Cozy Cottage With Private Water Access

Cozy beach cottage in a peaceful neighborhood located in Kennebunkport. The cottage is surrounded by natural beauty with access to a small harbor, that overlooks a classic Maine lighthouse. The water is a short two-minute walk away.

The space
Cottage

Everything you need is here: high-speed internet, cable TV, comfortable living room, luxury linens and most importantly peace and quiet. With one bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, living room, and patio, this is the perfect coastal location for vacations, impromptu getaways, and relaxation. Water views during spring, fall and winter make your stay even more special.

Guest access

Guests have access to the entire cottage including a patio and yard. You will have entry with a key. The hosts are available to answer any of your questions that arise during your stay. Otherwise, you will have complete privacy.

More information

The cottage is newly renovated with new paint, flooring, bathroom, furnishings, décor, and landscaping. Feel free to use the outdoor patio for relaxing, sipping a drink in the evening, or cooking on the grill. You may also use the storage shed to store your bikes if you choose to bring or rent your own. Two multi-speed bicycles are provided for your use along with a cart to carry your beach items.

The cottage is located in beautiful Cape Porpoise and a short ride from a working lobster dock, nearby light house, lovely art galleries, market, deli, and wonderful restaurants. Make your stay special by preparing your own seafood.

You will remain comfortable with central heat and AC or you can also open the windows and enjoy the cool breezes and fresh salt air.

You will find a notebook to assist you in getting the most out of your stay. This will include recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing, and recreation, including major shopping outlets in Kittery & Freeport Maine. If you are really adventurous, you can take the train from Wells to Boston for the day.

During the summer there is a seven-day minimum stay, with check-in on Saturdays. **Except 2023** The calendar makes it look like there is availability only on Fridays during the summer. This is not the case. VRBO’s policy is to show the other days as booked because a reservation can only be started on Saturday.

Perfect Coastal Maine retreat
Such a charming cottage! Absolutely loved the morning walks to the water and drinking coffee on the front porch. The location is great! All the little details included in this cottage are lovely, from the glass door knobs to the whoopie pie balls and bottle of wine. Communication with the hosts was ideal from booking through checkout. I’m looking forward to returning to this cottage on my next trip to Maine. Sheet perfection! Thank you Tim and Dee.

Gem in Cape Porpoise
My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic vacation at Dee and Tim’s lovely little cottage. The cottage was exactly as pictured, and the location was perfect for us. It was a short walk to the water, where we launched our kayaks and just paddled around the beautiful inlet. The cottage was clean and beautifully appointed, and was surprisingly spacious—generally the word “cozy” in a listing denotes “small” but we felt they designed the space wonderfully and it was perfect for our needs. Dee was prompt to respond to my many questions and was delightful to chat with. We loved being away from the bustle of Dock Square, but close enough that we could hop in the car and be there in minutes. Thank you so much Dee and Tim for your hospitality! We will definitely be back to this gem. 💙

Summertime bliss
This was the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The kitchen was well equipped with quality items to make full meals. The whole place felt clean and airy. The house is surrounded by a beautiful yard so it’s a great view out of every window. It’s a short neighborhood walk to the water and near restaurants and shops. The host was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The driveway was big enough for our large suv. Our toddler had plenty of room to run around and play indoor and outdoor. The location and house was a good home base for exploring.

Comfy & Cozy
We loved staying at this cute little cottage perfect for two. It was clean, well equipped and in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood within a 2 minute walk down to the water's edge. Stopped in at Bradbury Brothers Market to pick up a few items. Took pictures of the famous fish houses on stilts on Langford Road and saw a JCREW photo shoot going on there. We had an upscale dinner at Ultramar on Pier Road. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Four Days
We loved our stay at the cottage. This rental is located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise. I was pleasantly surprised to find we had peek ocean views from the property and that access to water was just a little stroll down the lane. Such a charming location and lovely cottage. We hope to come back some day soon.

Perfect cottage
This cottage was the perfect size for the two of us and was found very clean and ready to go for our stay. Communications with Dee was great... we were able to text back and forth and she very nicely checked on us after a few days to see if we had any issues or questions. The cottage is in a private community and while there are several houses nearby, this is a very quiet neighborhood. There was construction on a new house next door, but that did not cause any issues for us. We enjoyed waving "hello" to the Goat Island Lighthouse each time we drove into the neighborhood as it could be seen coming down the hill toward the cottage. It was located close to amenities in Cape Porpoise and an easy drive into Kennebunkport.

Paradise in Kennebunkport, Maine
This property is absolutely outstanding! Beautifully decorated and maintained, close to everything you need, quiet, and cozy. The owners, Dee and Tim, have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and fun as possible. From the dishes to the pots and pans, to the extremely comfortable bedding, I would rate everything a TEN! When I first arrived, I thought to myself, "if there were just a firepit, everything would be perfect", and sure enough.....inside the outdoor shed, there was a solo stove firepit. They even provided wood and matches! We enjoyed this property and Kennebunkport very much. Dee graciously sent recommendations for restaurants and activities, in which we were able to enjoy some of. Goose Rocks Beach was beautiful and serene. We fished on the Liberti Rose with Captain Bruce (from Wicked Tuna show), and had a blast! The weather couldn't have been any nicer throughout our stay. If you're looking for a perfect week in a perfect home, this is your place! We will definitely return!

The cottage was adorable and so clean. Dee and Tim left a sweet welcome for us. They thought of everything to ensure guests enjoy their stay - beach chairs and bicycles were so great to have. We enjoyed sitting on the shady front porch and drinking our morning coffee. The view at the end of the street is beautiful. I can’t wait to return.

Maine cottage
Perfect in every way EXCEPT for the fact that there was a house being built about 20 feet away- neighborhood with very small lots- so we were subjected to construction activity and noise the whole time we were there. We were given no warning about the situation. The owner, I will say, was very gracious and apologetic- offering to compensate us in some way for the situation.

Great listing met or exceeded expectations
I reiterate everything already mentioned about this property, with this being the perfect bungalow getaway for an adult couple and thoughtful gift by owners on arrival. Very responsive owners (and Dionne was so patient when we were not as responsive just prior to check-in due to some work challenges). The available bikes were perfect for our needs, and when we discovered the tires needed a little air, Tim came by during an intense storm to ensure they were ready for riding the next day. One other big bonus; when same storm knocked out power overnight, the generator for this property kicked in right away. Would definitely love to come back.
