Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location 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. ##### Kristie S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### allen m.

Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Coastal Maine Wonderland 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. ##### David W. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeffrey M.

Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy In general, the property met our needs well. It had a large common area that allowed for gathering with family and several additional gathering spaces. The beds were comfortable and there were plentiful linens and towels. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped and the dining area was pleasant. The kids loved the heated pool and, despite the wobbly railing leading to the shallow end, they had an amazing time. All that being said, the property is in serious need of better maintenance. From planters with dead flowers to a front porch taped off as dangerous to garbage/recycles not emptied before our visit to linens left in the dryer to front porch weather stripping pulled away to a full day not being able to use the pool as the heater had failed to function and multiple other issues, it was apparent that more care needed to be paid to the property...and if done, would have made it entirely pleasant. In addition, the advertised game room was a complete disappointment with old, incomplete games, no bocce set , corn hole targets but no bean bags and incomplete puzzles crammed into what is essentially a storage room. Also, note that despite the statement in the listing, only 3 of the 5 bedrooms have air conditioning. We also did have a bit of a run-in with Parsons Beach residents over beach access.All that being said, we did enjoy our stay and would consider renting again if we were assured that improvements had been made to the property and its on-going maintenance. ##### Debbie L.

Spent a great week at the Farm. House was the perfect setup for our extended family reunion. The pool and proximity to the beach were perfect for the kids. I would highly recommend this home for a great vacation. ##### Brian T.

Beach was beautiful and the pool provided a nice alternative to the chilly and sometimes rough ocean. ##### Susan M.

Lots of privacy and very quiet. Everything you need for a family vacation and the pool is a nice bonus. Short walk to the beach or drive down and park in your designated spot. You have Wells, Ogunquit south or Kennebunk and Kennebunkport the north you can’t go wrong. ##### Jerry R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary B.

This was a repeat visit for us and we liked it every bit as well as last time. The location is very private and peaceful and I think for us the pool makes a big difference It is awesome. The property is well appointed and provides for every need. We like the Kennebunk area very much. ##### Mary M.

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. ##### Karen W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### judy j. Aug 1, 2018 #### Beautiful setting, close to wonderful beach The family--6 adults, 2 girls--came back in July this year for another two weeks at Helen's wonderful property, which tells you how much we appreciate it. We love the heated pool, the game room with its ping pong table (which inspired a family tournament), and the proximity to Parsons Beach. It is a quiet and peaceful place but close to good restaurants and fun activities and interesting nature walks, and Helen could not be a more caring or welcoming host. ##### judy j.

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! ##### Helene and Bob H.

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. ##### Gen M.

Jun 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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!! ##### Mary P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beverly Z.

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.. ##### Beverly Z. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022
