About this house rental

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 a full-size 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.

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, six 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 Saturday mornings in the summer and on Friday mornings the rest of the year. We will ask that if you are staying on a Friday or Saturday, depending on the time of year, that you kindly wheel the trash bins out to the curb from the shed on Thursday or Friday evening, and, if it isn't check-out day, wheel the bins back into the shed on Friday or Saturday afternoon after trash collection has occurred. 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!

The "QMBC" is adequately named! It's a 5 minute walk to GRB ⛱️ and we also enjoyed hanging out in the Adirondack chairs watching the tide come in and out, kayaking at high tide

Love this house. The best of both worlds. The marsh in the backyard for beautiful views and listening to the tide rush under the bridge is so tranquil. Able to fish and put kayaks in from the yard. But also only a two minute walk to the beach. We choose this house time after time bc we appreciate that we can bring our dog bc it wouldn’t be a vacation without him. Jill the owner is always so great in the chat before and during our stay and we are grateful we found our forever summer rental.

If I could rate this property higher than 5 stars, I would! Location was absolutely perfect, the house was clean, comfortable and welcoming. There's few other rentals that offer everything you need and want in the home (towels, linens, all of the outdoor equipment you need to have fun!) Our family loved walking to Goose Rocks Beach, kayaking on the marsh, and grabbing muffins from the general store in the morning! It's a short drive to Downtown Kennebunkport or Cape Porpoise, giving you access to all of the best attractions, activities and restaurants in the area. Jill's excellent communication was much appreciated as well! She answered all of my questions from the first inquiry until the day we left, and was always so friendly and personable. It felt like renting a home from a trusted friend! This was our first trip to Maine but it will not be our last. We hope to be back soon!
