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.
The interior is perfect for families and gatherings. 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. The spaces are bright and sun washed to take total advantage of the beautiful views of the changing tides and wildlife.
The second floor has 3 bedrooms, all with a view to the water, two full baths, as well as a large sitting area with a desk.
There isa full game room on the lower basement level, with a LIFE SIZE Scrabble board, Flat Screen TV, Darts, Board Games, WII and XBOX 360, and corn hole.
Also included is an outdoor gas grill, wireless internet and 4 Smart TV’s .
We provide beach parking passes to all the Kennebunk beaches including Gooches and Mothers beaches. 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. Bean's flagship store in Freeport is the perfect way to spend a rainy day.
The area offers a wealth of outdoor activities including surfing and paddle boarding. Lessons are offered by local companies. There are several outdoor tour companies that offer group and weekly rates. You can also rent a small boat to fish for the abundant coastal stripers. There are areas known for surf casting offering quiet solitude. A 3 hour excursion on the local sailing schooner is a fun way to take in the views from the water and they offer a beautiful sunset cruise as well.
For the dedicated exercise enthusiast there is early morning bootcamp and yoga offered outdoors on the Kennebunk beaches. There are several fitness facilities close by and a brand new spinning and yoga studio a short walk away in lower village.

Wow! Second year at this beautiful, spacious property for our Annual Family Kickoff. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, plenty of room in the dining area for sit down meals. Great conversations by the fireplace in the den. Watching the sunrise over the river in the mornings. Spent all Saturday (snowed) relaxing, soaking in bath, unwinding in steam shower, reading, playing with grandkids, and taking in the view. Spectacular! All the Fam loves the River House wanting to host ALL our Family Kickoffs here. Much appreciated the added queen sofa bed! Love having rooms to sit with all and space to venture off. In gratitude for welcome note and items, St Jean Clan
We had a family of 12, including lots of teens and a baby. This property was amazing! The views and accommodations were top notch. Very clean, spacious and welcoming! We actually were moved to this property last minute when our original rental had a foul odor noticed by the cleaning crew before we arrived. Kudos to this company for contacting us and working through options to move us. We were in a bit of a panic and stressed but it could not have turned out better!! We really want to come back a different time of year to experience the kayaks and river life and enjoy the property more!
Mark, We are thrilled you enjoyed your time at the River House! It truly does have so many amenities to enjoy. We hope you'll plan a return visit!
I stumbled upon this place in my search for accommodations in Maine. This place is a true gem in Kennebunk! My brother's family, parents, and my family vacationed here from July 1-6th and had the most amazing time! What doesn't the home come with is the statement to make! Beautiful property and amenities galore! Joanne the owner has kept this home in immaculate condition. Proximity to Kennebunk port and even Portland can't be beat! Hands down this is the place to book for your summer getaway in Maine! You won't be disappointed! KP Concierge was wonderful and responsive to all our questions during our stay! Thank you for making my 50th celebration special with the generous gift from Joanne. Kind regards Dipali Sahasrabudddhe & Family
Dipali, Thank you so much for leaving such a thoughtful review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed River House and hope you'll return again next year with your family!
The house is amazing and is as described. The management group was wonderful and assisted with everything from suggestions to make our family vacation enjoyable and fun to assisting with anything needed at the home. We would definitely return to this home in the future. Thank you for the hospitality.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences! We can't wait to host you again in the future!
Pristine house with tons of amenities. Our family of 5 shared with another family of five and we had a blast. Our kids loved the water crafts and bikes available. Less than a mile from downtown Kennebunkport (very bikeable). Lots of beach supplies - chairs, umbrellas, etc. The kitchen was the most well-stocked rental kitchen we've ever stayed at. Beds(rooms) were very comfortable and well-appointed. It was a great stay and would do it again! Communication with KPort was very easy and responsive. Thanks again for a great weekend!
Brandon, We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at the River House. The owner put so much thought into the amenities offered, and we are happy your family got to enjoy them! We hope to host you again in the future!
