    What's special

    Curated furnishingsTimeless beach cottage aestheticPrivate decksDesigner lightingCustom cabinetryCarefully selected artworkBeautifully appointed three-bedroom cottages
    Just moments from the white sands of Mother's Beach, this exceptional coastal compound offers a rare opportunity to own two beautifully appointed three-bedroom cottages in one of Kennebunk's most desirable seaside neighborhoods. Currently operating as highly successful short-term rentals with a loyal base of returning guests, the property is equally suited as an investment, multigenerational retreat, or private coastal escape. Thoughtfully renovated and impeccably curated, both residences feature custom cabinetry, designer lighting, premium appliances, curated furnishings, and carefully selected artwork. Inspired by classic yacht design, every detail has been intentionally considered, creating interiors that feel refined, functional, and effortlessly coastal. Fairview welcomes guests into a light-filled living room that flows into an inviting eat-in kitchen with open shelving. Three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, including a king-sized primary suite, concealed laundry, and a palette of crisp whites and soft blues create a timeless beach cottage aesthetic. Privately positioned, Seabreeze offers its own entrance, deck, and outdoor living space. The bright eat-in kitchen opens to a welcoming living room, while three well-appointed bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, provide comfortable accommodations. A generous bath and integrated laundry complete the home. Outside, private decks and Adirondack chairs invite relaxed summer afternoons after a day at the beach. Just minutes from Dock Square's acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, this turnkey property offers exceptional rental history, outstanding guest reviews, and financials available upon request.
