About this property

Waterfront Home with Pier

Formerly rented by the U.S. Secret Service for several seasons, we are now doing weekly & monthly rentals. Our waterfront home is surrounded by water and has ocean, island and lighthouse views on a quiet tidal cove -every six hours the tide goes out. Located on 4 acres in Cape Porpoise, a small fishing village in Kennebunkport. Our property is on the end of a private road so there is plenty of privacy. The house looks directly towards the water so at high tide you can take in the water views and feel like you are away from it all. We have our own pier and float on the property which you may use to tie up a boat -you can bring or rent a kayak, canoe or boat & explore the seven Cape Porpoise islands. A great place for kids to swim, or fish for crabs off the end of the pier. The pier is is shared with the cottage which we also own on the property- which can be rented with the house if needed. The house and cottage area also rented separately (also through Homeaway/VRBO) They are completely separate from each other, so you have privacy with more than 200 feet separating the two. The house has a fully equipped galley kitchen, dining room, family room and living room with water views. Sleeps 6. Three bedrooms: master w/ fireplace & water view. 2 full baths- one on each floor. Back porch & deck, front porch/ deck overlooks water. Sorry, No Pets.


Less than a mile to Cape Porpoise village, you will find restaurants, a grocery store, library and art gallery. It is a scenic walk to the local pier where you can fish or watch the lobstermen bring in their catch. A three mile drive to Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunk beaches and Kennebunkport center.

Great location
We had a wonderful time staying at the house. We were able to visit so many great towns in Maine and experience a lot of what Maine has to offer. When we were not out, exploring, we were back at the house which was off the beaten path for quiet and privacy. The house had everything we needed. The house is located on the harbor, and it was interesting to watch the tides go in and out We could walk into town, which was a plus. Our host were very friendly and responsive.

Beautiful Home
We absolutely loved staying in this home. It was very clean and ready for us upon arrival. The home has a wonderful view from the front windows on a quiet, dead-end street. It was perfectly located in Cape Porpoise a few miles from Kennebunkport, lobster shacks and the best beaches. We hope to be back soon!

Waterfront, Waterfront, Waterfront :)
My family of 6 stayed here for 4 days in the middle of June 2023. What a gem of a home on the water in Maine! Exactly as described. Lots of space both inside & outside the home. Very clean & neat. Supposedly the original house was built in 1843, and added onto since. Quiet location. Peaceful watching the tide go in & go out. Enjoyable viewing the various seabirds hunting & swimming in the inlet. Lots of wildlife & birds in the woods behind the house. It was chilly but beautiful, only raining on the day we arrived & the day we left. We got fresh seafood & lobster (OF COURSE) at Langsford Road Lobster & Seafood House on the street just across the inlet. Super yummy. We ran for exercise along the local roads, taking in all of the beauty around us. We enjoyed talking with neighbor Dan, who’s lived there 60 years & has good stories to tell. The hosts were super responsive and pleasant with which to work. Note that there will be folded clean sheets on top of all the beds when you arrive as you are expected to make the beds upon arrival (so that you know the sheets are clean). A 5-star VRBO for sure! Thank you for the great memories! :)

a wonderful house in a beautiful setting
This house is in a wonderful setting with captivating views. It is very peaceful. we enjoyed just sitting in the living room or in the enclosed front or back porch. It is only minutes from downtown Kennebunkport and some nice restaurants are close by as well. The place is clean and comfortable. The stairs to the second-floor bedrooms are a little steep so take your time using them. The owners checked in with us to make sure all was well.

Can’t wait to return!
Such a beautiful spot! There are so many inviting areas inside and out to while away the hours that we needed a longer stay to take advantage of them all. This older home was comfortable and well appointed - it should be noted though for us older folks that all the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. The grounds and view exceeded our expectations which were pretty high already based on the photos provided. Watching the birds, tidal changes, and the night stars quickly became our favorite pastimes. It was a perfect jumping off point for day trips north and south but I would not have minded if we just stayed put on one of the porches. We all felt the same! To top it off, Joan was so helpful with our questions and made the perfect host. We are already talking about when we can return! Thank you Joan and Phil

Great house, hosts and location!
We loved our week long stay. The house was even better than described and we had a lot of room for our family of 5. We made good use of the waterfront location with canoeing to the nearby islands and crabbing off the dock. The view is beautiful. The Cape Porpoise area is a long-time favorite of ours with the local restaurants and quick access to Goose Rocks Beach. Joan was a fantastic host and made sure the planning for the trip and our week stay was flawless.

Beautiful setting in a convenient location
We enjoyed our week long stay. The property is lovely with beautiful views. We loved that the location is quiet, but it is still very close to everywhere you want to go. The center of Kennebunkport is just minutes away and there is plenty even closer than that in the Cape Porpoise area. We had 4 adults and 2 young children at the property. We liked the two separate living areas in the house, so the kids could do their kid things in one and if an adult wanted some quiet time they could go to the other. The kids' bedroom did open right near the top of the stairs, which were a little steep for our youngest, but we just kept a close eye and had no issues there. We ate out at many of the local spots and also found it easy and convenient to prepare several meals in the house as well. The owners are very kind and available to the renters for any needs that should arise.

Perfect location and amazing view
This house was amazing! The location was great for traveling up and down the coast, the kitchen was amazing stocked for cooking dinner (which we did most nights), the views, amazing! It was great having the dock and bay access. Cape Porpoise was an amazing little village and don’t pass up Nunan’s and Mussettes!! The owners were actually staying in the cottage while we were there and so helpful with questions etc. this is a must stay!
