    We are so glad we were sent here by another B&B who didn't have vacancy. Judy and her husband are super friendly and helpful. Our room is adorable. My husband and I are loving it.

    My wife and I stayed here for the second time for a reason.. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable,clean Cozy and well maintained. The staff ,the best, Judi and Walter are always there to help you and guide you with anything you need , from good restaurants , hair salons, activities etc Duke was very nice giving us a whole information that you need to know about the place . We are in love with the place and town hoping one day we can move close to this place were people are nicer and life seems less stressful then New York . To Walter , Judi and staff thank you for making our stay always wonderful. Oh the breakfast is delicious always ! Is home style cooking not your typical B&B breakfast cooking so if you like eggs and bacon every morning go to the supermarket and make it yourself ;)

    My husband booked us a weekend away at the Maine Stay Inn. We stayed in cottage # 11 for 3 nights. When we arrived we were greeted by Judy and offered cookies and tea. She gave us a map and showed us some popular spots to go. She also recommended a few restaurants for dinner. One which was Nunan's Lobster hut which served the most delicious lobster we have ever eaten and reasonably priced. Our cottage was adorable and very homey. Every morning we had the option of eating breakfast on the porch or have it delivered to our cottage. What a nice treat it was waking up to a gourmet breakfast. Each breakfast was better than the next. Everything was lovely and we never wanted for anything. It was a great weekend.

    Our tiny bathroom sink was almost AWOL

    Your dentist probably has a larger sink next to their patient's chair than did our bathroom at AWOL Kennebunkport. That tiny sink is tucked into a tight corner of the bathroom, with 2, 12-inch mirrors - I could only extend my arm to shave or brush teeth using only one of them without being blocked by the wall. The shower was tiny as well. I happen to be on the small side for men, 5-8" 160 pounds, but if I was 6-2" 250-300, I wouldn't be able to shower without keeping one of my legs outside the stall. Even for myself, there was no way to stand in the shower stall outside the stream of water. Regarding service, although the staff was friendly when you saw them, they seemed to spend their time in an office away from the lobby so that if you wanted to speak to them, you had to ring a call button for them and wait for them to come upstairs. Positives include the property's location and the breakfast, but for the price they charge and the uncomfortable bathroom, I'd recommend finding another place. The room was uncomfortable and way over-priced for what it was.

Accommodating, helpful and very friendly staff. We bought some fresh oysters down east but hadn't thought of the oyster knife. Asked the manager if, by chance we could possibly borrow an oyster knife? Well, due to liability issues, they would not allow me to borrow the knife but offered to have the chef shuck them for us (after signing a waiver!.....I hate where our country is, but totally understand!). We listened to live piano to relax us during a raining and "trafficy" day driving from down east and Acadia national park. Just one mile down the road from Walker's point (The Bush compound) I was really hoping that we might run into 'W' and Mrs. but to no avail. The room was well appointed and a corner room with beautiful views of the chanel. Picture commercial lobster boats moored at bouys as the tides rise and fall with the hours going by. A rainy day to start lead to clear skies and a beautiful bluebird sky with white puffy clouds to accent. Breakfast buffet included in the stay along with free bikes to use as guest made our stay complete. I only wish we had more time to spend here at the resort! Huge thanks for making our stay complete and fabulous!! Cheers to you all. Oh, I almost forgot, they have a shuttle that runs out to dock square every half hour. What a blessing.

    **This review is only for the event space and the bar near the event space**…read more Great location with more parking than typical in Kennebunkport. Amazing views, and the inside is gorgeous. Cute place with lots of cute decorations. They have a little bar right next to the event space that you can get a drink and it looks like you can get a drink to go as well. I would love to stay here sometime!

