Gorgeous River View Walk to Kennebunkport & Beach/ Relax by Fireplace
A Southern Maine River Front Experience.
Winding down a secluded private drive is this unique home beautifully sited on the Kennebunk River, named the River House. The home is surrounded by 750’ of tidal River frontage with views from almost every room. The private dock looks across the River to the famous Cape Arundel Golf Course (public can play after 2pm). Enjoy swimming or fishing off the private dock. The dock is also able to accommodate up to a 14 foot power boat for cruising up and down the river or heading out into the channel that empties into the Atlantic Ocean less than a mile up river. We offer 3 kayaks, a canoe, and 3 SUPs for River exploring and 8 bicycles for a ride to the beach or around town. The fully landscaped yard has many private spaces to enjoy. Relax on the porch rockers, chaise lounge chairs located on two stone patios, or the hammock.Take a turn on the good old fashioned tire swing which brings out the kid in all of us.Alternatively, you canunwind at thetwo fire pits. Best yet, no matter what you choose, you'll beoverlooking the River.

There is alarge gourmet kitchen with a fireplace and a large butlers pantry boasting a second set of appliances including an oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. The dining room has a large farm table that can seat 10+. The family room is over-sized and great for lounging and opens through french glass doors to the living room that has a gas fireplace. The master bedroom suite and 1st floor guest room, each with full bath, is on the first floor overlooking the water affording stunning views of the sunrise to start the day.

This house is also the perfect starting point for biking trips to Cape Porpoise pier, Goose Rocks beach, Biddeford Pool, Kennebunkport, and the Kennebunk beaches. Our location is perfect for biking to town or to venture out to the more rural areas. A bike ride on Ocean Ave to Walkers Point, the summer home of President George Bush, is a local favorite.
Kennebunkport affords excellent shopping, world class restaurants, museums and charming coffee shops and wine bars and craft breweries. The Kittery outlets, the city of Portland ME , and Portsmouth NH are only a short 30 minute drive. A 45 minute drive to the L.L.

Summary: We were a group of six friends who have known each other for over 30 years. We wanted a cozy place to hang out, cook delicious food and relax. The house was perfect. The kitchen is so fully stocked with tools and equipment, it made our cooking adventures fun. While the outside areas looked wonderful? It was a bit too chilly for us to enjoy. The grounds were beautifully groomed. All beds were comfortable, and bathrooms fully stocked with whatever you may need. The host is easy to contact and getting in was simple. Ample parking. Just a lovely retreat for a bunch of old ladies who wanted to share each other's company in a comfortable space. Highly recommend.

Summary: Wow! We’ve stayed at a variety of homes through VRBO, and this was by far the most beautiful! Attention to detail, cleanliness, hominess , and warmth of the home were above and beyond. It’s clear that this is a family home owned by people who value family and togetherness.The house itself is incredibly beautiful, incredible architectural details, impact appointed, clean, thoughtful details throughout for their guests. We will definitely return. Highly rrecommend!

Summary: Annual "Brother's Weekend" with my three brothers and their wives. This was a fantastic location and a wonderful home. We were disappointed that there was not a hot-tub (as advertised).... only a jetted single person tub in master bath. Also, the bed situation is not ideal for older folks. The second queen is a Murphy bed that is mostly open to the master but for pocket doors. Ultimately not deal breakers but definitely different than anticipated from the advertisement. The living area(s) are spectacular and comfortable. Plenty of room for the 8 of us.

Summary: We are still on a happy high from our family vacation and time spent at JoAnn's stunning home. There was no detail overlooked and the house had every single amenity we could have hoped for. The property and home is just beautiful. The bulters pantry itself is a dream while every other part of the home from design to comfort to the dahlias left throughout from the home garden upon arrival was everything we wanted and beyond. The patio was the perfect spot for morning coffee and we also spent afternoons on the dock, enjoying the Fall afternoons. We cannot think of anything more we would or could of wanted to make this an ideal stay for our family. JoAnn was the sweetest host and made sure we had the most special and memorable vacation. We look forward to planning our return next year and staying at this gorgeous home and property again. Thank you, JoAnn!

Summary: What a GORGEOUS home! We had such a lovely stay in this beautiful waterfront home. 10 of us stayed very comfortably in the home for a family wedding—there was plenty of space & privacy for all of us. Although we weren’t able to use them, they provided such fun “extras”…several kayaks & bikes. We did have fun playing games in the basement. They have tons of games for all ages! I would highly recommend this home & it was in a PERFECT location. Also, communication with the owner was seamless & prompt!

Summary: The River House in Kennebunk Port was absolutely incredible. Our family stayed here for 2 nights on a family vacation and we wish we could have stayed much longer! The house is beautiful, with more than enough space indoors and outdoors to enjoy your family and friends. The house to clean to perfection, and so homey and cozy. We will recommend this house to friends visiting the area, and hope to return back on another family vacation!
