Top Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

Port Inn & Suites Kennebunk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Very clean and a great location. Staff was excellent and so very helpful!"

Walk to Drakes Island Beach, Large Kitchen & Yard, Theater & Gym! Very Private

8/10 Good

"This property was lovely in many ways - it was set privately in a nice neighborhood. The home did have a well equipped kitchen, however you would need to bring all your spices, trash bags, napkins, etc. I feel these essentials would help a guest. The ice makers do not operate, so bring plenty of ice. The king suite is amazing - the other bedrooms are very basic. We had to purchase hangers as there were wire hangers and not many in the closets. I would recommend adding comfort to these other bedrooms, especially if you are sharing with another family (pillows, etc.). Also, we had to bring beach towels and beach chairs. The host was very accessible and friendly."

Private Family Heated Pool Home near Kennebunkport

10/10 Excellent

"The property is a rambling old Maine farm house on a huge piece of land. It is close enough to the beach that you can hear the breakers. It is extremely private. Only one neighbor can even bee seen and that is shielded by the vegetation.The pool is great. It was 82 degrees every day (ocean was a lot colder but it is Maine after all). We are three generation ranging from 4 to 71. With 3 baths and lots of bedrooms there was a lot of room to spread out. There is a screen porch as well as several decks to hang out on. Kitchen was well supplied with most everything you would need.This is our second year renting this property and a lot of improvements have been made. Great for a big family."

Cute cottage 1 mile from Drakes Island Beach with antique interior

10/10 Excellent

"This house was perfect for our group of five. It was clean with lots of amenities. Outside space was very relaxing. Close to Drakes Island Beach and lots of restaurants. Our host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return."
