The property is a rambling old Maine farm house on a huge piece of land. It is close enough to the beach that you can hear the breakers. It is extremely private. Only one neighbor can even bee seen and that is shielded by the vegetation.The pool is great. It was 82 degrees every day (ocean was a lot colder but it is Maine after all). We are three generation ranging from 4 to 71. With 3 baths and lots of bedrooms there was a lot of room to spread out. There is a screen porch as well as several decks to hang out on. Kitchen was well supplied with most everything you would need.This is our second year renting this property and a lot of improvements have been made. Great for a big family.
We had a wonderful time at this home; it was immaculate and well appointed. And it is so private and peaceful with wonderful views from every room. We had rented this home for an extended time during the off season 30 years ago and wanted to return to honor and remember those in our family who so enjoyed the house and who are no longer with us. So it was a small family gathering this time to recall the days when our family would enjoy lobster dinners, Bennett's Philly cheesesteak, breakfast at All Day Breakfast and time on Parson's Beach. Remembering those days, I highly recommend for your extended family. It is a special place.
Location is amazing! Very private, secluded, and a lovely walk to a very private beach. Also close to Kennebunkport and a Ogunquit. Convenient to stores as well. House was spacious. We especially enjoyed all of the outdoor space. Screened porch is a nice bonus, and the pool was enjoyed by all.
Easy access to beach . Love the heated pool. There is a house going up right next door so I would check with helen about that before booking. We only had one noisy day. Otherwise lovely stay
The house is the perfect size for a family. We had plenty of space and enjoyed the game room, heated pool and short distance to the beach. The property was beautiful (minus the construction next door). Definitely bring bug spray, due to the wet weather the mosquitos were everywhere!
Thank you Helen for sharing your house! It was a wonderful family vacation!
My family and I heartily recommend Helen’s place if:
You fancy a morning or evening walk on a beautiful, nearly-empty beach, after a short stroll down a forested lane.
You enjoy a swim in a beautiful, big, constantly-heated pool that looks over lake, field and forest as far as you can see.
You like a big, rangy, comfortable house with all the conveniences and room for a big group but intimate privacy on several decks with landscape views.
You like being just minutes from a beautiful Maine coastal town, while staying in a natural landscape so still at dawn that you can hear the birds wake up, one by one.
We like all those things and, after many years of renting summer houses, we found Helen’s place to be the most memorable.

Mixed Experience, But Appreciated Owner's ResponseI recently stayed at this property and had a mixed experience. While the place has potential and matched the description in many ways, there were a few issues that affected our stay.There were some maintenance and cleanliness concerns that made things less comfortable than expected. It wasn't anything extreme, but definitely noticeable enough to impact our experience. That said, I really appreciated how the owner handled the situation. After I brought the concerns to her attention, she responded quickly and addressed the concerns in a fair and respectful way. It’s clear she cares about guest feedback and wants to do the right thing. With a little more attention to detail, this place could be a great stay. I’d consider giving it another try in the future based on how well the owner handled things.
The house was perfect for our needs (except for the fact that it was really hot, and the house doesn't have central AC, which we knew about beforehand, so it wasn't a surprise or a disappointment). Lawrence was incredibly responsive; whenever we had a question or expressed a need (like extra towels), Andy immediately came over to solve the problem. In all my years of vacation rentals, I've never had such a responsible, responsive, gracious host. Our grandchildren spent hours and hours every day in the heated pool, which was wonderful, and the beach was very close when they wanted to jump waves. The location of the house is terrific--it's close to everything we wanted to do. It's kind of "funky," with interesting art work, and we enjoyed learning about its history. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, which we did every night except one. The winding staircase would be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, but our grandchildren (and our cat) loved it!
The home was very comfortable and plenty of space for ten adults. The pool was a huge hit as was the convenient location to shops and restaurants. The house was well stocked with everything you need, which was a nice touch. Overall, a wonderful experience with our family full of awesome memories!
