We recently returned from a 3-night stay at the Seaside. As always, we were very comfortable! The rooms are immaculate and very large. The small in-room refrigerator is a big plus. It is wonderful to walk right out the door, across the lawn, and along the beach. We have stayed there often, usually once in the spring and in the... More

We went in the off season. This is the second visit to this inn. It was so enjoyable. The towels were fluffy, the beds were comfortable, and the service was friendly. I really recommend this inn. We were on a college visit, yet this bit if pampering felt great. Getting away for a romantic weekend here would be fabulous. The... More

My husband and I were taking a road trip through Maine and had never been to Kennebunk. We liked the town so stopped by the Chamber of Commerce to see if any rooms were available in town and the woman was on the phone with Seaside Inn, just our luck a cancellation. We got a great room on the ocean... More

We are so happy you took the time to discover the Kennebunk's. Many of our new guest's are so surprised at how quiet the town ais compared to Wells and Ogunquit. The Kennebunk's offer wonderful beaches and top quality restaurants without the crowds of other tourist areas. It means so much to all of the staff when a new guests... More

Our first time to the east coast, and we were so fortunate! This beautiful gem right on the ocean could not have been better! From the friendly people to the crisp, clean room, to the ocean a little ways from our door, we could not have been happier. There was a complimentary breakfast in a beautiful room lined with Blue...

My friend and I recently returned from our second girls' getaway to the Seaside Inn this year. We both love it and cannot recommend it highly enough. A quick walk across the lawn and down a few steps, and you're on the beach!! Definitely reserve a second-floor ocean view room; the private balconies are fabulous, and the views are stunning....

Recently came back from 5 days at the Seaside Inn. This was our fourth trip there, and we enjoyed it immensely. The rooms are large, comfortable, immaculate and even have a mini-fridge. And did I mention the great views of the ocean, the large lawn and the hot tub? But the best part is the staff - The Mason family... More

When we arrived at Seaside Inn I began to notice the walls were filled with historical pictures. My research on the internet revealed that the owners were part of a family of innkeepers going back to the 1600's - on this lovely part of Kennebunkport. The hospitality was outstanding as were the views outside our windows. But you just can't... More

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Seaside. Everytime I walk down the halls I still look at the family photos from the past. The Seaside has been owned by our family since the late 1600's and we are the 12th generation to run the business. We hope you had a good trip home and hope to... More

This place has the best real estate in all of Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. It was so nice to wake up and see the ocean and take a stroll along the sandy beach. I can't imagine why someone would pay $700-1,000 a night to stay at a place w/o a view since the body is sleeping anyway. The White Barn Inn... More

Leaving tomorrow and I want to say to the previous reviewer, are you such an incredibly unsophisticated traveler that you don't know ALL hotels fly the flags of the countries of their guests. The Seaside has many Canadian guests this weekend so that's why they are flying the flag. Now I understand the rest of your review! We stayed in... More

The Inn was OK. Rooms were clean but worn and dated. My biggest complaint was in front of the Inn the Canadian flag was proudly flying but our American Flag was sadly missing. As far as I know Maine is still part of the United States. I'm not sure if they are unpatriotic and are making some kind of statement... More

I would like to start this response by first addressing the flag complaint. At the entrance circle of our property we have three flag poles. Not one, but three. We use these poles to fly the national flags of any foreign guest that stay at The Seaside. These flags our flown to make our foreign guests feel welcome and see... More
