The Harbor Inn in Kennebunkport is hands-down our new favorite bed and breakfast. The owner, Mike,…read moreclearly understands hospitality on another level--he remembers the name of every single guest and you can tell he truly cares about the happiness of all guests during their stay. He gives a thorough overview of the inn when you arrive and always has great recommendations. I genuinely don't know if he sleeps at night because he's there to make you breakfast before 8:30am and is around at 10pm keeping the tea kettle hot for you. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, and the daily breakfast is generous and delicious. We also loved the thoughtful extras: a cozy tea bar, complimentary bikes, beach towels, and even Tommy Bahama chairs for the beach. Those little touches made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Location is great--close to a small beach and also the town. There are several restaurants even closer you can walk to as well. If you're looking for a place in Kennebunkport that truly goes above and beyond, the Harbor Inn is it.

I felt completely safe here and never had to move my car, except to go to the beach. It's incredibly walkable to the shopping center and surrounding restaurants and the walk up the cliff toward the bush compound. This is my 6th year coming to Kennebunk/Kennebunkport and now that I've found this gem, it will always be where I stay in town! The staff was incredible and I loved that guests had access to the kitchens in the houses to store leftovers and that water was left out for guests! The breakfast was also incredible and loved being able to sit out on the lawn and be able to enjoy my meal and to come back in the afternoon and just relax in the sun. I also had a late checkin and the staff made it incredibly easy to get in on my own. I really appreciate the little welcome gift that was waiting on me in my room! I highly recommend this place to anyone and literally everyone I meet. Will forever stay with this hotel group if I'm in a city they have a location! Side note: I overheard a conversation of 2 guests that weren't happy that it wasn't decorated like it should have been to be authentic, but with a quick look at the website, you can tell what you're getting, so just make sure you're booking the right place for you!

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.

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.
