Even though you can't access the property, we felt like you really got a pretty good view of the Bush summer home. It's lovely, only wish I had an invite!

I can see why he and Barbara would love to summer here each year. A beautiful location. They had not arrived for the summer when we were there, but were expected within a few weeks so there was some work taking place on the grounds.

Though I did not vote for either Bush president, that fact doesn't deter from respecting and visiting the locales where the presidents live/lived. Secret Service and security cameras are always present. The home is very well guarded and tourists have no access to the compound. Don't even try it. The Bush family compound has been in the family for many... More

The other reviews are right.....there's little to no parking, it's a definite drive by spot, but well worth a look see! Really an amazing piece of land, and the house is huge and beautiful. No distance picture would really do it justice, but so worth seeing this slice of history, and imagining all the conversations that probably happened around the... More

A few small turnouts afford limited glimpses of the former President's family summer retreat. It's worth seeing if one is already in the area, but don't be surprised if there's nowhere to park. A good zoom lens is indispensable if you feel compelled to photograph it. Binoculars work just as well. Be alert for distracted pedestrians vying for a better... More

Although you really aren't allowed down on to the property it is a beautiful view from the little point next door.

Having heard so much about the Bush family and their Kennebunkport retreat, it was cool to actually see it in person. It is much more impressive than I thought it would be. You can only drive by from the street but it is worth the detour.

Loved the view and seeing where the Bushes spend some of their time. Seen it on tv but glad I got to see it in person

While taking vacation up the eastern coast we decided to include the Bush summer residence as a drive by. What a beatiful place the Bush's have, if i was traveling and close to this i would make it a must stop. We will visit again in the future and spend a couple of days at Kennebunkport as it seamed like... More
