Iconic turn of the century inn. Part of Kennebunkport's historic landscape. Check out the beautiful interior then have lunch or dinner outside at the pool side patio. During the summer catch a performance of Main Stage Shakespeare presented on the lawn overlooking the Atlantic (google it for the schedule, also presented at Lafayette Park in Kennebunk). You're definitely on vacation when you're relaxing here!

I love to relax on the porch enjoying a plate of mussels and a glass of wine while listening to live music. Feels like you're relaxing at your own Victorian mansion overlooking the ocean (although the interior is more Miami Beach, cool bar). Stroll on the beautiful white sand beach after.
