600' of Waterfront Chauncey Creek House, fenced yard, office, walk to the beach

Private and quiet, with room to roam, the Chauncey Creek House is a very special place for all to gather, anytime of the year. The house rests on 600 ft of waterfront on Chauncey Creek, a tidal waterway between Gerrish Island and the mainland. Nearly two acres of property provide room for water access (from our pier), interesting wildlife, and a fire pit with plenty of chairs to relax around the fire. There is a fenced yard for your pet. Walk the beautiful terrain and safely enjoy a stroll to the beach along Tower Road, a private, low-traffic road in this rural, residential neighborhood. The Chauncey Creek House has deeded access to Crescent Beach, just a 5-minute walk. From Crescent, it is only another 5-10 minutes along the beach to popular Seapoint Beach. The property borders (across the water) the neighboring Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, and the only residential neighbor is across the street on the landward side of the house. Miles and miles of wooded hikes are available; map provided.
A total of 6 guests can sleep and enjoy the Chauncey Creek House. The three bedrooms are upstairs (two twin beds in one bedroom and a queen bed in 2nd bedroom and a king in the largest bedroom). The largest bedroom features a sitting area by the window. There are 1¾ baths: one full bathroom upstairs with a vanity sink, beautiful claw foot bath tub with high-end fixtures, and toilet. This bathroom upstairs has two doors- one off the largest bedroom and the other off the hallway. The downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower with high-end fixtures, sink and toilet. All rooms have new windows, the downstairs water side has huge bay windows. These multiple windows, doorways and screen-porches allow excellent circulation of sea breeze off the Atlantic from Crescent Beach (about 2000 feet away across the salt marsh) or northwest winds off the abutting Creek. There are two AC units for the waterside bedrooms. Downstairs features a large living room with fireplace, in a separate room is a private office with desk/chair/printer set up and a couch. The dining room /kitchen area features large windows and a bar.
As noted, there is a screened-in porch on the eastern (ocean-side) end of the house equipped with a small dining table with access to the propane-fired Weber grill. and fenced in back yard. An additional porch, open to the afternoon sun, is located off the northwest side of the house picking up the NW wind and lovely views of the sunset and the fire pit. There is rustic arbor with chairs on the point that is lovely for watching the kingfishers, osprey, and other birds feed. The continuous rise and fall of the tide make for an evolving environment to watch.
Children are welcomed guests. We have a playpen, gate, and high seats for your convenience. We have limited fishing supplies and a crab trap. The walk-out basement is equipped with a ping pong table, picnic supplies and yard and board games. It also has a water view.
The home provides a large grassy fenced in lawn for your pet and another for the garden.
The 2,500 sq. ft home welcomes guests with warm, colorful walls, hardwood and soft pine floors and inviting comfortable furniture. The home is a modified cape house, with serene views of the tidal water and National Wildlife Refuge and access to over 600 feet of water front and pier.
From each room, large windows offer views of the large pine and oak trees, high-bush (and low) blueberries, small maple trees, sea grass. and the quiet waterfront beyond. This is a property that friends and family frequent, so guests will find all the necessary conveniences of home like cookware, utensils, spices, oils and serving bowls and trays to present any small or large meal. There are typically basic condiments left in the refrigerator.
The kitchen's large, open floor plan accommodates those that find themselves gathering in the kitchen, awaiting the next delicious meal. The large bay windows allow guests to catch sightings of wildlife and watch the ebb of flow of the creek's tide, just steps away. The chairs under the wisteria vine on the point are perfect for coffee or a glass of wine. You will have plenty of options on where to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
Picturesque Kittery Point is part of Kittery, Maine's oldest and southernmost town. Adjacent to York, it retains the unspoiled charm of a historic fishing village. Kittery has many lovely restaurants. There is plenty of scenery from any directions when traveling to Chauncey Creek House, along Maine Route 103 and US HWY 1A. It’s a pretty drive that winds past coastal cottages, salt marshes and forested properties. The rock fences and classic New England homes and historic buildings line the road, as it curves and edges past the water, with views of bobbing lobster boats anchored in the harbor.
Fort Foster, a lovely Town park (minimal entry fee) is located at the opposite end of Gerrish Island, less than five minutes by car, ten by bicycle (not provided), and 20-25 by foot with some lovely path options through the center of the island. The park provides great picnicking, waterfront walking paths, swimming access, and great views of Portsmouth Harbor and Pepperell Cove, Kittery Point. Other great hiking is available in the Wildlife Refuge and at other accessible trails shown on the guest’s arrival data.
Guests are welcome to use the two kayaks, one canoe and row boat that are near the pier or bring boats. The property has a private dock and float. Launch from either the salt marsh or the dock, depending on the tide. However, there is not a launch for boat trailers on the property. Keep in mind that the tide comes and goes twice each day for anywhere from 8-11 feet. Fishing is also popular on the creek.

This was our second Thanksgiving at Chauncey Creek, and we hope to have many more! Lucy and David's house is beautiful--the perfect place to relax and gather with family and friends. The location is magical, the house very much feels like home, and Lucy and David are warm and welcoming hosts. Five stars doesn't do Chauncey Creek justice; it deserves more!

fourth visit to Chauncey Creek

I think that the fact that this is our fourth year coming to Kittery says it all. We love the location. The tidal creek is great for paddle boards or kayaks. The beach is soooo private and just a short walk. I still cannot believe how few people are on the beach at any given time. We hope to return next year.

Birthday Getaway

We loved our stay at Chauncey Creek. House was very cozy and comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Kittery Point is a beautiful area, and the house had a lovely view. We had a great time exploring the area as well as just hanging out at the house by the fire with our friends listening to some good tunes with the help of their great stereo system. Owners were easy to communicate with, too.
