Family-owned inn in Kennebunkport's Lower Village, steps from Dock Square
Location
King'S Port Inn sits at the entrance to Kennebunkport's Lower Village, a two-minute walk from Dock Square and its shops and restaurants. Kennebunk Beach is less than one mile down the road, and Goat Island Lighthouse is a short drive away. Free on-site parking lets guests leave the car for the entire stay and explore the area on foot or by rented e-bike.
Rooms
Upgraded rooms include a two-person Jacuzzi tub and a gas fireplace, with some suites offering a wet room with double showerheads. The Premium King and Deluxe King Suite are the most requested layouts among couples returning for anniversary trips. Rooms have been recently renovated with new mattresses and pillows, and all include a flat-screen TV and mini-fridge.
Breakfast
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, featuring Maine blueberry toppings, fresh Belgian waffles made to order, and locally sourced pastries. The breakfast room also offers 24-hour coffee and tea service from a machine that dispenses cappuccino and lattes. Guests regularly praise the waffles and the friendly staff member who prepares them.
Family-Friendly & Nearby Attractions
The inn is a short walk from a playground and lifeguarded beaches, making it a practical choice for families with children. Rachel Carson Wildlife Reserve and Wells Reserve are within a five-minute drive, offering walking trails and birdwatching. The First Families Museum and trolley bus tours depart from Dock Square, all within walking distance of the hotel.
Special Amenities
The inn has been family-owned for more than 40 years, and staff members are known for providing detailed local recommendations and maps. Guests receive early check-in and late parking options upon request, a benefit frequently mentioned in reviews. The hotel's exterior corridors are enclosed with clear roll-down panels during cold weather, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoor seating area year-round.

“This is a thoughtfully appointed inn where comfort meets convenience. The location is truly central, placing town amenities within easy walking distance, and the rooms are noted for their quiet comfort, particularly the beds and showers. Breakfast is a pleasant, simple inclusion, making for a very sensible stay.”
