Very nice boutique hotel. Location is a just short walk from downtown Kennebunkport shops and restaurants. Lunch at the Boathouse restaurant was great. We would stay there again, and will recommend to our friends.

We booked a room at The Boathouse at the last minute, and we are happy with our choice, close to everything, but the room was nice and quiet. It was spacious, clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant and the breakfast that was included with our room was delightful. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Great hotel in a great location right on the water. The hotel’s restaurant is also very good with a great oyster selection and view. Absolutely would come back! The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating— especially when it came to navigating parking in the busy lot! Only one small comment: the air conditioner in room 3 sounds like a jet engine, but it did keep the room nice and cold!!

I loved the location and the staff was excellent. Continental breakfast was good and we ate at their restaurant the first night and that was very good. Staff were wonderful throughout the whole stay. We were celebrating my birthday and cookies and bottle of wine waiting in my room, which was a nice surprise. Property is older but very clean and well kept up.
