We love staying here year after year. The location right on the ocean cannot be beat. We love the sunrises and the changing tides. The porch is the perfect spot for reading and watching the lobster boats pass by.

Fantastic property and experience!
Such a wonderful, beautiful, historic home. It was perfect for our family. One of our favorite parts was watching the tide come in and out from all the windows on the east side of the house. We loved walking out in the low tide and taking the kayaks, paddle board and row boat out during high tide. The house had everything we needed and the host was super helpful. What a spectacular place. We'd love to come back!

Absolutely beautiful!
We had such a wonderful vacation. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. The beds were all comfy and my Mom loved the "child's room" and wanted to bring it home! We were so lucky to have beautiful weather the entire time. Being able to open all the windows and have the ocean breeze come through felt great! At night seeing the moon reflect off the water was absolutely breathtaking. The sunrises just have to be seen! Walking out during low tide was such a great experience for us all. We saw lots of crabs, jellyfish, and shrimp. The kids walked all the way to the lighthouse. During high tide we saw a seal which was really cool. The meals we had from the local restaurants can only be described as absofreakinglutely amazing! The seafood was just delicious. The lobster bisque and lobster roll from Allison's was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The she-crab soup from the Maine Diner was so delicious. The food from the Chowder House and Clam Shack were amazing as well. I will miss that definitely! My only complaint about this vacation is that we only booked 1 week. I definitely recommend renting this house if you want an absolutely relaxing and memorable vacation!

Spectacular location
Loved our stay in beautiful house Especially enjoyed the short walk to stores/restaurants and of course the opportunity to walk on the sand flats when the tide went out. Only suggestion would be to maybe update mattresses as a few were a bit hard. But we would definitely return.

Great stay at Wahwa!
This place is absolutely exceptional. We never felt the need to leave once in our four days at the house....the wraparound deck always has both sun and shade from dusk til dawn. The flats are walkable (and completely magical, an incomparable foot massage!) at low tide and swimmable/kayakable (off the dock) at high tide (and 2 hours before/after, give or take). The house is a 3 minute drive, 15 minute walk from the center of Cape Porpoise, and 7-8 minutes drive from Kennebunkport....so if you need things, everything is nearby. Candida and family were great hosts and were next door/reachable should you need them.

The Yellow house was really a special place! The location and views were amazing! We loved being in Cape Porpoise this time of year to see the foliage! The house was furnished very nicely and was well equipped! The upstairs baths were a bit snug but we understand the owners are updating this winter! The restaurants and shops in the Cape Porpoise area/ Kennebunkport are delightful! We truly enjoyed our long weekend get away!

Perfection
Wahwa is wonderful. The house itself is as clean as it is comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. The views from the porch, lawn, and living room and bedrooms are stunning. The natural rhythm of weather and tides encourages everyone to relax and engage the day as it comes. There are plenty of activities for all levels of skill and energy. Lie on the porch with a good book, walk the sand flats, swim, kayak in the harbor or head into the ocean. Or do all of the above in a day, rinse and repeat. Not into water activities- bikes and a gentle on the knees clay tennis court are available. Hungry and don’t feel like cooking ? You can walk to several good restaurants and deli food. Willing to cook? Check out Langsford Rd Fishhouse for fresh seafood. Watch the sunset as you barbecue. Put your feet up and see the moon upon the water. Sleep well in comfortable beds. Enjoy perfection.

Such a special place!
Wahwa did not disappoint again! Such a special place to our family, as we vacationed here as children and now can enjoy with our children. We had such fun on the kayaks at high tide and exploring the flats and islands at low tide. The weather was perfect-only a quick thunderstorm Saturday afternoon, but then a beautiful rainbow appeared shortly thereafter. Louise, next door at Wahwa North, was fabulous! Friendly, helpful and so accommodating. We love our time at Wahwa!

A relaxing family vacation!
We had an amazing time at Wawah South Cottage! It was the perfect home away from home with an amazing view and unique experiences right outside the door including the tidal flats (a big hit with our 2 year old) and the kayaking. Communication was great and the hosts even coordinated with our baby rental equipment so that everything went super smoothly. Great location with many options for things to do, both walking distance and quick drives. Thank you for everything!

Wonderful Family Vacation at Wahwa Cottage
My family spent a memorable week at Wahwa Cottage in early June. The cottage is spacious, very clean, and fully stocked with the essentials, like towels, linens, kitchenware, soaps, toilet paper, etc., which was much appreciated. The home feels modern yet maintains charming elements of its storied past, like sinks in each of the bedrooms and antique furniture throughout the home. Our favorite part was definitely the breathtaking views, which can be seen from very window, and the porch, which was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the islands and lighthouse of Cape Porpoise. We enjoyed exploring the sand flats at low tide and searching for seashells, and several of us enjoyed taking out the two kayaks that are available for use. The location of the home is ideal, as it's only about a 5 to 10 minute drive to downtown Kennebunkport and within walking distance to many great restaurants, including the Chowder House at the pier. It was a wonderful family vacation and we hope to return one day!

60th Birthday at Cape Porpoise
This home is absolutely beautiful! There are gorgeous views. The house maintains the unique charm from when it was originally built, but is updated to make every day living very comfortable. The house is clean, there are plenty of towels, blankets, and linens. It was easy to check-in and check out. The instructions for staying in the house were very helpful. The owners were very responsive, kind, and helpful. This was the perfect place to go to celebrate my husband's 60th Birthday. I flew our grown children to Maine as a surprise. We were all able to stay at the house, which made my husband (and me) very happy! Everyone loved the house and the location. We will definitely go back. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience!!!! Thank you.

Beautiful home and great location!
We spent Labor Day weekend at Cape Porpoise, and it was the perfect way to end the summer. This house was spacious enough for our three families, very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The kids spent hours searching for sea creatures on the sand flats at low tide and swimming and kayaking when the tide was in. Restaurants within walking distance and a short 5 minute drive to downtown Kennebunkport. Great family vacation!
