About this property

SeaBiscuit-Ocean Views, Fabulous Deck & Great Room, Walk to Beach, CHARMING!

SeaBiscuit is located in what many people refer to as the most extraordinary neighborhood in Kennebunkport. One block off of Ocean Avenue, 2-3 blocks to Walker's Point, President & Mrs. Bush's home , and is surrounded by multimillion dollar homes. There are ocean views from the large, sunny deck and you are able to listen to the ocean crashing on the rocky Maine shore at night. SeaBiscuit is fully winterized and because it is south facing, it is drenched in year round sunlight.

The heart of this wonderful home, the Great Room, has high, beamed ceilings, a super stone fireplace, large flat screen TV, large sectional sofa and Ralph Lauren easy chairs for real relaxation time. Beautifully furnished indoors and out, with superb outdoor deck furniture, the environment is pet and family friendly and has a terrific back yard for play.

The first floor also features a family friendly dining area off the Great Room with gorgeous teak dining table for 8, fully outfitted kitchen, sunny & spectacular living room with Ralph Lauren sofa (perfect for chatting and reading), a big playroom for the kids/young adults with their own flat screen tv as well as play/dining tables, and a beautiful powder room with exquisite marble. There is extra dining in the playroom which will accommodate at least four more adults and kids.

The second floor features an extra large master bedroom with lovely four poster bed and bath with shower, along with two other family bedrooms with queen sized beds & antique headboards, a fourth bedroom with full sized bed with antique iron headboard, and bath with tub & shower. The master bedroom, as well as the large front bedroom are both spacious enough to easily accommodate a portable crib if necessary. We have a pak n play. The full size washer & dryer are located on the second floor.

The amazing part of this classic colonial is that it has a full third floor with two large bedrooms- one with queen sized bed, the other with 2 full sized beds, and bath. Kids love to hang out here!

Quite simply, the neighborhood is fantastic! Made for running & walking on Ocean Avenue and biking, the Colony Hotel and Beach is just two blocks away, as well as the Breakwater Inn & Spa, The Nonantum, Inn & Restaurant, Edge Water Inn, Mabel's Restaurant, St. Anne's Church and the newly refurbished Cape Arundel Inn & Restaurant There are so many restaurants within walking distance that you just may not cook your entire stay. We always walk to the art and crafts fairs at the River Club and the Silas Perkins Park every summer. Dock Square is also within walking distance, approximately 1 1/2 miles.

Our home isn't a 'stripped down' rental; it is our beloved 'SeaBiscuit' and it is charming! We have a terrific deck where everyone hangs out. It has white wicker furniture with free standing umbrella, a large octagonal picnic table with umbrella, a gas grill and a child gate. The backyard is just right for kids. We are children and dog lovers and welcome them!

Cozy New England Home in Great Location

We took an extended family trip this summer and had people ranging from age 1-70. The house has plenty of sitting space - including a kids “playroom” that was a huge hit. The deck has a lovely view of the ocean and there’s a nice grassy backyard to play in. Great location walkable to Colony Beach and a short drive into town. We loved our stay and would definitely rent again!

Great family vacation

We loved our time at Seabiscuit. We were a group of 6 adults, one kid, and one baby. The home was very spacious and plenty of room for all of us. We loved the separate kid area for arts / crafts as well as the deck. The bedrooms are spacious. The neighborhood was perfect. Central and quiet.

Great house in a beautiful location in Kennebunkport

This house was perfect for a family reunion of 6 adults and 4 kids. Beautiful spacious main floor and comfortable bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The kitchen was well equipped: lobster crackers for a dinner with 8 lobsters. Thoughtful supplies including beach chairs and beach toys. A great backyard for the kids to run around in. Great quiet neighborhood just down the street from the Bush compound.

Wonderful Stay

We are an extended family who has been spending summers in Kennebunkport for over forty years. Sea Biscuit is a wonderful, well appointed, home that easily accommodates a large group comfortably. The porch has a lovely ocean view and is fabulous for early morning coffee and evening cocktails.

