Great bnb with thoughtful conveniences like bikes, beach chairs, 24 hour coffee/tea, and staff that provides help with everything. 1.5 miles from kennebunk so close enough to walk and bike while away from crowds. Walking distance to two beautiful beaches and porch and chairs to relax. Highly recommend.

The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and the property is very nice and well maintained. It’s in a residential area, with a front deck and lawn overlooking the ocean. Great spot about 1.6 miles from Kennebunkport harbor (a perfect walk mostly by the water). We really enjoyed our stay!
