    Cute little kitchen
    Ashley G.

    Perfect location for a romantic getaway! My husband and I could not have asked for a better location on our honeymoon. We drove up on white, shells that lined the drive and walkways. Each cottage was beautifully landscaped, and truly felt secluded. There was a whoopie pie in the room that was delectable. The cottages are located on an inlet that had no water during low tide. My husband and I simply sat and watched the tide rise. It was such an awesome experience. The chairs are located right off the shore so we brought a bottle of wine to sit back and enjoy. Breakfast in the morning was delivered to our door with two muffins, fresh OJ, and a yogurt parfait. My husband and I felt unbelievably spoiled at the end of our trip. This is worth the visit if even for one night only.

    AS GOOD AS IT GETS! My one quick tidbit before going off would be...after Labor Day weekend is best :) - just my opinion. Just relaxing but still a sense of community. I loved every part of the cottages and Kennebunkport. I really do not want to over sell it. Just know its awesome. Read the positive reviews already on here.

    When planning a vacation in coastal Maine, we were struck by the beauty of these cottages. And when we learned that there was a resort group that managed all the cottages and grounds, we were sold! Each cottage has its own merits but we couldn't resist either the size or the location of the Harbor Cottage (#10). It is the most expensive one but we don't regret our decision. Beautifully situated at the end of a sea shell lane, it is the largest cottage at 400 square feet and has a sweeping view of the cove. The cottage includes a living room, separate bedroom, bathroom and small kitchen complete with refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, dishwasher and cabinets well stocked with plates, glasses, utensils and even a blender. Each cottage is professionally decorated in a different style and ours was done in a pretty nautical, beachy motif. An air conditioner in the bedroom and ceiling fans in both rooms kept the cottage cool and comfortable. Two televisions and plush living room furniture provided the comforts of home. Patio furniture and outdoor lounge chairs facing the water provided a stunning place to have an afternoon cocktail while making plans for dinner. The grounds themselves are perfectly manicured and professionally tended. Neatly mowed grass, trimmed hedges and flower beds are delightful to look at and the office provides beach towels and bicycles. Each cottage has a coffee maker but, in addition, every morning around 8:00 am, a little tote bag is left on cottage doorknobs containing breakfast for two. There was always juice, fruit, yogurt and some kind of pastry. On our first morning we were treated to hard boiled eggs and bacon scones. Other breakfasts we received included chocolate chip muffins, ham & cheese croissants and, our personal favorite, a warm French baguette and a hunk of brie cheese. Yum! Our cottage had a comfortable little dining table and two chairs where we could sit and enjoy our breakfasts before heading out to sight see. The highlight of the little cottage enclave is definitely the little cove that feeds into the Kennebunk River. The cottage fee includes complimentary use of kayaks and rowboats and the office provides life jackets and a tidal schedule. For us, though, the Harbor Cottage provided our favorite highlight in the form of a giant wall of French windows and doors that overlooked the water. Our view was spectacular and there was an interesting little hidden table and chair area just a few steps from our door. It made for a delightful spot to sit and sip a refreshing frozen daiquiri. In addition to the private patio furniture outside every cottage, there are also chaise lounges overlooking the water for everyone to enjoy. Housekeeping is provided for each cottage and we were delighted to return to our cottage and find that even the dishes had been done. The office is managed between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm by a delightful woman who was happy to help in any way she could. The only issue we ran into is that the curtains on our huge wall of French windows were really only small panels that remained on the side and left the room, and us, on full display. We addressed it with the manager the following morning and she said she knew and had made the cottage owners aware but they were not inclined to change the situation. But we were adamant that we were not paying an exorbitant rate for a cottage with no privacy. She assured us that something would be done that day. And when we returned to our cottage in the late afternoon, we found that she and her staff had replaced the curtains in our cottage with larger panels that would allow for full privacy. We appreciated that she not only acted swiftly but overruled the wishes of the cottage owner in favor of the guest's wishes. And that, after all, is the benefit of a resort company managing the facility. We were very pleased. And so we spent a few delightful days in this magical spot. When we and several other cottage occupants were checking out that last Sunday morning, we overheard one couple say they were "sadly" checking out of their cottage. And that's just how we felt. We paid, were handed a complimentary goodie bag for the long drive home and were not the least bit excited to get there. In fact, we'd already scoped out all the other cottages to make sure we still wanted to rent "Harbor" the following year. We do.

    Cabot Cove Cottages is a beautiful spot, on a quiet little cove. The cottages are very nicely appointed and cozy. Each cottage has an outside patio and a set of Adirondack chairs. The cottages are individually appointed by different designers. They have a small but workable kitchen and a nice bathroom. I stayed here one night over the weekend and found it very relaxing.

    absolutely LOVED cabot cove! one night was NOT enough and we want to make this place a summer tradition :) adorable, cozy, stylish, quiet, relaxing, reasonably priced, fun, quaint...and the list goes on. we stayed in the "sunrise" cottage and it surpassed our expectations. we took advantage of the free kayaking as well as the free bicycle rentals. we rode our bikes to the beach and it was a quick and beautiful ride. we were welcomed to our cute cottage with a "mainely pastries" whoopie pie and classical music that set the tone of our entire visit. the cabinets were stocked with clean utensils, dinnerware and cooking tools. free wifi, ihome, flatscreen tvs with dvd players, coffee machine, and great linens/towels/toiletries. the bed was VERY comfortable!! we were so impressed and had a wonderful time. in the morning, the breakfast delivered to our cottage was delicious - OJ, fruit, eggs, and pastries. basically breakfast in bed...awesome. i strongly recommend staying here if you are in the area because you will have a fabulous time and truly relax.

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.

The customer service, cleanliness, attentiveness and responsiveness to our needs and requests was top notch! The rooms were clean and spacious, the food was excellent, and the over-all atmosphere was warm and inviting. There were activities on site for the kids, they played soccer in the open area, as well as sat by the fire pits in the evenings. There was a floating sauna, lobster boat, kayaks, and bikes that could be used around the area. Shuttle service was also offered to take people into town and back which was a nice bonus. Housekeeping was great and can I say the towels were so soft! I can't say enough good things and would highly recommend this resort! Thank you to the Nonantum team for taking such great care of our group!

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.

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.
