Lovely stay in Maine at The Beach House Inn! Staff and accommodations were wonderful. Great location with very short walk to beach and beautiful view of the amazing coastline from porch and yard. Convenient to dining/shopping.

Lovely place just wish it had breakfast as an option. Not that many good choices nearby unless you just want pastries and coffee.

The inn was located in a beautiful location overlooking the water and had beautiful common areas. The bed was extremely comfortable.
Ashley, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and the property is very nice and well maintained. It’s in a residential area, with a front deck and lawn overlooking the ocean. Great spot about 1.6 miles from Kennebunkport harbor (a perfect walk mostly by the water). We really enjoyed our stay!
Ed, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property is truly lovely. We were able to sit in our room or on the patio and watch the ocean. It's quiet and comfortable and a short walk from the beach. However, it's not within walking distance of amenities which is it's only drawback. Despite that, we're already planning to go back!

Hilda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great bnb with thoughtful conveniences like bikes, beach chairs, 24 hour coffee/tea, and staff that provides help with everything. 1.5 miles from kennebunk so close enough to walk and bike while away from crowds. Walking distance to two beautiful beaches and porch and chairs to relax. Highly recommend.
Selena, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was very quaint and had a homey feel to it. The best feature was the free coffee and tea station they had in the lobby at all times of the day. The room was clean and had a large TV with a wide range of stations.
Becca, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean, quiet, beautiful
Heather, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our only disappointment with the hotel was that the reservations were for an ocean view room but instead we overlooked the parking lot. The hotel was clean, easily accessible, and included a parking which is definitely needed. The Kennebunk area is very busy and in town driving could be hectic. Reservations for dinning and probably anything else should be done in advance.
