About this property

Two Bedroom Historic Cottage @ Goose Rocks Beach - Sleeps 5, Great Location!

If you've always wanted to stay in an authentic Maine cottage that evokes a time when life was simpler, here's your chance to find a new home away from home. The house is small yet charming, with well equipped workable kitchen including full sized stove and refrigerator, dining room and living room. Nice clean updated bathroom with shower plus a half bath in master. Even a washer & dryer. You can't beat the location at this price (just 265 steps to the beach). Peaceful views and sounds of running tidal creek from a great back deck. Tremendous outdoor space - front, side and rear decks. Perfect for getting your family away to a great beach community. If you love Goose Rocks, you'll have a great vacation at the Enchanted Cottage. Here’s what one of our guests wrote to us recently: “Of all the places I've stayed in this country and others, Enchanted Cottage comes out tops, in what it is, where it is, and it is Enchanting!” (Kennebunkport Short-Term Rental License: STR21-00035)

An enchanting stay at the enchanted cottage

We loved everything about our stay: the proximity to the beach, the outdoor dining spaces, the tidal creek just off the rear deck, the comfortable beds, the tasteful decor and the helpful notes left by the host. When we needed something, the property manager was very helpful. This was our first time at Goose Rocks Beach and it is spectacular.

Couldn’t get any better

Was a great stay! We will definitely return to this cozy cottage. The location was fabulous, with a short walk to the beach which we took in every single day..oh joy! Never mind watching the tidal pools rise twice daily right outside the door, a great connection with the natural beauty of the area. The cottage was exactly as described. It was homey and cozy, nothing underdone or overdone. It was perfect! Everything was thought of to make our stay comfortable. The hosts were excellent to communicate with and most definitely responsive. They definitely take pride in the property. We will return for sure!

Our stay at Goose Rock Beach Cottage

The enchanted cottage is located within few steps from the Goose Rock Beach with all the comfort and charm of the historic beach cottage. We enjoyed all the activities during our stay, hiking around the area, a fishing trip, renting bikes and kayaks, and finally relaxing in the beach. We highly recommend this area of Maine for your next vacation destination.

The property and location is great. The only suggestion we have is it needs closet space and it would be nice to be able to check in earlier. We hope to return

The most enchanted weekend!

My fiancé and I had the BEST week at The Enchanted Cottage. The house was kept perfectly, and had room for our two friends to spend the night. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we spent almost every meal on one of the porches enjoying the beautiful weather. We are so excited to make this a tradition each 4th of July! Thank you so much Phil & Alexis!

The perfect beach spot

We LOVED this property. The owner was upfront about the property and available via text during our stay. The house itself was very charming and the perfect size for our family of 4. The kitchen is well equipped and a good size for a vacation spot. The deck is AMAZING and offers a perfect spot to sit in the afternoon protected from the sun so you can enjoy the tidal creek in the backyard. The walk to the beach is less than 3 minutes and the beach itself is perfect for kids of all ages. We will definitely be looking into booking this property again in the future!

Another perfect weekend here!

This was our second time staying at The Enchanted Cottage and it did not disappoint. We had beautiful weather for May and enjoyed time on the beach and walking the coastal neighborhood. The cottage is beautifully decorated with more updates. A quiet, peaceful neighborhood near the beach. We walked to the Tides Beach Club for dinner one night too. One of our favorite places and we will be back! Phil is wonderful to work with.

Wonderful New England Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at the Enchanted Cottage. The house was cozy and comfortable, with a lot of New England charm. Terrific location on the bank of a tidal creek and a short walk to a fantastic beach.

Charming Cottage

The Enchanted Cottage is even more adorable in person than the pictures show! It is an old, creaky house but it is wonderfully charming. It is in a truly lovely neighborhood very near the beach, and the stream behind the house lulled us to sleep at night. The furnishings are new (except when old is better!) and very comfortable. The beds are quite comfortable as well. (Remember, you must provide your own sheets and towels.) The bathrooms are small but functional. We did not cook, but it seems as if a simple meal would be easy to prepare in the small kitchen. The owners were great at communication and provided some great ideas of things to see as well as restaurant suggestions. All in all we loved our stay! Definitely recommend!
