We stayed in the Assisi Room; it was light, roomy, and very clean. Staff could not have been more accommodating. Town was close enough to walk to easily enough. Breakfast was at 8:15 (or you could go to the second seating a little later). Everyone sits around a large dining room table and is served the same thing (no choices... More

We decided at the last minute to spend a week end in Kennebunkport. We did not have any reservation, but luckily we found a room at Captain Jefferds Inn. It was a treat. Lovely place to stay: warm, cozy, decorated with taste. Our room (Florida) was very charming. Breakfasts were fabulous. We also enjoyed the snacks in the afternoon. Our... More

We originally stayed at CJI in December for the Xmas Prelude and had such a wonderful time; we decided to spend our anniversary there this past week. Once again, our expectations were exceeded! Prior to booking, we spoke with Steve (an assistant inn-keeper) who assisted me in identifying great places to have dinner. He also helped with check-in arrangements since... More

Cozy and warm place to stay. Beautifully located. Nice building and rooms. Liked it very much. Certainliy a place to go again. Breakfast was very interesting ;-), but they have been flexible to cook something different quickly. Very helpful in solving our requests. Can only recommend this place.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your stay with us. We are always happy to accommodate special requests from guests, whether it is a room need like synthetic pillows rather than down or a dietary need regarding food. That is part of the beauty of staying at an inn or bed and breakfast; the... More

We had another fabulous weekend at The Captain Jefferds Inn! We were first introduced to CJI by family members, and on this (our third or fourth) stay, we "paid it forward" and brought friends with us. They loved it!! After a short drive of an hour and 15 minutes, we arrived just in time for afternoon tea. The homemade cookies... More

Only one block from the center of Kennebunkport, The Capt. Jefferds is the perfect place for a getaway. My room on the third floor had a fireplace to warm the chill of winter, a garden complete with waterfall to soothe the spirit, and views of the ocean.

Delighting our guests, both the two-legged and four-legged varieties, is of utmost importance.

This is a great little place right in the heart of Kennebunkport, Maine. The best part is that it is dog-friendly. About 5 minutes away is a beach where your dog can run wild. While it may seem a little pricey, it is worth it. A nice breakfast (which changes daily) is included. I had juice, coffee, yogurt parfait, blueberry... More
