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.

Every morning and night we were greeted by a mother deer and her fawn. It was precious. The stay was very relaxing. The scenery was amazing. Would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful stay at this house ! Lots of room both inside and out ! The house is clean comfortable and a true pleasure to be in for a vacation !! Lots of supplies and extras like cleaning supplies, blankets, dishes, and kitchen items!always wish we could stay longer! But can’t wait to come back!Joan & Phil are friendly,always available and helpful if needed. thank you both for making our stays perfect.
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!
Very pleased with the charm of the home. Had everything we needed and very clean. Location was perfect, close enough to town. Would highly recommend the place to future guests .
We had a wonderful time at this property, right on the shores of Cape Porpoise. The sunrises were amazing, and we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the picturesque village. It was the perfect place for a family getaway!
Had a wonderful few days over the long weekend at this peaceful and beautiful home. The property owners, Joan and Phil, seem to have thought of everything. Thanks!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was just as described and perfect. The location was breathtaking. It was extremely convenient to drive anywhere we were planning and m
Visiting.
This lovely home on the water was perfect for our family. It was roomy, comfortable, and within walking distance to great restaurants and the local grocery store. Highly recommend. We so enjoyed our stay!
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.
In town for a family wedding, this worked perfectly for us, adult grown children and elderly father. Very spacious downstairs, and bedrooms worked for our group. Would definitely rent again if back in the area.
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!
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! :)
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.
