We had two couples and two kids (18 months and 7 months) at this very charming house for a week and it was the perfect Maine coastal retreat for the covid era. We had complete privacy and incredible waterfront views, but were also only a few minutes’ drive to town or Cape Porpoise village for takeout lobster rolls or Bradbury Brothers market. The house is not ultra modern, as you can see in the photos, but it is has classic beach cottage charm and is totally functional (full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, good WiFi for working remotely, etc). Rosemary was very helpful in rescheduling our original trip from mid June to late August and we can’t wait to get back for next summer.

Let me begin by saying that this home is in an exceptional Kennebunkport location with amazing ocean views. However, the property was a disappointment. It is in dire need of updating. The furniture and furnishings are decades old, broken, musty, and uncomfortable (especially the beds.) The house was poorly supplied with extremely limited paper products, no soap in the showers, no dish towels in the kitchen. We were treated as house-sitters — expected to make and strip the beds, add salt to the water softener, move deck furniture into the garage when a storm was approaching, etc. The extensive “departure instructions” made us question why a housekeeping fee was charged. That said, this property would be great if the owner would consider investing some money to improve the home, furnishings and the guest experience.

We stayed at this Kennebunk house for 5 nights in July and cannot say enough about the view and location! I could sit out on the deck staring at the ocean forever and it was so convenient to the local beaches and restaurants. I kept the bedroom windows open all night and loved falling asleep listening to the waves. We really enjoyed Mabel's just down the street and picked up steamed lobsters one night and enjoyed them out on the deck. Rosemary was so so nice and accessible and took care of everything we needed. You will never regret a trip to Maine in the summer!

Great town, great neighborhood, great location! This house is so funky, basic, outdated. Zero money has been invested into this property in decades! with the exception of a new refrigerator, washer and some painting. There is absolutely no excuse for this. You have to make your own beds, do all your own cleaning. There is an old moldy stench in the house that is deeply imbedded in the wall to wall to wall carpeting. There are all sorts of added fees by the owner that are really unfair considering the condition. I own my own rental property and we do everything for you, this is not that. While the owner is very sweet, she asked me to do tasks that I would never ask renters to do! We will not be staying here in the future.

This house and location never disappoint! Everything is comfortable and well stocked. The location is just minutes from everything you need or want. I could sit on the deck all day. We open the windows and take in the majesty of the water hitting the rocks! Wonderful house for families!

Location location location. So close to the ocean you can read relax and enjoy to your hearts content. Great for older families and couples. Well furnished.

We loved it. Perfect location, the views were spectacular and 3 bedrooms worked very well for us. Lots to do, but we enjoyed just sitting on the back patio watching the waves hitting the rocks. We also spent many hours walking on the rocks discovering tide pools.

Very nice location. We may have been the first guests of the summer, the house was a little musty.

Seaview Lane. Unbeatable view. All necessary conveniences. Clean and well-managed

Loved the house, and location! Very clean and accommodating

Beautiful setting. Right on the ocean. Quiet neighborhood of nice homes.

The location, space and convenience of this house are unmatched. I could sit on the deck and watch waves hitting the rocks all day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My family spends a week on Maine's southern coast every July. We were fortunate enough to enjoy every minute of this year's stay at 15 Seaview Avenue in Kennebunkport. Rather than repeating the superlatives in all of the earlier reviews, with which I wholeheartedly agree, I'll try to describe a few features that other guests did not mention. So, of course, my first remark is the one made by every other reviewer - relaxing on the deck or enjoying meals next to the huge dining room windows guests in this house are overwhelmed by the ocean views unlike any others I have ever seen. The 8 or 9 of us on this trip spent a week marveling at the beauty of the locale and the comfort of the house. We never once felt stir crazy, even on the one rainy day. Now for a few items not focused on by other reviewers. (1) We had more space than we knew what to do with. The 1st floor was "open floor concept" from front door through living room, dining area and all looking on to the enormous wrap-around deck. Then the rocks, waves and ocean. Oh my, I miss it. Upstairs, in addition to a spacious bed room and bath is a huge, open carpeted room with many windows facing the ocean. It became a perfect playroom. (2) On many previous trips we had to eat in stages or at separate tables. Not here. The very comfortable dining room table ran parallel to the windows and deck and had space -and chairs - for everyone, including kids. (3) In addition to the always available and helpful concierge, Helen, we were provided with easy-to-read instructions for everything we needed: wifi, which functioned flawlessly, laundry, dishwasher, etc. and a list of the locations of fans for every room, the remote control for the garage door and instructions for trash and recycling. I do have one or two suggestions which, had they been in place would have increased my enjoyment of this extraordinary vacation home. For something less than $25.00 a month HBO or one of the other movie services would be appreciated. Also, when paying in the neighborhood of $500/night, after a day of traveling one arrives at Seaview Avenue ready to put your feet up and open a beer. The need to locate the sheets and towels and to make our beds was an unwelcome surprise. Rather, raise the rate $1.00/night and hire a local teen-anger to prepare the beds. Stop looking at other properties and select this one before you lose the chance.

