About this property
Fair Winds Cottage ~ 1 mile to Kennebunk beaches
Our home, a renovated 1930’s Maine summer cottage, is located 1 mile from Kennebunk beaches and 1.5 miles from dining and shopping in Kennebunkport’s Dock Square. Close to golf, nature trails and only a 1/2 mile from the Mousam River for fishing and kayaking, it’s a great location to take in all southern coastal Maine has to offer. The cottage provides plenty of outdoor space, so come relax, dine on the back deck and take in the night sky with s'mores by the fire pit.

About the host
Hosted by Magan DeTeso
My husband and I live in Kennebunkport where we're working on another property, with plans of hosting guests in the future.
I love to hike with my sweet Boston Terrier, travel and spend time at the beach. Most recently I've taken up sailing with the big dream of circumnavigating the globe someday.

Why they chose this property
My husband Peter, who was raised just up the street from the cottage, purchased this property about 17 years ago. Built in1930, as a summer cottage, the two story portion is the original structure. When we met and I moved to Kennebunk, I loved the property and its proximity to the beach so much we lived in the cottage, slowly making improvements for several years. Now, we just want to share the cottage and this area of Maine, which is so beautiful, with others.
What makes this property unique
This property is within walking or biking distance from several Kennebunk beaches.
