The Edgewater Inn

Fabulous stay! Stayed in the cabin (two couples). Dog friendly. Professional and very friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing — French pressed coffee, fancy plating, delicious and prompt! Great location! Highly recommended and would absolutely go back!

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to get a last-​minute room here for the weekend and could not have been more pleased with our stay! We stayed in a dog-​friendly room on the first floor. The room looked and felt like we were staying in a friend’s beach home – the walls were a soothing light blue, and all of the furniture was white wood. Everything was brand new and immaculately clean. Even though we were on the first floor facing the street, it was perfectly quiet. The location is great – an easy walk to many restaurants, the beach, Ocean Avenue waterfront, and town. The inn is right on the water and they have beautiful outdoor furniture and blankets where you can sit and relax, as well as a living room with board games. They have bikes and kayaks you can rent. The best part might have been the breakfast though – most luxurious breakfast I have ever had and it’s included in the room rate! We had several courses including amuse bouche (amazing scones, fruit, pulled pork with mango salsa), poached eggs with hollandaise and lobster/​crab/​shrimp, lobster mac and cheese with steak and eggs, and lobster home fries – all enjoyed while sitting outside by the water. The chef used to work at the Ritz in NY and you can tell – if you don’t stay here, you should come just for the breakfast.
The Edgewater is elegant enough for a honeymoon but relaxed enough for a casual weekend. Caroline and her son Tristan were so sweet and accommodating during our stay, and we hope to come back very soon!

This is such a nice place to stay for a few days!
The owner, Caroline was so kind and very helpful. She was really eager to recommend places to go out (dinner, drinks etc.) and circled some stuff on the map for us. When she thought of something else we might enjoy she made a point to give us the brochure etc.
The grounds are nice. There is a nice outdoor space with picnic tables and chairs for stargazing.
The décor is really nice, and you can see the small thoughtful touches throughout.
If you can afford it, I would definitely recommend staying in a room with a view of the water. We stayed in the cheapest room and it was on the porch with a straight shot view of the parking lot and no natural light. The room itself was very nice, but I guess that was the only negative (really nothing they could do about it, but just an FYI for those looking to book).
And of course. saving the best point for last– the amazing 3 course breakfast. Elegantly decorated fruit plate, 2 amuse bouche (1 sweet, 1 savory) and a giant entrée. Plenty of options! Lobster mac and cheese is acceptable to eat at 10AM here! :P

Blonde older lady at front desk was super rude to 3 mothers with children under the age of 2 as I was looking for a place to stay. Wound up taking my business to the tides. Sooooo happy I did. Order the watermelon martini. Best I ever had

This is a fantastic place to stay! Beautiful inn and very nice and attentive owners. We showed up late (past 10 pm) but the owners made sure we check in okay! The place is very pretty and home like. The movie collection is impressive! The breakfast is even better!
We want to come back with our parents next time we come to maine :) the only thing was we couldn’t get wifi in our room but. It’s a vacation, who needs wifi when you have such beautiful view and house: p

The best breakfast I have ever had at a Bed & Breakfast. The chef is amazing, everyday he wetted our appetite with an «amusebush» of some fresh ingredient, creative dishes, the portions were plentiful (to much for me) and every bite was delicious & flavorful. The wait staff is friendly, helpful and charming. The atmosphere with a view of a pond off the Kennebunkport River was serene. The proprietor made sure we had everything we needed, the rooms were modern & very clean & freshly decorated. She gave us great advice for Dinner, (the Inn only serves breakfast & brunch) and entertainment. We will definitely be staying here again.

We loved everything about this place!
The owner, Caroline, was so friendly, welcoming, and professional. You can see her attention to detail in every nook and cranny of the inn.
The included three course breakfast each morning was delicious.
Highly recommended.

A+ across the board.
The décor — zen and relaxing.
Accommodating staff/​owner.
Relaxing yard on the river w/​tables, relaxing chairs.
Brilliantly amazing breakfast — heaven.
Quick distance from town.
Across from a few delightful stores.
We’ll soooooo be back!

Perfect spot — close to downtown and the beach. Amazing breakfast and wonderful service. Would recommend a room facing away from the street/​parking lot.

This place is fantastic! I stayed with my wife and my dog this past weekend. What a beautiful and quiet inn. The breakfast was fantastic and the owners are the friendliest people that you will ever meet. It is a bit of a walk to town (about a half mile I think), but the beach is right around the corner.
Can’t wait to go back!

Nice place, great location. Short walk to town. Room was clean, nice kingsize bed, down pillows and friendly staff. An exceptionally Great breakfast is included.

My family just stayed at the shannon cottage The cottage was very clean and large enough for my family of four and is pet friendly. The owner and the inn keeper was super nice and really made you feel like you were with family. The breakfast was great. The location was perfect. Great place for a family reunion.

My friends stayed at the Shannon Cottage when they were in town for my wedding. It was the perfect place for a few friends to stay. It also served at a meeting place for all of us that were in town. One morning I had an incredible breakfast with my friends who were staying at the Green Heron. Definitely the best breakfast in town (and as a Kennebunkport local I would know!).
Seriously, the Green Heron needs to open its doors to the public for breakfast again. Currently it is guests only.

My family stayed in the inn’s Shannon Cottage which is just adjacent to the main inn. The cottage was great — 3 beds, 2 bathrooms both with showers, tvs with dvd and vcr, a little kitchen with stovetop, microwave, dishes, cutlery, and a few other cooking implements. The inn even has a book and dvd library. Beautiful view of the river and the hummingbirds which feed frequently at the many feeders. Awesome location — right nextdoor to Mabels Lobster Claw which served fantastic dinner, ice cream and takeout. The inn is also a 2 minute walk to a small beach which is great for seaglass hunting and fishing off the breakers at the entrance to the harbor. We caught a 30 inch striper! It’s also a 1.5 mi scenic walk to Walker Point.
I have to say the highlight of our stay were the complimentary gourmet breakfasts every morning from 8 – 10. Tony (the chef) is incredible and has a great taste for food. There is always a sweet and a savory option, and Tony can always do standard breakfast fare for the less adventurous. Various cookies and bars are put out in the afternoon for late snacking as well. It’s a 5 minute drive into downtown Kennebunkport which is charming as well. Dan is a great host, and I plan on coming back again.

Well worth the stop over. Nice rooms, nice views, nice people. One of the best places we stayed on our trip.
