About this property

Oceanfront, Exceptional Lighthouse Views, Private & Short Walk to Restaurants

This exceptionally charming cottage has been in the family for over 100 Years. We have recently completed an extensive renovation which preserves the character and historic architecture with the comfort of modern conveniences. The location with direct views of Goat Island Light is beyond compare. Sit on the expansive wrap-around porch and watch the tide come in until the ocean becomes your front yard. At low tide, walk the sand flats to Stage Harbor or explore the nearby conservation trust islands. Walking distance to restaurants, galleries, and markets in Cape Porpoise Village. A short 5-minute drive to Kennebunkport.
The cottage features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful spot on the coast of Maine

This is a well loved family summer home. It is set on an inlet along the coast of Maine, perfect for kayaking and relaxing. The home is fully equipped with the exception of a furnace which was minor issue as we had unseasonably cool weather. The fireplace did get plenty of use which added to our warmth and the ambiance!!! We have rented homes in the area for several years now and this is our all time favorite!!!!

Spectacular!

This cottage is a wonderful mix of rustic and renovated. The chef’s kitchen is a dream and so is the bathroom on the first floor. The porch offers the perfect blend of spacious relaxation and watching the water ebb and flow in front of your eyes. We had 7 guests who stayed the whole week and a few friends that came for just a single night. We had three double kayaks brought to our home and made our way to the Lighthouse on a gorgeous day. Relax and enjoy this beautiful home. We hope to come back soon.
