Send a gift to a vacation rental in Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport in late summer arrives quietly. A house on Ocean Avenue with the windows open, an inn near Cape Porpoise, a clapboard rental pinning the dunes — the welcome here is the first cup of coffee in a kitchen that smells faintly of salt.
What fits, here
- Maine wild blueberry preserves in a glass jar, tied by hand
- A loaf of cardamom bread from Standard Baking, ferried up the night before
- A Byredo Mojave Ghost candle for the early-morning kitchen
- A book by Elizabeth Strout or Richard Ford
- Aesop Geranium Leaf body cleanser for the salt-air rinse
An arrival scene
A weekend in early September. A couple arriving at a rented house near the point.
- A loaf of cardamom bread on the counter, still in the bakery wrap
- A small jar of blueberry preserves and a butter knife laid beside it
- A note from the gifter on heavy paper, on the kitchen table
- A walking map to the Goose Rocks tidal flat, with tide times pencilled in
Tide is at 6:14. Bread is from Standard, in Portland. Wear the warm thing.
Walks
- Goose Rocks Beach at low tide — three miles of hard sand if you time it right.
- The trolley path from Ocean Avenue down past the lighthouse — quiet, mostly residential.
- Cape Porpoise harbor, with a coffee, in the early morning before the boats leave.
