The Cottages at Cabot Cove — Hotel in Kennebunkport

This was such a beautiful property with beautiful cottages. The grounds were well maintained with a beautiful variety of flowers, trees, and bushes. All of the cottages were absolutely beautiful to look at, I could sit outside for hours. I stayed in the #1 cottage called the Sunrise. It was a very beautiful clean cozy cottage. Keep in mind they are very small with lots of furniture to make the space even smaller. But it was super cute and manageable. During the first night, the shower would not drain. So during my entire shower, I was standing in ankle deep water which was kind of disgusting. But the next morning I alerted the front desk and they had maintenance come and fix the issue within 20 minutes. So that was great! One other thing I noticed was that several of the locks on the windows were either broken or did not work. Being that it is a cottage that is right next to the public street and being a solo traveler, this was a little concerning to me. But everything ended up being fine. If you don't like being next to the street avoid getting cottage #1 Sunrise and #15 Infatuation. Every morning they delivered a small breakfast which was delicious and made the stay even more cozy. They had beach towels and beach chairs you can borrow for your visits to the beach. They give you a tote bag in each cottage to use during your stay. I ended up purchasing the tote bag because I really loved it. The advertised price at the front desk is $37 but the little note at the cottage says they are $30. During checkout, I asked if I could be charged the $30 and the woman at the front desk said that is the old price but it wouldn't be a problem. When she handed me the new bill, she only deducted $5. I thought that was odd because it still was not the advertised price but at the end of the day, she did not have to do that. So either way I was grateful. They also give you a departing gift which was also another nice touch. I honestly was very disappointed that I didn't receive a watercolor photo of the Sunrise cottage I stayed in like the previous person did in their review below. That would have been an amazing keepsake/memory but what are you...

Stayed 7/8 & 7/9 in Infatuation cottage. First, Emily the front desk associate was so kind, informative (love her Georgia accent :) ) Our cottage was so cute & charming. When I walked in I couldn't wait to spend 2 nights there. It was like being on our honeymoon again. The extra touches were very nice (breakfast dropped off 8AM each morning hung outside door--warm breakfast egg/sausage bites, fresh fruit/juice. Afternoon snack of nutella bar. Next day muffin, fresh fruit/juice. Upon checkout a "ride home package" with local artist painting, nuts/dried fruit. The deck by the cove was very nice to sit on and watch the ducks/geese & tide. Very quiet even though one side of cottage is by a road. Nice adirondack chairs outside to sit in & listen to the many birds chirping away. We felt the cottage was perfect size for the 2 of us. Great size fridge, microwave, 2 burner stove, dishwasher, coffee maker/tea bags, air conditioner (worked great for the humid weather we had), ceiling fan, fully stocked cabinets/drawers. Comfortable sofa/chairs to watch TV. Table for playing games. Outside firepit, bikes, cornhole. 15 to 20 minute walk to dock square. Plenty of beaches to drive to if wanted (parking not cheap though). Allison's restaurant has great food/service (the fig/brie sandwich & salmon sandwich very good). My husband & I cannot wait to book this cottage again for next year. It is just what we needed...

We loved the setting at Cabot Cove, peaceful and quiet, and it was very close to the town. The staff was soooo nice and friendly, especially the young lady who serviced our room. Our cottage was serviced every day and very clean.|We received delicious chocolate whoopee pies upon arrival, a warm continental breakfast delivered to our door daily (although one day was a delicious pecan roll and my husband is allergic to nuts!), and an afternoon snack! Then a goodie bag upon departure!|We would choose a different cabin to stay in - our cabin, Seamist #8, was one of a few that didn't have a little front porch/area with Adirondack chairs to sit on with our morning coffee....it had a small side patio with an old table and chairs. The"sharp" knives were so dull that we even had a hard time cutting cheese :(. And the queen-sized bed was not comfortable - we're used to that size but we rolled together in the middle all night. As another reviewer said, the cottages are VERY small, so be aware....we had nowhere to open our suitcases! We would recommend getting a cottage that's a bigger option even if more money.|We wish the office could supply ice (we asked but there didn't) - there was one ice cube tray in our freezer which only lasted a couple drinks.|All in all, we would stay there again but choose a...
