The Best Kennebunk and Kennebunk Beach Maine Hotels, Lodging, and Resorts
Lodging in Kennebunk often means a stay at a beautiful bed and breakfast, grand vacation home rental or lovely seaside inn.
Many vacationers find themselves visiting every year after falling in love with the gorgeous natural aspect of Kennebunk’s beaches, scenic area lighthouses as well as a bustling shopping scene in downtown Kennebunk, Harbor Village and nearby Dock Square. Kennebunk is an ideal location with its locale near I-95 and US Route 1, and nearby towns including Wells and Kennebunkport.
Ironically, many people vacation in Kennebunk year after year but think they are in Kennebunkport! This is due to the fact that many Inns in Kennebunk will purchase a PO Box in Kennebunkport as it is a more prestigious and recognizable address.
