Family friendly home close to all Cape Porpoise and Kennebunkport has to offer!

23 Ward is located in the fishing village of Cape Porpoise, in the heart of Kennebunkport. We are located within walking distance of a Fish Market, Grocery Store, Gift Store, Gourmet Food Shop, Restaurants and Galleries. We are an 8 minute drive to the beach or a nice 20 minute bike ride.

https://kristynewengland.com/cape-porpoise-kennebunkport-maine/

The house is two-stories with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on the second floor and 1 bedroom and 1 bath on the first floor. There are hard wood floors throughout and two entrances; one in the front and one in the back. AC in the summer and a gas fireplace for the winter. There is a casual dining table and counter seating off-the kitchen and a more formal dining room that can seat up to 14 people.

The backyard offers a great place for the family and/or kids to relax with a deck, seating, gas fire grill and fire pit. All of our neighbours spray (safely) for Mosquitos, so it's one of the few yards in Cape Porpoise that you can enjoy in the summer evenings.

It is also adjacent to our sister & brother in law's home (also for rent on VRBO #698058), but has frontage on Ward Road which is an extremely quiet street. If you found a rare weekend when both houses were available, you could have quite a compound!

We request stays of no less than one week. We will consider long-term a rental.

We hope you will consider a stay with at 23 Ward!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect for families and best neighborhood

Wonderful location and home! Cape Porpoise is such a special neighborhood and the house is great for families. A lot of bedrooms and space for being together, the backyard was wonderful for children. There are not AC’s in every bedroom, but if you prepare in advance and leave the hall one running, it doesn’t seem to be a problem. Thankfully Maine doesn’t get too hot! The hosts were very kind and even bought a pack N play and high chair for the home. Would absolutely return!

Wonderful stay in Cape Porpoise!

We loved our time in Cape Porpoise. Best rental we have ever stayed in — house was well designed, immaculately clean and comfortable. Lots of toys for our 4.5 and almost 2 year old to play with, and the owners provided kid supplies like a booster seat and stroller. Cape Porpoise is so charming and we loved Kennebunkport as well. Jack and Kelly were friendly and easy to communicate with. We hope to be back!!

Fantastic House

We had a great time at this rental property. Very family friendly with games, stroller, high chair all at the house. The open living area was great for socializing in the evening while the kids played. Gorgeous neighborhood to walk and close to beach. Walked down to the lobster shack and got fresh steamed lobster. We hope to come back in the years to come!!

Great location - beautiful house !!

Beautiful, clean and spacious house, well equiped (nothing was missing). Perfect for young families (baby gear, stroller, gates, little swimming pools, big yard and toys). Perfectly located in the beautiful Cape Porpoise, just a few miles from Goose Rocks Beach. Only thing missing was AC, so the nights were a bit uncomfortable for a few days, but we’ve been told it was unusually hot during our stay. Owner responded very promptly to our only inquiry. Great overall !

Wonderful House, Wonderful Owner

We had a really great experience renting this house in beautiful Kennebunkport. The owner was very mindful about our stay. Very detailed oriented (there were fresh flowers in the kitchen table and he let us borrow a double stroller and pack and play for our daughters). Clean and beautiful house walking distance from pier, restaurants, cafe, and supermarket. Overall, we had a fantastic week!

Modern, Spacious and Serene

We had 10 grown women COMFORTABLY stay in this home and there was still an extra bed that could have been used! The kitchen/living area is open except for the beautiful fire place that sets as a "divide" between the two rooms. The yard is quintessential Maine with tall trees surrounding the property and it's only STEPS from the harbor! We had an amazing stay and will DEFINITELY be back.

Wonderful!

This is such a wonderful property! The house was immaculate, well-equipped, and very comfortable. We had plenty of space for all 11 family members, ages 1-69 years, to spread out and relax. The backyard was perfect for the kids and we enjoyed strolling down to the grocery store and little coffee shop. The owners did an excellent job leaving helpful instructions regarding the various appliances and we really appreciated their recommendations for restaurants and fun activities to do with the kids. We would happily rent this house again!

Great house near the ocean

We couldn't be more happy to stay in this perfect house. The neighboroud is quiet and friendly, very close to Kennebunport but far enough to be away from the traffic it attracts. Goose Rock Beach is also a short drive, and most important, the house is perfectly equiped, and big enough so everybody can find a quiet space. We shall come back ! Luc

Great updated house for our whole family

Such a great house to spend our summer vacation. Plenty of space for the family to spread out. Cape Porpoise is such a quaint town too. Walked every morning down to the pier then stopped at the Cape Porpoise kitchen for a coffee. So relaxing and we all had a great week. One thing you may want to know is there is no AC. That was difficult a couple says as the temps were in the upper 80's . Other than that everything was great !

This is a beautiful house and is equipped with everything you could possibly need.

I was most anxious for my family to experience this area as I had come here every summer when I was young. This house gave us lots of room and the location was ideal- quiet yet close to so many activities. We couldn't have had a better time.

23 Ward - Fantastic property, great location, great owner

23 Ward is one of the most pleasurable rental experiences you will ever have! The house is large, very clean, modern, and comfortable. There is cable & surround sound for the house along with board games for entertainment; the kitchen is stocked w/ plates, silverware, pots, pans, cooking supplies, and new gas oven/stovetop; gas fired fireplace; comfy couches; great dining room and porch set; 3 car driveway; and many bedrooms, linens, towels, etc. There is a large porch and backyard with firepit with plenty of room for activities, hanging out, dining, & grilling. Cannot say enough about the house and how great it was. The property is located just an easy 5 minute walk from mini-town center of Cape Porpoise where you can find groceries, home/personal supplies, great take out, a couple shops, church and a small restaurant. Across the point (5 min drive) on Bickford Island there are a couple great restaurants/pub types (Pier 77, Cape Pier Chowder House). Similarly, a quick 7 minute drive brings you right into the beautiful downtown of Kennebunkport itself. Jack was a pleasure to work with. He was clear in his directions, amenable to schedule changes (we were running in two marathons that weekend so the schedule was a little crazy), and responsive to questions while at the house. There was also a binder of directions that clearly outlined everything about the house provided as well, which was a huge help. Overall an A+ stay and A+ owner. Highly recommend!

Wonderful home for our family vacation

Our family of 6 adults, 1 toddler and 2 babies had a wonderful stay in Cape Porpoise! The house was extremely clean, well-maintained, and a perfect set-up for grandparents and two young families. The kids spent a lot of time playing on the clean floor together, and there were bonuses like toys for them to use, baby-friendly bath products, a nursery with a crib, and a double stroller. It worked out well that the bedrooms and bathrooms were spaced out so that each family could have their own space, and we congregated in the comfortable living room downstairs. The kitchen was beautiful, clean, and made meal prep easy when we ate in for a few meals. The location was also excellent. It was a beautiful area to stroll around and an easy walk to a few shops and restaurants in Cape Porpoise. It was a short drive to Kennebunkport, beaches, and the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. The owner was also easy to communicate with throughout the process and everything went smoothly. We'd love to return in the future!
