About this property
The Kennebunk House: The Quintessential Beach Cottage Awaits!
Tucked in a quiet neighborhood, but only steps from the beach, the Kennebunk House has been a home away from home for families for decades. We purchased the property in 2009 and renovated it to include many of the modern conveniences you need. Even with these updates, the house remains true to its character as a seaside cottage with plenty of room for a single family or an extended group of friends and family. The house sleeps up to 12 in five bedrooms, including a separate "family bedroom" in the guest house that sits directly next to the main house. The Kennebunk House boasts an impressive number of common areas to allow you to enjoy your vacation: the propane-fueled fire pit for late night conversations, the front porch for a cocktail while taking in peeks of the ocean, the the first floor of the guest house for a spirited pool tournament, or the living room of the main house with its impressive stone fireplace. A block back from the ocean and walking distance to three beaches (less than 200 yards, the closest being the sandy Mother's Beach (including a great playground for kids) and the rocky Middle Beach) and Webhannet Golf Club , this quiet location offers easy access to all the Kennebunks have to offer.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Patrick Jones

We are a family of six who love the Kennebunks. We have owned a second home in Kennebunk since 2004, purchasing this house in this neighborhood, the Kennebunk House, in 2009. The Kennebunk Cottage was purchased in 2017 and the Kennebunk Bungalow in 2018, allowing us to share the experience with even more families. We enjoy sharing our home with people who will appreciate the area and the attention we give to meeting our guests needs. We look to improve our property -- in both large and small ways -- every year to benefit our guests' use and enjoyment of the house.
Why they chose this property
Our original house in Kennebunk, which we loved and enjoyed for about 5 years, was about a mile and a half from the beach. We loved the area and dreamed of some day moving closer to the ocean's edge. In 2009, amidst the financial crisis, we had an opportunity to by the Kennebunk House at a price that made moving close to the beach a reality. The home had been neglected for a few decades, so it required a lot of freshening up, inside and out. We worked hard to accomplish this while maintaining the wonderful charm and character of the home.
