This is the most perfect place i’ve ever been! It is the cutest cottage inn by the sea that made our first trip to Maine so special. We arrived a little after 8pm and staff was super friendly waiting for us. I also unfortunately got sick at the end of our trip, so the available tea bar was a lifesaver. I cannot wait to come back!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Beach House Inn in Kennebunk and would love to come back again someday, especially during the summer. The property was so charming, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Everything felt clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. I loved my room, especially being able to open the windows and let in the fresh ocean air and cool breeze. The furniture and decor throughout the inn were gorgeous, and I really appreciated the nice toiletries and soaking tub after a long day of traveling and exploring. I was only there for one cold and rainy night, but even then, the location felt peaceful and beautiful. I can only imagine how amazing it must be during warmer months. I noticed beach chairs available for guests, which was such a nice touch, and having parking on-site was super convenient. The elevator was also a pleasant surprise in a historic inn like this. One of my favorite parts of the stay was actually the espresso machine. I’m a huge coffee person, and after waking up around 4:30 a.m. to watch the sunrise, it was so nice to be able to make a fresh espresso and latte instead of relying on coffee that had been sitting in a canister. It honestly made the morning feel extra cozy and special. I also loved the little store on-site and how close the inn was to the beach. Overall, it was just such a gorgeous, relaxing, comfortable stay, and I’d absolutely return.
