600' of Waterfront Chauncey Creek House, fenced yard, office, walk to the beach
About this house rental
Located in Kittery, this lovely house for $375 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Private and quiet, with room to roam, the Chauncey Creek House is a very special place for all to gather, anytime of the year. The house rests on 600 ft of waterfront on Chauncey Creek, a tidal waterway between Gerrish Island and the mainland. Nearly two acres of property provide room for water access (from our pier), interesting wildlife, and a fire pit with plenty of chairs to relax around the fire. There is a fenced yard for your pet. Walk the beautiful terrain and safely enjoy a stroll to the beach along Tower Road, a private, low-traffic road in this rural, residential neighborhood. The Chauncey Creek House has deeded access to Crescent Beach, just a 5-minute walk. From Crescent, it is only another 5-10 minutes along the beach to popular Seapoint Beach. The property borders (across the water) the neighboring Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, and the only residential neighbor is across the street on the landward side of the house. Miles and miles of wooded hikes are available; map provided. A total of 6 guests can sleep and enjoy the Chauncey Creek House. The three bedrooms are upstairs (two twin beds in one bedroom and a queen bed in 2nd bedroom and a king in the largest bedroom). The largest bedroom features a sitting area by the window. There are 1¾ baths: one full bathroom upstairs with a vanity sink, beautiful claw foot bath tub with high-end fixtures, and toilet. This bathroom upstairs has two doors- one off the largest bedroom and the other off the hallway. The downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower with high-end fixtures, sink and toilet. All rooms have new windows, the downstairs water side has huge bay windows. These multiple windows, doorways and screen-porches allow excellent circulation of sea breeze off the Atlantic from Crescent Beach (about 2000 feet away across the salt marsh) or northwest winds off the abutting Creek. There are two AC units for the waterside bedrooms. Downstairs features a large living room with fireplace, in a separate room is a private office with desk/chair/printer set up and a couch. The dining room /kitchen area features large windows and a bar. As noted, there is a screened-in porch on the eastern (ocean-side) end of the house equipped with a small dining table with access to the propane-fired Weber grill. and fenced in back yard. An additional porch, open to the afternoon sun, is located off the northwest side of the house picking up the NW wind and lovely views of the sunset and the fire pit. There is rustic arbor with chairs on the point that is lovely for watching the kingfishers, osprey, and other birds feed. The continuous rise and fall of the tide make for an evolving environment to watch. Children are welcomed guests. We have a playpen, gate, and high seats for your convenience. We have limited fishing supplies and a crab trap. The walk-out basement is equipped with a ping pong table, picnic supplies and yard and board games. It also has a water view. The home provides a large grassy fenced in lawn for your pet and another for the garden. The 2,500 sq. ft home welcomes guests with warm, colorful walls, hardwood and soft pine floors and inviting comfortable furniture. The home is a modified cape house, with serene views of the tidal water and National Wildlife Refuge and access to over 600 feet of water front and pier. From each room, large windows offer views of the large pine and oak trees, high-bush (and low) blueberries, small maple trees, sea grass. and the quiet waterfront beyond. This is a property that friends and family frequent, so guests will find all the necessary conveniences of home like cookware, utensils, spices, oils and serving bowls and trays to present any small or large meal. There are typically basic condiments left in the refrigerator. The kitchen's large, open floor plan accommodates those that find themselves gathering in the kitchen, awaiting the next delicious meal. The large bay windows allow guests to catch sightings of wildlife and watch the ebb of flow of the creek's tide, just steps away. The chairs under the wisteria vine on the point are perfect for coffee or a glass of wine. You will have plenty of options on where to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Picturesque Kittery Point is part of Kittery, Maine's oldest and southernmost town. Adjacent to York, it retains the unspoiled charm of a historic fishing village. Kittery has many lovely restaurants. There is plenty of scenery from any directions when traveling to Chauncey Creek House, along Maine Route 103 and US HWY 1A. It’s a pretty drive that winds past coastal cottages, salt marshes and forested properties. The rock fences and classic New England homes and historic buildings line the road, as it curves and edges past the water, with views of bobbing lobster boats anchored in the harbor. Fort Foster, a lovely Town park (minimal entry fee) is located at the opposite end of Gerrish Island, less than five minutes by car, ten by bicycle (not provided), and 20-25 by foot with some lovely path options through the center of the island. The park provides great picnicking, waterfront walking paths, swimming access, and great views of Portsmouth Harbor and Pepperell Cove, Kittery Point. Other great hiking is available in the Wildlife Refuge and at other accessible trails shown on the guest’s arrival data. Guests are welcome to use the two kayaks, one canoe and row boat that are near the pier or bring boats. The property has a private dock and float. Launch from either the salt marsh or the dock, depending on the tide. However, there is not a launch for boat trailers on the property. Keep in mind that the tide comes and goes twice each day for anywhere from 8-11 feet. Fishing is also popular on the creek.

