This was the cutest inn with such nice staff, spacious rooms, and a good parking area. Across the street from the ocean, there’s Adirondack chairs and fire pits. Lots of things to use also like bikes. Very accommodating and nice. Clean and smelled so great!

The reason for the lower review is, the carpet in our room was very stained and dirty looking. It definitely needs to be replaced. I believe it is beyond cleaning.

Awesome property, I personally think it’s the best location. Close to everything but quiet and across the street is the ocean with sidewalk to walk on. Walked everyday along the ocean and also close to the beach, can walk on that all the way to kennebunkport inlet waterway.

The location is spectacular. It truly sells the place along with the staff members. The rooms could use some upgrading but otherwise a great stay.
