Why My Place is So Special


From 30 feet of elevation, enjoy the best Maine offers: expansive skies, breathtaking views, ocean, 15 private acres of meadow, pristine forest and tidal marsh. Your big neighbor is Rachel Carson. To get to the beach, it just takes a few minutes of normal walking down a field path and then on an enchanted private road bordered by pines and marsh. Or if you prefer drive as there are a few parking spaces. Fishermen fish at Mousam River. (We provide rods.) Or, sit by the waves and cast into the crystal blue surf. You can easily get your fishing license online at the Town of Kennebunk. Or if you like boating, take out your light-weight kayak or canoe. Shops rent them in Kennebunkport.

A swim in the in-ground heated pool will awaken you in the morning and relax you in the evening. The water pump works 24/7 to maintain cleanliness. Around the house are 3 large decks, several lounging chairs, tables, a barbecue and outdoor games. For all ages and for all weather vacation enjoyment, play in the large Family Game Room! Enjoy ping pong and numerous games and puzzles in relaxing nooks.