Great location and home for a family. Very clean with everything you needed and more. The owner/manager was very responsive to any questions. The views of Chauncey creek from the home were great and you felt like you had the whole area to yourself. Short walk to explore the beaches and tide pools. Canoes and fishing available to guests and fun things to do with the family inside the home as well.

Wonderful stay at the house. Everything we could possibly need was there and the area was quiet and lovely, right down to the resident family of turkeys that paraded through the backyard every day. Would not hesitate to recommend and hope to return some day.

This was our second stay here and was as much a pleasure as our first. The house is clean and well appointed with anything you could want. Beautiful hiking and kayaking right off the very private water front as well as fine dining near by and a fun lobster outdoor lobster pound to bring your own wine with lobster dinner served right on the water. Highly recommend this inviting home and all it has to offer,

This is a very special location and house. It is perfect as a family or friends gathering place. The location is spectacular. The house overlooks an inlet from the sea with forest and a wealth of wildlife. It is beautiful and peaceful. The back yard is on the water with seating areas, a firepit and a table with chairs. There are also kayaks and a canoe.
The house is lovely, spacious, well equipped, very clean and comfortable. We loved the views and the ease of getting into Kittery and Portsmouth. There is so much to explore in the area with easy access from the house. There were so many places to check out near by we couldn't fit them all in within our week there.
The local restaurants were great and there are many shopping areas of interest. The property manager answered all our questions with kindness and efficiency. She went beyond expectations to make us comfortable and informed. We had a relaxing and restorative vacation and would love to return. I highly recommend this rare gem of a rental.

It was an absolutely wonderful week at David’s and Lucy’s Chauncey Creek House. It easily exceeded expectations. It is beautiful and private, clean, cozy, and had everything. Morning coffee at the waters edge, on the dock, or on the screened in porch, long walks to and along the beaches, kayaking in the afternoon… if not for wanting to try some new restaurants and return to familiar ones, we had no reason to leave the property. If either of us cooked, we might not have. We honestly cannot say enough good things about David’s and Lucy’s and cannot wait to return next year.

The property was wonderful, from the cleanliness of the home to the comfort of the furnishings and grounds. The views of Chauncey Creek were beautiful. We didn't get a chance to use the kayaks, but hopefully we can return next summer and enjoy that. We did most of our cooking at the house. The refrigerator had ample room for our groceries, and the gas stove and grill were great, too. The location of the property was ideal as well, with Fort Foster down the street and the outlet stores and many restaurants just a short distance away. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful location
The location of this rental was perfect- close to town, yet on the creek. We enjoyed watching the changing tides and appreciated the dock and rocks to fish from. The house had everything we needed for our stay, and was a great vacation rental for our family. The owners were also very responsive to a couple questions we had.

This was perfect for my husband and me, our adult daughter and our navy son, who took the week off from Kittery base to be with us, and our dog. Walks and drives to beach daily, dining, shopping, but mostly just enjoying the view (tidal pool fascinating to this Great Lakes family). We cooked almost every dinner, and kitchen well equipped. Beds very comfortable, enough seating for everyone, and played games provided along with many card games. Being an owner of a weekly vacation rental, this one is perfectly laid out and equipped, which does take a lot of work and planning.
It was a little cool our time of year to use the screened porch and deck, but we did enjoy the yard out by the water. Our dog (and we) appreciated the fenced in yard for our convenience.
Couldn't ask for a better, more beautiful setting for this property. Convenient to shopping but quiet and secluded. We will be back if son stays in Kittery for another year.

What an absolutely lovely Christmas we spent here on Chauncey Creek. The house is comfortable and cozy (without being small), the views are stunning (we even had a touch of snow!), and the area is great for walking (our dog loved it as well). The location is also terrific — you are tucked away in nature and peace, but a grocery store with everything we needed for a full holiday meal was just 15 minutes away, and specialty shops in that same distance had treats and other items. Lucy was a great host, checking in with me before we arrived to ensure that all was well, and even leaving a few fun holiday items to incorporate into our festive table setting. Truly, a house that can be enjoyed in all seasons. We are so happy to have found it and highly recommend!

Enjoyed the home and area
Came up from Florida with my family to enjoy the cold weather and start a fire. The property was more than expected. Watched the water ebb and flow behind the house. Enjoyed listening to the ducks. The beach was amazing and different than Florida. Went on daily road trips to Portsmith, Portland and Boston. Can't wait to do it again.

Wonderful Thanksgiving with family
This is the second time I have stayed here with my family for Thanksgiving and I love this house. It is beautiful, the view of the lake is stunning. I am a cook and love that I really don’t have to bring anything there is a fully stocked gourmet kitchen. Had a little drama my dog ran away but all worked out. I have to say dealing with Lucy is a pleasure she is very helpful. If you stay here I can promise you will love it!!!
