We loved our stay here and will definitely return! It was so clean and beautifully decorated. The staff were very friendly and helpful with making reservations. Location across from the ocean and close to Kennebunkport was great.

Great spot in Kennebunk

The Beach House Inn is a lovely place to stay. Our host Cynthia was extremely friendly and helped us get oriented to the area with a map and suggested spots for shopping and dining. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable with quality furnishings, linens and toiletries. They have bikes and beach chairs for their guests and rocking chairs for relaxing on the front porch overlooking the beach across the street. We will stay here again on our journeys up the coast.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Alina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely place just wish it had breakfast as an option. Not that many good choices nearby unless you just want pastries and coffee.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mattress and pillow very squishy/saggy and need replaced, window sills and windows very dusty, no ocean view, people above us were moving their furniture, dragging across the wooden floor to the point that it was concerning!! Tip envelopes and magazines were water logged. Parking area was private, view from living room was ocean view, linens were fresh, furniture very miss matched. Nice tea and coffee area

Beach House

Bathroom was cramped and fixes were broken, Hallways were dingy.

10/10 Exceptional

Great bnb with thoughtful conveniences like bikes, beach chairs, 24 hour coffee/tea, and staff that provides help with everything. 1.5 miles from kennebunk so close enough to walk and bike while away from crowds. Walking distance to two beautiful beaches and porch and chairs to relax. Highly recommend.
Selena, 1-night trip

Great location. Great value. But the window air-conditioning unit in the window was very loud. Made it hard to sleep.

Wonderful place to stay for the weekend!
Tyler, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff is disinterested and entitled. No actual Beach at the beach house. Beautiful view/Rocky Shoreline, but no beach. No restaurants or other amenities in walking distance. No place to get any food. The beach house doesn’t even serve muffins/or even the most minimal continental breakfast. The coffee and tea isn’t bad. For $500 a night I think it’s a bit of a rip off.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay - walkable to beaches- bike ride to restaurants - or just relax at the property! Bathrooms were clean and the staff was very pleasant!

The beach house was in an excellent location right across the street from the beach and not too far from downtown. The decor in the room was cute and the beds were comfortable, but the bathrooms do need to be upgraded. Staff were super nice and great coffee and tea station!
