very charming little place. loved our stay, wish it could have been longer! Great location as well, right across the ocean, 5 min away from the downtown/touristy area.

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.

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.

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.

I had a king oceanfront room on the third floor. The room was clean and set up nicely. I had a corner room so I had windows on two sides which made for a nice breeze flowing in. The ocean is directly across the street and it’s a short walk to the nearest beaches in either direction. Unlike a hotel, there isn’t anyone at the front desk after 8 pm but I didn’t need that. Coffee and teas are available. Only thing I wished for was a refrigerator in the room and there wasn’t one. Bed was very comfortable and I’d definitely stay again.

Fantastic location to spend time by the sea. You can relax, walk, see sunrise and a short distance drive to downtown Kennebunk.