Kennebunkport Comfort and Luxury

I rented this property for my family of 5 adults and two children. We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and has been updated. There is a comfortable open floor plan and is well stocked with amenities. Its prime location is just a short walk to the ocean front and is a short drive to the shops and restaurants in the Port. The bedroom layout was perfect for my group. My son and his wife used the two bedrooms and one bath on the top floor as a suite for their family (the two of them plus their two daughters ages 6 and 3 1/2). My husband and I used the master bedroom which has a full bath and my daughter chose one of the other bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Her bath was roomy and there was a full size w/d off the bath. There are two more bedrooms on the 2nd floor so the house can sleep 2-4 more people. I couldn't have been more pleased with the location and condition of the property. The owner kept in contact with me leading up to my stay to make sure everything with the rental went smoothly. I can highly recommend her as a host and the property as a rental.

A KPT gem, best neighborhood..

Great Framily stay at Seabiscuit, owners and property manager were all attentive, kind and really emphasized sharing this home for others to enjoy and be comfortable. Older home but all the Kennebunkport characteristics if you really appreciate this town, history as we do. The playroom/kids room was a saving grace for school work, reading time, dinner time and play. Deck was amazing and enjoyable although we were rained out most of the days it made for greater appreciation once we could utilize it.

Good location, bad communication

This house is in a great location with plenty of space. However, it is in a neighborhood where (apparently) the power frequently goes out. Around 9:45PM, we lost all electricity. The other houses in the neighborhood have a generator but this one does not. I was not able to get in touch with the owner of the home. Finally, I was able to get in touch with the property manager, but the property manager did not know anything about the electric company and was unable to help. I left the owner a number of messages but never heard back throughout the duration of our stay (which was multiple days). The power ultimately came back after midnight and after we had to call the police station to find the electricity company and report the outage. I understand that some things like losing power are out of owner's control, but I should have received a response back at any point throughout the long weekend.

Great location, nice property

We really enjoyed our stay at the Seabiscuit. It was a large family vacation and the house provided ample room for everyone, plus a nice outside deck and backyard for the kids. The house was clean and very well stocked. And the location was fantastic; right near the Bush compound with ocean views and not a far walk from the beach. It was easy to reach the owner and house manager as well. The house could use a few small updates, but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

Lovely house in great location

The house is lovely, and the host was very accessible and answered all of our questions promptly. We went on many long walks along the rocky coastline, and the nearest beach was only a 10 minute walk away. We could not easily walk to the village center, but that turned out to be for the best since there was often a lot of traffic in that area and we would not have wanted to stay too close to there. Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely stay at this house again.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Seabiscuit is a bright charming house in a beautiful location. We spent a week with our children and grandchildren in this beautiful and spacious home. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable. There is plenty of room to sit in a quiet corner to read or be together in the large family room The playroom was a hit with our grandchidren! The property owner Mary Ann was lovely and a pleasure to work with. My family and I all agree this was the perfect place to enjoy a much needed family vacation.

Wonderful home for a family vacation In Kennebunkport near the ocean!

Our family consisted of 4 generations and we were in Kennebunkport to celebrate 2 family birthdays and the start of summer. Seabiscuit was a charming and spacious home with a beautiful deck where you can see and hear the ocean ... there were lots of bedrooms including a small one off the master bedroom that we used more like a den. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking and serving meals and there were cleaners and paper goods galore. Our whole group enjoyed walking to the rocky beaches and Walker’s Point where the Bush family compound is and St. Ann’s church by the sea. We ate several times at the Colony Hotel outside by the pool and loved it there! We usually drove to Dock Square but you can walk if you’re active. The neighborhood was quiet with beautiful homes and gardens ... we saw George Bush and his motorcade on Sunday morning, which was pretty cool! Beyond the beautiful but casual home (which is kid and pet friendly), we loved the Kennebunks and surrounding area. i It sort of feels like you’re going back to a gentler time there. The owner and house manager were a pleasure to deal with and we couldn’t have been happier to have chosen this lovely home for our annual family vacation, We enjoyed meals out at the Boathouse and Hurricane restaurants ... Maine Art Hill has nice galleries to wander through and just walking or driving along Ocean Avenue was a pleasure! Highly recommend this home for families and our Boston Terrier enjoyed it, too!

Why they chose this property

My husband's family has been coming to Kennebunkport for over 40 years. There is something about this area that does get into your soul! We wanted a home between The Colony Hotel and Walker's Point, President & Mrs. Bush's home, because this neighborhood is the best of everything-fabulous homes, not too busy, great for relaxing and star gazing and ocean views!

What makes this property unique

The Great Room in SeaBiscuit and the outdoor deck are absolutely amazing and we are crazy about this house in this neighborhood.
