*Please note that the neighbors live on site, in a completely separate unit, and may be present during your stay* Drop your bags at the door and walk out to the private beach the moment you arrive at your Kennebunk vacation rental cottage. The 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage boasts an expansive porch and direct on-site access to a private slice of the Atlantic Ocean. Grab a boogie board and hit the waves, cook a delicious dinner on the charcoal grill and laze away the days in your piece of paradise. -- THE PROPERTY -- Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: 2 Twin Beds | Bedroom 3: Twin Bed | Bedroom 4: 2 Twin Beds | Bedroom 5: Twin Bed Begin each morning on the spacious porch watching the sun rise over the water as you sip your morning coffee. Bring your favorite book and read on the padded wicker furniture as you let relaxation wash over you. When you get hungry, head into the well-equipped kitchen to prepare a breakfast feast. Open shelves hold plenty of cooking supplies and provide storage for any of your needs. Pull up a chair at the wooden dining table overlooking the ocean to enjoy your meals together. Stop by the bathhouse to grab beach towels, chairs and boogie boards on your way down to the beach. The built-in shelves in the cottage are stocked with great beach reads for you to enjoy beside the water. Fire up the charcoal grill and barbecue outside to top off each day at the shore. When the food's ready, fill your plates and step out to the massive porch to dine at one of the tables or in the screened-in porch. As the sun begins to set, retreat indoors and cozy up in front of the wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace and a baseboard heating unit ensure you stay nice and toasty on cooler evenings. Once eyes grow heavy, head into one of the bedrooms and crawl into the cloud-like bed to rest as the sound of the waves crashing on the shore lulls you to sleep. -- THE LOCATION -- A wide array of delightful shoreside activities await nearby in the rolling hills and historic streets of Kennebunk. The Brick Store Museum and Lower Village offer small-town New England charm in spades just a shuttle's stop from the beaches. Pick up some local produce at the Kennebunk Farmers' Market, open every Saturday, and bring back your finds to cook delicious seasonal meals. Connect with nature and see native wildlife in the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, which protects a unique ecosystem of dunes, salt marshes, rocky coast and forest. The refuge is ideal for birding, hunting, fishing and canoeing. The nearby town of Kennebunkport rests just over 3 miles up the coast. There, you can shop the boutiques, tour Ocean Avenue for its sweeping vistas and sample delectable seafood. Experienced cyclists and hikers will love exploring the 65-mile Eastern Trail which spans quiet country roads from Casco Bay to the Piscataqua River in Kittery. Kennebunk is set just 90 miles north of Boston and 25 miles south of Portland, so you can take day trips to the two bustling cities with ease. -- REST EASY WITH EVOLVE -- Evolve makes it easy to find and book properties you’ll never want to leave.
