About this property

Welcome to Doanes Wharf!

Welcome to Doanes Wharf!

Situated in the heart of Kennebunkport, this marina-front property offers an unbeatable location. Step out and explore shops and restaurants, with Federal Jacks just next door. A short drive takes you to all the Kennebunk beaches, making it an ideal spot for a memorable vacation by the water.

As you arrive, the traditional Captain’s House welcomes you, overlooking the Kennebunk marina. Each morning, wake up to the sight of lobster boats and the sun dancing on the water.

Inside, the spacious open-concept kitchen and dining area are perfect for a classic Maine Lobster Bake or a cozy family game night. Enjoy a separate breakfast nook for your morning coffee or a quiet read, with views of boats passing by.

The large living room features a gas fireplace, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration or beach activities. Sink into the comfortable couches and enjoy a movie or your favorite summer show.

On the main level, you'll find a convenient half bathroom with a washer and dryer, perfect for keeping sandy beach towels from tracking through the house.

Upstairs, discover four bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a king bed and stunning ocean views, while a junior primary bedroom also boasts water views. Two double twin rooms can be converted to kings upon request, and two identical full bathrooms complete this level.

Step into the backyard and prepare to be amazed. Host a traditional lobster bake while watching boats come and go, observe the wildlife of birds swimming by, or simply soak up the sun by the water.

With its four bedrooms and two and a half baths, this property offers plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy a wonderful summer, fall, or winter getaway.

Sleeps 8 Guests | Bedroom 1: King Primary | Bedroom 2: Queen Junior Primary | Bedroom 3: Double Twin | Bedroom 4: Double Twin | Linens & Towels Included | Washer & Dryer On Site | Gas Grill | Salt & Shine Concierge Services | Please note: This property has a shared front parking lot with the marina, labeled for marina parking.

Great location!

We picked this home based on location and were not disappointed. Our family loved seeing the boats come in & out, watching fisherman on the docks and walking to great food and shopping. Our young children loved playing with the games provided and playing football in the large back yard. I reached out to the property manager on a few occasions during our stay and she was very responsive and friendly.

Doanes wharf

Overall the rental house was comfortable and accommodating. Great view of the marina and the boats coming and going. Only footsteps from town where there is plenty of shopping and restaurants. Location is nice because it’s central to attractions south towards York and north towards Portland. Nice if you have a large family as there is plenty of room for 8 to sleep. Parking was a bit of an issue, as the marina fills up on the weekend. Because of the location it is still a desirable place to stay
