About this property
Relaxing and Private, Steps to White Sand Goose Rocks Beach
Welcome to our fully furnished sanctuary we jokingly call 'nutty pine' due to the pine that runs throughout the home. Our colorful escape pod is an 6-7 minute walk to GRB and a short bike ride or drive to the classic New England vacation town of Kennebunkport. The house is set on a half acre, 500 yards from the beach and benefits from trees and privacy yet you still hear the waves at night. Highlights include a cozy open layout kitchen updated in 2018 and dining area, a peaceful screened-in 3 season porch with a second dining area, and a private enclosed outdoor shower that I can't recommend higher to make you feel like you have really gotten away.
The beds are comfortable and there are options: traditional mattresses (upstairs) or memory foam (master) depending on your preference. The kitchen has new induction stove and everything you need however many prefer to use the grill on the back porch to cook while overlooking our mature native apple tree. The grassy private yard is perfect for lawn games -- Bocce is our favorite.
Stay out of the car and bring the bikes! This area has some great riding and weekend mornings are for bikers. Earth (great restaurant) at Hidden Pond is a 6 minute ride. Among other activities you can SUP (stand up paddleboard) at GRB... there is a great paddle to Timber Island for an adventure. Surfing can be found (swell permitting) up the road at Fortunes Rock Beach. Bikes and gear can be stored in our shed next to the house.
Providing you with a great vacation is our main concern, second only to caring for the property and surrounding flora (and neighbors). We are interested in developing a relationship with responsible mature renters who can appreciate a low environmental impact vacation in this serene setting.
If your vacation abuts a long weekend and no one is using the property we'd be happy to extending your stay.
We love vacationing here and always come home feeling rested and peaceful.

This was our second stay at Jason's place and it is phenomenal. The place is fantastic, the location is perfect, and Jason is communicative and affable. Will return next summer for sure!
We loved our stay. The cleanliness and amenities, not to mention the location were all terrific for a vacation at the beach, especially with a few little ones running around. We had a terrific time and hope to come back next year! Thanks for a wonderful week at GRB!
Jason’s place was fantastic! The location was great, and unlike some cottages in the area it has a washer and dryer, and dishwasher. Jason was responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!
The house was great for us to host our 3 adult kids at various times during our 2 week vacation. The screened-in porch was a work space, dinner location, and host of our evening card game. Goose Rocks beach was an easy 2/3 mile walk and the house’s red wagon made it an easy trek.
Great place for the grandchildren. Walk to beach was more than expected. Comfortable beds. A few more pots & pans would be good

Glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm surprised that a full set of cooking pots and a full set of baking pans wasn't enough but we'll take care of it, thanks for mentioning!
This is a sweet and comfy house with a true Maine essence. It’s in an excellent location - nice walk to the beach, (about 4/10ths mile.) The neighborhood is charming and perfect for bicycles so next time we visit, we will get bikes.
Jason and Debbie have created a very efficient system with clear and kind communication. Loved it!

Short hike to GRB
The beach is a half mile away. So many many steps to the beach is more accurate.
The house is cute and fairly well equipped. Plenty of room for the six of us.
Outdoor shower was disconnected until our last day which was disappointing.

Thanks for staying with us Lorrie! The house is .4 miles from the beach as stated in the house description- I hope the beach cart we provide helped. When you pointed out an issue with the outdoor shower we had it back online within 24 hours. Have a great summer!
We enjoyed our beach vacation at Jason's Goose Rocks Beach house and are very interested to come back. The house is very nice with many updates. Jason was very responsive.
There are a few things we thing other guests would like to know especially those with little kids.
- There are lots of fun indoor toys for kids ages ~5 and under. Also lots of stuffies including a humungous teddy bear!
- The house is about 1/2 mile from the beach. 10-15 min walk (depending on whose walking) or 3-5 min bike. The road to the beach is very quiet and flat. It was awesome for our 5 yrd daughter who is just learning to pedal bike to practice and get confident.
- House is very close to GRBA Community House which offers weekly memberships, camps/childcare and tennis lessons, kids move night etc. We didn't do this but would consider in future.
- There was a very helpful large and sturdy beach cart.
- There were a limited number of plates, bowls utensils. Enough for two people but not for a family with little kids. We bought paper ones for the week.
- There is no lobster pot but Wolff's lobster about 1 mile away is awesome and will cook'em for you or sell picked meat.
- There is cornhole and bocce to play in the yard!

Hi Patrick! Thanks for staying with us and good point about the availability of small plates - we’ll take care of it!
As advertised, the house was within walking distance to the beach- even for our grandkids. Who, btw, we’re thrilled with the toys and stuffed animals at the house. The outdoor shower was a wonderful feature enjoyed by all. Much time was spent in the screened in porch and the large back yard was perfect for throwing a frisbee. Thank you!
My family has been vacationing at Goose Rocks beach for over 100 years. A special tradition that keeps pulling us back every year with each new generation. This cottage was perfect - clean, quiet, and only a short bike ride to the beach. Thank you for hosting us this year!
The property was fine, could use some updating. Fans would not work until I took it apart and cleaned it, AC filters were black, ( 2 of us with Asthma) cleaned those also. Being in Maine, we assumed there may be a lobster pot and some tools, we assumed wrong, that was disappointing, so we went out for Lobster. For $50 or so, may be a good addition to the pots and pans cabinet. Jason’s a great guy, good communication.
We had a wonderful time at this GRB home! A very comfortable home, with everything we needed and a terrific location. Jason was easy to contact and it all added up to a great trip! Would definitely come back!
This was a great house with a great location! The owners were easy to communicate with and replied quickly. The home is very clean with whimsical decor. We loved eating breakfast in the screened-in porch and grilling out for dinner.

About the host
Hosted by Jason
Hi, We are Deb (allergic to photos), Jason and Samantha. We have traveled extensively in Central America, Europe and the Middle East. We value family and friends, working hard and playing hard, and are always looking to build relationships with interesting people. We are good friends with our neighbors at home and on vacation!
Why they chose this property
When we set out to find a 'beach house in the woods' our realtor chuckled. However that is what we have found and would like to share with you. The house is comfortable, gets a nice breeze, is private and there is nothing better than listening to the tide from your bed at night.
We fell in the love with the house and property when we first laid eyes on it. Since then we have loved spending time there during all 4 seasons. Fall colors in Maine are gorgeous and the weather is great for bike riding or jogging. Surfers like Jason also have a great time this season. Winter is serene and cozy and we love bundling up and walking on the beach when it's quiet. The Christmas decorations and activities in the village of Kennebunkport are incredible. In spring, we enjoy spending time outside, grilling and eating on the porch, and in summer, well, summer is what it is alllllll about.
What makes this property unique
Walking distance to the beach. As one of the older houses on the street, it is on a prime parcel with a fabulous mature apple tree in the yard. You are invited to pick your own apples in late summer and fall! There is a shed to keep bikes and gear out of the rain. We have a beach cart for guests to use to and from the beach. There is a gas grill on the back porch and lawn games (corn-toss and bacci) to play while the burgers get done. If the bugs start to bug you there is a screened in porch that still counts as outdoor time!
