My husband and I stayed at the Tides Inn last September for the wedding of a friend. Online, the B&B seemed a bit rustic for us - but when we arrived we fell in love with it! The rooms are not huge, but they're very charming and well put together. There are a lot of porches with fantastic views of... more

Tides Inn by the Sea is a quaint but very rustic hotel. If you a looking for any luxury, this is not the place for you. It is a very old hotel, with small rooms. It is across the street from a beautiful beach which seems to go for miles. It is quiet and relaxing, which is great, but you... more

I love this place. Kristen and Marie are great . . . . and you can't beat the location. It is a lovely "inn by the sea" . . . nothing too fancy but very comfortable and relaxing. Truly enjoyed sitting on the front porch or the porch on the second floor with my morning coffee and evening cocktail. Don't... more

Overall impression was that the Inn was unkempt. Our room was dirty and smelled strongly of mildew. Furniture was falling apart. Even the bath towels were unmatched and worn. Yes, it's across from the beach, but it is definitely not worth the money. more

We use Kennebunkport as a stop over on our way up the coast of Maine. Tides Inn by the Sea is welcoming with the added touch of being right across the street from the beach. It is a lovely old Victorian Inn, very child friendly with a continental breakfast each morning. Going to sleep with the sound of the waves,... more

We first visited the Tides on our 20th anniversary, then our 21st, then our 25th. Since then we've been back every fall. We feel very much a part of the family when we walk in. Kristin and Marie always make our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. We plan to continue our yearly trek to the Inn from many years to... more

One of the few Inn's where the owner is actually there behind the desk day in and day out. The inn has been owned by Marie & Kristin since 1972 and are gracious hostesses. The Belvidere Club is one of the coziest dining rooms with innovative cuisine in Kennebunkport w/extensive wine list overlooking the ocean. Parker the bartender is wonderful,... more

This Inn is magnificent! We stayed there in 1996 with our 1-year-old son and had a wonderful time. We then traveled about over the years. Not feeling satisfied, we returned in 2003 with two more boys and again had a great time. We are now planning to return every year! Marie and Kristin are very personable. It is nice to... more

The Tides Inn By The Sea is the quintessential coastal Maine inn located on the 3 mile long best beach in that area, known as "Goose Rocks Beach", Kennebunkport Maine. It is Kennebunkport's best kept lodging & dining secret. I believe their website is www.tidesinnbythesea.com It's owned and run by a mother & her daughter since the late 70's, and... more
