About this property

Ocean Views & Just Steps to Beach!

The Kennebunk Cottage is a one of a kind home with a retro flair that offers three bedrooms, two full baths and room for nine people comfortably. Originally built in the early 1980s, the home underwent a major renovation in 2017 to bring it up to the Kennebunk House standards. Fresh paint inside and out, new furnishings and bedding are just the start: a new deck and folding glass NanaWalls bring the outside in and wonderful views of the ocean into the second-floor common area. A recently completed (Summer 2021) first floor renovation creates an additional common area, with a foosball table, seating, smart TV, and a glass garage door opening up to a covered bistro seating area. House is fully air conditioned. An outdoor shower is available for our guests' enjoyment, which is particularly useful after a day at the beach! A block back from the ocean and walking distance to three beaches (less than 200 yards, the closest being the sandy Mother's Beach (including a great playground for kids) and the rocky Middle Beach) and Webhannet Golf Club , this quiet location offers easy access to all the Kennebunks have to offer. The Kennebunk Cottage is located in close proximity to the two other properties offered by these owners - right next door to the Kennebunk House (VRBO Property #7558528ha) and across the street from the Kennebunk Bungalow (VRBO Property #7521070ha). For more information about our other property, the Kennebunk House and for more information about the Kennebunk Cottage, please search for our Kennebunk House page on Facebook.

Back in Maine
After two years of pandemy, we were back in Maine for a one week summer holiday. It was our first time in KennebunkPort. The house is very nice and close to the beach. We had agreat time with our son and grand-sons.

KBK stay
We have been renting in KBK for 11 years, this house is a great location-probably best for Mothers as far as walking, but we had no problem heading to Goochs daily! The upstairs living room window/doors are amazing-you feel like you are right at the water and it’s an extension of the beach. It made the stay.. my only complaint is the queen guest bedrooms felt very old and could use updating for the price of stay.

Lovely home and great location
We loved the Kennebunk Cottage house. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 children. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and being able to see the ocean. The kitchen window opening was nice. The short walk to Mothers beach was great and the kids loved the playground there. Patrick was very responsive to any questions we asked. We all had a great time.

Best family/friend reunion!
The house worked out so perfectly for our family and friends, and the ocean view was the icing on the cake. To be able to open up the trifold doors and bar windows to the deck and create indoor/outdoor living was fantastic. Such a short walk to the water, everything was just wonderful! Thank you Patrick!

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Jones

Host profile image
We are a family of six who love the Kennebunks. We have owned a second home in Kennebunk since 2004, purchasing our current house, the Kennebunk House, in 2009. The Kennebunk Cottage allows us to share the experience with even more families. We enjoy sharing our home with people who will appreciate the area and the attention we give to meeting our guests needs. We look to improve our property -- in both large and small ways -- every year to benefit our guests' use and enjoyment of the house.

Why they chose this property

Our decision to purchase the Kennebunk Cottage came after our dear friend and neighbor, an amazing woman of 90+ years, passed away in 2016. She brought such light and energy to any room she entered and lived a full and fascinating life. We hope to do brighten others' lives by updating and refreshing her home, all the while bringing new friends into our fold to share this great house.

What makes this property unique

Quiet neighborhood with ocean views, yet just steps away from the beach. We love the front deck and plans are underway to expand the deck to allow our guests to fully appreciate and capture the views, sunshine and salty air.
