We loved our stay here and will definitely return! It was so clean and beautifully decorated. The staff were very friendly and helpful with making reservations. Location across from the ocean and close to Kennebunkport was great.

Although the property was much larger than I thought it was, we found the Inn to be very nice. The furnishings were great and proximity to the beach was perfect.

Great location. Great value. But the window air-conditioning unit in the window was very loud. Made it hard to sleep.

Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was bright and airy and had great views of the sea. Free coffee, tea and other drinks were an added plus. The front desk staff could not have been nicer. And the price was right.
George, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a nice relaxing place to chill with my family. Right across the street from the beach. Views are beautiful.
Maquiling, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this place! Right across the street from the ocean. Rooms and lobby are spacious, bright and clean. It's further out from town, but still walk-able (~40 mins walk) and a short drive. Highly recommend.
Jayme, 1-night trip

Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely guest house, room was clean and bright, staff were friendly and helpful. We borrowed the bikes (they’re free) and cycled around the town which was great fun. Would definitely recommend.
Gillian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing getaway!

The Beach House has a very B&B feel - someone is always near the front door to answer questions and provide various little amenities that you might need. The guest rooms are super comfortable and the beds are even more comfortable. There is 24-hour coffee available and it's excellent! Most of all, sitting out front on the Adirondack chairs, or on the front porch, drinking your coffee (or beverage of your choice) and watching the ocean as people walk their dogs past the house was one of our favorite things about our stay! And if it's a little too chilly out there, the well-appointed living room has beautiful picture windows with the same view. Awesome place to relax or come home to.
Jonathan, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very cute on outside and great location right across the street from the ocean and nice receptionist. The only negative is the carpet in the room needs to be replaced or even better have no carpet as it makes the room very musty smelling.
Alicia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I loved being across from the Ocean and so close to several beaches. I do wish the walk for breakfast wasn’t so far, but that’s only due to my laziness. It was a great location. The staff was super friendly too. My only downside was hearing the water run like it was in my room, but it knead either upstairs or next door. Not a deal breaker and nothing they can do about it.