Great place to gather with family! We really enjoyed the ocean view and the close proximity to town. The house was a little outdated, (furnishings, kitchen, etc) but we had plenty of room for six people and you can't beat the view from this place - gorgeous!

I could have stayed forever on the back deck of this house watching the waves against the rocks. The house had plenty of room, was very comfortable, and met all our needs. We were able to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views and breezes off the big water! The location was also very convenient both to Cape Porpoise and Kennebunkport for shopping trips and dinners out. We enjoyed kayaking on the Cape Porpoise causeway and boating/fishing from the Kennebunkport Marina. I highly recommend this house!

My husband and I stayed at this property for two weeks in September. The house is a great location - you can walk into town easily. The view from the house to the ocean is perfect. Everything we needed was provided. We settled in easily, the house was very comfortable and we'll set up and we just enjoyed every moment. If we return to Kennebunkport we definitely will rent here again.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the perfect romantic getaway. It was our first trip to Maine and we highly recommend staying at this house to experience Kennebunkport and coastal Maine. The gorgeous view from the patio is worth the stay. It was just the two of us, so there was plenty of room. The house is clean, spacious and has everything you need to create a home away from home. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to town. There is a kitchen so you can cook your own meals from the incredible selection of local produce and seafood. If you do not feel like cooking, you are close to an array of great places to meat.

This is a charming but spacious New England style cottage. Its not far from town, yet privately situated on a quiet cul de sac. The ocean views from almost every room are incredible. The pictures are a very real representation of the home and the gorgeous views. I loved walking down along the road in front of the Bush compound and by the beautiful church that has "outdoor seating"! I took more pictures than i can count. If you love the ocean, comfort, nature, incredible locally grown (and fished!) food--this is the place for your next relaxing vacation/visit.

My husband and I stayed at the cottage last August and loved the location. It is on a secluded and quiet road but only a short distance from the bustling town of Kennebunkport. A beautiful rocky shoreline is just beyond the home's large deck, with a view of the Bush's compound just down the coast. A perfect location! The home is very comfortable and family friendly. The large living area has ample windows to enjoy the view. We took advantage of the well equipped kitchen to cook lobster and fish that we bought from the local market and vegetables and fruit purchased from a local farmer's market--the blueberries were scrumptious! We also found excellent restaurants nearby, and we had fun exploring Kennebunkport and shopping in its eclectic mix of stores. We enjoyed our stay very much, and recommend this home for anyone who wants to experience living like a local.

We stayed here in August and had an amazing visit. This house has an incredible view of the water and the coastline. Every morning was picture perfect as we sat out back on the deck and watched the birds and lobster boats while sipping coffee. We also enjoyed walking down to the water and checking out the tide pools. The house was very neat, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed, not to mention that almost every room has that gorgeous view. There's a living area on the main floor, but there's also a very large den upstairs which is a great place for kids or teens to hang out. We rented bikes and rode into town or to the nearby beaches every day. It's a good workout for a "flatlander" like myself, but it's not a difficult ride. You'll want to stop every few feet anyway because it's like riding through a postcard. Between the picturesque coastline, the charming homes, magnificent estates, and the gorgeous flowers, it's hard to know where to look! We found some great vegetable stands and fish markets and really enjoyed being able to go back to the house in the evening and cook fresh fish or lobster, and, of course, spend some more time sitting on that amazing deck. I can't wait to go back!
