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 shared with a cottage which we also own on the property. The house and cottage are rented separately through VRBO. If you want both properties you can rent them together but they are listed separately on this website. The cottage property number on VRBO is 121128. The house and cottage are completely separate from each other, so you have privacy with more than 100 yards separating the two ( see photo) . 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.

Peaceful Escape

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! A lovely older house with an incredible water view. The patio table out on the lawn overlooking the inlet was our favorite. A small fresh seafood stand is within walking distance and downtown Kennebunkport is a short drive away. It was extremely hot when we stayed and the air conditioners did well keeping up as the house gets a lot of sunlight.I would have loved a later check out however. I find 10am with little kids is tough and it would be ideal to not have to rush out the door. However, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Thank you Joan for letting us stay with you!

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!

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!

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.

Location was great. Halfway between Kennebunkport and Goose Rocks Beach. Definitely rent kayaks for your entire stay. Water level is high enough to kayak approx. 2/3rds of the time.
