, private TV, dramatic Palladian windows with exceptional ocean views, and a beautifully appointed private bath. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom—one with two twin beds and the other with a queen bed. The third floor includes a private suite with a queen bed, a twin bed, a TV, and its own full bathroom.
Additional conveniences include a full laundry room, a main-floor half-bath, a private outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach, parking for up to eight cars, an extra fridge in the garage, and everything you will need for a day at the beach (chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, beach games, etc).

Location & Nearby Activities
Kennebunk is beloved for its historic charm, scenic coastal roads, and beautiful sandy beaches, making it a wonderful destination for families and groups seeking a classic Maine getaway. Spend your days building sandcastles at Gooch’s Beach just across the street or stroll along Beach Avenue to the playground and tide pools at Mother’s Beach.
The KBIA (Kennebunk Beach Improvement Association) is also within walking distance and offers family-friendly activities for all ages, including sailing, kayaking, movie nights, and Wednesday evening beach barbecues; membership is required and available to the public. In summer, you can also settle in and enjoy fireworks over the water.
When you’re ready to explore beyond the beach, enjoy deep-sea fishing, browse the shops and restaurants of nearby Kennebunkport, or visit one of the area’s historic lighthouses and coastal landmarks.

SECURITY CAMERAS
There are two EXTERNAL cameras on the property. One is just outside the rear entrance and faces outward toward the parking area. The second is on the outside of the front porch and faces the ocean, overlooking the front yard of the property. These are primarily to monitor storms and the risk of flooding but are also used to check the weather and for security purposes.

    The location of this house is beautiful. The house itself is very comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed. Our host made an error in the date of our stay so the house was not cleaned. Brian drove an hour during a busy holiday week to clean it himself and reimbursed us for the cleaning fee. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.

    Very well stocked and in the perfect location! Our family had spent time up north in Bar Harbor and then came south to Kennebunkport- my favorite part of the whole trip was the gathering space on the front porch. Thank you for the memories!

    We stayed here as a family of four, including children 3 and 6 years old, for three nights. The kids loved running around and exploring the house and all its nooks and crannies, along with and all the games in the living room (especially the binoculars). The beach was right across the street, and perfect for two kids to look for shells and hermit crabs (we found a lot of hermit crabs!). Can walk right into town. My son asked us to make this particular house a family tradition!

    Our extended family of 12 people had a wonderful time at this house in a stunning location. There was plenty of room for all, space for the tweens to have their own space but for all of us to gather as well. Very well-equipped, it was great that there were plenty of supplies like paper products, extra bedding and towels. Easy access for some beautiful February beach walks and stunning view from inside as well. Our host was great and very communicative.

    We took a quick family trip (4 adults, 4 kids ranging from 10-14) over New Years. This house does not disappoint. It’s even larger than it appears in the photos, with a ton of space for everyone to spread out. There are two large living room areas, one with a bar, and both with beautiful views of the ocean. Same goes for the dining room with a direct beach view as well. The kids loved the lower level with its own living room area, bedroom with three singles and bathroom. The primary suite is massive, the top floor bedroom and private bath works out great for a couple and the other two bedrooms share a bathroom and are great for kids and a couple. We got extremely lucky with the weather on New Year’s Eve and were able to enjoy the huge front porch overlooking the ocean. You cannot beat this location.The owners were awesome! Incredibly friendly and communicative during our stay. Would highly recommend this home and look forward to coming back again!

    We had high hopes when booking, and all our hopes were met and exceeded. This is truly a lovely house in the best location. We enjoyed a large family Christmas vacation at the house with family members across all generations, and everyone was thrilled. Five Stars.

    Visited Kennebunk with immediate family and in-laws. House was great with ample space / room for everyone, and location was ideal for beach access. Also very close to town, roughly 1 mile to get to shops & restaurants.

    The owner, Brian, was very polite and fast to reply. The house is very nice and the location is perfect. We enjoyed the beach and all the shops and restaurants in Kennebunkport. I rated the cleanliness of the house low and talked to Brian about this problem. He informed me that he was also very disappointed with his current cleaning service and was getting a new service as of the next week. I hope the new service pays more attention to this beautiful house. The one inaccuracy of the property description was the whirlpool tub. The tub is in the third floor bathroom and it is extremely small. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our 50th wedding anniversary family vacation in Kennebunk!

    This house met or exceeded all of our expectations! Plenty of room for a group of nine adults. The porch is awesome. While we were a bit concerned about being close to a road, it was never an issue. We came to think about it as a source of free entertainment, especially the parallel parking attempts. We wondered how much beach was left after the storm. At high tide, maybe 20 yards. At low tide, quite a lot, more than 100 yards. It was also nice to be so close to town, just a bit more than a mile. And there are sidewalks all the way to town, so it is easily walkable.

    Our weeklong stay at the house couldn’t have been better. The location is fantastic and the amenities were great. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and convenient location. We will definitely consider booking the house again in the future.