This property has alot to offer a large group. Our group of 8 adults, 3 dogs and a toddler had ample room to spread out and be comfortable. The home is nicely decorated with good, sturdy furniture. When we arrived everything was spotlessly clean and ready for us. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of dishes cutlery, pots and pans. We had everything we needed. The host was quick to respond to a couple of small maintenance issues that were fixed quickly.The bedrooms were great. One had a sitting area with a slider to a veranda looking east to enjoy sunrise right from your bed. Another had a separate entrance with a small deck and lots of room. One had an en suite bath. The other rooms were located in a loft area accessed by a tricky spiral stairway, but both were comfortable and pretty.We loved the outdoor spaces! There is a nice screen porch that opens to an open deck with a Weber gas grill and to the wonderful heated pool! Since we were there early in the summer, we used the heater and enjoyed many warm swims day and night.The property is quite secluded with a bumpy dirt driveway and lots of parking. Beware of the ticks if you bring dogs. It was a 15 minute walk to Parson's Beach, a lovely morning walk. Parking is very limited there so we shuttled folks back and forth by car on beach days.. This is an old house so it is not luxurious. But it is a comfortable, clean and private place for a big group. We loved our stay.
Place was clean. Pool was awesome. Plenty of space for the 8 of us. Great communication with host! Sure, the house isn’t a new home, but it was more about our time together and being outside at the pool. We enjoyed ourselves very much. I would rent again!

Great location.
Very quiet and peaceful location. A relatively short walk to a fantastic beach. Short drive to Wells or Kennebunkport.
We had a great stay overall at a beautiful location. There were some issues with maintenance of the property that I mentioned to the owner and cleaners, and they planned to address. The pool is spectacular, and the location fantastic. The house needs some TLC, but we enjoyed our stay.
We had a very nice stay in early summer. Very nice place with a ton of different rooms. A nice older place with lots of charm and unique nooks and crannies. Owner was very responsive when we had some very small issues. Pool was nice and location was wonderful! Would definitely stay again
Really beautiful and serene setting. The pool was amazing and a HUGE hit with the kids. Really comfortable house and the beach down the street is stunning!
This is a great property especially for a large family or group of friends. We had 3 generations spread out in the large property. The pool was a real plus. We spent half our time in the ocean and half in the pool. It is very private and very scenic.
Quirky but convenient home close to Kennebunk and Kennebunkport where we enjoyed kayaking, biking and whale watching with local tour groups. Beach was beautiful and the pool provided a nice alternative to the chilly and sometimes rough ocean.
We spent a wonderful week in the house. It is in a beautiful area of Maine--within a half-mile walk or drive from the beach. Everyone enjoyed the heated pool. The kitchen was well equipped for our group of 6. We are looking forward to coming back and staying at this house again.
My wife, four adult daughters, one son-in-law, one daughter’s boyfriend, and our 4-day-old first grandchild stayed at the Blue Heron last week while in Kennebunk to attend my niece‘s wedding, which took place on the beach a mere 5-minute walk from where we were staying. The house, its amenities, gorgeous views, and proximity to the beautiful private beach made for a perfect family vacation. Helen was an extremely gracious and responsive hostess who provided many great recommendations and historical tidbits about the house. I would highly recommend staying at this property. Our family had a FANTASTIC time!
The highlight of this house is the location-It’s beautiful and close to beaches. The house is certainly different but very functional. We all agreed the beds are very comfy, having two kitchens was a treat, excellent washer dryer, dishwasher, and lots of outside spots to hang out. Helen is very easy to reach if you have questions or concerns. Some parts of house could use some TLC, but the location is a 10 plus.
Wonderful home- close to the beach- great pool too.
We had such a wonderful time at this house- very large enough for our party of 8 and has a great funky vibe. The pool is so relaxing, there are at least 5 separate decks to catch the sun and it is a short drive (with your own parking space) to a very private beach. Parsons beach is truly one of a kind- never crowded, very wide, especially at low tide, and quite enjoyable. We had the quintessential Maine experience with lobster rolls and enjoyed the quaint Kennebunkport town. We would definitely return as Helen was the perfect host. Thank you for a truly enjoyable vacation!!
When driving there we came in the back way and found the front way later. Walking into the house was the stairway going upstairs. the kids loved it so they had the 2 rooms and and bath.
the rest of the house was delightful and cozy and loved the view and the pool and the beach was not what we from the south are used to but it was relaxing. I reccomend this house for large families..
We had an amazing time. Communication with the owner couldn’t have been better. The house was spacious and spread out which was perfect for our teenagers. The beds were very comfortable. The pool was so refreshing and at perfect temperatures every day thanks to the heater. The views from the property were so pretty and having the private beach close by was convenient for morning and evening walks. The house is less than 10 minutes from town which was perfect. We would definitely rent again!
