About this house rental

PRIVATE BEACH only moments from this enchanting home, privately located on the
end of the road and on Gerrish Island in beautiful Kittery Point, Maine!

Just one hour and 15 minutes from downtown Boston, and yet the perfect quintessential Maine getaway!

Stay in this FABULOUS 5600 sq ft custom built home with marble & granite stonework, maple/cherry/red oak woodwork flooring, inspired by 19th century American Gothic, and be only moments from a PRIVATE BEACH and HIKING TRAILS. Divulge in the serenity of this Maine post and beam construction, giving the feel of a chalet.
Includes completely separate guest house connected by an enclosed walkway to the main house with a laundry area and mudroom, so multiple families can have privacy. Guest house's main floor includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with living room, kitchen and a beautifully constructed spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor, a loft.
The main house has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. A large open concept living room & dining room, wood stove and a kitchen with a half bath on the main floor, 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor (Ocean views) with a walk in shower & bath, and a walk out deck. Master suite is entire 3rd floor, with a wood burning fireplace, balconies, OCEAN VIEWS and full bath with shower/tub. All new memory foam mattresses throughout! GORGEOUS eat-in kitchen has stainless steel appliances with 2 refrigerators, dual Viking oven, 6 burner range & grill, and a pantry. Nicely furnished with complimentary retro stereo from yester-year set up in the living/dining area for listening to old records and playing games.
This home is equal distance between the historic towns of York, Maine and Portsmouth, NH, each is only about 5-6 miles away, and of course near the famous Kittery Outlets, one of many wonderful things to do! Deeded private access to a rocky beach facing the open Atlantic Ocean, only 300 yards away and with the most beautiful views, great for enjoying a picnic. Homestead ruins, from an old 17th century home including a granite lined well, are still located on the property, so bring your metal detector!

The property is extremely private, located at the end of the island road on over 6 acres. Great for walking and biking with many trails near by for hiking and cross country skiing! We are on the same island as the historic Fort Foster. Always voted one of the top beaches in New England and includes a playground and historical fort. Bike or drive to Fort Foster located on the other side of the island, or bike or walk to Crescent Beach, only 6/10 mile and less than a 10 minute walk through this wonderful neighborhood. This sandy extremely quiet beach is private to the neighborhood and connects to Seapoint Beach.

You may also drive to SeaPoint, about a 2 mile trip in the car, just off Gerrish Island.

Ocean views from all levels of the house.

This is a lovely quiet neighborhood on the Maine coast.Great house with plenty of room. We used the kitchen in the main house, but the kitchen in the guest house also seems excellent. The rocky beach is a short walk away and the swimming beach is only about a 10-minute walk or short bike ride. The couches in the living room are great for reading/napping.We found the tools we needed in the kitchen, though it's not always easy to find them -- keep looking!The grill is also great -- we grilled chicken and steak very sucessfully. Do let the grill warm up for a while before you put the meat on though.

This house fit our needs, especially with space. There was room for everyone, and everyone had room to breathe. The outside spaces were great too, as they were large and everyone could fit. There were 12 of us and we were able to fit at the dining room table when we ate inside. That was very nice. We were not able to use the drinking water and the shower water did leave some material, for lack of a better word, on our skin and on some of our clothes. This did not ruin our stay, however, and I do know that the water was treated when we were there. Sometimes it just takes a few days to kick in. This is something we also encounter at home and have filters on all of our water. I cannot express how great the communication was with the owner and he even went above and beyond and sent back a mug that one of my party members had left behind. I thought that was very nice. I also cannot express the area and how beautiful it was. The water looked so clean. I included a few pictures that I took on a run.We went down to their local beach and saw the parade of dogs every day before 10 and after five when they are allowed. We met some very nice people. There were a ton of bikes and we used them almost every day. Also, there were plenty of towels and linens and two washers and two dryers.

This was our annual family vacation with grandparents, adult children and their spouses and 4 grandchildren. The house was very well equipped with lots of kitchens gadgets. We made use of the smoker, bbq, hot tub, record player, metal detector. It was nice to have all the bicycles and beach chairs. The grandkids enjoyed the toys. Tim's writeup on the house, and things to do in the area were great to have. We visited many of the places he mentioned.The house did have some cleanliness issues. Surface cleaning was good but several of the rooms had cobwebs, and needed some additional deep cleaning.Mosquitos were there so bring your bug spray.We did enjoy the area. Lots of see and do.

The location of this home is lovely and quiet. We enjoyed visiting all the nearby towns, great restaurants and lots to do. The home is not well cared for, it needs a deep cleaning and a lot of maintenance work completed. Too many things were in poor condition that i would not recommend staying here.