I prefer more amenities, which these KCC…read moreInns do not possess, such as elevators, in room safes, better bathroom mirrors, at least a bar or restaurant, employees at the ready (although they were fairly helpful when I texted them for assistance), and larger bathrooms. Plus, it was a bit noisy at 7am -I could hear the people on the floor above me using the bathroom and creaking floors when they walked; I could also hear them putting out breakfast in the sunroom below with the clanging of the dishes and the doors closing. If you prefer to stay at a bed-and-breakfast, then this might be a good place for you. The house was nicely furnished; my Junior suite was clean and fairly comfortable (although for some odd reason, the furniture was unusually low to the ground), and it was interesting from a historical perspective. It just really wasn't my style. One last FYI if you decide to stay there - there's no yard or street signage at any of the houses except the Nathaniel Lord Mansion - I drove around in circles looking for the Jefferds house.....

You're going to slog your luggage to your room yourself, perhaps in the rain or snow, from the parking lot, and most likely up a flight or, heaven forbid you booked one of the rooms on the third floor, up 2 flights of stairs. There always appeared to be just one staff person at the hotel, handling the front desk. The inn is very convenient to dock square. We only drove to dinner one night, the rest of the stay we had quite nice meals within a block or so of the hotel. We stayed in the perkins suite on the second floor. Nice sized room. Roomy bathroom, good shower, decent counter space and several drawers. Felt clean and new, like it had been remodeled not long ago. You knew you were in an older hotel, but the room was clean and well kept. Comfortable seating in front of the TV. They've upgraded to a larger TV than shows on many pictures. It was easy to pull out from the wall and switch out the hotel cable feed for our own streaming device. Plenty of convenient outlets. Good sized fridge. Bed comfortable and room can be kept reasonably dark and cold. A small missed opportunity not having a few more pieces of furniture in the room. There was plenty of available space where they could have put a small desk for working, a bench at the foot of the bed, or a floor lamp for evening lighting. All of these would have not crowded the room and would have made the stay more pleasant. Continental breakfast provided is very basic. If you want to be in the midst of Kennebunkport action, it's a good place to stay. But there are many other great options in the area, and the lack of service, especially around help with check in/out is enough to prevent us from ever returning.

    Very disappointed!! This place has so much potential? Either have a place or don't? DON'T do it…read morehalf way! The room was lovely and clean but only after I got upgraded to the bigger room. The first room was claustrophobic ( very small ) We didn't eat there but that was just because of the mindset created by the lack of cleanliness throughout the rest of the building! I would bet they haven't vacuumed or swept in a month? We stayed only after she upgraded our room but boy was it sad! Surprisingly there were a few other guests that I guess were ok?? Who knows, don't stay here unless the rest are full! So much potential???

She was full of recommendations (i.e. Goose Rocks Beach) and was friendly and kind without being overbearing. We showed up a bit late and the key was left in a coded lock box for us. The room was compact, but fine for my husband and I for our 2 night stay. We knew beforehand that breakfast would be boxed for us and that was fine. I was happy that they provided yogurt was Chobani and actually had some protein in it (unlike most continental breakfasts that are a carb party). We rented bikes and kayaks during our stay. It was great that they had these for us to utilize. The bikes should be covered during storage, however. They were a bit rusty. This was the priciest place that we stayed during our 7 night trip, but I wouldn't consider it the best. After our stay, I do feel that our stay should not have cost us so much.

The room was beautiful and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The room was a little tight on space and the toilet is right next to the door so is a little awkward. Modern power plugs convenient to the bed were not in evidence. There was a sitting chair but no where to sit and eat or to work. The desk folks were very nice and helpful with local suggestions for eating and things to do. ***VERY not happy with the continental breakfast. You shouldn't list yourself as a B&B and have continental breakfast. Being a B&B implies hot breakfast... period!*** Not only that, there was hardly anything on it... there was only orange juice, coffee, and tea... no apple or any other kind of juice. There was yogurt and fruit but there was only one kind of cereal (Cheerios), only 2 kinds of bread... white and wheat... No pastries, muffins, bagels, croissants, rolls, English muffins, doughnuts, etc. To be fair, I think there was oatmeal and there was banana bread that was pretty good. The one good thing I can say about the breakfast is that it was available at 7:30am instead of 8:30 like some of the other B&Bs we stayed at on this trip. ***Almost all of the other reviews of this place had HOT breakfast on them so I guess we were just ripped off.*** I would love to give this place a great review and I would probably have come back if it weren't for the breakfast ripoff.
