Close to everything & on the Mousam River's edge is our newly renovated guest suite surrounded by beautiful gardens. The unit has its own entrance in the back of our home with a private seating area that looks out over the river. The suite has LR/kitchen area (Queen sofa bed), one bedroom with King size bed and one bath with shower. Home is located 10 minute walk from downtown Kennebunk. The Kennebunk beach is a 4.5 mile drive. Portland is a 30 minute drive.
Guests are welcome to bring their own kayaks and enjoy time on the river. We have a dock for easy access, though water levels can vary depending on the season and rainfall, so launching may not always be ideal directly from the dock.
Beach parking pass is available during the season.

We loved everything about this lovely home. The location, decor, cleanliness, and grounds were top notch. We highly recommend and would absolutely stay again if visiting Maine. Thank you!
Everything was thoughtfully planned and available. Beautifully decorated inside with a peaceful sitting area that backs onto a creek. We would definitely stay here again if in this area.
Everything was great...loved being close to downtown Kennebunk and our family that lives in the area! Well decorated...lots of thought put into making this place feel like home.
This property is as advertised. Beautifully decorated and most accommodations you could want/need are provided. Even beach chairs, towels, and umbrella are provided! There’s even a beach parking pass!! We appreciated the cute porch and quiet backyard retreat! Definitely recommend this stay! walsmaller

Cute Place
Walk to town, all the basics you might need. Dedicated parking spot. A nice bottle of wine set out to welcome us.
The place was perfect for my husband, teenage son and me. We were able to visit Ogunquit, Wells, Kennebunkport and Portland from this centrally located area to hit the beaches, shop, and golf.
The one bedroom was nicely decorated, comfortable king size bed and pull out sofa bed with nice bedding. Made breakfast each day. We hoped to kayak but the water levels were a bit low, but lovely setting overall.
This property is like stepping into a dream, the location on the river and flowers were just magical. The décor was gorgeous and tasteful, I particularly enjoyed the art work. So much thought was put into having every little thing you may need to make your stay comfortable. The bed was super comfortable too. And it is within driving distance to the whole area. We didn't use the kakas, but that would be fun for those who use them. I would stay here again in a heart beat.
We so enjoyed our two night stay! The space was very clean, close to everything, and it was fun to see all the little details in the decor. Everything we needed to go on an adventure was included. There were kayaks, beach chairs, a soft cooler, beach towels and even a parking pass. Michelle really thought of everything! The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was dark and quiet. Would definitely recommend!
This was our first trip to the Maine coast to attend our niece’s wedding. The accommodations were perfect! Very neat, clean and convenient with all the comforts of home. (The bed was especially comfortable!) It was obvious to us that much heart and attention to detail went into making this property very warm and welcoming. Although someone does live upstairs it was very private and quiet. The owner was very responsive and helped to make our stay wonderful. Would definitely consider staying here again!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay and hope to return to visit in the future. The place was clean, cozy and well stocked with everything we needed to feel at home on our weekend away. Being able to take the kayaks out on the river was a great perk that came with renting this property.
Michelle was great and the process to check-in and out was easy. I highly recommend this property to any couple looking for a quiet place to stay that’s a short drive from many restaurants, shops and beaches.
I totally enjoyed my stay, River's Edge had everything I needed. The space is lovely, quiet and the hosts thought of everything one would need to a comfortable visit.
This place is fairly new. It has a good size bedroom along with the kitchen and living room area. The place was nicely decorated with a beach theme. We found the place very comfortable for our 3 night stay. The little patio is cute. We did not get to use it as it was cooler when we visited but I could imagine myself having my coffee outside. The location is only a few miles from several beaches, restaurants and coffee houses. Portland is only 30 minutes away making it easy to spend sometime there. Overall, I would not hesitate staying here again when I visit the coast of Maine.
River's Edge was ideal for a last minute, overnight stay. Since most properties require minimum two-nights, I was thrilled to have found this. The space is immaculate, beautifully decorated and looks out over a lush backyard and river. We loved everything about it and would highly recommend.

What makes this property unique
Our favorite part about this space is the water view. It's so nice to wake up and sit outside with a cup of coffee and look at the water. It's very peaceful and quiet here but there is also so much to do. Walking distance to downtown Kennebunk and only 10 minutes from the Lower Village and Kennebunkport.
