Perfect location

The house was in a perfect location for our family. We walked to KBIA every morning for our son’s swim lessons and spent countless hours at the playground. He was able to ride his bike in the surrounding neighborhoods and of course very short walk to the beach. The house has everything you need. Our favorite area was the screened in front porch where we spent all of our breakfasts and evenings enjoying the view and listening to the waves.

Perfect southern Maine getaway spot

House was exceptional and host as good as they come! We greatly appreciated having nice beds and the screened-in porch was perfect for those buggy nights when you still want to be outside enjoying the sound of ocean waves and salt air. Host went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Bither

My sister and I are the 4th generation to own this home. We spent part of our summers here since we were born. My great grand parents (North family) purchased this home after their home at Goose Rocks Beach was lost in the big fire in 1945. It is our special place. Although we travel far and wide, Kennebunk Beach is our True North.

Why they chose this property

This property has been lovingly maintained but not not overly updated. It has all the updated convinced while maintaining the integrity and charm of a Maine beach cottage. The large screened in porch is where many hours are spent listening to the waves, the faint cries of delight from children playing on the beach and talking into the wee hours. Many of our guests come with family, perfect for two and three generations (even four). We are very close to Mother's Beach which is perfect for children, and even closer to "little beach" which is more private. Down the road is Gooch's Beach where there is surfing and many more people. A perfect summer cottage!
