Top 10 Coastal Maine Inns and B&Bs: The Kennebunkport Inn

Those in the real estate business are fond of saying that everything boils down to one – er, three – things: location, location and location. If that’s true, then our No. 7 pick has cornered the market on coastal Maine destinations. The Kennebunkport Inn is the only accommodation in this coastal city’s famous Dock Square, after all!

The Kennebunkport Inn’s central location means that shopping, dining and attractions galore are all just minutes from your door! Dock Square is known for more than just its spectacular coastal scenery; art galleries, museums and one-of-a-kind boutiques all line this landmark’s streets. Just beyond these earthly pleasures, you’ll find a wide array of aquatic pursuits like fishing, sailing and whale watching on the Atlantic Ocean’s deep blue waters. The Kennebunkport Inn even lets you choose the lodging that suits you, from the classic sophistication of the Main Inn to the breezy cottage-style rooms offered in the Wharfside Building.

We’d suggest working up an appetite for the inn’s newly-opened One Dock restaurant. This versatile Maine dining space alternates as a lively piano bar by night, while its patio offers al fresco dining under the starry coastal Maine sky. One Dock’s signature cocktails and Kennebunk River views accompany whichever dining experience you choose!
