Cozy Cottage

Perfect size for 1-3 people. Ellen thought of everything so if you forget something,you will probably find it here. Parsons Beach is a gem but getting one of the 8 parking spaces is unlikely. Plan to ride bikes or drop off belongings and park at end of Brown St. and walk in. Especially enjoyed screened in porch.

Comfy Cottage in Kennebunk

I stayed at Ellen's cottage with my adult kids for a week this August. It was even sweeter than the pictures describe. Super comfortable and enough room for 4 adults and my little dog. Plenty of towels and linens, kitchen well stocked and the little gas fireplace made for a warmup on a couple of chilly mornings. Definitely recommend!

Great Cozy Cottage

Overall what an awesome stay! The cottage was so peaceful and beautiful. No complaints at all. I think any family or couple would love this! My favorite part of the cottage was the sunroom. You can cozy up and read a book. My dog lily and my husband loved it too. It was really nice how close it was to the beach and those beach views nothing compares!

Kozy Kottage

Lovely cottage with very cute "beachy decor." 15 minute walk to Kennebunk Center and short drive to beautiful Parson's beach. No dishwasher or TV but AC in main room and wonderful yard and screened in porch. Cottage well stocked with all of the essentials and Ellen was very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Private cottage near beach and town

We wanted our own place to wind down at instead of a hotel which we had done is years past in this area. My husband, 3 month old, 2 dogs and myself thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage. It is a short drive to the beach, and a short walk or drive into the town of Kennebunk. I think this place is best for a couple and children. It'd be tight for 2 couples (the second bedroom has a full bed). Also the house is fully stocked with anything you think you could need day to day. We really loved everything about our vacation which revolved around having such a comfortable place to stay. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Ellen!

About the host

Hosted by Ellen

I love the beach! I spent my summers growing up on the coast of Maine. My whole family including two grown children, my little grandson, sister, cousins all love the beach and have that inherited pull to the ocean that runs in our blood from our shipbuilding Grandpa.

We've been vacationing on Long Island in Casco Bay. Casco Bay is another nice day trip you might enjoy. Ferry service is available out of Portland at Casco Bay Ferries.

When not enjoying the cottage myself, I spend my time living on a boat in Kittery, Maine and enjoying the sites and sounds of the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth, NH.

I usually have a little garden growing in the backyard with vegetables and fruit - help yourself to whatever is available.

I've been to a lot of beaches all over the world and I truly believe we have some of the best right here in Maine!

Why they chose this property

LOCATION: This house is a short bike ride to the beach or just a few minutes by car. But the beach is not the only thing to do (only in my mind), there is so much to see and do within walking distance: concerts in the Park, farmer's markets, craft fairs, hiking, bowling to name just a few.

Kennebunkport is 5 minutes away, groceries, health food store, fitness gym all within a mile or two.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, private beach at the end of the road, just take a right and keep going until you hit the beach (no parking permit required). The town of Kennebunk is a short walk from the house for a leisurely stroll for shopping, diner or just an ice cream.

The old historic Inns in the Kennebunk/Kennebunkport area are a treat to visit for lunch or diner.

The quiet backyard and patio is just right for cup of coffee in the morning or relaxing after a long day.
