Lovely house by the ocean!

This was a lovely home base for a family vacation - very clean and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen. The house was bright and airy, catching nice ocean breezes. Nice and quiet at night. Great communication with the owners.

Great location for a family getaway.

We enjoyed our stay in Kennebunk. The house was set up with all the necessities for our family to enjoy a long weekend away. It's walking distance to town, a local playground and a great beach. We enjoyed having three of the four bedrooms with ocean views, a great front yard to play in, and great off-street parking. The house itself was large enough for everyone to spread out while enjoying our time together.

Our stay was extremely comfortable. The hosts are very responsive and the home is clean, well appointed with an amazing view of the ocean and beautiful Kennebunkport Maine. The owners allow pets, which was wonderful as we love to travel with our dog. Can’t say enough about how wonderful this home, and the hosts are! Will definitely be returning again.

Incredible Spot

Great house with incredible views throughout. House was clean, bedrooms had lots of space and living room/kitchen views were spectacular. Easy to leverage the outside with two Adirondack chairs and a dining table outside facing the water along, and a deck on the second level. Kathy is an exceptional host-- accommodating and excellent communication. We will definitely return.

Great spot to getaway to!

We had a great time at this beach house. Right across the street from the ocean, just a few minute walk down to beach where there is sand, and is dog friendly (after Labor Day/before peak season they are allowed on the beach all day which is amazing). House was clean and worked perfectly for us. Close to town as well (quick drive). We hope we can come back again sometime!

Paradise!

The house was a perfect size for our family of 9 and the location was ideal. Walk to the beach was so short that we didn’t need to lug everything there. Kathy and Dave were super responsive to all of our questions and great hosts who had thought of everything for the house. Comfy beds too!

Terrific experience!

Everything about our stay was exceptional! The house is lovely and well kept, with everything we needed for our stay. It is right across the road from the ocean, and it was a joy to watch the water from the balcony in the early morning and at dusk. The neighborhood is friendly and upscale, and a short walk to Gooch Beach. The hosts were extremely helpful and thoughtful. Our stay was a great experience, and we will definitely be return visitors.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Deteso/David Deteso

David and Kathy DeTeso currently reside in northern California, but they feel a deep attachment to Kennebunk Beach because David was born and raised just a couple miles from "The Beach House". They make an annual week-long trip to the house each summer with their four daughters to enjoy the beach and visit with friends and family. David and Kathy love to open up their home for rent by guests from all around North America for the remainder of the year. Many guests of The Beach House return year after year to carry on traditions with their family and loved ones. Thanks to their incredible friend and property manager who resides in the area, the house is maintained with excellent care.

What makes this property unique

"The Beach House" is ideally located directly across from the ocean, and within walking distance of both Gooch's Beach and Mother's Beach. The views are amazing!
