Everything was beautiful and the cottage was much more spacious than we thought it would be. It was just a short drive to Kennebunkport and the beaches which was wonderful.

Why they chose this property

Arundel is a great hidden gem. We are close enough to everything but out of the hussle and bussell of the tourist traffic areas. Only 15 minutes from many local beaches. Wonderful antique shops to see, Kennebunk & Kennebunkport only 15 mins away. Walk thru and shop at the famous Dock Square, or take in a scenic tour. Arundel and the surrounding towns have so much to offer. Maine is the perfect vacation location.
