What guests think

Across many reviews, The Beach House Inn stands out for its scenic oceanfront setting, friendly staff, and relaxing common areas like the porch, with frequent praise for bikes, beach chairs, and easy parking enhancing beach-going convenience.

Guests highlight easy beach access and a short drive or bike ride to Kennebunkport. Rooms vary: some are spacious and comfortable with great views, while others feel small or dated, with occasional noise, stained carpets, firm-or-saggy mattresses, bright or loud A/C, and compact bathrooms with limited storage. There’s no on-site breakfast and limited food within walking distance, but the lobby coffee/tea station and provided bikes, chairs, and towels are appreciated, and service is generally warm and helpful despite a few indifferent interactions and housekeeping by request. Overall, expect a charming, ocean-facing inn with simple amenities and a quiet, beach-focused stay.

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 Beach House has a very B&B feel - someone is always near the front door to answer questions and provide various little amenities that you might need. The guest rooms are super comfortable and the beds are even more comfortable. There is 24-hour coffee available and it's excellent! Most of all, sitting out front on the Adirondack chairs, or on the front porch, drinking your coffee (or beverage of your choice) and watching the ocean as people walk their dogs past the house was one of our favorite things about our stay! And if it's a little too chilly out there, the well-appointed living room has beautiful picture windows with the same view. Awesome place to relax or come home to.

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.

We loved sitting outside and looking at the ocean or sitting in the cozy greatroom playing games and visiting other people. The parking was extremely convenient. We could walk across the quiet street to the beach or take a short drive to the picture postcard town. They also offered beach chairs and bikes for the guest to use for free. The bed and pillows were very comfy.

The room was quiet and very clean and comfortable. There was no fan in the bathroom which made warm showers fog up the mirror in the bathroom for a longer period of time. The heating/AC unit had a bright blue light that literally lit up the room at night, not healthy for sleeping. The hotel itself was remarkable in that there was an elevator incorporated into this old beachfront house with lots of rooms. There was a good-sized parking lot in the back making it really easy to take bags and belongings into the room. Very precarious exit from the side street onto the main street in front of the hotel. Trying to clear your view of traffic from the left literally puts you in the middle of the street - scary! Very easy travel distance to Kennebunkport. Overall really enjoyed the brief stay and would definitely return.

Lily was absolutely delightful as she answered all our questions about Kennibunkport. She assisted us in selecting restaurants and places to visit. We loved the coffee bar available all day. We also appreciated the convenience of free use of beach towels, beach chairs, and bikes. The room was well decorated and comfortable. The bathroom could use more shelf space, but was fine. The star of the show is the view from the porch where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. The seating area in the lobby is stunning with beautiful views of the ocean as well. One of our Favorite Beach Stays ever! Highly recommend The Beach House Inn!

This is a wonderful place to stay, right across from the ocean / beach, and an easy 1 mile bike trip into Kennebunk. They have bicycles you can use for free. And the place is very clean, with fresh coffee / tea / apple cider and cookies, Friendly staff too, it's just a great hotel, will be back. John and Diane W

Room 431. We had a great, overnight stay. Beautiful location. Front desk was great. Bathroom amenities were a nice touch. 24/7 coffee/tea bar available in lobby. My only mild complaint; the window a/c unit is next to the head of the bed. It was very noisy (almost unbearable) and when on, emitted significant light. For someone who needs a quiet and dark bedroom while sleeping, it was challenging to sleep. I would suggest a new unit that is more quiet or a mini-split. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again but maybe in a different room.

I had a king oceanfront room on the third floor. The room was clean and set up nicely. I had a corner room so I had windows on two sides which made for a nice breeze flowing in. The ocean is directly across the street and it’s a short walk to the nearest beaches in either direction. Unlike a hotel, there isn’t anyone at the front desk after 8 pm but I didn’t need that. Coffee and teas are available. Only thing I wished for was a refrigerator in the room and there wasn’t one. Bed was very comfortable and I’d definitely stay again.

Our room was very nice but lacked a closet or anywhere to hang clothing. Hook on the back of the bathroom door was not affixed and fell off immediately. Settee upholstery worn . But the property in general is quiteovely.

The room we were given was really worn and outdated. It was so small we couldn’t open our suitcases anywhere, not even on the floor. The bathroom was old and outdated and everything was SO noisy, the toilets flushing and the doors closing in other rooms and the elevator and stairs which were right outside our door. Bed was small and uncomfortable. The best thing about this place was the view when we walked outside of the Atlantic Ocean.

Our room was located in the main house. We stayed during Memorial Day weekend, it was peaceful even though the inn was fully booked. We didn't have issues finding a parking spot. It's right across from the ocean, so it was great to go for walks. But walking to town might take longer and there was no sidewalk for that (however, you could ride a bike or drive, it was just a few minutes away). The premises were clean, and I enjoyed the small touches that you don't necessarily find elsewhere, like almond creamer and makeup removal towels. All the staff was nice and helpful. I would stay at The Beach House Inn again.

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.
