About this property
The Gatehouse - Kennebunk Cape near Beach and Kennebunkport
Come home from the beach to your private sylvan oasis. Gather around the fire pit or lounge under the party lights on the deck. Conde Nast Traveler named us one of The Best Rental Beach Houses in the U.S.!
Explore the many beaches, trails and water activities the Kennebunks have to offer. Dock Square is a mile from the house and has fantastic food, shopping and entertainment options.
The Gatehouse is a family friendly getaway. The layout works great for three generation family guests. We are located at the end of a quiet road with large yard and surrounded by woods. Our road is 1 mile from Dock Square and the beaches.
Walk to town (sidewalks), play at the beach (parking passes included) and come home to a quiet oasis in the woods. Our road is newly paved, so the kids can bring bikes, skateboards etc. We are close to Mother's Beach and playground, KBIA, Gooch's Beach, Middle Beach, Webhannet Golf Club, The Bridal Trail, The Eastern Trail, whale watching, Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, over 40 restaurants within 5 miles, and many unique shops and antiques dealers.
The house offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open first floor with kitchen, living and eating area as well as an entry room with reading/game table and washer/dryer, front and back decks, large front and back yard, outdoor grill, propane fire-table, and outdoor furniture.
The layout works great for three generation family guests. The first floor master for the grandparents with adults and children occupying the upstairs bedrooms.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and full bath with tub/shower.
Upstairs has a bedroom with a king bed and a loft/bedroom with twin beds. The upstairs bath has a stand-up shower.
The kitchen is fully stocked with typical appliances plus microwave, coffee maker and filters, toaster, lobster pot and utensils.
There is parking for up to 4 vehicles and we include two beach parking passes for use at the local beaches.
There is a TV with a Roku player and soundbar with Bluetooth. We have also provided books, games, cards, puzzles for your enjoyment. Stay up to date with us on Insta: gatehousekennebunk

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Peter Rouillard
In 2013 Jennifer and I moved back to Kennebunk after 25 years in Chatham, New Jersey. We grew up here and after the kids went off to college, decided to come home. We have two adjacent properties that serve as our residence, the handmade post and beam barn is our office and the Gatehouse. We are happy to engage with our visitors, but will take your lead. If you want to be left alone, no problem. We are nearby in case you need anything.
Why they chose this property
Our property is a unique combination of a quiet setting surrounded by woods yet one mile from the beaches and Dock Square. Since we are at the end of the road, there is minimal road traffic.
What makes this property unique
So many of our guests have offered the exact same statement about the Gatehouse: "I don't know why, but it just feels good being in there". That seems like a fairly unique thing to us.
