Dallas Real Estate Report From Maine: Why We Love Beach Houses
Greetings from Kennebunkport, Maine. This is where we all gathered the day after our destination wedding: the beach house, Drakes Island, Maine. Wedding ceremony and reception were perfect — more than perfect, actually, at Kennebunkport’s breath-taking Breakwater Inn and Spa, on Saturday. Earlier in the day, the breeze had picked up, and though it was 75 degrees outside, I was freezing and drinking hot tea at three pm. We turned on the exterior heaters but at about 4:50, the wind calmed and settled for the next hour. It was as if God had turned off the fan. Perfect timing. After a long, fun and quite eventful night… we gathered at the beach house for lunch and beach walks on Sunday before everyone headed out. The gathering made me realize, more than ever, how important homes are in our lives, how they anchor us to family, memories and friends. Here we are, saying goodbye to my daughter and brand new son-in-law as they depart for their honeymoon, on the porch of the beach house where two generations have done the exact same thing. Homes: way more than bricks and mortar.

Hope you were able to grab possibly the world’s greatest breakfast at the Green Heron, just across the street, and the best clam chowder and lobster roll down at The Oarweed in Cape Porpoise.
Maine is a great place to live with homes that are the community, i.e. the people that live and visit in them. A great place to retire with either a summer retreat or year round ‘Mainayh”. p.s. A former Dallas native experiencing Maine to the fullest!
Ahhh – this makes me want to get married again! Congratulations!
Make the short drive south to Ogunquit and take a walk on the Marginal Way to Perkins Cove. Very scenic and relaxing.
Congrats, Cassie! This looks like so much fun. Can’t wait to see more pics.
Without a heart or someone to share the love with, your home is what you said it was: bricks and mortar. Glad your family possesses the secret ingredient required to transform the elements of construction into an essential element of life: love. Fun!
Also, why did Maine appear on my radar this summer? It seems as though several people were either going to Maine or had just recently returned from Maine this year. Did I not receive the Evite that everyone else seems to have received!?!?!?
