Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen, with brand-new stainless steel appliances. Private Sunroom to enjoy early morning coffee with the smell of salty sea air. 2 bedrooms/2 baths. Ideally located minutes from Kennebunkport with restaurants, beaches, golf, tennis, and marina.

We always look forward to hosting great, respectful people.

Anniversary trip

Relaxing environment, close to center of town, stairs at back made it difficult to get luggage in and out

The Beach Hive cottage couldn’t have been better! The location was a lovely 10 walk to Kennebunkport where we wandered in and out of shops and stopped to eat. The cottage was exactly as advertised…a nice New England decor. The cottage was very clean and beds very comfortable! In the short few days that we were there, we had time to sip coffee in the sun room.Emily was a wonderful host and quick to respond to our questions. I would highly recommend this darling cottage to any visitors to the area. Next time we’re in Kennebunk, we’ll definitely choose this cottage as our number 1 choice! Thank you, Emily!

Great Location

This property could not be better situated to enjoy K’port! Loved being able to walk to restaurants and shops. The two bedrooms upstairs share a full Jack and Jill bath that was not clear in the listing but a pleasant surprise! A second full bath with walk in shower downstairs was great also. Getting luggage and supplies up the stairs from the parking lot and then bedrooms on the second floor posed a challenge for some in our party. All in all a great stay!
