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!

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.
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.

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
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.
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!

Great property for a family vacation.
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.
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.
Great place. Short walk to beach. 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.
Big, comfortable house with plenty of room for a large group. Not too far from a wonderful clean beach and lots of other area activities. Great communication with owner. Fun family vacation!

Encore visit!
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.
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.

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.

House in disrepair. Safety issues. Windows nailed shut, missing screens, broken screens, unstable entry way to the house and pool, only 3 A/C for a 5 bedroom (can't open windows). One ceiling fan broken and one missing. Kitchen poorly stocked, very little kitchen utensils, Screen doors were duck taped. Pool railing unstable. Really hot the week we stayed and very stressful with young children. We would have left but we had family and friends fly in for the vacation. Had we not, we would have left The pool it self was wonderful. The physical property it self was nice. Deer eating on the property at evening.The parking pass to the town beach was great. Wonderful town breach
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!
