10/10 Excellent
"This home offers many amenities to make you feel that you are truly on vacation! The kitchen is well equipped, clean and organized. The bedrooms and bathrooms have fresh linens, towels and splits to adjust to your individual comfort. The view is mesmerizing and peaceful, as you gaze out at songbirds, ducks, geese and the occasional blue heron. It is a short walk to pristine Fortunes Rocks beach with a 2 mile round trip stroll or great waves to ride. The town of Biddeford or Kennebunkport are a short and pleasant ride on Rt 9. You will love it !"

Boathouse Apartment at Fortunes Rocks, 100 feet from the beach.

10/10 Excellent
"My family of 5, all adults at this point, stayed for a week at the Boathouse. The views from the house are amazing!! And there’s usually a wonderful breeze that blows on the covered porch. They had everything we needed to make dinners at home, and there was enough room for us to play games together at both the kitchen table and in the living room. I will say the kitchen table in the alcove is a little tight, but we made it work. We loved our stay and hope to go back."

"This property is beautiful, quiet, and wonderfully private. The house itself has a lot of unique charm, but given the high price point, we felt it was lacking some interior amenities. We had never had a host meet to check us in before, and then received communications almost everyday during our stay which felt a little intrusive. It’s overall a lovely setting and great location."
